The Best Ways to Get to Morocco from the U.S. (2026 Guide)
If you’ve been thinking about traveling to Morocco but aren’t sure how complicated it is to get there, you’re not alone.
It’s one of the most common questions travelers ask before they commit to a trip.
The reality is that Morocco is far more accessible than most people expect. And starting in 2026, it becomes even easier, especially from the West Coast.
If you’re beginning to explore options, you can also take a look at our current journeys and how routes align with them.
Flying to Morocco from the U.S.: What to Expect
Most routes from the U.S. to Morocco require just one stop, and in some cases, now even none.
The two main arrival cities are:
Casablanca (CMN)
Marrakech (RAK)
Both are strong starting points depending on your itinerary and how you want to move through the country.
Nonstop Flights from Los Angeles (New in 2026)
Starting June 2026, Royal Air Maroc is launching the first nonstop route between Los Angeles and Morocco.
Route: Los Angeles → Casablanca
Frequency: approximately 3x per week
Flight time: ~13 to 14 hours
This is a major shift for West Coast travelers. It removes the need for a European or East Coast connection and makes the journey feel much more direct.
If you’re considering traveling during this time, you can explore current journeys and availability.
Best One-Stop Routes from the U.S.
If nonstop isn’t the right fit, there are still many efficient one-stop options.
From the West Coast
Los Angeles → Paris → Marrakech or Casablanca
Los Angeles → New York → Casablanca
Los Angeles → Atlanta → Marrakech via Delta Air Lines
From the East Coast
New York (JFK) → Casablanca (nonstop on Royal Air Maroc)
Atlanta → Marrakech (nonstop on Delta Air Lines)
One-stop routes via Paris, Madrid, or Lisbon
Getting from Casablanca to Marrakech (Train Option)
If you arrive in Casablanca and plan to continue to Marrakech, the train is one of the simplest ways to travel between the two.
Duration: about 2.5 to 3 hours
Operator: ONCF
Comfortable seating, with first-class options available
It’s a smooth and reliable connection, and many travelers prefer it over a short domestic flight.
What About Flights from Europe?
If you’re traveling from Europe, Morocco is even closer.
Flight times: typically 2 to 4 hours
Frequent routes from Paris, Madrid, Lisbon, and London
This makes Morocco an easy extension to a European trip or a convenient standalone destination.
