Morocco Tour Packages

The classic loop links the imperial cities of Marrakech and Fez with a journey over the Atlas Mountains to the Sahara for a night under the stars, often adding the coastal town of Essaouira or blue Chefchaouen.

A few practical notes make any Morocco trip smoother. The currency is the Moroccan dirham (MAD), and Arabic and Berber are official; French is widely spoken, and English in tourism. A private car and driver is the classic way to tour, with a good train linking the main northern cities. Pack for the season and carry a little local cash for markets, tips and small vendors.

Morocco occupies the north-western corner of Africa, with Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts, the Rif and Atlas mountain ranges, and the Sahara Desert stretching to the south and east.

Morocco's climate varies from Mediterranean on the coast to continental inland and desert in the south, with hot summers and cool nights.

The best times to visit Morocco are spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November), with warm days and comfortable conditions for the cities, mountains and desert alike. Summer is very hot inland and in the Sahara, while winter brings snow to the High Atlas.

Morocco blends Arab, Berber (Amazigh) and European influences into a rich and distinctive culture. Islam shapes daily life, the medinas hum with craft traditions, and hospitality — centred on mint tea — is a point of national pride.

A little courtesy goes a long way in Morocco. Dress modestly, ask before photographing people (some will expect a small tip), use your right hand, and be prepared to bargain good-naturedly in the souks.

Do dress respectfully at religious and cultural sites, ask before photographing people, carry small change for tips and markets, and stay hydrated. Don't drink tap water unless it is confirmed safe, flash valuables in crowded areas, or rush — the best trips here are unhurried ones.
