How to Travel to Morocco
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued a Level 1 Travel Health Notice for Morocco due to COVID-19, indicating a low level of COVID-19 in the country. For more information on COVID-19 in Morocco, please read below.

It is the number one country in the world that all his covid 19 cases got cured. For more details…… Morocco is open for travel and leisure to travelers only from the USA, Canada, China, Japan, Russia, Israel, and Saudi Arabia, as well as the rest of the world now during Covid 19. There are currently direct flights between Morocco and the United States on Royal Air Maroc (RAM) between Casablanca (CMN) and New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), as well as Casablanca and Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD). There are also flights between Casablanca and Montreal, Canada, but there are no regular flights to/from Europe at this time. The Consulate General is unable to make travel arrangements; U.S. citizens should book directly with the airlines. Due to the Health state of Emergency, U.S. citizens seeking to fly from Morocco to a destination other than the United States are required to obtain exceptional authorization from local authorities. |

Hi there,
I love Marrocco. It’s one of the most beautiful counties in the world,
I had the chance to explore Tanger, Rabat, and Casablanca. Now I would love to travel to Marakesh. It must be even more beautiful:) How long do you think it will take to visit all Marakesh? One week? Two weeks?
Also, if you don’t mind, when would be the best time to visit Marakesh?
Thanks a lot! I’ll certainly contact you very soon.
Hello Daniella, and Thank You for your feedback.
Marrakech would require 3 full days to explore, but if you wish to do Marrakech and area, you will need to add 2 days for the charming city of Essaouira, and 2 days for the Berber villages/high atlas mountains. 1 week will do. But if you wish to add the desert with a camel ride and overnight in the Sahara plus a visit to the imperial city of Fez, you will need an extra 4 or 5 days, and that would make it a total of about 12 days.
When ready, please feel free to contact us, and we will be more than happy to customize your Morocco tour based on your needs and desire.
Kind Regards,
Marrakech Morocco Tourism Team.

It is sad that many countries still cannot enter Morocco, but is understandable as most of the countries mentioned have either high cases for the virus or are entering their next wave of the virus. The curfew time period 4:30 am till 11 pm. I am certain there are people who want to travel early and to go out late and experience the country at night time, and that is a big plus for folks who will be traveling to Morocco. My family needs some time off as we haven’t traveled in 2 years now, and Morocco looks like a great option. I will be in touch. Thank you for this important information regarding traveling to Morocco.
Hello Bernard and Thank You for your feedback.
We look forward to hearing back from you and hosting you at the land of hospitality for a trip of a lifetime.

Good government brings about the safety of its people. I never knew that all cases of Covid in Morocco got cured. It shows they took preventive and corrective measures as early as possible. Top of it is sealing their countries to other nations that will not take necessary precautions. Unlike other nations that politicized the well-being of their citizens. Thank You for sharing. I will be contacting Marrakech Morocco Tourism for planning my family trip as we need a vacation very soon.
Hello parameter and thank you for your comment.
It will be a pleasure to help you customize a trip of a lifetime based on your desire and budget.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Aww, visiting Morocco would be like a dream come true. I have always pictured the Arab buildings with their painterly style. And the rich and interesting culture and history that surrounds Morocco. What I like the best is that I could start my journey from Spain. I can’t wait to start booking. Thank you very much for your post.
Hello Ann and thank you for your comment.
We look forward to hosting you at the land of hospitality.

Hi Akim
what a pity I am on the list of countries where there is a travel ban in place as I would have been booking tickets today!
Morocco seems absolutely breath taking and I am a huge foodie so the closest I have come to it is my tagine in which I prepare amazing morrocan flavoured dishes:)
I am used to an african climate so I know what to expect and would just love to take in the history and culture. Will definitely be planning a trip when this covid nightmare subsides
thanks for sharing
Awesome to hear. Thanks for your comment Janine. We are here to assist at any time.
Hello Akim, traveling during Covid-19 is very tricky to say the least. Your article is excellent as it gives all the necessary information and details. Morocco is a beautiful country. I have never been but I would love to be able to go. Thanks to your article, I now know that this is a valid option for my family’s next vacation.
Hello Anna and thank you for your comment.
We look forward to hosting you at the land of hospitality when you are ready.
Best Wishes,
