Travelling to Merzouga from Hong Kong
Travelling from Hong Kong? Here are the essentials for your trip to Merzouga.
Flights from Hong Kong
There are no direct flights; fly one-stop via Doha, Dubai or Istanbul to Casablanca or Marrakech, or connect through a European hub. Allow about 17–22 hours of travel each way.
Entry rules
HKSAR passport holders need no visa for stays of up to 90 days. Carry a passport valid for at least 6 months.
Money
Prices in HK$ are a guide; the 15% deposit is charged in euros by PayPal and the rest is paid in Merzouga. HK$1 ≈ 1.24 MAD.
Seasons
Christmas, Lunar New Year, Easter and the October Golden Week are popular times for Hong Kong guests. Spring and autumn bring the best desert weather.
Good to know
Morocco is 7 hours behind Hong Kong (8 during Ramadan). Bring an adapter: Hong Kong Type G plugs don’t fit Moroccan Type C/E sockets.
Getting the shot
Sunrise and sunset give the best light; keep sand away from your camera with a zip bag.
