Private Jet Marrakech to Canyon Point

Marrakech to Canyon Point runs to approximately 5,020 nautical miles, a distance comfortably handled by a heavy business jet such as a Gulfstream G550 or Bombardier Global 6000, both offering the range reserves to fly the sector non-stop while cruising in the low-to-mid forties of thousands of feet across the Atlantic and North American legs of the journey. Marrakesh Menara Airport, well accustomed to handling private aviation traffic from Morocco’s tourist capital, offers an efficient departure ahead of the long westbound crossing. On arrival, Page Municipal Airport delivers passengers into Canyon Point, a small northern Arizona town built in the late 1950s around the construction of Glen Canyon Dam. Its reservoir, Lake Powell, now stretches nearly 200 miles through canyons of Navajo sandstone, making it one of the country’s most distinctive houseboating destinations. A short drive from the airfield, Antelope Canyon’s narrow, glowing corridors and the sweeping curve of Horseshoe Bend rank among the most photographed sites in the American Southwest, while the town itself, sitting above 4,300 feet, enjoys dry air and remarkably dark night skies once the sun sets. For travellers arriving from Marrakech, many extend the trip south to Sedona’s red rock country or the Grand Canyon’s South Rim before heading home. The town’s high, dry setting also produces notably clear night skies, a fitting way to close out a long day of travel from North Africa. Many guests continuing on from Marrakech also build in extra time to explore the wider Colorado Plateau, from the hoodoos of Bryce Canyon to the badlands of the Grand Staircase-Escalante.
