Introducing Morocco

Morocco is a vast country, extending from its Mediterranean shores in the north to the desert wonderland of the Sahara in the south. Spend an afternoon sipping tea on a Marrakech rooftop, take a camel ride through the desert, or hike in the snow-topped High Atlas mountains; whatever you choose, you'll love experiencing everything Morocco has to offer. 

Where should I go in Morocco?
From the hustle and bustle of Marrakech and Fes to photogenic Chefchaouen and the dunes of the Sahara Desert, Morocco has an incredibly diverse blend of geography, climate, and culture. Each region has its own unique array of activities for travelers to choose from, as well as specific weather patterns to be aware of. Learn more

When is the best time to visit? 
Morocco is a year-round destination, though each of its regions has an ideal time to go. Tangier in northern Morocco, for example, has a pleasant Mediterranean climate year-round, while travelers interested in experiencing the Sahara will want to stick to a trip in Spring or Fall to avoid extreme temperatures. Learn more

Things to Do in Morocco
 
Morocco is full of opportunities for both adventure and relaxation. Take a kitesurfing lesson on the Atlantic Coast, go mountain biking in the High Atlas mountains, or spend a day shopping for rugs and antiques in the fantastic markets of Marrakech. Learn more

How many days do I need in Morocco?
7-10 days is a solid amount of time to explore Morocco's and Imperial cities at a moderate pace. With 2 weeks you can spend time hiking in the Atlas Mountains or explore the coast. With under 1 week, it's best to focus your time: explore Casablanca, Chefchaouen, and Fes in the north, or discover Berber traditions in Marrakech & the Sahara desert. Learn more

Getting around Morocco
Private driver-guides are the best way to travel around Morocco, offering travelers both flexibility and peace of mind. Trains and buses connect the larger cities such as Casablanca, Fes, and Marrakech, while the desert area, Atlas mountains, and coastal towns are best accessed as part of a private tour or day trips.

What an unforgettable adventure! From the beginning, until the last goodbyes, this trip to Morocco was about as perfect as it could be. Nihad, our planner was fantastic-helpful and responsive. Our tour manager, Rachid, was, simply, the best- so kind, funny, helpful, a joy to spend 2 weeks with, really. The official tour guides- Hassania, Rachid ("other Rachid"), Hicham, and the others whose name I cannot recall, were friendly and knowledgeable. They, and the Moroccan people, in general, who are among the kindest , warmest people you will ever meet, provided context and meaning for this trip. Morocco is a beautiful country and in our 2-week stay, we were treated to an unexpected variety of geography. It was incredible how much the scenery changed from day to day, or even hour to hour- Cities, green farmland, what I like to refer to as "Arizona", snow-capped mountains, forests, oases, desert, ocean. You name it, we saw it! I know I was going to enjoy this trip immensely, but never in my dreams did I imagine how much I would love this country and these people. I certainly hope I am fortunate enough to return one day.

Riad Wind Palace
Essaouira

Super-cool spot in the medina, a short walk to the water. The only potential downside is that there is no A/C, so you needed the windows open for cool, fresh air, but the bustle of activity in the square continued throughout the night. Just bring a fan or use a "noise" app on your phone to drown it out easily.

Really liked this place, but it was not our favorite on this trip. The rooms were beautiful, but the restaurant was mid. Also, there were dogs that were barking all night, which interrupted our sleep. Not sure if they were a part of this camp or another, but it was annoying, all the same.

Authenticity & Character
Lovely tents with fully-functional bathroom facilities. Glamping as it should be.
Location
Nestled in the peripheral dunes of the Sahara, the setting was magical.

They were very sweet, but it seemed like the place was run by 20-year-old boys who were way to young to have so much responsibility foisted upon them. They were diligent and kind, but I feel like they were a bit overwhelmed.

Seafood Lunch from the Wharf
Seafood Lunch from the Wharf
Essaouira

Lunch at the wharf was very casual. We thought it was going to be in a restaurant, but it turns out that you pick a spot, right nerar the water, select your seafood and have it cooked for you while you eat at picnic tables. It was a great experience, just not what we were expecting. Essaouira is more than fresh seafood. There are amazing sunsets from the beach, the medina is cute and manageable (but get most of your shopping done in Fez and Marrakech). Our favorite part was a bit serendipitous. We went for a late morning walk to the wharf, and just kept following it down to the end, and were able to watch the hustle and bustle of the fishing boats coming in and unloading their bounty. The controlled chaos was delightful to watch.

This was another long day of driving. Fortunately, there were some stops to help break it up. Ait Ben Haddou was interesting, and had some beautiful views, but was kind of unremarkable. The rose cooperative was neat, but I imagined we'd see more fields of roses, considering we were there in peak season. We also made a quick stop at Atlas studios, but did not go in for the tour, it most mostly a chance to stretch our legs. Driving through the high Atlas mountains and seeing the geography change so completely again was great.

They even let my husband lead a little jam session after he saw an electric guitar sitting in the store. The whole family got involved! Next was the tour of the old village if Tighir (excuse any misspelling). Our guide there was again, fantastic. After that, a stop at the women's rug collective, then an absolutely incredible (and huge) lunch. Next was the Gorge, which was a cool little trek. It was great to see all of the families picnicking alongside it.

PRE-TRIP
Majid worked with us to set up a custom itinerary and was knowledgeable, prompt, and available for all questions and concerns before and during our trip. We opted for a trip with luxury stays in highly rated hotels and riads. One of the most helpful pieces of information he provided was regarding acceptable tips for guides, drivers, etc.. Our group referenced his recommendations throughout the trip.

FOOD
Breakfast was included in the price, and Majid made dinner reservations for us whenever we requested it. Red took us to all of our lunch spots. We paid for both lunch and dinner. A note for vegetarians and vegans: While there are veg options for Moroccan food (salads, bread, veg tagine and couscous), it can get pretty repetitive after a while. So just be prepared to break your Moroccan meals up with other cuisines if you have access to them!

TRAVEL
Over the course of 9 days, we went to Chefchaouen, Fes, Merzouga desert, the Atlas mountains, and Marrakesh. As a group of 12 with 4 kids, it was so helpful to have a guide as energetic and positive as Red accompanying us throughout our travels. We were on the road a lot, and were in very good hands with Ishaam, who expertly and safely navigated through different types of terrain.

Because of our packed itinerary and time on the road, we didn't have too much time to shop. I would have loved to have had a bit more time to get more souvenirs and gifts.

OVERALL
Everyone we met was so warm and welcoming, and it was extremely helpful to have Red with us to navigate the language and culture. The guides we met along the way in Chefchaouen, Fes, and Morocco were very knowledgeable as well.

The best parts: I loved being in Fes and learning more about the intellectual and cultural capital of Morocco. Having 2 days in the desert right in the middle of the trip was a great call as well. After hours on the road and in bustling cities and towns, the calm and quiet of the desert was exactly what we needed to feel rejuvenated.

Highly recommend using KimKim and working with this team. A big thank you to Red, Ishaam, and Majid, for such a wonderful trip!
