Hello from the medina in Marrakech,
I arrived in Morroco more than a week ago on TAP Portugal YYZ-LIS on an A321LR! It was a good flight. Connected to Casablanca on an E190. Then Royal Air Maroc to Agadir on a 737.
Covid19 restrictions are generally very loose here these days. The only places enforcing masks (sort of) and checking for vaccination status are on domestic flights, banks, museums and big Westernized: shopping malls, hotels, posh restaurants (masking only on the staff). Local riads/hotels, shops and restaurants don’t bother. There were no checks on my intercity bus from Agadir to Marrakech, and I will see about my train to Casablanca tomorrow. Almost nobody is wearing a mask outdoors and very very few people are masking up indoors. For the locals, life seems back to normal. I seem to be the only person wearing a mask in taxis or the intercity bus.
Last week Morocco banned all flights from UK, Germany and Netherlands without prior notice, blaming the rise in Covid cases in those countries. My hotelier thinks Belgium is next. No word on duration of the flight bans. For most of September and October, Canada banned direct flights from Morocco (Casablanca to Montreal) which was only lifted last week. International travel restrictions are still dicey it seems. Fingers crossed for my flight home on Wednesday.
Tourism doesn’t seemed to have returned to the secondary destinations in Morocco (hello Taroudant), but Marrakech was buzzing this weekend with Europeans (travel bans notwithstanding) eager for a weekend escape. All the posh and trendy bars and restaurants were full up. And the locals are out in throngs, enjoying life as “normal”.
