15 Day Morocco Tour from Casablanca: your questions
Why does this 15 day Morocco tour from Casablanca go south first?
Starting along the coast gives you easy days to settle in – a lagoon, the ocean and Marrakech – before the longer drives to the Sahara and the north.
Can the 15 day Morocco tour from Casablanca run the other way?
Yes. We can start with Rabat, Chefchaouen and Fes and end with Essaouira and the coast. The best direction depends on the season and your flights.
Is the balloon flight included?
It is part of the plan we suggest and depends on the weather. If the balloon cannot fly, we propose another activity in Marrakech or Agafay.
How many nights in the Sahara on the 15 day Morocco tour from Casablanca?
One night in a riad in Merzouga and one in a desert camp in the dunes, after a quad ride and a camel trek at sunset.
Is the tour private?
Yes – you travel with your own driver on your dates, and every day can be changed.
