About Morocco for visitors

Morocco is North Africa's gateway—medinas of Fez and Marrakech, the blue city of Chefchaouen, and the Sahara Desert beckon from across the Strait of Gibraltar. Travelers immerse themselves in Amazigh culture, tagine cuisine, and landscapes ranging from coastal beaches to High Atlas mountains.

Marrakech Menara (RAK) and Casablanca Mohammed V (CMN) are the busiest hubs, with regional airports in Fez and Agadir. Immigration is quick and straightforward; English is common among staff in major terminals, and connections to riads or desert camps are simple to arrange.
