Section 1. General information about the airports of Morocco

It should be noted that the runways of 27 airports have a modern road surface. From Moscow, you can fly to the international airport in Morocco, taking advantage of a direct flight from Sheremetyevo.

Moroccan airports have an important function in international air transport, being a link between Africa, Latin America and Europe. An intercontinental Moscow-Havana air link passes through Rabat. From the Russian capital to Rabat, the flight lasts about 7 hours.

Domestic flights, on which tickets are relatively inexpensive, allow you to quickly reach anywhere in the kingdom. That's why the airports of Morocco enjoy such popularity both among local residents and visitors of the country.

Passage of customs control is mandatory for passengers and international and domestic flights. In this case, the control zone is the same, and the procedure for passing through this zone differs only in that if the passenger arrives on an international flight, if you wish to use the internal one, the customs card is not required to be refilled. In this case, it is sufficient to present a ticket and a passport when passing through the control zone.

By the way, not so long ago the airport of Morocco Agadir was recognized as one of the busiest transport nodes of the continent .

Section 2. Fes Airport

The airport of the city of Fez - Sais - is only 15 km from the most populated point. You can reach it by taxi. It serves flights that provide communication with the Moroccan cities of Marrakech, Casablanca, as well as with the Australian airports of Canberra, Perth, Melbourne.

According to tourists, Morocco airports in general, and Fes in particular, create quite comfortable conditions for passengers. For example, in the waiting room before going out to the street there are currency exchange points. You can also use the services of the tourist information office, which is located in the airport building. Moroccan girls working in the office, speak English well.

Section 3. Marrakech Airport

The airport building in Marrakech is quite large. In the right part, in the main hall, there is a rest zone, which can be used by those who are forced to spend the night at the airport, in time to be ready for registration at 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 in it can indeed be realized.

Currency exchange, according to tourists, at the airport in Marrakech is distinguished by a profitable course. In the city, such a proposal can not be found. But airports in Morocco in general often provide such a service. Tourists who have experience of staying in a given country are advised to make an exchange of money immediately upon arrival.

At the airport in Marrakech, you can rent a car, relax in a cafe, or use the services of a tourist office.

Of great interest is the given construction from the architectural point of view. Heavy diamond-shaped blocks and lacy national ornament decorating the windows, as well as the interior design, executed in the traditional style - all this is admirable.
