FAQs
Morocco is a popular and exotic place to visit on the north coast of Africa, so there are many flights from Europe, other places in Africa, the Middle East, and several cities in the United States. There are many choices of flights to this interesting city sitting both on the Atlantic Ocean and on the Mediterranean Sea. Exciting cities for visitors to explore include Casablanca, the largest city in Morocco, and other mesmerizing cities such as Agadir, Essaouira, Fez, Rabat, and Tangier. There are also ferries from Algerciras on the southern coast of Spain across the Mediterranean Sea to Tangier on the northern coast of Morocco. For most visitors, only a passport is needed to enter Morocco.
Morocco is perfect for travel all year long! Given the country’s geographic variety, there is always a region where the climate is mild. We can recommend the best destination for you based on the weather and your travel dates. In winter, you’ll want to head south to the desert. Nights can be chilly but during the day you’ll enjoy the sun and blue skies bereft of clouds. In summer, the Atlantic coast is generally balmy and it is the best season for treks in the Atlas. At over 1800m in altitude freshness is a safe bet! That being said, nothing is stopping you from discovering the Moroccan desert as long as you choose the right accommodation and can adapt to the heat.
To go on a walking tour in the mountains and desert, an accredited guide is necessary. And for visits of the medinas of bigger cities they are highly recommended. Especially in Fes and Marrakesh, a guide will enhance your cultural and historic understanding with their knowledge, guide you through the mazes of narrow roads to make sure you don’t miss any of the main attractions and protect you from tourist hassling. A bit of advice: make sure your guide sports the badge that official guides are required to wear and that it is real.
