About Morocco Tours: your guide to the best private trips

For a first visit, many travellers combine Marrakech with a Sahara desert trip. The 3-day Marrakech to Merzouga tour is the classic option, and the 4-day tour is more relaxed. If you have more time, you can add Fes and the imperial cities in a tailor-made tour.

One day is enough for a day trip such as Ourika Valley or Ouzoud Waterfalls. For the Sahara, plan at least 2 days, and 3 or 4 days if you prefer a slower pace. A week or more lets you combine Marrakech, the desert and the imperial cities.

Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are usually the most comfortable seasons. Summer is very hot in Marrakech and the desert, and winter nights in the Sahara can be cold.

Morocco is generally considered a welcoming destination for visitors. As anywhere, take normal precautions: watch your belongings in crowded places, agree prices in advance and follow your guide's advice. Check your government's travel advice before you go.

Dress modestly, especially outside tourist areas and when you visit mosques or religious sites: cover shoulders and knees. Light, loose clothes work best in the heat, and a scarf is useful for the sun and the dust. Bring warm layers for the desert night.

Entry rules depend on your nationality and can change, so check with official sources or your embassy before you travel. We cannot give visa advice.

The Moroccan dirham (MAD). Bring some cash for markets, tips and small purchases, since cards are not accepted everywhere, especially outside the cities.

Arabic and Amazigh (Berber) are the main languages, and French is widely spoken. English and Spanish are common in tourist areas. Our guides speak English and Spanish.

A private tour gives you your own driver and guide, flexible stops and your own pace, which suits couples, families and small groups. Group tours can cost less per person but follow a fixed schedule.

Not comfortably. Merzouga and the Erg Chebbi dunes are about 560 km from Marrakech, so we recommend at least 2 days. For one day, our day trips to the Ourika Valley, Ouzoud Waterfalls and Ait Ben Haddou are a better choice.
