Morocco offers imperial cities, the Atlas Mountains and a long Atlantic and Mediterranean coast, and it is a popular trip for the diaspora and visitors alike. Choosing the right airport and season helps.
Morocco at a glance
- Main gateways: Casablanca Mohammed V (CMN), Marrakech Menara (RAK) and Tangier Ibn Battouta (TNG). Fès, Rabat and Agadir also have flights.

- Often better-value periods: late autumn and winter outside the holidays.

When to fly
Spring and autumn are comfortable for city touring and for hiking in the mountains. July and August are busy as Moroccans return home for the summer, and inland cities such as Marrakech are very hot. Ramadan and the Eid holidays move each year, and prices rise around them.
Routings and baggage
Royal Air Maroc has flown non-stop from several US cities to Casablanca and connects onward to Marrakech and other cities. Other routes connect through Europe or Istanbul. Check baggage allowances on the exact fare, because they vary, and check onward domestic tickets separately.
Airports and getting around
From Casablanca’s airport, trains link to the city, and a high-speed train, the Al Boraq, runs between Casablanca and Tangier. Marrakech is easy to reach by taxi, and in the old medina you will usually walk. Agree a taxi price or use the meter before you set off.

Before you go
Check passport validity and Morocco’s current entry rules for your nationality through the official government portal. A yellow fever certificate is needed only if you arrive from a risk country. Hepatitis A and typhoid vaccines are commonly recommended, and rabies is worth discussing if you will be near animals. See the CDC page for Morocco. Health notes reflect the CDC’s Travelers’ Health pages as last checked in October 2026, and notices change quickly.
