From Tuesday (15 June), tourists will be able to travel to Morocco if they can provide evidence of having been vaccinated against Covid-19, or of a negative PCR test taken up to 48 hours prior to departure.

The rules apply to all EU countries, bar Lithuania, as well as the UK, IS, Canada, Russia and China, and any UN member state not on the Moroccan ministry of health’s B list.

The Moroccan National Tourism Office’s (MNTO) aim is to make the UK government’s green list; more than nine million people in Morocco have had their first jabs out of a target population of 25 million (36%).

According to the MNTO, Morocco has just 2,500 active cases of Covid-19.

Jamal Kilito, MNTO director UK and Ireland, said: “As we emerge from the pandemic, we are looking forward to welcoming travellers to the kingdom of Morocco where they can enjoy a truly exceptional tourism experience with peace of mind.

"With secure health and safety measures in place, we are confident we can rebuild our tourism industry and provide travellers with the warm Moroccan welcome they have always enjoyed and we encourage as many visitors as possible to rediscover this magnificent destination this summer."
