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.

We had an amazing time in Marrakesh. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by the friendly face of Khalid, our driver-guide for the 4 days we were there. He’s responsive, helpful, friendly, informative, and very proud of his country. We really enjoyed being with him. Hamid was our guide for a food tour and cultural tour of Marrakech. He was super knowledgeable about the history and sites, and he brought us to great restaurants and shops. Hassan was our guide for the trek in the Atlas Mountains. He was very patient with us when we decided to change out the schedule for the day. This was our first time using Kim Kim, and I would go back to them in the future for other destinations.

I would recommend selecting a camp that has European-American type tables and chairs. For older people who are not accustomed to sitting on the floor, the low tables with cushions are not comfortable. We were given chairs, but then eating at the low table was awkward.

The hike was a bit more difficult than we expected, especially due to the altitude and the sun, so we didn’t meet and eat with a family. We had lunch at a restaurant by the side of a waterfall that was clearly under construction. I would suggest more info about the conditions for the hike and wonder if there is an option for a driving tour of mountain villages with the option to meet and eat with a family.

Highly suggest that this activity be planned in the morning, not in the late afternoon. It was very crowded and difficult to enjoy the Garden. I was also hoping that we would have a guide for this activity to explain the history of the garden and Yves St Laurent’s connection. I was not able to get a photo of the house.

I thought we would at least visit the grounds of the Mosque. We may have run out of time as my husband and I did a lot of shopping. I would suggest that Hamid select a couple places where visitors could sit for a few moments for a drink. We stopped at one place, but could not get served, so after 30 minutes of waiting, we left.

My holiday in Morocco was wonderful! The organising of the trip through Kim Kim was very efficient. Majid was very prompt to respond to any questions and in a friendly manner. The accommodation was of very good quality, and the local guides were excellent with their knowledge. A highlight of the trip was sharing a meal with a local family in Fez. Special mention needs to be made of our tour driver, Abdul. Abdul was such a joy and was always accommodating to our needs throughout the trip. He always had a smile and was always willing to help. I very much enjoyed learning and living Morocco!

Our accommodations were all beautiful and the guides he supplied knowledgeable and engaging.

Our leisure time was spent touring museums in each destination (all a must visit) : Mohammed VI Museum of Modern & Contemporary Art - Rabat; Dar Batha Museum of Islamic Arts - Fes; and the Tangier American Legation Museum.

And our driver for 10 days, Youssef was the best - he knew about our destinations, was always available and made suggested changes to our itinerary along the way. Best of all, he treated us as his best friends and we shared family moments together. Overall, we had a great experience and plan to return to visit Southern Morocco.
