Perth travelers have a practical advantage — Qantas flies daily to London Heathrow and several times a week to Paris CDG. From London Stansted and Paris Beauvais, Ryanair connects directly to Fez, Marrakech, and Casablanca. This opens a Europe stopover option that works well for Australian travelers wanting to combine Morocco with a few days in Spain, France, or Portugal before crossing into North Africa.

Flying from Sydney felt like a big journey, but everything was smooth from the connection to arrival. We landed in Casablanca in the morning and the whole trip flowed perfectly from day one.
We came from Melbourne via Doha and it was much easier than expected. Morocco felt completely different from anywhere we’ve been, and the pace of the tour after arrival was exactly right.
We added a short stop in Europe before Morocco, which worked really well from Perth. The whole itinerary was seamless, and arriving in Fes felt like stepping into another world.
