Why Morocco
Why travellers from Utah love Morocco.
For Utah travellers, Morocco is the most rewarding long-weekend-to-two-week trip within easy reach of the East Coast: medieval medinas, the Sahara, Atlas mountain villages and the Atlantic coast, all in one compact country where English is widely spoken in the trade and the dollar goes a long way.
Getting there
Flights from Utah
Expect one connection through an East-Coast or European gateway into Casablanca or Marrakech. Total travel time is usually 14–16 hours including the layover.
Best arrival airports: Casablanca (CMN) for nonstop arrivals, then Marrakech (RAK), Fes (FEZ) or Tangier (TNG). 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
Morocco is about 7 hours ahead of Utah, USA (Morocco has kept UTC+0 all year since September 2026), which makes for an easy, eastward adjustment.
When to go
The best time to visit.
March–May and September–November are ideal across most of Morocco — warm days, cool evenings, and the best light for the medinas, coast and desert. The Sahara is best October–April; the Atlas peaks hold snow into spring.

Good to know
Morocco from Utah — your questions.
Do Americans need a visa to visit Morocco?
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.
How do I fly to Morocco from Utah?
Expect one connection through an East-Coast or European gateway into Casablanca or Marrakech. Total travel time is usually 14–16 hours including the layover.
How far ahead should Utah travellers book a Morocco trip?
For the high season (October–April) and any trip involving the Sahara, book 8–12 weeks ahead to lock in riads and desert camps. Shoulder-season and city-only trips can often be arranged inside two to three weeks.
Is Morocco safe and easy for US travellers?
Yes. Morocco is one of the most stable, welcoming countries in the region, set up for tourism, with English spoken in hotels and by guides. A private driver-guide removes the only real friction — navigating medinas and intercity roads — so you can relax into the trip.
