Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Travel by camel across the dramatic red dunes of the Sahara and spend the night camping under North African stars.
Spend some time in one of Morocco’s most picturesque towns, like the 11th-century kasbah of Ait Benhaddou, and participate in a painting class with a local artist.
Rub shoulders with the locals in Todra Valley, Volubilis and Fes and gain a deeper understanding of sacred sites and the history and culture of Morocco with local and passionate guides.
Have lunch at the Amal Association in Marrakech – a non-profit organisation empowering local women through employment on their journey towards financial independence.
Prepare for the best mint tea of your life on a visit to the Tawesna teahouse. This experience is more than just a cuppa – it’s about discovering a culture, sharing a true moment and contributing to the economic inclusion of women.
Is this trip right for you?
This trip includes time spent travelling in a private vehicle with your group. Extra space can be tight, and conditions may feel a little cramped. It's all part of the adventure and a great way to get to know your fellow travellers. There are a few long days of travel, as you'll be covering a lot of ground. You will, however, make stops at interesting locations to break up the longer drives. Please read the itinerary carefully for travel time estimates.
As a desert country, Morocco can have extreme weather. Please consider the time of the year you wish to travel and your suitability to that season. Refer to the Climate and Seasonal Information section of the Essential Trip Information for more details.
Morocco has a tipping culture and travellers are expected to tip small amounts for most services. Your trip leader and the Money Matters section of the Essential Trip Information can assist you with this.
Although you shouldn’t expect any aggressive selling techniques in Morocco, it’s common to be approached by shop owners and street vendors offering their goods.
We've sourced our accommodation very carefully and picked the best possible hotels in line with the Tuuur style of travel, but please note that service and accommodation in Morocco may differ from standards at home.
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.
Itinerary
Take an adventure through the bustling medinas, city squares and mountain ranges of Morocco
You don’t have to sacrifice your comfort for a great adventure! On this eight-day discovery of Morocco, you’ll explore sacred sites like the Hassan II Mosque, Moulay Idriss and the Roman ruins of Volubilis. Explore the cultural heart of Morocco in Fes, then head into the Sahara for a camel ride through the sand dunes during sunset, before spending the night camping under the stars. Hike through the Todra Valley and see how the locals farm their produce, stopping for some epic views in the Atlas Mountains. Explore the silver-screen favourite of Ait Benhaddou and try the most delicious mint tea in the world at Tawesna teahouse. Top it all off with a vibrant day in Marrakech, where you’ll see the famed Djemaa el-Fna square and feast on Moroccan favourites like seared meats, fresh salads and chickpea soup.

A lot of driving on this tour, but we saw a lot and experienced the various cultures and terrains of this beautiful country. Oulaid was a great tour guide, and I have absolutely no problem getting good food that was both dairy and gluten free!

The trip was well organized with a lot of included activities but also some downtime to explore or rest as you pleased. There is a lot of driving but this allows you to see more of the country.

My sister and I just finished the “Classic Morocco” tour and were very impressed with the advance organization, itinerary, and cultural and culinary experiences we were able to experience on the tour. Of particular note was the excellence of our tour leader, Khaled. In many ways, large and small, he made the trip for us….his knowledge of his homeland & culture, professionalism, humor and kindness really made our Morocco travel experience exceptional.
