Frequently asked
Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) are the most comfortable seasons across most of the country, with mild days and cool evenings. Summer is hot inland — Marrakech, Fes and the desert can be very warm — so the Atlantic coast and the High Atlas mountains are more pleasant then. Winter is cool and ideal for the imperial cities, though desert nights are cold and mountain passes can see snow.
It depends on how much ground you want to cover. A single city such as Marrakech or Fes works well over 2–3 days, while a Sahara excursion from Marrakech typically needs at least 3 days because of the driving distances. To combine the imperial cities, the Atlas mountains and the desert at a relaxed pace, allow a week or more. Morocco is large and overland travel between regions takes time, so it is better to see fewer places well than to rush.
Both work well — it comes down to your priorities. Private tours give you full control over the pace, route and departure times, which suits families, special interests or anyone wanting flexibility. Group tours are usually more affordable and can be a sociable way to travel. Our tours are private by default, so the itinerary, vehicle and guide are yours alone and can be reshaped to your interests.
For sightseeing in the medinas and at major monuments, an official, licensed local guide is strongly recommended and in some sites effectively required — they know the layout, the history and how to navigate the souks. For multi-region road trips you will also have a driver-guide. Booking through a registered operator means your guides are licensed and insured, which avoids the unofficial guides who sometimes approach visitors near medina entrances.
Pack light, breathable layers: lightweight clothing for hot days plus a warm layer for cool evenings, especially in the mountains and desert. Comfortable closed walking shoes are essential for the uneven medina streets. Morocco is a Muslim country, so modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees is respectful, particularly at religious sites. Also bring sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen), a reusable water bottle and any personal medication.
