A Journey Beyond Expectations

Desert Excursion Morocco is the best travel agency. The 7 day trip from Marrakech to Fes was very well organized and our guide Mohamed ensured a smooth and personal experience. Between wandering the maze of colorful souk stalls in Marrakech, camping in nomad tents and riding camels into the sand dunes of Merzouga, every day brought something new and magical. The accommodations were all clean, comfortable and charming, especially the riads and desert camp. Was amazing the cultural experience, the local music, the hospitality! This journey had opened my heart to the beauty and warmth of Morocco.

Morocco’s Magic Captured in 7 Days

This tour has surpassed my expectations! Right from the beginning the team at Desert Excursion Morocco took care of all the details. Our driver and guide, Mohamed, couldn’t have been more knowledgeable and sweet. It was incredibly well-rounded and immersive because one day we were surrounded by historic sites, and the next it was mind-blowing natural wonders, only to end the day engaging with the indigenous culture. Favorites where the kasbahs, the spectacular gorges, but most specially that night in the Sahara it was absolutely amazing. I never felt hurried, and each stop mattered. This tour is very highly recommended if you want a real flavour of Morocco in a short number of days.

Very Important Things to Know Before You Go

Helpful information about Morocco!

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.
