Morocco is a destination that you can visit endlessly and always experience something new while making long lasting memories. Today, travel throughout Morocco has become faster and more efficient thanks to the opening of new domestic flights with Royal Air Maroc and Air Arabia sharing the domestic flight market.
Travelers now have easy access to Fez, Marrakech, Ouarzazate, Errachidia and Zagora. Of course, affluent travelers can still indulge themselves in private transportation such as helicopter and private jet transfers. These services cut down travel time considerably and offer more flexibility, allowing ample time to discover all of what Morocco has to offer.
Combining several destinations in one single itinerary is now possible for all, thanks to the new air connections available at a low budget. Needless to say that considering these flights is not only an efficient way to avoid long hours of driving, but also a great incentive to discover the hidden gems of the Moroccan South, rich in terms of architecture, hidden Oases, palm groves, as well as a great discovery of the nomadic ways of art and culture.
For less than 75 USD, you can get from Marrakech to Fez on a direct 1-hr afternoon flight currently scheduled 4 days a week (on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays). Another 1-hr flight from Fez to Errachidia can transport travellers on to their Desert Camping experience on Tuesdays and Fridays or Saturdays (depending on the season). From there a short 2 hours’ drive will take them to their luxury desert camp in Merzouga, home to the highest and most impressive sand dunes in the Sahara, where they will arrive right in time for a sunset camel ride.
After a thrilling stay in Marrakech, travellers usually quench their thirst of adventure and delve deeper into the Moroccan lands. Skoura and Ouarzazate are increasingly becoming go-to destinations for the traveller that desires an off the beaten track experience. A quick and easy 40-min direct flight from Marrakech to Ouarzazate will safely transport them on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays (dates may vary depending on seasons). Leisure travellers coming from the bustling city of Casablanca can take a direct 1h15 flight to Ouarzazate, entrance to the Moroccan South.
Sentimental travellers seeking the romantic experience of a private camp in Erg Chegaga a can now hop on a 1h50 direct flight from Casablanca to Zagora on Wednesdays and Fridays and find themselves in an English-inspired lodge, having the best food in the Desert. Recent availabilities in flights provide opportunities for every type of traveller to discover a new destination or their favourite city!
When booking a private jet, travellers are able to connect any Moroccan airport at any time, while enjoying an exclusive experience. Prices vary from approx. $10,000.00 USD one way to $17,000.00 USD round trip for a Cessna Citation III (capacity for 6-8 passengers). Helicopters depart from airports as well as from a handful of properties (Dar Ahlam and Azalai Desert Camp near Erg Chegaga) and they can take up to 6 passengers with light luggage. Customize your journey and cut your travel time in half with direct transfers from Marrakech to Zagora, Ouarzazate to Fez and many other destinations!
