Travel to Morocco, General Information
314 Views | Page filed under: Morocco
Morocco is a fascinating country. You’ll be amazed how diverse it can get and how incredibly safe it is. Morocco stands, nowadays, for one of the most promising tourist destinations in the world. Moroccan government is quite open to the west and its people are well known for their sympathy and practice religion in a smoother way than in many other Muslim countries. It seems religion, to Moroccans, is not even an issue and usually only comes up in conversation when westerners actually speak about it.
Morocco is located in Northern Africa and its borders Algeria and Mauritania. One of the most interesting facts about Morocco is that it is the African country closest to the European continent. The two are separated by the Gibraltar Strait and are only a distance of 14 km (8.6 miles) from the areas near Algeciras and Tarifa. From Spain you can look and see Africa. Traveling to Morocco from Europe is very easy.

Major airlines fly to Morocco and already several low budget air lines fly to Marrakesh airport: Vueling ( from Spain ), Easy Jet ( from England ) and Atlas Blue ( from France and Germany ).
In Morocco you have several International airports: Casablanca, Tangier, Rabat, Marrakesh, Fez, Agadir and Ouarzazate. Most of them fly to destinations such as England, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Holland, Italy, etc. If you’re flying from outside Europe we might advice you to switch flights in order to get a best deal as usually direct flights from outside Europe to Morocco are more expensive than a flight change.
Easy Jet – Flies out of cities like London, Paris, Madrid and Barcelona to Marrakech. Price ranges from 50 Euros to 200 Euros per flight round-trip ticket. Price depends of season and available seats. Booking in advance usually gets you the best deals.
