Why Morocco
Why French travellers love Morocco.
French travellers come to Rabat for its calm and its culture: the UNESCO-listed capital pairs the Kasbah of the Udayas, Hassan Tower and the ruins of Chellah with a relaxed Atlantic seafront — and its train station puts Fes, Casablanca and Marrakech within easy reach, so a private trip turns a long-held dream into an easy, well-run reality.
Getting there
Flights from France
France is Morocco's busiest air market, and Rabat-Salé (RBA) is well served: direct flights from Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse and Bordeaux reach Rabat in about 3 hours, with Casablanca an easy hour by train as an alternative.
Best arrival airports: Rabat-Salé (RBA), Casablanca (CMN). We meet every guest in arrivals and drive you door to door — see airport transfers.
Do you need a visa?
As an EU/Schengen passport holder you enter Morocco visa-free for up to 90 days. No advance visa is needed for tourism — a passport valid for the duration of your stay is enough, though six months' validity is the safe standard.
Time difference
Rabat shares the same clock as France for most of the year (UTC+1), so there is effectively no jet lag to adjust to.
When to go
The best time to visit.
March–May and September–November are ideal for Rabat — warm, breezy days off the Atlantic, cool evenings, and the best light over the Kasbah of the Udayas, Hassan Tower and the Chellah gardens. Summers are pleasantly tempered by the ocean; winters are mild and quiet, perfect for the museums and ramparts.
