Fifty-five dollars gets you January's cheapest fare, and even the London and Paris routes run under a hundred at 3h 30m and 3h 10m. What you're paying for beyond the ticket is the medina, the souks, the hammam culture, a density of experience Gueliz's modern edge only sharpens by contrast. Land at Menara's single immigration hall in the evening rush and you'll queue for it, but a backpacker budget around 23 dollars a day makes the wait feel like a fair trade. Visa-free entry for up to 90 days for most Western passports means the paperwork, at least, asks nothing of you.
