Reviews & Testimonials

Words that motivate us!

Olivia Carter

Absolutely Amazing Experience

We had a magical time on our 7-day Fes to Marrakech trip with Mohamed. He was friendly and we felt comfortable and safe from the time he got us. His familiarity with the local culture, off-the-beaten-path sights, and history was really invaluable! We really enjoyed the desert camp in Merzouga and Mohamed was there to make sure everything went just as planned. He could not have been more accommodating of us and was so kind and professional and more fun. It felt like being with a friend who really cares.” Highly recommended!

Ethan Xavi

The Best Moroccan Adventure

My trip highlight was traveling across Morocco with Mohamed. He is not merely a driver or guide— he is a genuine exponent of Moroccan hospitality. All of our stops, including the cedar forests and the dunes of the Sahara, were well-planned and stress-free. Mohamed’s warm personality and many riches made each day special. He told us local stories and played great music, taking us to places we’d never have discovered ourselves. By end of the journey, it was more like family, less like clients. If you are booking a tour in Morocco, request Mohamed. You won’t regret it!

Very Important Things to Know Before You Go

One week Morocco itinerary from Fes

Pack for Different Climates

Morocco offers diverse weather across regions. Expect hot days in the desert, cool nights in the mountains, and moderate temps along the coast. Bring layers, a scarf or hat for sun protection, and a warm jacket for cooler evenings.

Cash is King in Rural Areas

While cities accept cards, many villages, desert stops, and local shops don’t. Bring enough Moroccan dirhams, especially for snacks, souvenirs, and tips along the way.

Be Respectful of Local Culture

Morocco is a Muslim country. Dress modestly, especially in rural areas and when visiting religious sites. Women may prefer wearing scarves in more conservative towns.

Desert Essentials

For the camel ride and desert stay, wear comfortable pants (not shorts), closed shoes or sandals, and bring a small backpack with water, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a flashlight.

Internet May Be Limited

Wi-Fi is available in most hotels and riads, but don’t expect strong connections everywhere especially in the desert. Download maps and entertainment in advance.

Local SIM or Roaming Plan

If you need reliable communication or internet on the go, consider buying a local SIM card or ensuring your mobile plan covers Morocco.

Expect Some Long Drives

Morocco is a large country and this tour covers a lot. Enjoy the scenery, bring snacks, and consider a travel pillow for comfort on the road.

Tipping is Appreciated

Tipping your driver/guide, hotel staff, and local guides is a common and appreciated gesture in Morocco. Keep small bills for this purpose.

Be Open to Adventure

Part of what makes Morocco magical is its unpredictability. Be flexible, open-minded, and ready to experience real moments whether it’s dancing under desert stars or sipping mint tea with a nomadic family.

Stay Hydrated and Mind What You Eat

Traveling through different climates and regions especially the desert can dehydrate you quickly. Always carry a bottle of water (your driver can help you find clean bottled water on the way). When it comes to food, Moroccan cuisine is delicious, but it may be spiced differently than you’re used to. To avoid stomach upsets, ease into unfamiliar dishes, avoid raw foods in small roadside places, and consider bringing basic medication like probiotics or anti-nausea tablets just in case.
