Travel Cost and Time Estimates:
The cost of flying from Europe to Marrakech can vary between very cheap (less than 300 USD) up to 600 USD or more, depending on itinerary, airline, time of booking, etc. Depending on the European city, travel time is around 1.5-3.5 hours. From the US/Canada, the fastest connection is a non-stop flight with Royal Air Maroc from New York, Washington DC, Miami, and Montreal to Casablanca (~7h), for which prices are around 1000-1,500 USD. Prices lower than 1,000 USD can be obtained by flying through a European city (particularly Paris,Madrid), but longer layovers can be expected, maybe even overnight. From Asia, the likely routes go through a Gulf airport (e.g., Abu Dhabi, Doha) or Cairo.
Royal Air Morocco serves fourteen African countries: Mauritania, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Guinea, Mali, Gabon, Niger, Cameroon, Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso, Egypt, Algeria and Tunisia.
