The Moroccan government has decided to reopen the airspace to flights to and from Morocco from February 7, 2022.
[Mis à jour le 28 janvier 2022 à 17h56] The government has set the reopening of the borders of the Morocco to February 7, 2022 after two months of closure due to the spread of the Omicron variant. Good news for travelers as well as for tourism professionals. “To support the implementation of this decision, a technical commission is currently examining the measures to be adopted at border posts and the conditions required for travelers, which will be announced later,” the statement said.
The state of emergency established at the start of the health crisis remains in force until February 28 throughout the kingdom. Morocco being on the orange list of France, only vaccinated travelers will be able to go there for tourist reasons. Those who have not been vaccinated must provide proof of a compelling reason
After months of state of emergency and stoppage of tourism in order to fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, Morocco had reopened its air borders in mid-June 2021. However, the Kingdom had taken the decision to suspend the all flights from and to France following the outbreak of cases of Covid-19 in France. Morocco’s air borders will finally reopen on February 7, 2022.
Unvaccinated French people (and other foreigners) passing through Morocco must carry out a controlled quarantine of 10 days, at their expense, in one of the structures previously designated by the Moroccan authorities, with a control PCR test on the 9th day.
The Moroccan government announced in mid-November the lifting of the national curfew in force for more than a year due to “the improvement of the epidemiological situation” in the kingdom. This decision follows “following the positive results achieved within the framework of the national vaccination campaign”, explains the government in a press release
Restaurants, cinemas and theaters, as well as public swimming pools have reopened in Morocco. Wearing a compulsory mask remains compulsory and police checks have been reinforced in recent weeks in various cities of the country.
All beaches in Morocco are officially authorized access, respecting physical distance.
The flights will be operated in both directions (France-Morocco and Morocco-France) since the reopening of Morocco’s borders on June 15 by the French and Moroccan airlines which should be contacted for any reservations and information. It is therefore no longer necessary to go through French consulates to travel by air.
