Why Morocco for travellers from Australia
Why Morocco for travellers from Australia
A few reasons travellers from Australia keep coming back to Morocco — and choose Moroccan Guide to plan their journey.
- 1
Worth the journey: most Australian travellers combine Morocco with a European city stop (London, Paris, Doha, Singapore).
- 2
20+ hours of flight via Dubai, Doha or Singapore — but a single onward connection puts you in Marrakech.
- 3
No visa for Australian citizens. Spring (your autumn) is ideal — September to November.
- 4
A genuine cultural antipode: medinas, deserts, and Berber villages are unlike anything in the Pacific region.
Paperwork
No visa required for Australian citizens — tourist stay up to 90 days.

September–November (your spring) is ideal — avoid the Australian summer holidays which clash with Moroccan summer heat.
