I’m Soufiane. Elhoussian and I run Happy Morocco Travel from Rissani, on the edge of the Sahara — and every Morocco tour on this page is a route we’ve driven, eaten our way through, and refined with real guests. From the souks of Marrakech to the dunes of Erg Chebbi and the high passes of the Atlas, this is our country, and we’d love to show it to you properly.
Every trip is private and tailor-made: your dates, your pace, your interests — with a private driver-guide, hand-picked riads and honest advice from the first message on.
The routes below are the ones we run and refine year after year — Morocco desert trips, imperial-city circuits and coast-to-Sahara journeys. Each links to a full day-by-day plan.
Choosing who plans your trip matters more than choosing the itinerary — the same route feels completely different with people who know it personally. What you get with us:
Local from birth: we grew up in Rissani, by the Sahara. The desert leg of your trip runs through our home ground, with camps and crews we’ve known for years.
Tailor-made, honestly priced: private itineraries matched to your pace and budget — and if a wish doesn’t fit your dates, we’ll say so and offer the better alternative.
One team, start to finish: the people you write to are the people responsible on the ground. No handoffs, no call centre.
Morocco’s allure lies in its incredible geographical diversity. Here are the top destinations we include in our Morocco tour packages.
Often referred to as the ‘Red City,’ Marrakech pulsates with energy. At its heart lies the UNESCO-listed Jemaa el-Fna square, a theatrical spectacle of storytellers and musicians. Lose yourself in the souks, visit the Bahia Palace, or find tranquility in the Majorelle Garden.
Step back in time as you enter Fes (Fez), Morocco’s oldest imperial city and its undisputed spiritual capital. The Fes el-Bali medina is the world’s largest car-free urban zone and a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is a sprawling maze of over 9,000 narrow streets, bustling markets, and sensory delights.
Our morocco tour packages ensure you don’t just see Fes, but experience it. Witness traditional craftsmanship at the famous tanneries, exploring leather goods made the same way for centuries. Visit historic madrasas (Islamic schools) with intricate tile work. Fes offers an unparalleled glimpse into medieval history, making it a favorite stop on our morocco small group tours for history buffs and culture seekers.
This is home. We grew up beside the Erg Chebbi dunes, and the desert night — camel trek at sunset, dinner by the fire, a sky so full of stars it doesn’t look real — is still the moment our guests talk about most. Our Morocco desert tours run through camps owned by people we’ve known all our lives, from simple Berber camps to private-bathroom luxury tents.
Nestled high in the Rif Mountains, the enchanting town of Chefchaouen is famous worldwide for its striking blue-washed buildings and relaxed atmosphere. Unlike the busy energy of Marrakech, Chefchaouen offers a serene escape, making it a perfect addition to morocco family tours or romantic getaways.
Wander through its charming, narrow streets adorned with colorful flower pots and local handicrafts. The fresh mountain air and stunning panoramic views make it a paradise for photographers. Whether you are hiking to the Spanish Mosque for sunset or sipping mint tea in the plaza, this “Blue Pearl” is a unique gem included in our comprehensive morocco travel packages.
As Morocco’s economic hub, Casablanca offers a stark, fascinating contrast to the ancient medinas. It is a city of broad boulevards, Art Deco architecture, and vibrant contemporary culture. The crown jewel is the magnificent Hassan II Mosque, one of the few mosques in Morocco open to non-Muslims and a masterpiece of artisanal craftsmanship built partially over the Atlantic Ocean.
For many travelers, this is where the adventure begins. Our morocco tours from casablanca are very popular, allowing you to land at the international airport, marvel at the modern side of the Kingdom, and then seamlessly journey into the historic imperial cities and the desert.
Often overlooked by hurried tourists, Rabat is a hidden treasure and the country’s elegant capital. It offers a sophisticated blend of historical grandeur and calm, green spaces. On our private morocco tours, we guide you through the Kasbah of the Udayas, a delightful fortress with blue and white houses overlooking the ocean.
You will also discover the impressive Hassan Tower and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, masterpieces of modern Moroccan architecture. Rabat provides a relaxed introduction to the country’s history and is a key stop on our imperial cities itineraries, perfect for families and history lovers alike.
The majestic Atlas Mountains stretch across Morocco, offering dramatic landscapes, lush valleys, and traditional Berber villages. This region is a paradise for hikers, trekkers, and nature lovers looking for active morocco private tours.
Explore the Toubkal National Park, home to North Africa’s highest peak, Mount Toubkal, or discover the stunning Ouzoud Waterfalls. Engage with the warm and hospitable Berber communities, learn about their ancient traditions, and experience their unique way of life. The Atlas Mountains provide a refreshing escape from the cities, making them a highlight of our morocco family tours.
After the heat of the desert and the bustle of the cities, Morocco’s Atlantic coast offers a refreshing breeze. Essaouira, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a fortified port city famous for its blue fishing boats, artistic vibe, and fresh seafood. It is a top choice for relaxation on our morocco luxury tours.
Further south lies Agadir, a modern resort city with wide sandy beaches perfect for sunbathing and water sports. These coastal gems provide a perfect ending to your trip. We highly recommend adding a few days by the sea to your morocco tour package to unwind before flying home.
These are widely considered the best times to visit. The weather is perfect (20°C to 26°C) for exploring cities and the Sahara Desert.
Inland cities can be hot, but this is the perfect time for the coastal breezes of Essaouira or trekking in the cool High Atlas Mountains.
Winters are mild. While the desert nights are cold, the days are sunny. It is a great time to avoid crowds and enjoy snow-capped vistas in the mountains.
No matter when you visit Morocco, Happy Morocco Travel will help you plan your trip. They will consider the weather to ensure you have a comfortable and memorable journey through this beautiful country.
