Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
verified
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 and contributing to the economic inclusion of women.
verified
Enjoy a street food experience with multiple Moroccan favourites at a local restaurant with your group and trip leader – the best way to sample all the delicious goods in Djemaa el-Fna!
verified
Watch the sunset from a camel’s back in the Sahara Desert and camp beneath a blanket of stars – now this is a bucket list experience!
verified
It's easy to get lost in a labyrinth (think less David Bowie film, more medieval maze), especially when there are enticing distractions at every turn. Never fear, your local guide knows the city of Fes like a lifelong friend.
verified
Traverse blue washed streets (with some new feline friends) in Chefchaouen – named after the two mountains that hug the city.

Travelling during Ramadan can be a rewarding cultural experience, however, some regular services may not be available during the daytime, such as restaurants or coffee bars, and occasionally travel can be disrupted by events. Your leader will adjust the itinerary accordingly, but please consider your travel arrangements carefully before booking travel for this period. Refer to the "Climate and seasonal information," section of your Essential Trip Information for more details and dates.

The Todra Gorge visit takes you to a remote area of Morocco. It’s an amazing place to discover on foot, but you'll need a moderate level of fitness and suitable footwear.
verified
Summer temperatures in Morocco can be uncomfortably hot, especially if you're not used to the heat. If you travel in the warmer months, get sun protection and drink plenty of water. At night the temperature can drop to freezing, so bring your warm clothes, too.
verified
Although you shouldn’t expect any aggressive selling techniques in Morocco, please be aware that you may be approached regularly by shop owners and street vendors.

We've sourced our accommodation carefully and picked the best possible hotels in line with the Tuuur style of travel. Service and accommodation in Morocco may be different from western standards.

I really enjoy my Morocco experience, we got to see everything I had imagined in going to Morocco, I would have loved more time in the Sahara Desert but the camel ride was absolutely the highlight of the trip. Highly recommend

Great trip through Morocco! Our tour leader was fantastic – always helpful, well-organized, and friendly. We just had to enjoy, he took care of the rest. Saw so much in 2 weeks. It’s intense but absolutely worth it. Group spirit matters more than hotel comfort – amazing experience!

This was my first ever guided group trip and it has exceeded all of my expectations, despite all of my anxieties leading up to it. Our guide Mohamed I was superb and seriously impressed me with his kindness, approachability and enthusiasm for his country and its culture. Almost all of us in the group were solo travellers but a fun and friendly dynamic and vibe was formed early on in the trip. Overall, I highly recommend this trip to other young travellers that are looking to see a lot of Morocco in a low stress and enjoyable, short length of time.

This was a cultural experience of a lifetime. Absorbing the history and culture, tasting the food and sleeping under the stars in the Sahara. Mohammed Inti has a fantastic leader, he was knowledgeable, approachable and caring. I didn't feel like a tourist, I felt like I was apart of his family.

This trip was unforgettable, made truly special by our amazing guide, Mohammad Inti. His warmth, knowledge, and care ensured everyone felt comfortable, included, and inspired. From sharing local culture to creating magical moments, he turned my first travel experience into a journey I’ll always treasure. Every detail was thoughtful, and his energy made the adventure extraordinary.

This trip was fantastic. Some long days in the car but we stopped frequently enough. One tip is to have change with you and smaller bills for the second leg of the trip since we stop in the middle of the desert where they might not have change for a 200Dh bill.
Was incredible seeing all the small towns and meet locals on the trip.
