Find Cheap Flights to Morocco and Compare Prices for Your Next Trip

Colombian citizens traveling to Morocco for tourism do not need a visa for stays up to 90 days. Only a passport valid for at least six months after the date of entry is required. Make sure you have a return or onward ticket and proof of sufficient funds. Although a visa is not necessary, immigration officials may request these documents upon arrival. For longer stays or for other reasons, it is necessary to contact the Moroccan embassy. Always check the regulations before your trip, as requirements may change without notice. This exemption greatly facilitates your vacation planning, allowing you to focus on finding the best cheap flights to Morocco.

The train system (ONCF) is excellent for traveling between large cities like Casablanca, Marrakech, Tangier, and Fez; it is comfortable, safe, and punctual. For short distances or rural areas, CTM or Supratours buses are good options. Within cities, use small taxis ('petits taxis') for short trips or large taxis ('grands taxis') for intercity or shared trips. Always agree on the price before getting into a taxi or ask them to use the meter. Compared to Colombia, distances in Morocco are shorter, which facilitates land movement. Consider renting a car only if you plan to explore the desert or remote areas.

In Morocco, you have two main types of accommodation. Modern hotels offer standard amenities, especially in large cities. However, for an authentic experience, we recommend staying in a Riad. A Riad is a traditional Moroccan house with an interior courtyard or garden, often with a rooftop terrace. They are found in the old medinas of cities like Marrakech and Fez. They offer a peaceful atmosphere and very personal service. Prices vary widely, from budget to luxury options. Booking in advance, especially if you are looking for Morocco flight deals during high season, will ensure better rates. Compared to hotels in Colombia, Riads offer a unique cultural immersion.

Morocco is generally safe for tourists, but it is vital to be aware of your surroundings, especially in busy medinas. Pickpockets can be a problem, so keep your valuables secure. The most common scam is that of 'fake guides' who offer to take you somewhere, only to divert you to a shop or demand an excessive fee. Be firm and polite when refusing their services. Never accept help from strangers to find your Riad. Use maps or GPS and trust your accommodation owners for reliable directions. If you get lost, go into a shop and ask. Stay alert, just as you would in any large city in Colombia, and you will avoid problems.

Morocco is a Muslim country, so respect for customs is essential. Dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites; shoulders and knees should be covered. Ask permission before taking photos of people. Haggling is a fundamental part of shopping in the souks; do it with good humor and respect. Avoid eating or drinking in public during the month of Ramadan. Learning a few basic phrases in Arabic or French (like 'Shukran' for thank you) will be greatly appreciated by the locals. Showing respect for the culture will open doors for you and make your trip much more enjoyable. This respect is key to having a good experience as a tourist.

Moroccan food is rich in spices and flavors. You cannot leave without trying couscous, traditionally served on Fridays, and tagine, a slow-cooked stew with meat or vegetables. Mint tea is the national drink, a symbol of hospitality offered everywhere. Look for trusted street food stalls to try delicacies like pastilla (a sweet and savory meat pie) or dates. Compared to Colombian food, Moroccan food uses less chili but more aromatic spices like cumin and saffron. Eating in Jemaa el-Fna square in Marrakech is a mandatory experience, but choose stalls frequented by locals.

Morocco offers a wide variety of experiences: from the bustling medinas of Marrakech and Fez to the beaches of Essaouira and the dunes of the Sahara desert. For a first week-long trip, focus on the imperial route: Marrakech, Casablanca, and Fez. If you have more time, add Tangier or Chefchaouen. Plan your train transfers in advance, especially if you are looking for cheap flights to Tangier or Casablanca. Don't try to see too much; enjoy the slower pace of life in the medina. Remember that flights from Colombia to Morocco usually have at least one stopover, so consider the total travel time when planning your initial itinerary.

The climate in Morocco varies greatly. Summers are very hot, especially inland, so you will need light, breathable clothing. Winters can be cold, especially at night, so bring layers. Always include modest clothing to respect local customs. A scarf or shawl is useful for women. Don't forget a power adapter (they use type C and E plugs, different from those in Colombia), sunscreen, and a good pair of comfortable shoes for walking on the uneven streets of the medina. Pack light, as shopping in the souks is irresistible and you will want extra space for souvenirs.
