10 days in Morocco allows you to explore at a more moderate pace, visiting several imperial cities as well as the desert. An active trip can combine a full Morocco loop with hiking in the Atlas mountains. Balance adventure, culture, and relaxation around Marrakech with a few days to explore the desert, an overnight hike in the Atlas mountains, and time along the seaside. 

Travelers arriving from Spain can travel Morocco from north to south to minimize extra transport time, stopping in Chefchaouen, Fes, the desert, and Marrakech. If you're not interested in the desert (or you're visiting during the hot summer months), focus your trip on Morocco's cities and culture.

They really stood out in quality and service! We had a great driver Ilyace who spoke perfect English and was so helpful! Besides driving us, he did little extras, like finding us the safest ATM bank machines and even found a local laundry service. He always kept in touch with us as to when and where he would drop us off and pick us up. It was a very relaxing trip and the we saw the highlights of Morocco in 14 days. All of the optional tours were also wonderful! We loved the Hammans and the cooking class in Marrakesh. Maison D'Arabe did a great job!! Hiking to the Falls in Imlil and Ourika Falls was also fun! Morocco is a beautiful country with such a diverse landscape. The people are so friendly and we felt very welcomed.

Hotel Reviews
Riad Mimouna
Essaouira

The staff was wonderful; however there wasn't in room safe so we kept our passports at the front desk. The breakfast was wonderful and Essaouira is beautiful and a relaxing place for 3 nights. I found the rooms to be a bit dark.

Marrakech

We only stayed one night. There weren't a lot of tourists. It was almost empty. It rained hard the first night, so we didn't do the camel ride. Unless you did the 4 wheel ATV or camel ride, there wasn't much to do. It was a beautiful setting but again there wasn't much to do there.

Beautiful decor. It was a bit out of the way to get to. However, Lucy the mule was a great help. The dinner was excellent and I'm glad we could eat at the hotel because I didn't want to go out to eat since it was not an easy place to walk around at night.

Riad Le Pèlerin
Marrakech

It's a nice, small intimate Riad. Beautiful decor. Wonderful staff. We stayed there for a total of 4 nights so we had the chance to get to know the staff. There was only 3 men that we met. They were very friendly and helpful.

Authenticity & Character
Location
Staff
They were short staffed, so one of the times we stayed, they weren't able to help us with our luggage. That was the only negative. The one person at the front had to do everything, greet guests, serve breakfast and also be the porter. Perhaps they should hire a porter when the hotel is busy.
Cleanliness & Comfort
The rooms were all clean and very comfortable. We enjoyed the breakfast and they even gave us a key when we went out in the evening.

It was ok. It could have been any hotel in the States. Again we only stayed one night so it was fine for one night. It did have a nice breakfast buffet.

Quality of Experience
The people in Morocco are very friendly. We felt safe and didn't feel threatened by pick pockets. However we were always careful. What I disliked the most were the mopeds and motorcycles in the Medinas. They were loud and obnoxious always honking at the pedestrians. I wish they would ban them in the Medinas.

It was a wonderful tour and we learned so much about the Romans in Morocco,. It is well worth visiting.

Quality of Experience
We loved the cooking school in Marrakesh and the Hamman experience. I wouldn't recommend the Hamman in Marrakesh. It was too crowded and so busy. We loved the Hamman in Essaouria. It was called the Dar L'Oussia spa and hotel. That one was the best. If you have a small group, I would recommend a private Hamman at a hotel. It's just more relaxing and quiet. The one in Marrakesh was very touristy!! When your guest are preparing their trip, I would warn them about Ramadan. Driving long distances during Ramadan isn't too easy as well as finding shops and gas stations open in the smaller, rural areas.
Guides, Drivers and Staff
Our drive Ilyace was wonderful. Spoke great English, no accent. We had a great local guide in Fes. All of the local guides were great!
Transport
Wonderful, comfortable SUV . It was just my husband and I. However the driver was great and stopped when we needed to. It was a bit difficult during Ramadan to find a service station open.

From start to finish our Morocco experience was one to remember. Nihad was professional and prompt with any questions or actions required. The hotels and riads we stayed in were fascinating and well chosen, particularly for location. Our city guides were informative and knowledgeable and helped us understand the cities and sites we visited. We had two drivers, and the second one in particular, Abelhadi, made us feel welcome and our long journeys safe and enjoyable. Moroccan hospitality is warm and we would love to explore it more.

Original Travels (Hamza and Said) made the booking of and in-country experience incredibly easy and enjoyable for our trip to Morocco. Everyone was so polite and cared for our comfort every step of the way. We had a few local guides throughout our 9 day trip that were very knowledgeable, polite, and showed us places we would not have found on our own. Our accomodations were excellent everywhere we went. But best of all was our driver Tayeb who immediately became part of our journey. He was certainly professional and made sure our transfers were comfortable and the experience we wanted, but he enriched the adventure with great conversations, sharing so much knowledge about Morocco both historical and present, and we left feeling like he was a close friend.we highly recommend asking for Tayeb if you travel to Morocco!!
