Morocco has a well-developed air transport system. There are 60 airports in the kingdom, of which 10 have international status - these are Agadir, Ujda, Dakhla, Laayoune, Marrakesh, Casablanca, Rabat, Tetuan, Tangier, Fes.
Section 1. General information about Morocco airports
It should be noted that the runways of 27 airports have modern road surface. From Moscow you can fly to the international airport in Morocco, using the direct flight from Sheremetyevo.
Moroccan airports have an important role in international air travel, as a link between Africa, Latin America and Europe. An intercontinental line of air communication Moscow - Havana passes through Rabat. From the Russian capital to Rabat, the flight lasts about 7 hours.
Domestic flights, for which tickets are relatively inexpensive, allow you to quickly get to anywhere in the kingdom. That is why Morocco airports are so popular with both locals and visitors.
Passing customs control is mandatory for passengers of both international and domestic flights. At the same time, there is only one control zone, and the procedure for passing through this zone differs only in that if a passenger arrives on an international flight, then if you want to use the internal customs card, you do not need to re-fill it. In this case, it is enough to present a ticket and a passport when passing the control zone.
By the way, not so long ago, Agadir Morocco Airport was recognized as one of the busiest transport hubs on the continent .
Section 2. Fes Airport
The airport of Fes - Sais - is only 15 km from the village itself. It can be reached by shuttle bus. It serves flights that provide connections with the Moroccan cities of Marrakech, Casablanca, as well as with the Australian airports of Canberra, Perth, Melbourne.
According to tourists, the airports of Morocco in general, and Fez in particular, create rather comfortable conditions for passengers. For example, in the waiting room, before going out, there are currency exchange points. You can also use the services of a tourist information office located in the airport building. The Moroccan girls working in the bureau are fluent in English.
Section 3. Marrakech Airport
The airport building in Marrakech is quite large. In the right part, in the main hall, there is a recreation area, which can be used by those who have to spend the night at the airport in order to be ready for check-in at the time of boarding. The fact is that you can fly to Europe from Marrakech only in the early morning. Since the airport building does not close at night, the intention to wait for departure there really can be realized.
Currency exchange, according to tourists, at the Marrakesh airport has a favorable rate. In the city, such an offer cannot be found. But Morocco airports generally often provide such a service. Tourists with experience in this country are advised to make an exchange of money immediately after arrival.
Marrakech Airport offers car rental, a cafΓ© and a tour desk.
Of great interest is this building from an architectural point of view. The heavy diamond-shaped blocks and the lacy national ornament decorating the windows, as well as the internal design made in the traditional style - all this is admirable.
