Agadir is Morocco’s best-known beach resort and a favourite winter-sun destination from the north of England. Daytime temperatures often sit around 20 degrees even in January, the beach is long and sandy, and direct flights from Manchester take around four hours. Compare live prices below.

Some routes run only in winter or summer. Check the current schedule in the search results.

Flight only or package holiday?

Agadir is a big package-holiday destination, so compare both. A flight-only ticket plus a hotel or apartment you choose yourself is often cheaper outside school holidays and gives you more freedom. A package with flights, hotel and transfer can be better value in peak weeks and gives you extra protection if something goes wrong.

When to go for sun and low prices

• November to March: mild and sunny, the classic winter-sun season. Avoid Christmas, New Year and February half-term if price matters most.
• April to June: warm, fewer families, often good value.
• July and August: hot and busy with school holidays, so fares are at their highest.
• September and October: still warm sea and good weather, with prices dropping after the summer holidays (except the October half-term).

Money-saving tips

• Be flexible with days. Some airlines fly the route only a few times a week, so the cheapest day can be very different from the next one.
• Book early for half-term. Seats on popular dates sell fast.
• Take hand luggage only for short trips.
• Compare Manchester with Liverpool and Leeds Bradford if you can get to them easily. Try changing the origin in the search box.

Getting from Agadir airport to the beach

Al Massira airport is outside the city, so plan for a 30 to 40 minute ride to the seafront. Grand taxis wait outside arrivals (agree the fare first), or you can pre-book a private transfer so a driver meets you with a name sign. Many hotels also offer transfers.

Book the rest of your Morocco trip

• Airport transfer: a pre-booked driver waits at arrivals, useful after a late landing because you don’t have to haggle with taxis.
• Morocco eSIM: mobile data from the moment you land, without queuing at a SIM shop.
• Tours and day trips: mountains, desert, food tours and more.
• Travel insurance: cover for medical costs and trip cancellation.

Paris has more flights to Marrakech than almost any other city in Europe, so low-cost and full-service airlines compete hard on price. Paris also has three airports, and the cheapest ticket is not always the cheapest trip. Compare live prices below, then use this guide to pick the right airport.

Paris to Marrakech at a glance

Routes and airlines change by season. Confirm the current options in the search results.

Orly, CDG or Beauvais: which is best?

Orly (ORY)

Orly is the closest airport to central Paris and a hub for Transavia, one of the busiest airlines on this route. It is often the best balance of price and convenience.

Charles de Gaulle (CDG)

CDG has flights from both low-cost and traditional airlines. It is handy if you live in the north of Paris or are connecting from another flight.

Beauvais (BVA)

Beauvais is used by Ryanair and can show the lowest fares. But it is around 85 km from Paris, so add the shuttle bus ticket and about 1 h 15 min of travel each way before you decide it is really cheaper.

Cheapest time to fly from Paris to Marrakech

French school holidays have the biggest effect on prices, especially the Toussaint holiday in autumn, Christmas, the February winter holidays (which vary by zone) and Easter. Outside those weeks, January, late November, early December and early June are often good value. July and August are busy with families visiting relatives in Morocco, so book early if you need to fly then.

Tips to get a cheaper ticket

• Search all Paris airports at once with the PAR code, as the search box above does.
• Count the full cost: bags, seat selection and airport transport can turn a cheap fare into an expensive one.
• Fly on Tuesday or Wednesday when possible.
• Avoid the first day of school holidays, when prices jump.
• Book three to six months ahead for summer and holiday periods.

Entry requirements

French and other EU citizens can usually visit Morocco for up to 90 days without a visa, with a passport valid for the whole stay. Always check the official advice before travelling, as rules can change.

Book the rest of your Morocco trip

• Airport transfer: a pre-booked driver waits at arrivals, useful after a late landing because you don’t have to haggle with taxis.
• Morocco eSIM: mobile data from the moment you land, without queuing at a SIM shop.
• Tours and day trips: Atlas Mountains, Agafay desert, cooking classes and more.
• Travel insurance: cover for medical costs and trip cancellation.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the flight from Paris to Marrakech?

Around 3 hours 10 minutes to 3 hours 30 minutes on a direct flight.

Which airline is cheapest from Paris to Marrakech?

It changes every day. Low-cost airlines such as Transavia, easyJet and Ryanair often have the lowest base fares, but full-service airlines can work out similar once you add a checked bag.

Is Beauvais really cheaper?

Sometimes. Add the cost and time of the shuttle bus before you decide.

Marrakech is one of the easiest winter-sun escapes from London: under four hours in the air, no time difference worth worrying about for most of the year, and plenty of direct flights from several London airports. Use the search below to compare live prices, then read on for the tricks that usually make the biggest difference to the fare.

London to Marrakech at a glance

Airlines and airports change their schedules every season. Always confirm the current route in the search results before you book.

Which London airport is cheapest?

There is no single winner. Stansted and Luton often have the lowest headline fares because they are served by low-cost airlines, but remember to add the cost of getting to the airport and paying for bags. Gatwick has the widest choice of direct flights, and Heathrow can be competitive when British Airways runs a sale. The simplest approach is to search London (all airports), which is what the search box above does with the LON code.

When are flights to Marrakech cheapest?

Fares follow UK school holidays more than the weather in Morocco. As a rule of thumb:

• Usually cheapest: January after New Year, early February outside half-term, late November and early December.
• Mid-range: most of March, May and September, and summer weekdays.
• Most expensive: Easter, the February and October half-terms, Christmas and New Year, and the July and August school holidays.

Marrakech is very hot in July and August, often well above 35 degrees in the afternoon, so spring and autumn give you the best mix of weather and value.

7 ways to pay less

• Fly midweek. Tuesday and Wednesday departures are often cheaper than Friday or Sunday.
• Be flexible by a few days. A price calendar can show a big gap between neighbouring dates.
• Travel hand luggage only. On low-cost airlines a checked bag can cost almost as much as the seat.
• Book early for holidays. For school holidays, aim for three to six months ahead. For quiet months, one to three months ahead is usually fine.
• Compare one-way tickets. Flying out with one airline and back with another is sometimes cheaper.
• Check nearby dates for Ramadan and Eid. Demand from families visiting relatives can push prices up around these dates.
• Set a price alert and book when the fare drops into your budget.

Arriving at Marrakech Menara Airport

The airport is close to the city, usually 15 to 25 minutes by car to the Medina. You can take a taxi (agree the price before you get in), the airport bus that runs to Jemaa el-Fnaa square, or a pre-booked transfer, which many riads can arrange. If you land late at night or your riad is deep inside the Medina, a transfer with a driver who knows the way is worth it.

Do UK travellers need a visa?

British citizens can usually visit Morocco for up to 90 days without a visa. Your passport should be valid for the whole stay, and many travellers keep at least six months of validity to be safe. Entry rules can change, so check the latest advice on GOV.UK before you travel.

• Airport transfer: a pre-booked driver waits at arrivals, useful after a late landing because you don’t have to haggle with taxis.
• Morocco eSIM: mobile data from the moment you land, without queuing at a SIM shop.
• Tours and day trips: Atlas Mountains, Agafay desert, cooking classes and more.
• Travel insurance: cover for medical costs and trip cancellation.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the flight from London to Marrakech?

A direct flight takes around 3 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours 50 minutes, depending on the airport and the wind.

What is the cheapest month to fly from London to Marrakech?

January (after New Year) and late November are usually among the cheapest times, as long as you avoid half-term weeks.

Is there a time difference?

Morocco normally uses GMT+1, so for most of the year it is the same time as the UK or one hour ahead. During Ramadan Morocco switches back by one hour, so check the clock for your dates.
