Royal Air Maroc is reported to let passengers stop in Morocco at no extra fare, up to seven days in economy and 14 in business, when the ticket is booked as multi-city. Hotels and ground transport are yours to arrange. That's where we come in. With one night you can see the Hassan II Mosque and the Habous quarter; with two, add Rabat or El Jadida; with three, go to Marrakech and get driven from there straight back to the airport.

Sources: trade press on flights from Brazil (PANROTAS, Nov 2025; Brasilturis, May 2026). We couldn't find the terms on Royal Air Maroc's own site, and they can differ by route. Confirm with Royal Air Maroc before you book.

Three steps, one ticket.

  1. Book it as multi-city

    Reported terms: every leg in the same fare class; the fare stays the same and only the airport taxes for the stop change. Ask RAM or your agent to price it.

  2. Enter Morocco

    A stopover means passing immigration at Mohammed V Airport, so your passport has to allow entry. Check whether you need a visa first.

  3. Arrange the ground

    Hotel, meals and transfers aren't included. We handle the airport transfers, the drivers and the guides, and can suggest hotels.

Only connecting for one night and not leaving the airport? That's RAM's transit service, not a stopover. See overnight layover in Casablanca.

One, two or three nights from Casablanca.

  1. 1 night

Royal Air Maroc stopover: your questions.

Transit hotel and exit-permit details: Royal Air Maroc, airport transit.

Does Royal Air Maroc offer a free stopover in Morocco?
Trade press in Brazil reports that it does: a stopover in Morocco at no extra fare, up to seven days in economy and up to 14 days in business class (PANROTAS, November 2025; Brasilturis, May 2026). Brasilturis adds that the ticket must be issued as multi-city with every leg in the same fare class, that only the airport taxes for the stop change, and that hotels, meals and ground transport are the passenger's own cost. These reports concern flights from São Paulo. Confirm the current terms for your route with Royal Air Maroc before you book.
Is the hotel included in the Royal Air Maroc stopover?
Not according to the May 2026 report: lodging, meals and transport stay with the passenger. This is different from RAM's transit hotel, which it may offer on long international-to-international connections (more than 8 hours in business, 12 in economy), depending on availability. Royal Air Maroc's transit page also says a hotel outside the airport needs a transit visa or an exit permit.
Do I need a visa for a stopover in Casablanca?
A stopover means entering Morocco, so you need whatever your passport needs for any visit. Many nationalities enter visa-free for short stays; others need a visa or e-visa. Check your nationality before you book the multi-city ticket.
How far is Mohammed V Airport from Casablanca?
About 30 km, usually 35 to 45 minutes by car depending on traffic. There's also a train from the airport into the city.
Can I go to Marrakech on a stopover?
Yes, with three nights or more. Marrakech is about three hours from Casablanca by motorway. On the last day we drive you from Marrakech straight to Mohammed V Airport, which saves going back through the city.
What do you need from me to quote?
