MONTREAL — Transat has launched packages, tours and excursions to Morocco.

The new land product complements Air Transat’s Marrakech service, announced last month. From June 12 to Oct. 24, 2024, Air Transat’s new and exclusive nonstop flights will operate twice a week between Montreal and Marrakech on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The service will then continue once a week from November until April 20 on Saturdays.

Joseph Adamo, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer at Transat says the tour operator will draw on its proven expertise to highlight Morocco’s must-sees, offering a unique immersion in the country’s cultural and historical richness.

“Travelling is much more than a simple trip, it is an adventure that broadens our horizons,” said Adamo. “With our new product offering in Morocco, we are paving the way for unforgettable memories and authentic discoveries. Morocco has never been more accessible to Canadians, and we are delighted to accompany them on this adventure.”

HOTELS & RIADS IN AGADIR AND MARRAKESH

Transat has a variety of accommodation options in Marrakesh and Agadir, with breakfast, half-board or all-inclusive options.

For seaside atmosphere with golden beaches and views of the Atlantic Ocean, Transat has accommodations in Agadir.

Meanwhile the company’s hotel offerings at the centre of Marrakesh offer total immersion in the heart of Morocco. Travellers can also opt for properties in the Marrakesh Palm Grove, for a more serene experience.
