Why Morocco
A country of a thousand contrasts
Imperial cities and golden dunes, snow-capped mountains and Atlantic beaches, all within a few hours of each other. This is why travellers fall for Morocco.
Imperial cities and medinas
Four imperial cities, each with its own story: Marrakech, Fes, Meknes and Rabat. Wander souks, palaces and riads that have barely changed in centuries.

Morocco at a glance
The essentials in one place.
Casablanca is the largest city, and Marrakech the most visited.
Moroccan Arabic (Darija) is spoken daily. English is common in tourist areas.
Cards work in hotels and many restaurants. Carry cash for souks and taxis.
March to May and September to November are the most pleasant seasons.
Marrakech, Casablanca, Agadir, Fes and Tangier, with many direct European flights.
Fast trains link the big cities. For deserts and mountains, a private driver is easiest.
Many nationalities can enter for a short stay. Rules change, so check before you travel.
Dress modestly in the medina, ask before photographing people and haggle with a smile.
The soul of Morocco

When to visit Morocco
Spring
Mild days and green valleys. One of the best seasons for most of the country.

Hot inland, especially in Marrakech and the Sahara. The Atlantic coast, like Agadir, is more comfortable.
Autumn
Warm, settled weather that suits both the cities and desert trips.
Winter
Mild on the coast, cool nights in the desert and snow on the High Atlas peaks.
Typical conditions. They vary by region and from year to year.

FAQ
Questions before you go
When is the best time to visit Morocco?
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) suit most trips. Summers are hot inland, so many travelers favour the coast or plan early starts in Marrakech and the Sahara.
How many days do I need?
It depends on your plans. A few days are enough for Marrakech and the Agafay desert, while the Sahara at Merzouga is better with extra time because of the distance. Tell us your dates and we will suggest a realistic plan.
Can you plan a trip around my interests?
Yes. Message us on WhatsApp with your dates, your group and what you enjoy, and we will suggest an itinerary built around them.
What should I pack?
Light, breathable clothes for the day, a warm layer for desert and mountain evenings, comfortable walking shoes and sun protection. In the cities and the medina, modest clothing is appreciated.
Do I need a visa?
It depends on your nationality. Please check the official requirements for your passport before you travel.
