Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Since this is a private tour, the itinerary is completely flexible. We can add or remove days, alter the cities we visit, and customize hotel categories to fit your preferences.

Morocco is a vast country. To cover both the far North (Chefchaouen) and the Deep South (Sahara Desert) in one trip requires some longer driving days (specifically from Merzouga to Fes, and Chefchaouen to Casablanca). However, we break these drives up with multiple exploration stops.

Pack comfortable walking shoes, layers of clothing (it can be cold in the mountains/desert at night, and very hot during the day), sunscreen, a reusable water bottle, and modest clothing if visiting rural areas or mosques.
