Morocco Tour from the Netherlands and Belgium
Published November 13, 2026 by Morocco Amazing Tours
The short answer: From the Netherlands and Belgium, direct flights reach Marrakech and other Moroccan cities in about three and a half to four hours. Dutch and Belgian citizens do not need a visa for stays of up to 90 days. Spring and autumn are the best seasons for a private tour combining Marrakech, the Sahara and Fes.
Flights
Direct routes to Marrakech operate from airports such as Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Rotterdam, Brussels and Charleroi, depending on the season. There are also flights to Fes, Tangier, Nador and Casablanca. Flying into one city and out of another saves a long drive.
Entry requirements
EU passport holders need a passport valid for the whole stay. No visa is required for tourism up to 90 days. See our visa guide.
Best time to travel
| Period | Why |
|---|---|
| Spring (March – May) | Mild days, green valleys, comfortable in the desert |
| Autumn (September – November) | Warm and stable, ideal for the Sahara |
| Winter | Sunny escape from northern Europe; cold desert nights |
Itinerary ideas
- Winter sun week: Marrakech, Imlil and Essaouira.
- Classic 8 days: Casablanca, Fes, the Sahara and Marrakech.
- Two weeks: the 13-day tour from Tangier.
Practical tips
- Bring some euros to exchange; ATMs are widely available in cities.
- Many Moroccans speak French; English is common in tourism.
- Morocco is on the same time as the Netherlands and Belgium in winter and one hour behind in summer (Morocco changes its clock during Ramadan).
