Akorn Morocco Latest Update

With summer right around the corner, we are seeing major improvements promising a great Q3/Q4 of 2021. Although the border situation remains unchanged, the government issued a recent statement with the following updates: 

• Curfew is now pushed to 23:00 
• Restaurants and similar are now allowed a 75% capacity instead of 50% 
• All hotels are fully open 
• Monuments to reopen imminently 

While it is still mandatory to obtain a circulation authorization to move freely around the country (which we can easily arrange for our guests), we are now nearly back to normal. In fact, we have successfully operated 2 groups over the past week in a splendid tour combining Fes, the Sahara Desert and Marrakech. The efficiency of the execution on the ground alongside the great feedback received from the guests is the last indicator we needed to announce to all of our partners that we are now fully ready to start promoting circuits again vs one-stop destination. 

We feel that now is the right time to book as we still have fantastic ongoing special offers while hotels are quickly filling up. 

To access Morocco, the requirements so far remain the same as previously shared: 

• ONLY citizen with no visa requirement are allowed to visit the country (you can find a detailed list here)  
• A negative PCR test dated no earlier than 72 hours prior to departure (of the last flight-leg)  
• A valid hotel reservation or for business travel an invitation letter from the Moroccan company visited  
• Travel on one of the “special flights” currently operated to Morocco (please check with us for a day-to-day updated status)  
• Present on arrival a pre filled “passenger health form” completed on  Morocco National Airport Authority – Health form and printed prior to arrival  

We hope with these splendid updates we will be seeing more of your support soon.

Wine Pairing at Chateau Roslane - Meknes

Although it’s not the most obvious choice, Morocco is considered to have the best natural potential for producing high-quality wines, due to its high mountains and cooling influence from the Atlantic. Visit one of the stunning vineyards located between the foothills of the Rif, the Middle Atlas Mountains and the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. This area is known for producing powerful, full-bodied, fruity and expressive wines for over 2000 years. Depart early with your driver-guide and upon arrival in Meknes, visit the wine cellars of Celliers de Meknes winery and Chateau Roslane to learn how the wine is stored. Next visit the tasting room, and as you sip away on your glass, chat with the owners and winemakers about their crops, wines and passion for the industry. Picturesque and breathtaking views of the green vines and blue skies surround you. To conclude the trip, enjoy a Gourmet Moroccan lunch in a beautiful setting before heading back to your hotel.
