Frequently asked questions
When is the best time to visit Morocco?
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) offer the most comfortable temperatures across the country. Summer is very hot in the Sahara and inland cities, while winter brings cold nights in the desert and snow on the High Atlas passes. We plan routes and timings around the season.
Do I need a visa to travel to Morocco?
Citizens of many countries, including most of the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada, can visit Morocco without a visa for up to 90 days. Requirements depend on your nationality, so please check with the Moroccan consulate in your country before travelling.
What is the difference between a private journey and a small-group tour?
A private journey is just for you and your companions, with your own driver and vehicle, flexible timings and a route that can be fully adapted. A small-group tour follows a set itinerary shared with other travellers, which is a sociable and often more affordable way to discover Morocco.
How does booking work?
Send us an enquiry with your dates and preferences. We reply personally with a proposal and a quotation. Nothing is booked until you confirm, and the payment terms are explained clearly in your proposal.
Can the itineraries be changed?
Yes. Every itinerary on this website can be adapted: we can add nights, change the starting city, upgrade the accommodation or combine routes.
What currency is used in Morocco?
The Moroccan dirham (MAD). Cards are accepted in many hotels, restaurants and larger shops, but cash is useful in markets, villages and the desert. ATMs are easy to find in cities and towns.
What should I pack for the Sahara?
Layers. Days can be warm while nights in the desert are cool or cold, especially from November to March. Bring comfortable shoes, a scarf to protect against sun and sand, sunglasses, sunscreen and a warm layer for the evening.
How long are the drives to the desert?
Merzouga is roughly 560 km from Marrakech and around 470 km from Fes. We always split the journey with stops in places such as the Dades Valley or the Todra Gorge, so the drive becomes part of the experience.
