What's the best way to fly to and from Morocco?

Our tours are based in five main Moroccan cities: Tangier, Marrakech, Fes, Casablanca, and Ouarzazate. We can start any extended tour from any location in Morocco, except for the Marrakech Desert Tours and Fes Desert Tours, which are specifically designed to enjoy the desert experience in a short period of time. The most popular airport is Casablanca International Airport, offering a wide range of international flights, followed by Marrakech Menara Airport. You can also reach Tangier by ferry from Spain, crossing the Strait of Gibraltar.

Do I need a Visa to enter Morocco?

For many countries, you do not need a visa to enter Morocco. Upon arrival, you will receive an entry stamp in your passport. Citizens of the United States, Canada, Australia, Great Britain, and several other countries do not need to apply for a tourist visa for the Morocco Tour. You will need a passport that is valid for six months beyond your stay and a round-trip airline ticket. Your passport must have at least one blank page.

How do I exchange money in Morocco?

If you have US dollars, Euros, or British Pounds, you can exchange money at an exchange bureau upon arrival at the airport or at your hotel, although the rate might not be as favorable as those found elsewhere. Our guide can assist in finding the best place to exchange your cash for local currency. It can be difficult to pay with large banknotes in Morocco, so be sure to get smaller denomination notes (10s and 20s) to make it easier when paying for inexpensive items like drinks and souvenirs.
