Question 1

How long a layover do I need at CMN?

Accepted Answer

Five hours minimum between landing and your next departure. That covers the drive into the city each way — about 40 minutes in normal traffic — plus real time at two or three stops and a conservative buffer back through security.

Question 2

Can we visit the Hassan II Mosque between flights?

Accepted Answer

The exterior and oceanfront esplanade, always. The interior only on the official guided tour, which runs on fixed slots with none around Friday midday — send us your flight times and we'll check whether a slot fits. Tickets are 140 MAD per foreign adult.

Question 3

What happens to our luggage?

Accepted Answer

Bring it along — the vehicle is exclusively yours for the layover, so your bags ride with you between the airport and the city.

Question 4

How much does a layover tour cost?

Accepted Answer

From 2,600 MAD per vehicle for up to 5 guests — per vehicle, not per person. Groups of 6–9 ride a minibus for an extra 2,000 MAD. Your driver tracks your incoming flight, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before the tour.

Question 5

What's the minimum layover you'll accept at Casablanca Mohammed V?

Accepted Answer

Five hours between scheduled landing and departure. Under that, the arithmetic of immigration queues, the roughly 40-minute drive each way and a safe check-in return doesn't work — stay airside. With 5–6 hours you'll see the Hassan II Mosque and the Corniche; 7+ hours adds the Habous quarter or the Old Medina.

Question 6

What do we do with our luggage?

Accepted Answer

If your bags are checked through to your final destination — the usual case on a single ticket — you carry nothing. If you must collect them, they ride in the locked vehicle with you for the whole tour; you're never separated from them.

Question 7

Do we need a visa to leave the airport?

Accepted Answer

Many nationalities enter Morocco visa-free for up to 90 days, and leaving the airport means clearing passport control like any arriving visitor. Entry rules change and depend on your passport, so check the current requirements with your airline or the Moroccan consulate before booking — we can't verify eligibility for you.

Question 8

Can we go inside the Hassan II Mosque on a layover?

Accepted Answer

Only if an official guided tour slot lines up with your window — the interior is accessible solely on the foundation's seasonal slot grid, with no tours over Friday midday. Tell us your flight times and we'll check honestly; if no slot fits, the exterior esplanade over the Atlantic is still the single best stop in Casablanca.

Question 9

What if our inbound flight is delayed?

Accepted Answer

We track your flight number, so the driver adjusts to your actual arrival at no charge. The route then compresses — the return buffer to the airport is the one thing we never shorten. We plan drop-off in line with your airline's recommended check-in time, typically three hours before an international departure.

Question 10

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

From 2,600 MAD per vehicle — up to 5 guests, private air-conditioned minivan, arrivals-hall pickup with a name sign, and flight tracking included. Groups of 6–9 ride a minibus (+2,000 MAD). Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the tour.
