Why Morocco
Why American travellers love Morocco.
American 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 United States
Royal Air Maroc flies nonstop from New York (JFK), Washington (IAD), Boston and Miami to Casablanca (CMN) in about 7–8 hours, then the high-speed Al Boraq train runs up to Tangier; many travellers instead connect through Madrid, Paris or Lisbon straight into Tangier–Ibn Battouta (TNG).
Best arrival airports: Tangier (TNG) via Europe, or Casablanca (CMN) + Al Boraq train. We meet every guest in arrivals and drive you door to door — see airport transfers.
Do you need a visa?
United States passport holders do not need a visa for Morocco. You may enter visa-free and stay for up to 90 days for tourism — just bring a passport valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date.
Time difference
Tangier is about 6 hours ahead of United States (it stays on UTC+1 year-round), which makes for an easy, eastward adjustment.
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.
