Private Morocco holidays and Sahara Desert tours for British travellers.

Are you planning a holiday to Morocco from the UK? With direct flights from London, Manchester and Birmingham and just a few hours from Britain, Morocco is one of the most rewarding short-haul destinations for a cultural break or a Sahara Desert adventure.

From the colourful souks of Marrakech and the historic medina of Fes to the blue streets of Chefchaouen and the golden dunes of Merzouga, Morocco offers an extraordinary variety of experiences within a single trip.

At Tour To Morocco, we specialise in private and tailor-made Morocco tours for British travellers, designed around your dates, interests and preferred accommodation. From short 3-day desert breaks to complete 21-day journeys, we help you discover the real Morocco at your own pace.

Why Visit Morocco from the UK?

Morocco is an ideal destination for British travellers seeking culture, adventure and warmth without an exhausting long-haul flight. Within one holiday you can wander ancient medinas, cross the High Atlas Mountains, ride a camel across the Sahara and relax on the Atlantic coast.

With a private tour, you travel only with your own party and a professional English-speaking driver, so there's no need to organise transport and accommodation in every city. It's an easy, comfortable way to see a lot of Morocco in one trip, whatever the length of your holiday.
