Getting here
Direct flights operate from several US cities to Casablanca (CMN), with connections onward to Marrakech (RAK), Fes (FEZ) and Tangier (TNG). Many guests also route through Europe.
We plan your first and last day around your flight times, including late-night arrivals, and always include a private airport welcome.
Entry requirements
US citizens traveling for tourism generally do not need a visa for short stays, and passports should have sufficient validity remaining. Requirements can change, so please confirm the current rules with the U.S. Department of State and Moroccan authorities before you travel — we will also flag anything we are aware of.
Money
The currency is the Moroccan dirham (MAD), a closed currency you obtain after arrival. ATMs are common in cities; cards work in hotels and larger restaurants; markets, taxis and small cafés are cash.
We quote and invoice in US dollars so you always know what your journey costs.
Tipping
Tipping is customary and appreciated but not aggressive. As a general guide: a few dirhams for small services, roughly $5–$10 per day for a guide and similar for a driver, adjusted for group size and service. We include a clear tipping note in your final documents.
Phones and connectivity
Wi-Fi is normal in riads and hotels. A local SIM or eSIM is inexpensive and gives reliable coverage in cities and on main roads; coverage thins in the mountains and deep desert. Your driver always has a phone and our team's numbers.
Health and insurance
Check recommended vaccinations with your physician or the CDC before travel. Bring prescription medication in original packaging with a copy of the prescription.
We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance covering cancellation, medical care and emergency evacuation. We do not sell insurance and receive no commission on it.
Safety, honestly stated
Morocco receives millions of visitors a year and most trips are uneventful. Petty theft and persistent vendors in busy medinas are the most common annoyances; your guide and driver reduce both considerably.
We do not make safety guarantees. What we do is control the parts we can: vetted partners, professional drivers, sensible routes, accommodations we know, and someone reachable at any hour of your journey. Please also review the current U.S. Department of State travel advisory for Morocco.
Dates, units and accessibility
We write dates in American format (month/day/year) and distances in miles alongside kilometers in your itinerary.
Medinas involve uneven ground, steps and narrow lanes. Tell us about mobility, hearing, vision or other access needs and we will plan realistic routes, suitable vehicles and accommodations that work — or tell you honestly where something is not workable.
This page is general guidance from our team, not legal, medical or insurance advice, and requirements change. Always confirm current rules with official US and Moroccan sources before traveling.
