Morocco Tour Guide: Royal Cities and a Night in the Sahara Desert

Written by: Süleyman Öz, Founder and Operations Manager of Holitera Tourism

Morocco is the route where our guests most often say “I wish I had come sooner.” The journey from Casablanca to the Sahara gives you the feeling of visiting several different countries.

Which cities are on the route?

• Casablanca and Rabat: Hassan II Mosque, royal palace surroundings
• Fes: one of the oldest medinas in the world and leather tanneries
• Chefchaouen: a photo stop with its blue streets
• Marrakech: Jemaa el-Fna square and souks

A night in the Sahara Desert

In Merzouga, we enter the desert with camels and stay in a camp tent. Sunset and the night sky become the most talked-about moments of the tour. Since nights in the desert are cool, I recommend bringing a thin jacket with you.

When is the best time to visit?

The period between March-May and September-November is ideal. It gets very hot in the desert during summer months, while nights can be cold in winter.

Visa and preparation

An e-visa is required for Morocco; we provide guidance through the process. Keeping your luggage light is helpful for programs involving traditional riad stays and camping accommodations.

Morocco with a travel companion

Dilara's Boutique Grand Morocco Sahara Desert Tour is a 7-night program featuring tent and riad accommodations. Other dates and prices are available on the Morocco tours page.
