Making It Happen
Getting There & Around
Royal Air Maroc is the only carrier that offers direct service from the U.S. to Morocco, via New York’s JFK to Casablanca. Catch a connecting flight from Casablanca to Menara Airport (about 4 miles southwest of Marrakech). Most nonstop flights from New York to Casablanca take almost 8 hours. Flights from Los Angeles to Casablanca stop in New York and take 13 to 15 hours. Direct flights from Casablanca to Marrakech last about 40 minutes. For sightseeing excursions, hire a driver through a hotel or tour company. Use local taxis for hopping around the different neighborhoods. Morocco’s railways (www.oncf.ma/en/horraires.aspx) run several daily trains to Fez, Rabat, Tangier, and Essaouira.
