Tailor Made Holidays in Morocco: Introduction

Megan Shaw, North Africa & Arabia Specialist My favourite destination in Morocco will always be Marrakesh. This enchanting city is so vibrant and so inviting that it makes me want to revisit the country time and time again.

Despite its close proximity to Europe, Morocco is a world away. Marrakesh is a traditional favourite,with the ancient city of Fez and the walled coastal town of Essaouira becoming increasingly popular. Trips normally vary from a six night, two centred trip through to two-week comprehensive touring itineraries. Travel can be by private vehicle or less expensively on trains, which are punctual and relatively clean. Private guides can accompany you throughout your itinerary, and we also occasionally use local guides for certain monuments and regions.

For those looking for something a bit more adventurous or active, we can arrange treks in the Atlas Mountains including ascents of Jebel Toubkal, or the chance to camp on the fringes of the Sahara Desert. Being a Muslim country, certain key dates and festivals, such as the month of Ramadan and the festival of Eid, can make a difference to your travel plans. By checking each year’s Islamic calendar we can make sure your trip is planned around such dates.
