Boston to Tan Tan (BOS–TTA) — Airlines, Schedules & Connections

US passport holders enter Morocco visa-free for up to 90 days. No advance application is needed. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry. At Mohammed V International Airport (CMN) in Casablanca, Marrakech Menara (RAK), or any Moroccan airport, immigration stamps your passport after you fill out an arrival card. The card asks for your name, passport number, accommodation address, and profession.

The 90-day stay cannot be extended without leaving the country. For longer stays, exit to a neighboring country (Spain is a 35-minute ferry from Tangier to Tarifa) and return for a fresh 90 days. Morocco spans from Mediterranean beaches in the north to Sahara dunes in the south. Marrakech, Fez, Chefchaouen, and Essaouira are the main tourist cities. The medinas of Fez and Marrakech are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The Atlas Mountains between Marrakech and the Sahara reach 4,167m at Jebel Toubkal, North Africa's highest peak.

Direct flights from New York JFK to Casablanca run about 7 hours on Royal Air Maroc. Seasonal nonstop service operates to Marrakech from New York on Royal Air Maroc and other carriers. Morocco uses the Moroccan dirham (MAD), trading at roughly 10 MAD per $1. ATMs are common in cities and tourist towns. Card payments work at hotels and larger restaurants. Riads (traditional guesthouses) in the Marrakech medina cost MAD 400 to MAD 1,500 ($40 to $150) per night. ONCF trains connect Casablanca to Marrakech in 2 hours 30 minutes for MAD 149 ($15) first class and to Fez in 3 hours 30 minutes. CTM and Supratours buses cover routes not served by rail. A tagine at a local restaurant costs MAD 40 to MAD 80 ($4 to $8).

MBTA Silver Line SL1 bus runs from South Station (Red Line, Amtrak) through the Ted Williams Tunnel to all Logan terminals; free from the airport, $2.40 inbound. Journey from South Station takes 15–20 minutes depending on traffic. The Blue Line Aquarium station connects to a free water taxi ($12) across the harbor to Logan; scenic but weather-dependent.Taxis from downtown Boston cost $30–45 with the Ted Williams Tunnel toll included. Ride-hails are comparable. The Sumner and Ted Williams tunnels both serve the airport; check traffic before departing, as both frequently back up. Logan is only 3 miles from downtown but tunnel congestion often extends that to 30+ minutes.
