Can I fly direct to Marrakech from Gibraltar, Malaga, Seville or Jerez?
Short answer
Yes, from Malaga and Seville, both through the year. Jerez and Gibraltar have no flights to Marrakech; UK passport holders need no visa for stays of up to 90 days.
Detailed answer
Which airports fly to Marrakech
- Malaga: all year, with extra flights in some seasons.
- Seville: all year.
- Jerez: no flights.

Morocco is outside the Schengen area, so there are passport checks on leaving Spain and on arrival, and Aena advises arriving three hours before departure.
