Paragliding in Marrakech and Rabat

Paragliding in Morocco: Soar Above **Marrakech** & **Rabat** for the Ultimate Sky-High Adventure Morocco is famous for its bustling souks, ancient medinas, and sweeping Sahara dunes—but the kingdom also hides a sky-high secret. Paragliding in Morocco has exploded onto the adventure-travel scene, offering year-round thermals, dramatic mountain launches, and postcard-perfect views of the High Atlas, Atlantic coastline, and desert horizons. In this guide we zero-in on the two most visitor-friendly launch pads: Marrakech and Rabat. Whether you’re a first-time tandem passenger or an experienced pilot. **Why Morocco Is a Paragliding Paradise** **1. Reliable Weather Windows** Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) deliver silky-smooth thermals, light winds, and minimal rainfall—300 flyable days a year, Morocco treats pilots generously. **2. Diverse Landscapes in One Flight** every launch serves up cinematic contrast you simply won’t find in Europe. **3. Value for Money** Tandem flights start at just 699 MAD in Marrakech and 499 MAD in Rabat, 60% less than comparable packages in the Alps or Canary Islands. **4. Culture & Cuisine Between Flights** Land, roll up your wing, and five minutes later you’re sipping mint tea in an Amazigh village or tasting tagine in the medina—no other flying destination blends adrenaline and culture so effortlessly. Try getting that in the Alps. **Paragliding in Marrakech – Gateway to the High Atlas** **Where We Fly** • Aguergour (45 min southeast of Marrakech, 1 100 m ASL) – Morocco’s most famous site. A huge 800 m vertical basalt face faces north. **Paragliding in Rabat** – Coastal Thermals & Atlantic Breezes Rabat’s coastal position delivers a different flavor: smooth sea-breeze dynamic lift in summer and punchy thermals over rolling farmland in winter. **FAQ** **Do I Need a License for a Tandem Flight?** **No.** Passengers fly with certified instructors; just bring closed shoes and a spirit of adventure. **Can I Bring My Own Wing?** **Yes,** but you MUST obtain an individual permit. **What Should I Wear?** Light hiking boots, sunglasses, long sleeves (sun + scratch protection). Winter flights: add a light fleece; altitude gain above take-off can be 1 500 m, so temps drop 10 °C. **How Far in Advance Should I Book?** Weekends and Moroccan public holidays fill fast—reserve at least 24 h ahead online. **Is Paragliding in Morocco Safe?** **Yes,** our pilots are professional and certified and we use well maintained equipment to ensure your safety. **Ready to Fly?** Paragliding in Morocco marries African landscapes with European safety standards—and does it at a price that leaves room for a leather pouf or two in the souk. Whether you choose Marrakech for its Atlas backdrop or Rabat for its Atlantic sea-breeze. **Stop dreaming about flying—book your tandem adventure today for Marrakech or Rabat.**
