Morocco tour packages, planned privately around one travelling party

Every route on this page is a private Morocco tour package: your own driver-guide, your own vehicle and a pace set by your group alone. Nothing here is a fixed departure, and no itinerary is shared with strangers. The packages below run from four days to just over two weeks, and each one exists as a starting point — a route we know intimately, re-drawn each time to fit the dates, interests and rhythm of the people travelling.

Morocco Shiny Days was founded in Marrakech in 2017. Oualid Naciri's professional experience designing and operating Morocco itineraries goes back to around 2008, and that long familiarity with roads, seasons and hosts is what shapes these tours rather than any catalogue.

Who these journeys suit

Multi-region travel through Morocco rewards travellers who want contrast rather than a single base: imperial cities, the High Atlas, the pre-Sahara valleys and the Atlantic within one continuous line. It suits couples, families and small groups of friends who prefer their own car to a coach, and who would rather spend two unhurried nights somewhere than tick off four.

If your time is short, a shorter loop from Marrakech usually gives a better experience than a long circuit compressed into a few days. If you have ten days or more, a north-to-south route through Fes, the desert and the Atlas becomes comfortable rather than rushed.

Routing and pacing

Moroccan distances look modest on a map and behave differently on the ground. Mountain passes, market-day traffic and long pre-Sahara straights all change the timing, so we plan realistic driving days — most fall between three and five hours, broken by stops that are worth the pause rather than filler.

Where a route repeats itself, we change the return leg. Where a place deserves a second day, we say so. Customized Morocco tours are as much about what we remove from a draft as what we add.

Morocco tour packages by length

The single most useful question is how many nights you actually have on the ground. Everything else follows from it.

Four to five days

One region done properly: a desert crossing between Fes and Marrakech, or the north from Tangier through Chefchaouen. Short trips work when the driving stays short.

See the 5-day Northern Morocco tour

Seven to nine days

The classic shape: imperial cities plus one Sahara stretch, with two nights in the places that deserve them rather than one night in twice as many.

See the Imperial Cities & Desert tour

Ten to twelve days

Enough time to add a theme — Jewish heritage, photography, the Atlas passes — without cutting the cities back to a single night each.

Two weeks and beyond

North to south in one continuous line: Fes, the Sahara, the southern valleys, the High Atlas and the Atlantic, at a pace that never feels like a transfer day.

Seasons

Spring and autumn are the most forgiving for long routes: the desert is warm rather than severe, the Atlas passes are open, and the valleys are green. Summer works best when the coast carries more of the itinerary and desert nights replace desert afternoons. Winter is clear and bright by day, genuinely cold at altitude and in the dunes after dark, and often the quietest time in the medinas.

Transport and where you stay

Journeys run in a private, air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking driver-guide, with specialist local guides joining for city walks where their knowledge adds something. Accommodation is chosen character-first: riads inside the medinas, kasbah houses in the valleys, family-run guesthouses on the coast, and desert camps that suit the level of comfort you want rather than a fixed grade.

How tailor-made Morocco tours are built

Tell us your dates, roughly how long you have and what you are drawn to. We reply with a draft route, then adjust it — often several times — until the pace, the stops and the standard of the stays feel right. Nothing on this page is a fixed package, and every itinerary is written for one group at a time.

The itineraries shown on this page are starting points, not fixed packages. Every journey is re-planned around your dates, pace and interests.

Frequently asked questions

What is included in a Morocco tour package?
A private air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking driver-guide for the whole route, accommodation chosen character-first, breakfasts, desert camp dinners where the route includes a camp, and licensed local guides for city walks. Flights, lunches, dinners in the cities and entrance fees are usually quoted separately so you can see what you are paying for.
How much does a private Morocco tour cost?
It depends on the number of days, the season, the size of your group and the standard of riads and camps you prefer. We quote one clear price per journey once we know your dates and party size, and we do not build commission-driven shopping stops into the route.
How many days do I need in Morocco?
Seven to nine days covers the imperial cities and one Sahara stretch comfortably. Four to five days works when you stay in one region. Two weeks lets you run north to south — Fes, the desert, the southern valleys and the Atlantic — without a single rushed day.
Are these tours private or shared with other travellers?
Private, always. One travelling party per vehicle and per itinerary, with no fixed departure dates and no strangers joining your group.
Can we change an itinerary listed on this page?
Yes — every itinerary here is a starting point rather than a fixed package. Tell us what drew you to it and we redraw the days, the stays and the pace around you, usually over two or three drafts.
When is the best time to travel in Morocco?
March to May and September to November give the kindest temperatures for long routes. Winter is clear and bright by day, cold at altitude and in the dunes at night, and quiet in the medinas. High summer suits the Atlantic coast and the mountains more than the desert.
Do these journeys work for families with children?
They do, with adjustments: shorter driving days, riads with family rooms or a pool, and stops chosen for children as well as adults. Child seats can be fitted on request.
How do we start planning?
Send us your rough dates, how long you have and what draws you to Morocco. Oualid Naciri replies personally with a draft route, usually within a day, and we adjust from there.
