How to Plan Your Trip

When to go, how many days you need, and how to build a route that flows instead of exhausting you.

1. Decide how long you have

Morocco rewards both short and long stays. As a rough guide: 3–4 days is enough for a desert loop from Marrakech; 7 days lets you combine the desert with the imperial cities; and 10–15 days covers the whole country from coast to Sahara at a relaxed pace.

2. Choose your starting city

We start tours from any city — most travellers fly into Marrakech, Fes, Casablanca or Tangier. One-way routes (for example Marrakech to Fes across the desert) are a great way to avoid backtracking.

3. Pick the right season

  • Spring & autumn — the mildest, most comfortable weather.
  • Winter — cool days, cold desert nights and snow in the Atlas.
  • Summer — hot inland; great for the coast and early-morning desert.

4. Travel private, travel flexible

Every tour we run is private, so nothing is fixed in stone. Add a night in the dunes, swap a city, slow down where you love it — just tell us and we'll adjust the route.

5. Get in touch early

The best riads and desert camps book up quickly, especially around December and April. Reaching out a few weeks ahead means we can secure the best places for your dates.
