Why Morocco
Why New Zealand travellers love Morocco.
New Zealand travellers come to Tangier for the contrast and the closeness: a white kasbah and medina spilling down to the Strait of Gibraltar, café terraces looking across to Spain, and an easy gateway north to blue Chefchaouen and the Rif — all in one welcoming city where a private trip, and even a ferry crossing from Spain, turns a long-held dream into an easy, well-run reality.
Getting there
Flights from New Zealand
Travel from New Zealand routes via a Gulf hub or a European city into Casablanca (for the train north to Tangier) or onward to Tangier (TNG) by European feeder — usually 28–32 hours including connections, often broken with a stopover.
Best arrival airports: Tangier (TNG) via Europe, or Casablanca (CMN) + train. We meet every guest in arrivals and drive you door to door — see airport transfers.
Do you need a visa?
New Zealand passport holders travel to Morocco visa-free for up to 90 days for tourism. No advance visa is required — a passport valid for six months beyond arrival is the safe standard.
Time difference
Tangier is about 11 hours behind New Zealand (it stays on UTC+1 year-round).
When to go
The best time to visit.
April–June and September–October are ideal for Tangier — warm, breezy days on the Strait of Gibraltar, soft Atlantic-Mediterranean light over the kasbah and medina, and calm crossings if you arrive by ferry from Spain. July–August is hot and lively with beach crowds; winters are mild and green, perfect for quiet walks and day trips north to Chefchaouen.
