Morocco Tours: Your Guide to Trips to Morocco from the UK 2026 | 2027

UK travellers have several direct access routes to Tangier for the August 2, 2027, eclipse. Direct flights operate from London Gatwick, London Stansted, and Manchester to Tangier Ibn Battouta Airport (TNG) on Ryanair and easyJet, with flight times of approximately 3 hours. Alternatively, fly to Gibraltar or Málaga and take the high-speed ferry from Algeciras to Tangier in 35 minutes. Book flights and accommodation at least 12 months in advance. UK demand for the 2027 eclipse is already significant, and Tangier eclipse-night accommodation is filling rapidly.

No. UK citizens do not need a visa to enter Morocco for tourism. You can enter visa-free for up to 90 days on a valid UK passport. Your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay, with a minimum of 6 months' validity from your travel date. Morocco has no specific entry restrictions for the eclipse period. The only practical requirement is booking accommodation and tours well in advance, given the exceptionally high demand for eclipse dates in July and August 2027.
 

The 12-day Morocco Eclipse 2027 tour is the most popular choice for UK travellers because the longer duration justifies the long-haul flight and delivers significantly more of Morocco, the Saharan desert camp, all four imperial cities, Chefchaouen, and rooftop Marrakech, in addition to the August 2 eclipse viewing in Tangier. The 10-day tour suits UK travellers with limited annual leave. Both tours include licensed English-speaking guides, handpicked accommodation, and all transfers, departing from your nearest UK airport and joining at Casablanca on arrival.

Yes unequivocally. The 2027 total solar eclipse is the second-longest of the 21st century and the last visible from Morocco until the 2400s. Tangier offers 4 minutes and 50 seconds of totality with a 79% clear sky probability, better conditions than any European viewing location, including Spain. Morocco is also a 3-hour direct flight from the UK, making it one of the most accessible total eclipse destinations in the world for British travellers. Eclipse chasers who witnessed the 2017 American eclipse or the 2024 North American eclipse consistently describe totality as one of the most profound experiences of their lives, and Tangier in 2027 offers a longer duration than either.

Although you can pay in euros or U.S. dollars in most shops and restaurants,it is always better to carry the local currency during your Morocco Tour. You will find many exchange offices and banks that exchange currency for you.
