Where to StayAll-inclusive in Morocco is a real option, but only in three places, and the plan never covers quite everything. Here is what you get, what you pay extra for, and where to book it.
ItinerariesAndalusia first, one hour on the water from Tarifa, then a Moroccan leg of four to six days that ends where the flights home leave. The order, the crossing and the module, ready to drop into your plan.
ItinerariesHow far children can ride in a day decides the whole trip. Here is a Morocco family itinerary built around that number, age by age.
Tours & ExperiencesA Morocco tour package covers less than the word suggests, and more than the price alone tells you. Here is how packages compare by length, and what each one leaves for you to pay.
ItinerariesTwelve days is the first length where Morocco needs no sacrifice: the coast, an Atlas walk, the Sahara, Fes and the blue town, with a free half day about every three days.
Tours & ExperiencesA private tour in Morocco is mostly about who sits in the van and who decides when it stops. Here is what the format really changes, what it costs, and who should pay for it.
ItinerariesLand in Casablanca, fly home from Marrakech, and never drive the same road twice. Eight days, a new bed most nights, and an honest list of what this pace leaves out.
ItinerariesFive days is enough for Marrakech and one night in the Sahara dunes, as long as you loop back to where you landed. Here is the route, day by day, and the version without the desert.
ItinerariesTen days is when Morocco stops being a race: the sea first, two nights in Marrakech and Fes, the Sahara in between, and the blue town at the end.
Tours & ExperiencesEight places that earn their spot on a first trip to Morocco, and for each one, the multi-day tour that actually gets you there, without driving yourself.
ItinerariesFive, seven, eight, ten or twelve days: each length fits one route shape. Pick your number of days first, and the route follows.
Safety & InsuranceLiability comes with every rental by law. Damage to the car itself comes with an excess, and your US credit card may or may not pick it up. The three layers, and what to check before you sign.
