The majority of holiday visitors to Morocco fly. Flights from the UK take approximately three hours. However, there are other ways to get there if you have a bit more time and would prefer a more scenic route! Trains through France and Spain are a relaxing way to get down to the ferries crossing the strait of Gibraltar (which now only takes 35 minutes).**
Driving times are generally 30 hours (non stop) from London to Marrakech. Best split over 3 nights in Paris, Madrid and the south of Spain but some do it quicker!
** Lawrence of Morocco is not able to make boat or train reservations for you.
Royal Air Maroc fly twice weekly from JFK to Casablanca. Coach, Business and First Class seats are available for your comfort. This is a terrific service and I have flown with Royal Air Maroc on this transatlantic flight on numerous occasions and have always been very impressed with the service.
We can book this flight for you and can also book connecting flights to Marrakech, Agadir, Fes and Ouarzazate. Alternatively, you may prefer to have your usual US agent book these flights for you. Not a problem as we can simply do the rest.
Thank you for a most enjoyable trip..
Dear Max and Denise.
Just a short note to thank you for a most enjoyable trip, we have enjoyed every moment. The hotels were brilliant. Branson's was our least favourite, too commercial and pompous the surroundings mountains made up for its lacking. The best of all, our driver Said, he made our whole trip a joy, we found him ...
