What our travelers say about their experiences
10-Day Tour of Morocco with Aziz
"Our 10-day tour included visits to Rabat, Chefchaouen, Fes, Meknes, Merzouga, Dades Valley and Marrakech and was the tour of a lifetime. Aziz, our driver throughout the full 10 days, was outstanding and provided personal attention to every detail along the journey. He was highly reliable, patient, personable, answered our many questions and took care of our every need. Parts of the tour were able to be personalized as he learned our interests. Aziz also knew the best photo spots and arranged for outstanding tour guides in the Imperial Cities. His music selection throughout the drive was both cultural and entertaining. We felt safe throughout the entire journey."
The most amazing trip to Morocco!
"Went with my family for the 10 day tour and it was unreal! The places they book for your accommodations are absolutely breath taking! Always felt really safe and looked after having Ibrahim as our driver. He also went out of his way to make arrangements at the riad we stayed at in Dades Gorge for my brothers birthday. Ended up being a really lovely and special night getting to experience a traditional Morrocan/Berber birthday celebration. We were unfortunately unable to stay 2 nights in Chefchauoen due to an accommodation conflict so we chose an extra day in Merzouga and got the pleasure of meeting Ibrahim’s family (also totally recommend an extra night in the Merzouga if you can)..."
Highlight of our Morocco trip!
"My friend and I traveled to Morocco for 10 days from Casablanca to Marrakech via chefchaouen and Sahara desert with Morocco camel trekking. Mustapha and Mohamed was really great, professional and knowledgeable about the region. On the everyday was so amazing to watch how drastically the landscape of each region changed. On route, we made stops along the way were Mustapha would highlight and enlighten us about the area. He was constantly checking on our comfort and well being, making us feel really safe while traveling. If you are planning to visit Morocco, I recommend you this big company!"

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our Morocco Desert Tour. Whether you're wondering about logistics, comfort, or what's included, we've got you covered.
Yes, 10 days is enough time to visit Morocco’s major highlights at a comfortable pace. With a 10-day itinerary, you can see Casablanca, Rabat, Chefchaouen, Fes, the Merzouga Desert, Todra Gorge, Dades Gorge, Ait Ben Haddou, and Marrakech. You will not see every region in depth, but you get a strong mix of cities, desert, mountains, and cultural sites that gives you a clear feel for the country.
The best months for a 10-day Morocco tour are April and May in spring and September and October in fall. During these months, daytime temperatures are usually mild and pleasant in both cities and the desert, so walking tours and outdoor activities are more comfortable. Morocco is a year-round destination, but summer can be very hot in the interior and desert, and winter nights in the mountains and Sahara can be cold.
This itinerary covers Morocco’s main highlights. You visit Casablanca, Rabat, Chefchaouen, the Roman ruins of Volubilis, Meknes, Fes, Ifrane, the cedar forest, Midelt, Ziz Valley, Merzouga and the Sahara Desert, Rissani, Erfoud, Todra Gorges, Dades Valley, Rose Valley, Skoura, Ouarzazate, Ait Ben Haddou, the High Atlas Mountains, and Marrakech. The route combines cities, mountains, desert, and historic sites.
The 10-day tour typically includes airport pickup and drop-off, private air-conditioned transport, a driver who speaks English (and a local guide in Fes and Marrakech), 9 nights of accommodation with breakfast, dinner in the desert camp in Merzouga and in Dades, a camel trek, and sandboarding. It does not include lunches and dinners in Casablanca, Chefchaouen, Fes, and Marrakech; drinks; entrance fees where needed; or tips. These extra costs depend on your choices during the trip.
It is best to book your 10-day Morocco itinerary as early as you can, especially if you are traveling in spring or fall when demand is high. Early booking gives you a better choice of riads, desert camps, and room types, and makes it easier to match your preferred travel dates. To confirm your tour, you pay a small deposit by PayPal, Wise, or bank transfer, then pay the remaining balance in cash to your driver or guide on the first day.
You’ll enjoy a sunset camel ride from Merzouga to your desert camp, crossing the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi. Your experience also includes an overnight stay in a standard or deluxe desert camp, dinner, evening traditional Berber music, and unforgettable stargazing under the clear Sahara sky.
