Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which airport should I fly into?

A: Guests may fly into Casablanca Mohammed V International Airport (CMN) or Rabat–Salé International Airport (RBA).

  • Casablanca (CMN): Morocco’s largest international hub with the widest range of global flight options. Casablanca is approximately 1.5 hours by car from Rabat.​

  • Rabat–Salé (RBA): Rabat’s international airport. While currently smaller, expanded international routes are expected by 2026 as airport upgrades are completed. Depending on flight availability, it may be easier and more convenient to fly directly into Rabat rather than connecting through Casablanca.​

Guests should choose the arrival airport that best aligns with their flight options and schedule. Group arrival coordination will be provided from both airports on designated days.
