What is the sleeping arrangement like in the Sahara Desert camp?

You will spend one magical night in a luxury desert camp in the Erg Chebbi dunes. These camps typically feature comfortable, private tents with beds and amenities, often including en-suite bathrooms depending on the camp’s luxury level.

what should I wear in Morocco?

It’s best to dress modestly, particularly in rural or religious areas. Opt for lightweight, breathable clothing to stay comfortable. While women don’t have to wear a headscarf, it’s respectful to cover your shoulders and knees.

 Generally, yes, especially in bustling areas where food turnover is high. We suggest trying local dishes at the trusted spots we recommend in our itineraries. And remember, bottled water is a safer choice than tap water.

What is the best time of year to visit Morocco?

It depends on why you want to visit Morocco and what you want to see. But, generally, the sweet spots are spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) when the weather is just right across the country. Our tours run all year long, and each season brings its own special desert experience.

Is it appropriate to take photos of locals?

It’s always best to ask for permission before snapping photos of people. In markets and public squares, a friendly gesture goes a long way, and some folks might appreciate a small tip.

We’ve traveled a lot, but this 5-day Morocco tour from Tangier to Marrakech stands out as one of the best. The route is very well-designed, combining cities, nature, and desert adventure. We particularly loved Chefchaouen, it’s like a fairytale with all the shades of blue. Fes was fascinating, full of history, and Merzouga was simply magical. Sleeping under the stars in the desert camp is something we’ll never forget. The organization was smooth, the driver knowledgeable and always punctual. We felt safe, cared for, and inspired by everything we saw. This trip was worth every penny!

What an amazing experience! In only 5 days we felt like we had traveled across different worlds the Mediterranean vibes of Tangier, the mystical blue Chefchaouen, the cultural heart of Fes, and finally the magical Sahara Desert before reaching Marrakech. The camel ride at sunset in Merzouga was unforgettable, and we enjoyed the Gnawa music in Khamlia village. The driver was professional and always made us feel safe, even on the mountain roads. The accommodations were excellent and the food tasty, especially in the desert. This tour exceeded our expectations and made us fall in love with Morocco.
