Is ten days enough to see Morocco properly?
It is enough to see the desert and the northern cities without living in the car. What it does not cover is the far south and the Atlantic coast below Essaouira, which need their own trip.
Where does the tour start and end?
It starts in Marrakech and can end in Marrakech, Fes or Tangier depending on your return flight. Tell us your flights when you book and the route is arranged around them.
How many nights are spent in the desert?
One or two, depending on the version you choose, in a tented camp among the Erg Chebbi dunes with a camel trek in at sunset and out at sunrise.
Can the itinerary be changed?
Yes. It runs as a private tour, so cities can be swapped, nights added in Fes or Chefchaouen, and stops built in for hiking, cooking classes or a rest day.
What is the best month for a 10-day Morocco tour?
April, May, September and October give the best balance, with warm days in the north and bearable heat in the Sahara. Winter works too, but expect cold nights in the desert and rain in the Rif around Chefchaouen.
