12 days Morocco itinerary tour We visited Morocco in April, and we started the tour from Marrakech as a family. Our kids are 13 and 15 years old. We met our guide at right time. We just completed our 12-day trip in Morocco including Casablanca, Fez, High Atlas, Chefchaouen - charming blue painted medina and delicious, Merzouga - beautiful landscape of Sahara and romantic night in the desert. Nice to see nomadic families life with overnight stays in tents. It was an experience of a lifetime. The guide was professional, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. We even met his family who are very lovely hosts and had some Couscous. Definitely a trip to remember with all the exotic culture and architecture. All the riad and hotels were great and the food was all delicious. I recommend Morocco Packages Holidays for traveling around Morocco. The company was very professional and more than delivered on the itinerary!
An unforgettable and different experience! This trip was incredible for three reasons: the spectacular and completeness of the tour, the excellent hospitality of the guides, employees, and drivers, and finally, the people you meet during the experience. It has been perfectly organized since we managed to visit many places not only in Marrakech but also in other parts of Morocco. The tour managers were very attentive and went to extremes to make sure we had a good time until I returned to the desert dunes at night to find my phone that fell on the sand. It has been one of the best experiences!
We are a team of passionate travelers who have fallen in love with the enchanting beauty and rich culture of Morocco.
