Why Morocco
Why American travellers love Morocco.

Do you need a visa?

Time difference
Morocco is about 6 hours ahead of United States (it stays on UTC+1 year-round), 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.
