This marks the first-ever direct flight between Montréal and Agadir, as well as the first direct connection between North America and southern Morocco - where a hidden gem awaits travelers. Described as one of the most beautiful bays in the world, Agadir sits along Morocco’s western Atlantic edge with a 10-kilometre beachfront, palm-lined promenades, and more than 300 days of sunshine annually. With its almost omnipresent sunshine, Agadir has earned a reputation as an exceptional holiday destination within the country. Styled more like a Mediterranean resort, Agadir is much different than how many travelers might conceptualize Morocco.
