Morocco Travel Guide for Australian and Canadian Travelers: Flight Times and Best Months

Australian and Canadian citizens need no visa for Morocco (tourist stays up to 90 days), but both face genuinely long journeys — 20+ hours from Australia via a Middle Eastern or European hub, and 8–12 hours from Canada depending on the city and connection — which makes a longer itinerary the better way to justify the trip.

Getting There From Australia

There's no direct route; expect one or two connections via hubs like Dubai, Doha, Istanbul or a major European city, with total travel time typically 22–28 hours door to door depending on your home city and routing. Given this, we'd steer Australian travelers firmly toward our longer itineraries rather than a short trip that doesn't offset the travel time.

Getting There From Canada

Toronto and Montreal have reasonable connections via European hubs (Paris, Madrid) with total journey times often under 12 hours including a single connection — meaningfully more convenient than the Australian route, closer to the UK experience in practice.

Visa and Entry

Both Australian and Canadian passport holders enter Morocco visa-free for tourist stays up to 90 days — see our complete visa requirements guide.

Making the Long Flight Worth It

Given the distance involved, especially from Australia, we recommend our 13 day or 15 day tour for travelers coming this far — enough time to properly recover from jet lag on arrival and see the full range of what Morocco offers, rather than a short trip that spends a disproportionate share of total travel time in transit.

Timing Around Seasons

Since Australia's seasons are reversed relative to Morocco's, Australian winter (June–August) actually lines up with Morocco's hot summer, while Australian summer (December–February) lines up with Morocco's mild, cooler winter — worth factoring into when you book relative to Australian school holidays or leave allowances.
