Ryanair is trying to push Morocco destinations

Advertising

The Irish low-cost airline Ryanair is offering flights to Agadir, Marrakech and Fès in Morocco in the 2022 summer flight schedule. All three destinations are not served from every airport. For example, from Vienna you only have Agadir in the program.

Just a few weeks ago, the budget airline was so incensed by the international flight ban imposed by the government in Rabat that it threatened to withdraw all flights from Morocco permanently . It maintains a base in Agadir and employs local staff.

Located on the Atlantic coast and renowned for its 10 km of sandy beaches, Agadir, Morocco 's most vibrant city, is the perfect destination for water sports enthusiasts. With a wide range of activities to choose from, you can opt for kayaking, surfing, or parasailing while enjoying breathtaking views. Those who prefer land-based adventures can hike in the nearby Paradise Valley – a particularly scenic trail surrounded by incredibly emerald-green waters. Drive along winding mountain roads through traditional Berber villages to reach Imouzzer, nestled perfectly in the Atlas Mountains. Overall, this Moroccan city has much to offer. Whether you're exploring the elegant market stalls, cafes, and shops in Port de Plaisance or haggling for priceless treasures in the traditional souk, you're sure to have the time of your life.

Marrakech – famous as Morocco's "Red City," it offers something for everyone, from the circus-like Jemaa El-Fnaa square to its opulent palaces and breathtaking gardens. Marrakech is a must-see for tourists seeking a truly Moroccan experience. Steeped in history and culture, and a blend of old and new, Marrakech has its own unique personality. Enjoy the bustling atmosphere of the souks in the medina, where you can find authentic items such as jewelry, lamps, and tagine pots, as well as genuine spices and rich musk oils. Take a trip to the Atlas Mountains and explore the flat terrain on camelback before hiking to enjoy the views and waterfalls. Finally, be sure to stroll through the stunning Jardin Majorelle, which was purchased in 1980 by the founder of the French fashion house Yves Saint Laurent to save it from destruction. Jardin Majorelle is home to over 3.000 botanical species, an Art Deco villa, and a museum about Berber history, and with its vibrant colors, it's a paradise for Instagrammers!

Fes is one of Morocco's four imperial cities and rightly one of the country's most popular tourist destinations. Founded in the 8th century, the city is famous for its unique Muslim architecture and its imposing 15-kilometer-long city wall, which many compare to the ancient walls of Jerusalem. Its main attraction is the terraced, oriental old city of Fes el Bali, with its narrow, stepped alleyways, some only 50 centimeters wide, medieval buildings, and Moorish arched architecture. It boasts 350 mosques and is considered the most authentic of all the imperial medinas. Visitors can also witness traditional crafts at many historical sites, immersing themselves in Moroccan traditions. The city is the religious, cultural, and artisanal center of Morocco – a visit to Fes is therefore a must on any trip to Morocco.
