Don’t let the heat keep you from exploring the world! Summer temperatures can be extremely high in Morocco (over 40°C), which can make things uncomfortable. It’s essential to use sun protection, wear layers to combat the heat, and drink plenty of water.
verified
Ramadan is an annual month-long festival, during which travel can be a rewarding cultural experience, however some regular services may not be available during the day, such as restaurants or cafes, and occasionally travel can be disrupted by events. Your leader will adjust the itinerary accordingly, but please consider this when selecting your travel dates. You’ll find dates and further information in the ‘Climate and seasonal information’ section of the Essential Trip Information.

There are a couple of long travel days on this trip, particularly the day travelling to the Sahara Desert. Rest stops will be made on the way and you’ll be rewarded with great views on the drive itself.
Itinerary
All the best bits of Morocco, from colourful cities and medinas to the mountains and the desert
If you’re looking for a two-week adventure full of Morocco’s highlights, this trip is for you! From sacred sites and bustling medinas to the expanse of the Sahara, you’ll be hitting all the popular hotspots and stopping for air in some of the country’s best scenery.

This trip was incredible! Morocco is a place I’ve wanted to go for to for years and I have zero regrets! I felt safe throughout the trip and because of our amazing host, Adnane, we were able to do such incredible activities and really mesh into local life in Morocco. I don’t often visit the same place twice but I will definitely be back in Morocco! Thanks to Intrepid and Adnane for an incredibly organised and life changing trip!

The Best of Morocco trip was unforgettable! Ayoub Saket was an exceptional tour leader—insightful, warm, and endlessly energetic. From Chefchaouen’s blue charm to camel rides in the Sahara, canyon treks, a fabulous homestay in Aroumd, and vibrant medinas, every moment was magic. A perfect mix of culture, adventure, and connection!

I thoroughly enjoyed the 15-day Moroccan trip. Our tour guide, Mohammed, was exceptionally knowledgeable and kind. I did find that the travel days could be quite long, and I was often eager to reach our next destination to relax. Despite this, the trip is quite well paced. There is a recommended tipping kitty and rates for the leader and the driver, which I found a bit expensive. Expect to pay an additional (minimum) 200€ for tips, which is not included in the trip cost. Overall, a memorable experience that I would recommend!
