Schiphol, Rotterdam or Eindhoven?

Schiphol has the most flights, but Transavia also flies to Morocco from Rotterdam and Eindhoven, and low-cost airlines such as Ryanair serve Eindhoven. If you live in the south of the country, compare these first. Belgian airports such as Charleroi are another option for some travellers.

Cheapest time to fly

Dutch school holidays have a big effect, and they differ by region (north, middle and south), so the cheapest week can depend on where you live. Outside holidays, January, early February, May and late November are usually good value. July and August are busy with holidaymakers and families visiting Morocco.

Tips to pay less

  • Compare Dutch airports, and Belgian ones if they are close to you.
  • Avoid the first weekend of school holidays in your region.
  • Travel light on low-cost fares.
  • Book three to six months ahead for holiday periods.

Belgium has strong links with Morocco, so there are plenty of flights from Brussels to Marrakech all year. The big decision is which airport to use: Brussels Airport (Zaventem) or Brussels South Charleroi. Compare live prices for both below.

Zaventem or Charleroi?

Brussels Airport (BRU)

Close to the city with a fast train connection. Full-service and holiday airlines fly from here, and fares that include a checked bag can be good value for families.

Charleroi (CRL)

About 45 km south of Brussels and a base for low-cost airlines, especially Ryanair. Fares are often the lowest, but add the shuttle bus or train and the extra travel time before you decide.

Tip: search both by changing the origin in the search box to BRU and then CRL.

Cheapest time to fly

Belgian school holidays push prices up most, especially the autumn holiday, Christmas, the spring holiday around Easter and July and August, when many families visit relatives in Morocco. Mid-January to early February, May, June before the holidays and late November are often better value.

Tips to pay less

  • Compare both airports with the same dates.
  • Book early for summer: four to six months ahead for July and August.
  • Fly midweek when possible.
  • Check the total cost with bags and transport to the airport included.

Marrakech Travel Guide: How to Get There Cheaply and Make the Most of It

Marrakech is Morocco’s most visited city: a maze of souks, palaces and gardens with the Atlas Mountains on the horizon. This guide focuses on the practical side: getting there for less, getting around, and spending your money on what matters.

Getting to Marrakech

By plane

Marrakech Menara Airport (RAK) has direct flights from many cities in Europe, including London, Paris, Dublin, Manchester, Madrid, Brussels and Amsterdam. Our route guides explain the cheapest ways to book:

By train

If you are already in Morocco, trains link Marrakech with Casablanca, Rabat, Fes and Tangier. From Tangier, the high-speed Al Boraq train runs to Casablanca, where you change for Marrakech.

By bus

CTM and Supratours run comfortable coaches to Marrakech from most Moroccan cities, including Essaouira, Agadir and Fes.

From the airport to the city

The airport is only a short drive from the Medina. You can take a taxi (agree the price before you get in), the airport bus to Jemaa el-Fnaa square, or a pre-booked airport transfer. Cars cannot enter most Medina lanes, so drivers often stop at the nearest gate and someone from your riad walks you the rest of the way.

Where to stay

AreaBest for
MedinaTraditional riads, atmosphere, walking to the main sights
GuelizModern cafes and restaurants, easier taxis
HivernageLarge hotels, pools, nightlife
PalmeraieResorts and villas, peace and quiet

Budget tips

  • Agree taxi prices first, or ask for the meter in a petit taxi.
  • Eat where locals eat: the food stalls on Jemaa el-Fnaa in the evening and small restaurants in the Medina are very affordable.
  • Book popular sights online: tickets for places like the Jardin Majorelle can sell out at busy times.
  • Haggle politely in the souks. Start well below the first price and walk away if it does not feel right.
  • Carry small notes and coins in dirhams for tips and small purchases.

The best day trips from Marrakech

  • Atlas Mountains and Imlil: mountain villages and easy hikes, about 1 h 30 min away.
  • Ourika Valley: rivers, waterfalls and Berber villages.
  • Agafay Desert: stony desert landscapes under an hour from the city, popular for sunset dinners and camel rides.
  • Essaouira: a relaxed Atlantic port town about 3 hours away.
  • Ouzoud Waterfalls: some of the highest waterfalls in North Africa.

You can compare and book guided tours and day trips online.

Before you go

  • Money: the Moroccan dirham (MAD) is a closed currency, so get it on arrival from an ATM or exchange office.
  • Mobile data: a Morocco eSIM gets you online as soon as you land.
  • Insurance: get travel insurance that covers medical costs.
  • Dress: light, modest clothing is comfortable and respectful, especially in the Medina.

Frequently asked questions

How many days do you need in Marrakech?

Three to four days is enough to see the main sights and take one day trip.

When is the best time to visit Marrakech?

March to May and October to November offer warm days without the extreme summer heat.

Low-Cost Airlines Flying to Morocco: Who Flies Where, and How to Avoid Extra Fees

Morocco is one of the best-connected destinations for budget airlines in Europe. Dozens of cities have direct low-cost flights to Marrakech, Agadir, Tangier, Fes, Nador and more. Here is who flies where, and how to stop extra fees from eating your savings.

The main low-cost airlines serving Morocco

AirlineMain marketsMoroccan airports often served
RyanairUK, Ireland, Spain, France, Italy, Belgium, Germany and moreMarrakech, Agadir, Fes, Tangier, Nador, Essaouira, Rabat and others
easyJetUK, France, Switzerland and othersMarrakech, Agadir and others

VuelingSpainTangier, Marrakech, Nador and others
Air ArabiaMorocco, Europe and the Middle EastCasablanca, Tangier, Fes, Agadir and others
TUI flyBelgium, the Netherlands, Germany, UKAgadir, Marrakech, Nador and others

Networks change every season. Use the search to see which airlines fly from your city right now.

Full-service airlines such as Royal Air Maroc, Air France, Iberia and British Airways also fly to Morocco and sometimes match low-cost prices once a bag is included.

How to avoid extra fees

  • Know what is included. The cheapest fare usually includes only a small under-seat bag. A larger cabin bag or checked bag costs extra.
  • Add bags when you book. Bags are usually much cheaper online in advance than at the airport.
  • Check in online before the deadline. Some airlines charge a lot for airport check-in.
  • Skip seat selection if you do not mind where you sit.
  • Measure your bag. Oversized cabin bags are charged at the gate.

Is low-cost always cheaper?

Not always. Compare the total price for your trip: fare, bags, seats and transport to the airport. A full-service ticket that includes a checked bag can be cheaper than a low-cost fare with extras added, especially for families.

Compare low-cost and full-service airlines in one search.

Frequently asked questions

Which low-cost airline has the most flights to Morocco?

Ryanair has one of the largest networks to Morocco, with flights from many European countries.

Can I fly between Moroccan cities cheaply?

Yes. Royal Air Maroc and some low-cost airlines offer domestic flights, and trains are a good alternative between major cities.

Best Time to Book Flights to Morocco, and the Cheapest Times to Fly

The price of a flight to Morocco depends on two things: when you fly and how far ahead you book. Get both right and you can often pay far less than other passengers on the same plane. Here is a simple guide.

How far ahead should you book?

TripBook this far aheadWhy
Short-haul from Europe, quiet months1 to 3 monthsPlenty of seats and frequent sales
Short-haul from Europe, school holidays3 to 6 monthsCheap seats sell out early
July and August from Europe4 to 6 monthsPeak season for holidaymakers and families visiting relatives
Long-haul, for example from North America2 to 5 monthsFewer flights, so prices rise as seats fill

These are guidelines, not rules. Fares go up and down every day, so the best tactic is to start watching early and book when a price fits your budget.

The cheapest months to fly to Morocco

  • Usually cheapest: January (after New Year), early February, late November and early December.
  • Good value with great weather: May, late September and October outside school holidays.
  • Usually most expensive: Easter, Christmas and New Year, school half-terms, and July and August.

Ramadan and Eid

Around Eid, many people travel to celebrate with family, and flights to Morocco from Europe can become busy and expensive. Islamic holidays follow the lunar calendar and move about 11 days earlier each year. In 2027, Ramadan is expected to start in early February and end with Eid al-Fitr in early March, and Eid al-Adha is expected in mid-May. Exact dates depend on the sighting of the moon, so check closer to the time.

Travelling during Ramadan itself can be a great experience, with lively evenings after sunset, but some cafes and restaurants keep different hours during the day.

The cheapest days to fly

Tuesdays and Wednesdays are often cheaper than Fridays and Sundays, because fewer people travel for weekends. A flexible-date search shows you the cheapest days at a glance.

Search tips that really work

  • Search by city, not airport: use codes like LON, PAR or NYC to compare every airport at once.
  • Compare nearby Moroccan airports: Marrakech, Agadir, Essaouira, Casablanca, Fes and Tangier are all well connected.
  • Count the extras: bags and seats can double a low-cost fare.
  • Set a price alert and book when the fare drops.

Find the cheapest dates for your trip with a flexible search.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest month to fly to Morocco?

January and late November are usually among the cheapest, as long as you avoid school holidays.

Is it cheaper to book flights to Morocco last minute?

Rarely. Low-cost airlines usually raise prices as the plane fills, especially in busy periods.

Ferry from Spain to Morocco: Every Route Compared, With Tips for Summer

by
Ferry crossing the Strait of Gibraltar

Some links on this page are affiliate links. If you buy through them we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. It helps keep this site free.

Crossing from Spain to Morocco by ferry is the classic way to arrive, and the only practical option if you are taking your own car. The shortest crossing takes about an hour. This guide compares the main routes so you can pick the right port, and explains how to avoid the worst of the summer queues.

The main ferry routes from Spain to Morocco

RouteTypical crossing timeGood to know
Tarifa to Tangier VilleAbout 1 hArrives in the centre of Tangier, ideal for foot passengers
Algeciras to Tanger MedAbout 1 h 30 minThe busiest route for cars. Tanger Med port is about 40 km east of Tangier
Algeciras to CeutaAbout 1 hCeuta is a Spanish city. You then cross the land border into Morocco
Malaga to MelillaAbout 6 to 8 hMelilla is a Spanish city next to Nador
Almeria to NadorAbout 6 to 8 hPopular with families heading to the east of Morocco
Motril to Tanger Med or Al HoceimaSeveral hoursUseful from Granada and the east of Andalusia

Crossing times and timetables vary by operator, ship and season. Always check the latest timetable before travelling.

Companies that operate on these routes include FRS, Balearia, Naviera Armas Trasmediterranea and AML, among others.

Which route should you choose?

  • On foot, visiting Tangier: Tarifa to Tangier Ville. Short crossing, and you arrive right in the city.
  • With a car, heading anywhere in Morocco: Algeciras to Tanger Med has the most departures and connects straight to the motorway.
  • Going to Nador, Oujda or the east: Almeria to Nador, or Malaga to Melilla, saves a long drive across northern Morocco.

Travelling in summer: the Marhaba period

Every summer, hundreds of thousands of Moroccans living in Europe drive home for the holidays. The busiest weeks are usually from mid-July to mid-August, with the return peak at the end of August. During this time:

  • Book early, especially for cars and on weekends.
  • Arrive at the port with plenty of time, and expect long queues at border and customs checks.
  • Carry the right documents: passports, car registration, your driving licence and valid insurance for Morocco.
  • Bring water and food for waiting time in the heat.

Is flying cheaper?

If you are not taking a car, often yes. A short flight from Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga or Seville to Tangier, Nador or Fes can be cheaper and faster than travelling down to the port and crossing. Compare below.

Not taking a car? Compare flights to northern Morocco before you book the ferry.

Frequently asked questions

What is the shortest ferry crossing from Spain to Morocco?

Tarifa to Tangier Ville and Algeciras to Ceuta both take around one hour.

Can I take my car on the ferry to Morocco?

Yes. Most routes carry cars. You need the car registration documents and insurance valid in Morocco, which you can often buy at the border if your policy does not cover it.

Where do passport checks happen?

It depends on the route. On some crossings Moroccan police stamp passports on board, on others the check is at the port. Follow the crew instructions.

One-stop optionsVia Paris, Madrid, Lisbon, Istanbul, Frankfurt and other hubs

Schedules change by season. Confirm the current options in the search results.

Nonstop or one stop?

The nonstop Royal Air Maroc flight is the fastest way and often well priced, especially if you book early. One-stop flights with European airlines can be cheaper on some dates and let you add a stopover in a European city. If you are heading on to Marrakech, Fes or Agadir, compare a ticket all the way to your final city, since a single ticket protects you if a connection is missed.

Cheapest time to fly

  • Usually cheaper: January to early March, and November (avoiding Thanksgiving week).
  • Usually more expensive: June to August, Christmas and New Year, and the weeks around Eid when many families travel.

Transatlantic fares reward planning: start looking two to five months ahead, and earlier for summer.

Tips to save on transatlantic tickets

  • Search all New York airports with the NYC code.
  • Compare open-jaw trips, for example flying into Casablanca and home from Marrakech.
  • Watch baggage rules. Some basic economy fares on connecting airlines do not include a checked bag.
  • Use flexible dates. Moving your trip by a day or two can change the price a lot.

From the airport to Casablanca

A train runs from the airport station to the city, including Casa Voyageurs station where you can connect to trains for Marrakech, Rabat, Fes and Tangier. Taxis and pre-booked transfers are also available outside arrivals.

Do US citizens need a visa for Morocco?
