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 took the decision to suspend the all flights from and to France until at least January 31, 2022 following the outbreak of cases of Covid-19 in France.
In agreement with the Moroccan authorities, RAM will offer special repatriation flights during the month of January from Morocco to France, Belgium, Italy, Spain and Mauritania. On the other hand, no repatriation flight to Morocco has been announced for the time being.

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.
Flights will be operated in both directions (France-Morocco and Morocco-France) since the reopening of Morocco’s borders on June 15 by 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.
