Do American citizens need a visa for Morocco?+
No. U.S. passport holders can enter Morocco visa-free for stays up to 90 days for tourism. Your passport must be valid for at least six months from your date of entry, and you'll need at least one blank page for the entry stamp. We send a pre-trip prep PDF that walks you through everything Customs may ask.
Are there nonstop flights from the U.S. to Morocco?+
Yes — Royal Air Maroc operates nonstop service from New York JFK and Washington Dulles (IAD) to Casablanca (CMN) year-round. Flight time is approximately 7.5 hours. From most other U.S. cities, you'll connect once — typically via Madrid (Iberia), Lisbon (TAP), Paris (Air France), London (British Airways), or Frankfurt (Lufthansa). We can structure your itinerary around whichever routing makes sense for your home airport.
Is Morocco safe for American travelers?+
Yes — Morocco is one of the safest destinations in North Africa and the broader region for U.S. travelers. The U.S. State Department currently lists Morocco at Level 2: Exercise Increased Caution, the same advisory level as France, Germany, the U.K. and Italy. Our private itineraries add a layer beyond solo travel: a dedicated English-speaking driver, vetted accommodation, 24/7 in-country support, and curated routes that avoid the small handful of areas the State Department flags.
How do you handle payment for U.S. clients?+
You can pay by U.S. credit card (Amex, Visa, Mastercard), ACH bank transfer, international wire, Zelle, or PayPal. Invoicing is in USD, so your credit-card statement won't show foreign transaction fees. See our sample pricing for what a trip costs. A deposit confirms the booking and the balance is due 90 days before departure; trips confirmed inside 90 days are paid in full at booking. Larger or last-minute bookings can be structured differently — just ask. These are our standard terms — the exact terms that govern your trip are the ones set out in your own trip proposal and confirmation invoice.
What's the time difference between the U.S. and Morocco?+
Morocco runs on GMT+1 year-round. That's typically 4 hours ahead of U.S. Eastern time, 5 ahead of Central, 6 ahead of Mountain, and 7 ahead of Pacific. Most American travelers find the jet lag from the East Coast manageable — similar to flying to Western Europe. We build a relaxed Day 1, or a half-day Casablanca walk, into most itineraries to let you reset.
We're a multi-generational family with kids and grandparents — can you accommodate that?+
Yes — multi-gen American families are one of our most common bookings. We use mid-size or large private vehicles, select accommodation with family suites or connecting rooms, build in slower pacing and rest days, and offer kid-friendly cooking classes, camel rides in the dunes, and Atlas village visits that work for all ages. Tell us the ages and mobility levels of everyone traveling, and we'll design accordingly.
How far in advance should we book?+
For peak season travel (April–May and September–October), we recommend booking 4–6 months ahead — the best riads in Fes and Marrakech sell out fast in those windows. For Christmas/New Year, book 8–10 months out. For shoulder seasons, 8–12 weeks is usually enough lead time. If you're planning closer to departure, we can almost always still build something excellent.
Can you arrange a kosher, halal, vegetarian or other special diet?+
Yes. Morocco is naturally halal-friendly across the board. We routinely arrange vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and kosher meals. For strict kosher, we work with specific Casablanca and Marrakech kosher caterers and restaurants. Just tell us your dietary requirements at the proposal stage and we'll structure restaurant and riad selections around them.
What about travel insurance?+
We strongly recommend U.S. travelers purchase comprehensive travel insurance covering trip cancellation, medical evacuation, and lost baggage. We don't sell insurance directly, but we can point you toward U.S.-based providers our clients have had good experiences with, including Allianz, Travel Guard, and World Nomads. Many premium credit cards include baseline trip protection worth checking before you buy a standalone policy.
