With an hour of difference at the very most and a flight under four hours, Manchester travellers feel no jet lag whatsoever. Step off the plane and into your Moroccan itinerary the same day, fully rested.
Best Time to Travel
Manchester travellers find spring and autumn ideal, with warm, comfortable days across the imperial cities and the desert. Winter departures are popular too, swapping the North West chill for mild Moroccan coastlines and snow-dusted Atlas summits.
