Yes. Royal Air Maroc operates nonstop New York (JFK) and Washington (IAD) to Casablanca year-round, both around 7 hours. From every other US city, you connect once through Europe — most commonly Paris, London, Madrid, Lisbon, or Frankfurt.

Gateway2Morocco's private tours start at $2,120 USD per person for the 8-day Erg Chigaga desert expedition. Most 9–11 day tours run $2,385–$2,915 USD per person. The 13–14 day grand tours run $3,445–$3,710 USD per person. Includes private driver, licensed guides, all entrance fees, daily breakfast, and Moroccan airport transfers. International flights from the US are not included.

US-issued credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, AMEX), wire transfers in USD, and PayPal. All transactions in USD with no FX surprises between deposit and final payment.

Morocco is 4 hours ahead of US Eastern Time and 7 hours ahead of US Pacific Time. Morocco doesn't observe DST the same way, so the gap shifts by an hour at certain times of year. We pace day 1 to absorb the time change comfortably.

Yes — many of our American clients book exactly that. We pace these tours with shorter daily drives, hotels with elevators, swimming pools for kids, and accommodation that suits both grandparents and toddlers. Car seats, stroller-friendly routing, and child-friendly meals all available.

For peak spring (March–May) and fall (September–November) departures, book 4–6 months ahead. For winter Sahara escapes, 3–4 months. Summer Atlantic coast trips, 2–3 months. Last-minute bookings under 6 weeks are possible but limit accommodation choice.
