Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Tangier, Morocco
Here is what to know before booking a flight to Tangier from Montreal.
From Montreal, fares to Tangier usually run between $1050 and $1700. The best fare spotted recently is $863 (about 27% below the typical price).
Tangier sits where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic, a port city that has drawn writers, artists, and traders for centuries. Its whitewashed medina tumbles down toward the water, and from its heights you can see across the strait to Spain on a clear day. Climb through the Kasbah, wander the medina, and let this crossroads of two seas and two continents work its charm!
When to go
Spring and autumn are the most pleasant, with warm days, mild evenings, and fewer crowds than the summer peak. Summer is hot and busy as Moroccans and Europeans flock to the coast. Winter is cool, breezy, and occasionally wet, but still mild by Canadian standards.
Getting there from Montreal
There are no nonstop flights from Québec City or Montréal, so plan a connection, most often through Casablanca or a European hub such as Paris or Madrid. The Atlantic crossing is usually flown overnight, followed by a shorter hop up to Morocco's northern tip. Ibn Battouta Airport is about 15 to 20 minutes from the city center by road.
What to see and do
- Wander the medina and the Kasbah
- Stand at the Cap Spartel lighthouse
- Explore the Caves of Hercules
- Take in the lively Grand Socco square
Good to know before you go
The currency is the Moroccan dirham, and cash is handy for the medina and small cafes while cards work in hotels and larger shops. To get around, use petits taxis for short trips and apps like Careem, Yango, and inDrive, since there is no Uber in Morocco; ask for the meter or agree on a fare before you go. Arabic is the main language, with French widely spoken and Spanish and some English common given the nearness to Spain. Tangier is generally easygoing, but ignore unofficial guides who approach you in the medina, dress modestly, and keep your valuables secure in crowded lanes.
