10 Day Luxury Morocco Tour: Private Car, Camp Night and Full Board

Included, and What Is Not

The inclusions list is long for a Morocco package. A comfortable private air-conditioned car runs the whole trip. The 9 nights are in luxury 4 to 5-star accommodations, one of them in a luxurious desert camp. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are covered, along with water and snacks during the trip, which most competing packages do not offer since they usually skip lunch. Camel rides in the desert, private sightseeing with local guides in Marrakech, Fes and Volubilis, and all fees and taxes complete the list.

The exclusions are short but real: meals not mentioned, drinks and any personal expenses. Other drinks at dinner come out of your pocket. Monument entrances are not itemised even though fees and taxes are listed as included, so ask the operator before booking which tickets sit inside the price. Tips are not mentioned at all. Drivers and guides in Morocco are commonly tipped around 100 to 150 MAD for a full day, and riad staff about 100 MAD per day per room.

Compared with the rest of the market, the gap is clear. The 10-Day Morocco Desert Tour via Imperial Cities costs less on the card but leaves lunches, monument entrances and a 4x4 desert tour outside the price, and Viator adds $302 in extra charges at checkout. This listing folds most of that in, which is a fair part of why it carries the highest price here.

Upgrades and Single Travellers

The from-price buys the standard luxury tier of 4 to 5-star hotels and riads. The operator also sells premium and VIP options that promise the finest hotels and riads at each stop, and the listing does not state what they cost. Solo travellers should note that the price is quoted per person and no single supplement figure is given, so ask before booking.

The listing calls the camp luxurious, but it does not name the camp or state whether tents have private bathrooms.

Arrival and the City Days

The trip opens with a welcome at the airport or your lodge, wherever you land in Morocco. No clock times are stated for any day, and the departure time is listed as check availability to see starting times. In Marrakech a private local guide leads the sightseeing in the medina, a UNESCO-listed old city whose red walls run about 19 km with 20 main gates. Jemaa el-Fnaa square, where dozens of food stalls fill the evenings, is the best-known stop in the medina.

The route takes in the High Atlas, the Sahara and Fes, but the listing does not give the order. Fes el-Bali was founded between 789 and 808 AD, so a private guide earns their keep in the tangle of lanes. Volubilis, a Roman city of about 42 hectares inside 2.6 km of walls, is guided on the same leg. The listing does not state which cities get overnight stops beyond the desert camp.

The Desert Night

The Sahara section is built around Erg Chebbi, a dune field about 28 km long and 5 to 7 km wide whose dunes rise to 150 m. The ride into camp is by camel, and rides to Merzouga camps generally take around an hour, leaving one to two hours before sunset. Dinner and breakfast at camp fall under the included meals. After the camp night the tour continues, and it ends wherever the operator drops you, since no return point or end city is stated.

The honest note here is driving time. The Marrakech to Merzouga road is given as 534.1 km by Rome2Rio and 560 km by KimKim, and sources put the drive anywhere from 8 to 13 hours. On a ten day loop with four anchor regions, at least one day will be a long one in the car. Pack for it, and ask the operator how the days are split before you book.

Budget, Time and Route

At $3,994 per person this is the most expensive package in the comparison, and the other ten day listings on the comparison start at $1,227. If the loop matters more than the room category, the 7-Day Private Casablanca to Marrakech Tour runs a similar route with an entrance fee included at a far lower price. If you want ten days rather than seven but can live with shared transport, the 10-Day Morocco Desert Tour via Imperial Cities covers Casablanca, Fes, the Sahara and Marrakech with lunches and entrances paid separately.

The listing also never names its start or end city, which matters if your flights only work from one airport. Travellers who want a fixed Casablanca start should look at the 11-Day Private Morocco Tour Package, which runs Casablanca to Marrakech with walking guides in five cities, one day longer for far less money.

Practical Limits

The listing prices infants 0 to 5, children 6 to 11 and adults 12 to 80 in separate bands. These are price bands, not participation limits, so ask the operator about younger children before assuming anything. The tour is wheelchair accessible according to the listing, including the transport and all areas and surfaces, and suitable for all fitness levels.

Service animals are allowed and infant seats are available. The real demands are the long drive days across the Atlas, the camel ride into camp, and desert nights that can drop near freezing in winter at Merzouga. If cold nights put you off, read the guide to a luxury desert camp in Merzouga before you commit, and if you want a shorter luxury loop, the 7-Day Luxury Morocco Tour covers Marrakech, Erg Chebbi, Fes and Volubilis in boutique riads.

Flying in

Morocco's main airports are Casablanca Mohammed V (CMN), Marrakesh Menara (RAK), Fez-Saiss (FEZ), Tangier Ibn Battouta (TNG) and Rabat-Sale (RBA). Casablanca Mohammed V is the busiest with about 10.4 million passengers in 2024 and an hourly Al Bidaoui train into the city from 04:00 to 23:00. Marrakesh Menara handled about 9.3 million in 2024 and sits closest to the Atlas crossing.

Since the operator picks you up at the airport or your lodge in any of them, pick the airport with the best fare for your dates and confirm the pickup point with the operator when booking.

Before and After

Casablanca is not a stated stop on this route, so it rewards an extra day. In Casablanca the Hassan II Mosque has a minaret of about 210 m (one guide says 200 m), among the tallest in the world, and guided visits cost 140 MAD per the official foundation page with an older guide quoting 130 MAD. In Marrakech the Majorelle Garden charges 170 MAD general admission on its official site. Marrakech averages 12.5 C in January and summer highs near 38 C, so spring and autumn are the comfortable months for city walking.

If you have one more day, the coast is an easy add. Marrakech to Essaouira is 176 km and about 2 h 24 min by road per Rome2Rio, though buses take around 3 hours. For desert context before you go, read the Merzouga guide and the page on the best time to visit Morocco.
