Why Morocco
Why travellers from Newfoundland and Labrador love Morocco.
Rabat rewards Newfoundland and Labrador travellers with everything a Canadian winter is not — a mild, breezy Atlantic capital of palm-lined boulevards, the Kasbah of the Udayas, Hassan Tower and the gardens of Chellah — within a single, easy time zone of home and just an hour beyond Montréal's nonstop into Casablanca.
Getting there

St. John's is one of the closest North-American points to Morocco; connect via Montréal or a European hub into Casablanca, then an hour onward to Rabat — often inside 11–13 hours.

Rabat is about 4.5 hours ahead of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada (Morocco stays on UTC+1 year-round), which makes for an easy, eastward adjustment.
When to go
