Getting to Morocco

Access to Morocco from the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe is becoming increasingly easy, with budget airlines such as Ryanair and easy- Jet flying into Marrakech and Agadir from a number of UK and European airports. Travellers from the US could take the Royal Air Maroc flight from JFK to Casablanca, but it would be far cheaper to fly to the UK or Europe and take a connecting flight to Morocco.

There are three base towns for all the routes described in this guide – Taroudant on the south-west end of the range; Marrakech west of centre on the northern side; and Midelt on the north-eastern fringe. The airport in Agadir is best for Taroudant, as driving time is less than 1hr. Marrakech has its own airport about 15mins drive from the city, which is very convenient. Alternatively you can fly into Casablanca, but this will add 3-4hrs to your travel time if your final destination is Marrakech, and a further 3hrs if your destination is Taroudant. For Midelt fly into either Fez or Marrakech (Fez is nearer but not very well served by flights).
