Adventurous woman alone

I believe the only direct flights from NY to Morocco are on Royal Air Maroc, to Casablanca. But it sometimes is less expensive if you go through London on another carrier. The desert MAY be cooler in early October, but I about croaked from the heat in Merzouga while camping near there on one trip at that time of year.

We took Royal Air Maroc from NY if I remember correctly we landed in Marrakesh 3 years ago, then left from Casa to go home. We really liked Royal Air Maroc. We're from Baltimore, MD. My husband did a lot of research and found that the best flights from our area (NY/DC/Balt) land in Casa or Marrakesh (we take a similar route and tried really hard to land at one end or the other but we were either ending up too far away, paying too much or had extra lay-overs). You can also get good flights out of Washington, DC or BWI (in Baltimore) but beware - connector flights in New York can be a bit of a hassle (got stuck there trying to get to DC for 4 hours last year).

From New York, it's easiest to fly direct to Casa (but not necessarily cheapest). I've also gone from Boston to Casa via France; NYC to Casa via Brussels, and know many people who have gone to Marrakesh or Fez via London, Paris, or Amsterdam.

Hello oceania,
We will go to Morocco in the coming days(Nov9!)...Did you enjoy the desert tour and did you find the agency in advance or just found one when you arrived there?
