Flying into Morroco
A buddy and I are planning on flying into Morroco (with guns) on our way to Burkina Faso. If possible we would like to stay a couple of days in Morroco. Does anyone know if they allow guns into or through Morroco?

Dall85I would call the Morroco Consulate and ask them what the rules for transiting with firearms. Also ask if there are services to store your firearms in a bonded, secure manner.

collectorThey do partridge hunts and wild boar hunts in Morocco so the processes and procedures are in place for temporary firearm importation into the country.
I've tried calling the consulate four times already, I'm just having trouble talking to someone.

The information below is posted by Timaticweb, which is what the airlines use when checking details on customs, visa etc. It states a permit is required which can be issued on arrival. I would still confirm with the Embassy if you are able to.
