How many hours does it take to fly to Morocco? On your own in Morocco: travel itinerary

  • 25.01.2024

Traveling to Morocco on your own is very easy! We have developed for you a detailed description of the route for traveling around Morocco with a detailed travel budget. The goal is to travel around the entire country without missing anything interesting.

Morocco is a great option for independent travel. Firstly, visa-free entry is open for Russians. Secondly, it is a very safe and politically calm country, which, among other things, is considered the most Europeanized Arab state. And thirdly, there is so much to see in Morocco that going there on a package holiday is absolutely pointless. If Morocco - then only on your own!

Exchange rate: 1 Moroccan dirham (MAD) ≈ 7 RUB.

We present to you the scenario of the deepest immersion in this amazing country.

Morocco: how to get there

The easiest way get to Morocco from Russia - this is an air flight. There are many possible options. These include direct flights of Royal Air Maroc from Moscow to Casablanca, and a whole range of possible combinations of flights with connections in different European cities (Paris, Brussels, Madrid, Rome, etc.). There is even an option to get to Morocco by sea: first you will need to, and from there, from one of the southern ports, take a ferry to Morocco. The swim will last from 1 to 2 hours. However, the last two options require a Schengen visa. In addition, they are unnecessarily tedious and time-consuming.

One way or another, to find the best option both in terms of price and convenience, you need to compare all possible options. Search for tickets All airlines provide services and Skyscanner. To learn how to find and book airline tickets at the lowest prices, study.

And, of course, it always makes sense to keep track of new ones on our website.

If you feel that you are not ready to organize an independent trip to Morocco, but want to go to this beautiful country, then fly on a tour. You can also find a ticket online.

Hotels in Morocco

Finding a hotel in popular tourist areas is not a problem. There is a large selection of hotels for every taste and budget in Chefchaun, Casablanca, Agadir, Essaouira, Rabat, Marrakech, Ouarzazate and many other cities.

It is better to book accommodation in advance, especially during high season.

We recommend searching hotels on the Roomguru.ru service. This is a search engine, it compares hotel prices across all popular booking systems (Booking, Agoda, Ozone, Ostrovok, etc.) and finds the best option. In general, it provides a wide choice and allows you to make a reservation at the best price. Pay attention to reviews and ratings of hotels - they are formed by tourists themselves, this is useful to use when choosing a good hotel.

We also recommend paying special attention to the service (experienced travelers will probably know it). You can book very interesting accommodation from the owners. Instead of a banal hotel, you can check into authentic riads, apartments or houses - and this, you see, is much more interesting, as well as more comfortable and often even cheaper. The choice of housing is very wide - thousands of options. Take a look, you'll definitely like something!

So, our independent journey through Morocco has begun - we are in Casablanca!

Some travelers, having visited Kas (this is what the Moroccans themselves call this city for short), dissuade them from going here, saying that the city is not authentic and there is nothing to do here. Don't believe them - they're lying. Going to the second largest city in Africa is one hundred percent worth it. The city is beautiful because it is an explosive mixture of the most heterogeneous elements: there are colorful slums, partly reminiscent of the slums of Rio, partly the black neighborhoods of American cities, there is also the spirit of Miami and something from southern European port cities like Marseille, well, Of course, it has its own life in the medina.

You can stay in Casablanca for two or three days - this is enough to explore the city.

How to get from the airport to Casablanca

Casablanca Airport is located quite a distance from the city itself - about 40 kilometers. A taxi will be incredibly expensive - 300 dirhams. Therefore, the easiest way to get cheaply (and at the same time comfortably and quickly) from the airport to Casablanca is by train. The station is located directly under the airport, trains run every hour. A second class ticket will cost 40 dirhams. We go to the city's central station - Gare Casa Voyageur.

Hotels in Casablanca

The cheapest hotels can be found in the medina. A double room can be rented for 100 dirhams. But be prepared for the fact that the room will not have a toilet or shower, and you will need to pay an additional 10 dirhams per person for hot water.

Hotels with a higher level of comfort will cost about 150-200 dirhams. They can be found in the central area of ​​the city. Also look at housing options on the service.

Public transport in Casablanca

The pride of the city is an ultra-modern tram that connects two residential areas, the city center and the beach. A ticket costs 7 dirhams and is purchased from special machines that stand next to each stop. After purchasing your ticket, you go through the turnstile and board the tram. This type of transport is considered expensive and is used only by representatives of the middle class. But this is a really comfortable and fast mode of transport.

A ticket for regular buses is cheaper - 3 dirhams. But keep in mind that buses are often packed to capacity.

A petit taxi (small taxi) will take you depending on the distance for 10-20 dirhams. No more than three people can sit in the car. You can ask to turn on the meter, or you can agree on the price in advance.

Grand taxis (old Mercedes) carry up to 6 passengers. The journey will cost about 6 dirhams.

Having walked the length and breadth of Casablanca, you can move on. From the already familiar Casa Voyageur station, we take a train to the small resort town of Asila, which is located almost in the very north-west of the country on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean. It is better to take a ticket in first class; if you take a second class ticket, you risk being left without a seat and spending five and a half hours in a stuffy carriage, either standing on your feet or sitting in the vestibule or even the toilet of a carriage with a density of four to five people per square meter. The price of a 1st class ticket is 164 dirhams.

By the way, here is the website of the Moroccan railways, where you can see all the routes, schedules and ticket prices.

Asil has a wide choice of places where you can stay inexpensively. You can even find nameless hostel hotels, where accommodation will cost 40 dirhams per person.

Asila is not just a classic resort town where you will find everything you need for a relaxing beach holiday, it is also a very beautiful place, famous for its charming medina. And in addition to all this, there is also a large selection of seafood in local restaurants.

If you wish, you can go from Asila to neighboring Larash. This city is picturesquely located on the rocks near the ocean. It is primarily known for its ancient Roman ruins, which are located near the city on a small hill. You can get to Larash from Asila by regular minibuses for 15 dirhams. Departure from Asila bus station, which is located in the east of the city. To get directly to the ruins, you need to ask the driver in advance to drop you off at the ruins, before reaching the city. Travel time is about an hour. After walking for some time in Larache, we return by minibus to Asila.

From Asila, again by minibus for the same 15 dirhams, we go to Tangier, once a city of international status, an interzone and an attractive place for European and American writers and artists, marginalized people and outsiders.

Now the city is not what it used to be, so there is no point in staying here. At the bus station we buy a ticket to Chefchaouen for 50-60 dirhams and after a 2-3 hour ride along mountain roads we are in one of the most famous and beautiful cities in Morocco.

Chefchaouen is one of the most attractive cities in Morocco. For many centuries, foreigners were not allowed here, as the place was considered sacred. Times have changed - now everything is the other way around here, an endless stream of tourists. Therefore, be prepared that every minute your peace on the city streets will be disturbed by pestering helpers, each with their own offer: a hotel, a restaurant, a cafe, hashish.

Speaking of the latter, Chefchaouen is located in the Rif Mountains, which are famous for their hemp plantations. Therefore, almost everyone you meet offers hashish, and local residents smoke it while sitting on the street.

The beauty of Chefchaouen is due to two things: firstly, its picturesque location in the Rif Mountains, and secondly, the medina is colorfully painted in various shades of blue. The best time to walk through the winding streets of the medina is early in the morning - you will not get such pleasure at any other time. In the morning there are no traders, no annoying helpers, no countless tourists with their cameras.

If you wish, you can do trekking - from short walks to multi-day hikes. There are even small waterfalls, mountain lakes and rivers in the mountains north of Chefchaouen.

Marrakesh

From Chefchaouen we go to Tetouan (25 dirhams) to change there to another bus and go to Marrakesh (225 dirhams from STM). The road will be long - almost 10 hours of travel with two stops for lunch.

The Marrakech bus station is located right outside the walls of the medina. It is better to settle in the medina, preferably closer to the main square of Jama El Fna. This will make it easier not to get lost, because the streets of the old city are a real labyrinth. A night in a budget hotel will cost 100-180 dirhams for a double room.

Marrakesh is the most popular city in Morocco for tourists, so be prepared for the same problem as in Chefchaouen: importunity and the desire to extract money from you in any way.

When visiting Marrakech, it is worth devoting a couple of days to a trip to the nearby Atlas Mountains. You can even climb to the top of the highest mountain in North Africa - Jebel Toubkal (4064 meters). Any healthy person can do this, since the climb is very simple and does not require any special training. To do this, you need to use a grand taxi, which from Marrakech will take you to the mountain village of Imlil, where the ascent begins. After conquering the peak we return back to Marrakech.

Ouarzazate

From Marrakech our route lies to Ouarzazate. The city is known as Africa's Hollywood because many films have been filmed here, from Lawrence of Arabia to Gladiator. A CTM bus ticket costs 80 dirhams, other carriers cost about 60-70. Travel time is four and a half hours.

The road between Marrakesh and Ouarzazate passes through the Atlas Mountains and is considered one of the most scenic in the world. It is here, on the southeastern side of the Atlas Mountains, that the Sahara Desert begins.

The main attraction of Ouarzazate is the ksar (clay fortress) of Ait Benhaddou, located 30 kilometers from the city. It is considered the most beautiful in Morocco. To get there, you should use the services of a grand taxi.

From Ouarzazate we go east to the small town of Tangir (ticket price - 70 dirhams). There is nothing to do or see in the town itself. But next to it there is a magnificent oasis, and a little further - the Todra Gorge. A fantastic place with incredibly high (up to 300 meters!) sheer cliffs. Here you can go mountaineering, or you can just enjoy the scenery. There are many hotels and restaurants in the gorge, so you can stay right here.

Fum-Zgid and Erg Shigaga

From Tangir we return to Ouarzazate, where we change to another bus going to Foum Zguid. A ticket for the latter will cost 60-70 dirhams.

Foum Zguid is a small village in the south of Morocco, near the border with Algeria. It is attractive because from here you can go to the sand dunes of Erg Shigaga. To do this, you will need to look for people who carry out these trips to the dunes and arrange an excursion. Alas, this is the only way (unless, of course, you have your own SUV). Typically, in the dunes, people spend the night in a small Tuareg settlement, watch the sunset and sunrise, and return back to Foum Zgid during the day.

Choosing a further path

In Fum Zgid we take the morning 9-hour passing bus and go to Guelmim (the ticket costs about 90-100 dirhams). The journey is long, so it is better to leave at 9 o’clock in the morning. The bus will arrive in Guelmim in the afternoon. And here you have to make an important choice about your future route.

The most desperate may move south to the unrecognized Western Sahara, which is actually controlled by the Moroccan government. Western Sahara is more than a thousand kilometers of monotonous desert landscapes. If you are ready for this, then welcome to Dakhla - a city located at the crossroads between the real Africa and Morocco.

There is basically nothing to see in the city, but here you can feel like you are on the very edge of the Earth. After all, on one side of you is an endless desert, stretching thousands of kilometers deep into the continent, and on the other, an even more endless Atlantic Ocean. It's definitely worth enduring a long bus ride for this. Dakhla is also known for its waves and is therefore a kind of mecca for surfers. The geographical location of Dakhla is also unusual: the city is located on a narrow peninsula stretching for 40 kilometers.

After exploring Dakhla, you will need to return to Guelmim along the same road.

There is no point in lingering in Guelmim, so we immediately take a grand taxi and head north to the port town of Sidi Ifni, located 60 kilometers from Guelmim.

Sidi Ifni is a place where you can finally truly relax after difficult trips through the desert. It has a great beach and a great selection of seafood.

And 15 kilometers to the north is the main pearl of these regions - known throughout the world for its amazing arches. This place is not to be missed. You can go there by grand taxi for 20-30 dirhams, depending on the agreement.

To get to Essaouira, you will first need to get to Tiznit (by CTM bus for 25 dirhams), and from there take a bus to Essaouira (80-100 dirhams).

In Essaouira you can relax even more than in Sidi Ifni. There is also an excellent beach, an abundance of seafood, as well as a large number of clubs, discos and even museums. Essaouira has an excellent medina, where it is best to stay (a decent room for two can be found for 100 dirhams). Another pride of Essaouira is its wonderful port, which is best visited early in the morning.

Finish

Essaouira will be the final point of the Moroccan journey. All key cities, places and attractions have been examined - now you can return back to Casablanca, and from there fly home.

A bus from Essaouira to Casa will cost about 100 dirhams. In Casablanca we take the train to the airport (40 dirhams) and arrive in Russia a few hours later.

This is our solo travel to Morocco will end. But there is no doubt that having completed this fantastic trip, you will want to repeat it again somehow. Believe me, bringing this amazing journey to life is not much more difficult than reading this text. Honestly. Just do it.

P.S.. If we could do it, so can you.

Tourism in the popular local resorts is quite developed. Minimal knowledge of foreign languages, especially Arabic and French, and respect for other people's traditions will not allow an independent traveler to fail. But to prevent your vacation from being spoiled by unexpected troubles, remember these 7 tips.

  1. Keep mostly small bills of local currency with you. Large merchants do not always have change - in this case, the price of the goods will increase especially for you.
  2. Don’t leave valuables unattended, watch your bags and pockets, politely refuse those asking for alms, and don’t stop walking by. In areas with large concentrations of tourists, there are quite a lot of pickpockets and scammers. Even if they offer you the necessary services like accommodation or transfer, ignore them. If persistently pursued, threaten with the police.
  3. Morocco is a predominantly Muslim country. Despite the fact that in resort areas morals are secular, away from them and in areas near shrines, religious rules should be respected. When visiting such places, do not wear too revealing clothes, during Ramadan, refrain from eating and drinking in public during the day, and do not hug in public.
  4. Do not take photographs or videotape police and military personnel.
  5. In the state, it is customary to leave tips for everyone: from security guards in the parking lot to guides on excursions. They give the money personally into the hands of the person who served.
  6. Bargain with confidence if you are not in a supermarket. Most street vendors are used to profiting from foreigners. Prices for goods are often taken, as they say, out of thin air. Trying to leave without purchasing and other tricks can usually lead to significant savings.
  7. If you have the opportunity to decide on such an adventure, do not book a hotel in advance. Only well-promoted, expensive establishments allow you to book a room online. Drive to the Medina and visit the tiny, inconspicuous hotels - you'll probably find a cheap room in one of them. In hotels, by the way, you can also bargain.

Watch a video dedicated to must-see places and typical phenomena of the state. The author shares another way to get into the country, cheap transport and a secret beach.

Flying to Morocco from Moscow is not cheap and takes quite a long time, but it is worth it. The country will greet you with its unique architecture, interesting oriental cuisine and traditional markets. In addition, there are simply a lot of options for spending a vacation here. The variety of landscapes will satisfy the needs of lovers of lazy lying on the beach, swimming in the ocean waters, active entertainment, excursions, walks through the desert and bright orange groves, and even lovers of ski holidays.

Vacationing in warm countries is a good way to change your surroundings and get new experiences. Morocco is on the list of popular resorts among Russians. However, the main problem of getting here is the road, because a flight is the only optimal option to get from Russia to the warm shore. Therefore, we will consider the nuances of such a trip, clarify the flight time and the cost of air travel from the capital.

The country offers tourists several airports. The main landing sites accept flights from the cities of Casablanca, Agadir and Rabat. Air harbors near the settlements of Nador, Dakhla, Essaouira and Ouarzazate also operate. Although the main destination for Russian tourists has become the Agadir air terminal. Until recently, there was regular service here during the peak of the “high” season, but today you can fly on a direct flight on Monday, Wednesday or Friday. Muscovites will find this route in the schedule of Moroccan airlines.

As for the location of the runway complex, the airport of the favorite resort of Russians lies 25 kilometers from the city and offers travelers modern, high-quality service. Here you will be able to visit numerous shops, cafeterias or coffee shops, and spend time with children in special play areas. In addition, a VIP room for business negotiations and a medical center are available here. Tourists who arrive at this airport can easily exchange currency or rent a car to travel independently around the country.

Today, it will be possible to fly to Morocco on the weekend only with a transfer, since there are no regular direct flights on the schedule for these days. However, a direct weekday flight to Agadir with Moroccan Airlines takes seven hours and fifty-five minutes. Moreover, passengers consider the flight to Casablanca the shortest, since it is only six hours.

Having answered the question of how long it is to fly to Morocco from Moscow on a direct flight, let’s consider the main aspects of the trip. After all, new realities require choosing a route based on the number of connections, which will significantly increase the time spent in the air. Therefore, we will determine which airlines offer services in this direction and the time interval with the price of the trip.

Deciding on a carrier

To choose specific airlines, it is important for a tourist to decide on the direction of the flight and take into account the conditions for forming the pricing policy. Among Russian air carriers, flights to Casablanca are carried out “ Aeroflot», « Russia», « S7" and charter company " globe" In addition, it will be possible to fly to the main airport of Morocco with representatives of European airlines. In this list " Air France», « Alitalia», « British Airways», « Brussels Airlines», « Etihad Airways», « Iberia», « KLM», « Lufthansa», « Transavia», « Swiss" Companies also fly in this direction " Turkish Airlines», « Emirates", « Saudi" and a representative of the receiving state - " Royal Air Maroc».

If we talk about flights to Agadir, there are slightly fewer airlines that offer services to customers. Among Russian airlines, flights to this city are organized by the only company - “ Aeroflot" In addition, representatives of Moroccan airlines and Turks fly here. Although among European carriers “Air Berlin” offers routes in this direction, “ Air France», « Alitalia», « Brussels Airlines», « Iberia», « KLM" And " Swiss».

Routes to both points generally involve passengers choosing between one or two connections. Moreover, this factor affects both the duration of the flight and the aspects of the high cost of travel.

Today, the cost of a flight to Agadir with two connections starts from 19,975 rubles. The maximum price here is already 175,038 rubles. Moreover, low-cost flights are carried out by Iberia, and the most expensive flight will be with Royal Air Maroc.. A trip to Casablanca will cost Muscovites 15,469–161,221 rubles. Here the minimum cost for a road with one transfer is “ Iberia", and the most expensive travel option is the company " S7» for a route with two connections.

Save time on the road

Let's consider the specific parameters of a direct flight Moscow-Morocco. The flight time here is determined by the specific destination, and transportation of this kind is offered by the only company - “ Royal Air Maroc" Moreover, flights operate on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays to the airports of Casablanca and Agadir.

Moreover, the price of a trip here is affordable - air tickets start from 17,087 rubles. The only drawback here is the small number of flights with a large number of potential travelers.

Let's figure out how long it takes to fly directly to Agadir from Moscow. Here passengers use the services of the same Moroccan airlines on a schedule similar to Casablanca. In addition, the flight in this direction departs from Sheremetyevo at 11.05, but arrives at the resort only at 16.00. That is, the trip will last 7 hours 55 minutes.

If we take into account travel prices, the cost of traveling here is lower than the road to Casablanca. The minimum price of an air ticket here is 16,9494 rubles. Moreover, the ticket price assumes free entry with a weight of up to 23 kilograms. Unfortunately, there are no other travel options today, so travelers have no choice here. Although some vacationers consider traveling with transfers if they were unable to book a seat for the desired date on a ship that follows a direct route or.

Traveling by transfer to Casablanca

Now let’s clarify what a connecting flight to Morocco is. How many hours it will take to travel to the main airports of the country with one transfer depends on the specific airlines. This same indicator determines the cost of travel. Therefore, tourists have to choose the optimal route based on personal financial capabilities and desires.

If a traveler intends to fly to Casablanca with one connection, the minimum flight time here suggests " Royal Air Maroc» . The airline guarantees that the duration of the trip here will be 7 hours 35 minutes. However, the fare of 87,981 rubles will make Muscovites think about the feasibility of this choice. Considering that the Air France flight lasts 7 hours 45 minutes and costs only 22,643 rubles, most tourists prefer this option.

A flight to Casablanca involves connections in Milan, Paris, and Geneva. In addition, carriers also allow connections in Barcelona, ​​Brussels, Rome, Malaga, Istanbul, Frankfurt am Main and other European centers. Moreover, the duration of the transfer when choosing a specific route will allow travelers to have a wonderful time on the way to the main resort.

Passengers will find the longest route possible with French airlines. Here the journey is extended to 31 hours and 5 minutes, and the connection time in Paris is 24 hours. If we talk about the price range of travel, the cost of travel here will cost 15,44–125,098 rubles. You can find a budget flight at " Iberia", and the most expensive flight is offered by the airline " Air France" Moreover, in the first case the journey will take 30 hours 50 minutes, and in the second – 15 hours.

Planning your trip early will help you save money on flights and choose a convenient route.

Many travelers are interested in how long it is to fly to Morocco from Moscow, because this destination is in demand among Russians who love exotic holidays. And someone goes to this hot country on business. Both pay attention to the flight time.

Every major city in Morocco has an airport capable of receiving passenger aircraft. There are three types of flights that travelers from Moscow can use:

  • straight;
  • with transfer;
  • charter.

How long does it take to fly to Morocco on a direct flight?

The answer to this question is clear, because without a transfer you can only get to Casablanca. Flight time is 6–7 hours. Some flights land for refueling in Munich, in which case the flight will take about 8 o'clock.

Flight with a transfer

For those who wish to arrive in another city in Morocco or cannot take a direct flight, an alternative is to fly with a transfer at one of the European airports. However, travel time may not change significantly, amounting to 9–10 hours, and can increase to a day. It all depends on the chosen route!

Charter flights

This method is most relevant during the tourist season in Morocco, that is, from April to October. In the air, charter passengers to various airports in the African country will spend from 6 to 8 hours.

The exact figure for how long to fly to Morocco from Moscow depends on the chosen flight, airline and the availability of transfers. You also need to remember that the flight time is often affected by weather conditions.

Morocco is a beautiful country located in the northern part of the Sahara Desert. Tourists here are attracted by the mild climate, exoticism and traditions that remain unchanged for many centuries.

  • Capital – Rabat. The national currency is the dirham.

In Russia, this country is not among the popular tourist destinations. Resorts in Morocco are considered fashionable and mostly wealthy tourists vacation there.

How to get to Morocco

This state is located far from Russia, so the fastest and most comfortable way to get there is by plane.

How long does it take to fly to Morocco? It depends on whether the flight is direct or with transfers.

How long does it take to fly to Morocco from Moscow on a direct flight? If you go to Casablanca, you can cover it in 6-6.5 hours. If tourists need to get to the resort of Agadir, the travel time will be approximately 7 hours.

However, in this case it is difficult to plan a trip, since only charter flights fly there and not often. This type of flight can be provided by airlines only during the tourist season, when the demand for trips is increased.

Flight Moscow-Casablanca with transfers

If you fly through Rome, Italy, the air journey can last approximately 9.5 hours. The transfer and wait in Brussels will take about 3 hours, the total flight time will be 7.5 hours. The flight via Abu Dhabi will take passengers 19.5 hours of total time. The journey through Berlin will last 13.5 hours, and through Madrid and Barcelona – 22.5 hours.

Flight Moscow-Agadir

In addition to Casablanca, travelers can choose the resort of Agadir. It is located a little further from Moscow, but this does not greatly affect the flight time. If you fly through Paris or Marseille, the air travel can last from 11 to 22 hours. Travel time through Casablanca is about 9 hours. It will be possible to fly through Madrid in 16 hours, and through Munich in 12 hours.
