On a two-week private tour, a group of four brings the per-person price down considerably. Message us with your dates and numbers

Frequently asked questions
Is 15 days too long in Morocco?
Not for a complete tour — two weeks lets you add Tangier and the north, a second desert night, and full coast time at a relaxed pace, with no long driving day-after-day.
What does 15 days add over 12?
Mainly the north — a full day in Chefchaouen and a visit to Tangier and Cap Spartel — plus an extra coast day in Essaouira.
Does it start and end in Marrakech?
Yes — a round-trip loop. We can adjust the start or finish city on request.
Shared or private?
Shared runs on set departure dates at the best price; Private Premium is your own vehicle and driver with a flexible pace.
Can we add trekking or a longer coast stay?
Yes — this is a template we tailor. Add Atlas trekking, surfing on the coast, or extra nights anywhere.
Book now, pay later?
