Morocco Tours from Canada — Booked the Canadian Way

No. Canadian passport holders can enter Morocco visa-free for stays up to 90 days. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry. No advance paperwork is required from Canada.

Yes — Royal Air Maroc operates a direct nonstop flight from Montreal (YUL) to Casablanca (CMN), seasonal year-round, taking around 7 hours. From every other Canadian city, you'll connect once: through Montreal (Royal Air Maroc), Paris (Air France), London (British Airways/Air Canada), Frankfurt (Lufthansa), or Amsterdam (KLM).

Gateway2Morocco's private Morocco tours start at CA$2,925 per person for the 8-day Erg Chigaga desert expedition. Most 9 to 11 day tours run CA$3,295 to CA$4,025 per person. The 13 to 14 day grand tours run CA$4,755 to CA$5,120 per person. All prices are CAD per person, include private driver, licensed guides, all entrance fees, daily breakfast, and airport transfers in Morocco. International flights from Canada are not included.

BPCPA licensing means your booking is protected by British Columbia's Travel Assurance Fund. Your payments are held in a regulated trust account. You have a Canadian regulator to escalate to if anything goes wrong. Booking directly with an offshore operator means none of those protections apply — you're relying on Moroccan civil law and a foreign jurisdiction for any dispute.

Interac e-Transfer (most popular for Canadian clients), Canadian credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, AMEX), and Canadian wire transfers. All transactions in CAD with no foreign-exchange surprises between deposit and final payment.

Yes. As a Canadian-registered travel agency we issue invoices that meet CRA requirements for business expense reporting and corporate travel reimbursement.

Yes. Morocco is one of the most politically stable countries in North Africa and a longstanding ally of Canada. Global Affairs Canada maintains a standard "exercise normal precautions" advisory. On a private tour with a vetted driver and licensed guides, the most common issue is petty pickpocketing in crowded medinas — exactly as it would be in any major European city.

Yes — strongly recommended for any Canadian travelling internationally. Provincial health coverage (OHIP, MSP, RAMQ etc.) does not cover medical emergencies abroad. We can recommend Canadian providers (TuGo, Manulife, Blue Cross, RBC) when you book. Trip-cancellation coverage is also worth carrying for any pre-paid international booking.

Morocco is 4 hours ahead of Eastern Time (ET), 7 hours ahead of Pacific Time (PT). Morocco does NOT observe daylight saving the same way Canada does, so the gap shifts by an hour at certain times of year. We pace your first day to absorb the time change comfortably.

For spring (March–May) departures, book 4–6 months ahead — these are our peak Canadian booking months and accommodation fills up. For winter (December–February) Sahara escapes, 3–4 months ahead is usually fine. For summer Atlantic coast or shoulder-season trips, 2–3 months is workable. Last-minute bookings (under 6 weeks) are possible but limit accommodation choice.

Yes — all of the above. Morocco is a Muslim country so halal is the default. Vegetarian and gluten-free are easy to accommodate at every meal. Kosher requires specific arrangements (we work with kosher-certified providers in Casablanca and Marrakech for our Jewish Heritage tour clients). Just tell us when you book.

Yes — many of our Canadian clients book exactly that. We pace these tours with shorter daily drives, hotel stays with elevators, swimming pools for kids, and accommodation that suits both grandparents and toddlers. We can also arrange car seats, stroller-friendly routing, and child-friendly meal options.
