Introducing Morocco

Morocco is a vast country, extending from its Mediterranean shores in the north to the desert wonderland of the Sahara in the south. Spend an afternoon sipping tea on a Marrakech rooftop, take a camel ride through the desert, or hike in the snow-topped High Atlas mountains; whatever you choose, you'll love experiencing everything Morocco has to offer. 

Where should I go in Morocco?
From the hustle and bustle of Marrakech and Fes to photogenic Chefchaouen and the dunes of the Sahara Desert, Morocco has an incredibly diverse blend of geography, climate, and culture. Each region has its own unique array of activities for travelers to choose from, as well as specific weather patterns to be aware of. Learn more

When is the best time to visit? 
Morocco is a year-round destination, though each of its regions has an ideal time to go. Tangier in northern Morocco, for example, has a pleasant Mediterranean climate year-round, while travelers interested in experiencing the Sahara will want to stick to a trip in Spring or Fall to avoid extreme temperatures. Learn more

Things to Do in Morocco
 
Morocco is full of opportunities for both adventure and relaxation. Take a kitesurfing lesson on the Atlantic Coast, go mountain biking in the High Atlas mountains, or spend a day shopping for rugs and antiques in the fantastic markets of Marrakech. Learn more

How many days do I need in Morocco?
7-10 days is a solid amount of time to explore Morocco's and Imperial cities at a moderate pace. With 2 weeks you can spend time hiking in the Atlas Mountains or explore the coast. With under 1 week, it's best to focus your time: explore Casablanca, Chefchaouen, and Fes in the north, or discover Berber traditions in Marrakech & the Sahara desert. Learn more

Getting around Morocco
Private driver-guides are the best way to travel around Morocco, offering travelers both flexibility and peace of mind. Trains and buses connect the larger cities such as Casablanca, Fes, and Marrakech, while the desert area, Atlas mountains, and coastal towns are best accessed as part of a private tour or day trips.

What an incredible trip! Our group of 6 family and friends had the best time in Morocco. First, when we starting booking this trip we were connected with Ali. He did a fantastic job creating the itinerary and answering all of our questions. Then Said was our emergency contact and while we didn’t need to interact much, it was always pleasant and professional. We were LUCKY enough to have two driver guides in Saadane and trainee Hamza. Saadane was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions during the trip and took our safety very seriously. Thank you brother! Hamza was always helping during the trip translating and buying roadside fruit and taking photos (have him take your photos!!!). We all agreed he will make a great guide! Chefchaouen was stunning and Saadane showed us some wonderful spots there. Then on to Fes. Our Riad was A+ and we spent a day with our local guide Mo Mo. He showed us all the historical spots and gave all the details. Then also brought us to all the best spots to shop! On to the desert! The Sahara is breathtakingly beautiful and the guide and experiences we had there I will never forget. Ride the camels and visit the Nomads. You won’t be disappointed. Ait Ben Haddou is a great pit stop on the way to Marrakesh. The Red City is another highlight and the energy in the Medina in undeniable. We got to experience both a walking and food tour with Hanan and it was such a treat to get to know her. She was so fun and I’m so grateful that we got to have deeper conversations on the second tour. She showed us all the great food stalls! Don’t leave Morocco without heading to the Hammam for a scrub! After 10 glorious days we had a tearful goodbye (maybe that was just me). Sending lots of love to our brothers Saadane and Hamza from MN and WI.
