Morocco offers very different settings for flying. Which is best depends on your experience, your travel plans and the season.
Here is how the main types of place compare.
Mountains near Marrakech
The hills and foothills of the High Atlas are the most convenient choice for visitors: close to the city, scenic and well suited to tandem flights.
The Atlantic coast
Coastal flying along cliffs and beaches offers a different kind of beauty, with steady sea breezes and wide horizons. It suits those travelling along the south or west coast.
The desert dunes
The dunes near Merzouga are for experienced independent pilots only, with no tandem flights. They are spectacular but demanding.
How to choose
If it is your first flight, choose the setting that is easiest to reach and suits your dates. If you are an experienced pilot, think about the kind of lift you enjoy and talk to local pilots.
Whatever you choose, weather decides, so keep some flexibility.
