Reviews & Testimonials

Words that motivate us!

Laura Henderson

The Perfect Way to See Morocco

This was the 8 days trip with Desert Excursion Morocco I’d hoped for and then some. From the time we were picked up in Casablanca, the tour was very well planned. Chefchaouen was stunning, Fes was vibrant and full of history and the day and night in the Sahara was surreal riding camels into the dunes to watch the sunset is a highlight of my life! The accommodations were clean, comfortable and frequently appealingly quaint. Our guide, Rachid, was wonderful, knowledgeable and had a real love for his country. I can’t speak highly enough of this company it felt like traveling with a friend who just wanted you to love Morocco as much as he does.”

Tobias Schmidt

Authentic, Inspiring, and Seamless

I’ve visited so many places, but this 8 day Moroccan tour was one of the most enriching tours I’ve ever experienced. Desert Excursion Morocco took us on a tour, but gave us an experience that felt very personal. The itinerary was a mélange ancient cities, mountains capes, the silence of the desert and the chaos of Marrakech in the most delightful way. The desert camp in Merzouga exceeded all expectations luxury with a side of tradition beneath a blanket of stars. I loved how seamlessly everything was coordinated, and the attention to the little things they did for us. It had felt real, and it had flowed effortlessly.

Very Important Things to Know Before You Go

8 Days Morocco Tour

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.
