We don't sell fixed packages. You tell us roughly what you want (how many days, what kind of trip, your pace), and we build an itinerary around it. You get a draft, we go back and forth until it's right, then we run it. Private driver, vetted riads, local guides in each city. Nothing shared with strangers.

For peak season (spring and autumn) and anything over Christmas/New Year, three to six months out is ideal, partly because the good riads fill up. We've also turned trips around in a couple of weeks. If your dates are close, just ask.

March to May and September to November are the sweet spots, comfortable in the cities and the desert. June to August is hot, especially Marrakech and Merzouga, fine if you plan around it. December to February is cool and quiet, great for the imperial cities, cold nights in the Sahara, snow in the Atlas. Tell us your dates and we'll tell you honestly what to expect.

You can, and it can be a beautiful time to see the country, but it's different. Some restaurants and shops keep shorter hours during the day, and the energy shifts after sunset. We plan around it so you still eat well and see what you came for. We'll flag it if your dates overlap.

Typically: private transport with driver, accommodation, local licensed guides in the cities, desert experiences, and the logistics in between. Flights to Morocco, lunches and dinners (unless stated), and personal spending usually sit outside it. Every proposal spells out exactly what's in and what's not, so there are no surprises.

A deposit secures your dates and lets us start booking riads on your behalf. The balance is due before or at the start of the trip, depending on the itinerary. We'll lay out the exact schedule in writing before you pay anything.

It depends on how close to departure you cancel and what's already been booked on your behalf (some riads and desert camps have their own terms). We tell you the specific policy for your trip in the proposal, before you commit.

Tipping is part of the culture here, small amounts, often. A few dirhams for cafe staff and porters, more for guides and drivers who spend full days with you. We'll give you a simple, realistic guide so you're not over or under doing it.

Most travelers from the US, UK, Canada, Australia and the EU don't need a visa for stays up to 90 days, just a passport valid six months past your entry date. Check your own country's rules before you book, since they change.

Most riads and hotels have wifi. For data on the go, a local SIM or eSIM is cheap and easy, and we can sort one for you on arrival. Coverage is solid in cities and along main routes, patchy deep in the desert (which is part of the point).

Yes. Our city guides are licensed and speak English, and many speak French and Spanish too. Hamid himself works in Arabic, Darija, English, French and Spanish. You're never stuck without someone who can translate, negotiate, or explain what you're looking at.

Yes. Morocco is one of the safer countries in the region for tourists, and the areas you'll actually visit (Marrakech, Fes, the desert, the coast, the Atlas) see travelers year round. The real risks are petty stuff, overcharging in the medinas, a "free" guide who isn't free, fake tannery tickets. Traveling private means someone who knows the city is with you, so most of that never reaches you.

Yes, including solo and small groups of women. Dress is a bit more modest than at home (shoulders and knees covered is a good baseline, especially in smaller towns), and a confident no goes a long way with persistent vendors. We also run women-focused trips with female guides if that's what you want.

Light, breathable, modest. Cover shoulders and knees in towns and religious sites. Bring layers for the desert (hot days, cold nights) and the mountains. Comfortable shoes for medina walking, the streets are uneven. Swimwear is fine at pools and beach resorts.

Moroccan food is built for sharing and easier to adapt than people expect. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, allergies, just tell us in advance and we brief the riads and restaurants. Tap water isn't recommended for drinking; we keep bottled water in the car.

Yes, in many riads, hotels, and licensed restaurants, though it's less visible than in Europe and pricier. It's not sold openly everywhere, so don't expect a bar on every corner. We can point you to the spots that serve it.

It's one of our specialties. Camel rides, the dunes, a night in a desert camp under the stars, riads with pools, markets that feel like another world. We pace family trips differently, shorter drives, downtime built in, food kids will actually eat. Tell us your kids' ages and we'll adjust everything around them.

For most people it's the highlight. You can do it rough or properly comfortable, we run luxury desert camps with real beds, private bathrooms, and proper dinners under the stars. The drive out is long but the route itself (Atlas passes, gorges, kasbahs) is half the experience. We'll match the camp to your comfort level.
