Morocco Itineraries

Morocco has so much to offer! When booking a trip to Morocco, it is important that you are able to experience this unique country to the fullest. These itineraries are samples of how to explore Morocco. Each itinerary was created to capture what a well-rounded trip to Morocco looks like.

There are a couple key components taken into account when creating these itineraries. First, it is important to note how long your stay will be. For example, the one week tour looks much more condensed than the others. This is because it must fit Morocco’s key attractions while also taking into account travel time. But regardless of how long you stay, there will never be a dull moment.
