Why Morocco
Why travellers from Virginia love Morocco.
For Virginia travellers, Agadir is Morocco's easiest beach holiday: wide Atlantic sand, year-round sun, big resort hotels, the surf town of Taghazout up the coast, and easy day trips into the Souss valley and the Anti-Atlas — all priced in dirhams (MAD) so the dollar goes a long way.
Getting there
Flights from Virginia
Royal Air Maroc flies nonstop from New York (JFK), Washington (IAD), Boston and Miami to Casablanca (CMN) in around 7–8 hours; from there a short domestic hop or onward flight reaches Agadir Al Massira (AGA).

Do you need a visa?
United States passport holders do not need a visa for Morocco. You may enter visa-free — including at Agadir Al Massira (AGA) — and stay for up to 90 days for tourism; just bring a passport valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date.
Time difference
Agadir is about 6 hours ahead of Virginia, USA (it stays on UTC+1 year-round), which makes for an easy, eastward adjustment.
When to go
The best time to visit.
Agadir is year-round sun — over 300 days a year — so there is no truly bad time to come. April–June and September–October bring warm, dry beach days without peak crowds; July–August are hottest and busiest; and October–March is prime winter-sun season, with mild, bright days that make Agadir one of the warmest winter escapes in reach of Europe. The Atlantic stays swimmable most of the year, and the surf at Taghazout is best from autumn through spring.

How far ahead should Virginia travellers book an Agadir trip?
For the winter-sun season (October–March) and school holidays, book resort hotels and transfers 8–12 weeks ahead — Agadir's best beachfront rooms fill early. Shoulder-season and shorter stays can often be arranged inside two to three weeks.
Is Agadir safe and easy for US travellers?
Yes. Agadir is a purpose-built, modern resort city — one of the most relaxed places to land in Morocco, with wide boulevards, a long beach promenade and English spoken in hotels and by guides. A private driver-guide makes day trips to Taghazout, Paradise Valley and the Souss-Massa coast effortless.
