About this trip
Eight days through Morocco's imperial cities and into the desert, covering Casablanca, Fes and Marrakech alongside a night camped in the Sahara and a run through the Atlas Mountains.
The route is built to show the country's range — old medinas and city life, then dramatic gorges, valleys and dunes. You're guided by local official guides in each place, with a group and a fixed itinerary rather than time to wander on your own.
Accommodation is 4-star throughout, so it's a comfortable way to see a lot of the country in a short time rather than a rough-and-ready desert trip.
What you'll do
- Explore the medina and souks of Fes
- Sleep in a Berber tent camp in the Sahara Desert
- Cross the Atlas Mountains
- Wander Marrakech's old city
- See Casablanca
- Local official guides in each location
- Guiding is bilingual, in English and Spanish
- Passports must be valid for at least 6 months covering your whole stay, and passport details are needed 45 days before departure
- Meknes is currently closed for renovation and not visited, and the Kasbah of Taourirt in Ouarzazate can only be seen from outside
Worth it if you want immersive cultural storytelling and desert experiences with solid logistics. Think twice if you're fussy about hotel quality or spice levels.
- Guide Hassan consistently brought Moroccan history and traditions alive through storytelling; drivers Mohamed and skilled transportation team earned repeated praise.
- Sahara desert evenings were genuinely memorable; sunset experiences and desert excursions were repeatedly highlighted as trip highlights across reviews.
- Hotels described as average, cosy, or clean but not exceptional; food occasionally too spice-heavy for some palates, so manage expectations accordingly.
- Eight-day pace felt unhurried with personal exploration time; group of 14 bonded well, suggesting good social mix and manageable group size.
