Your Journey to the Heart of Morocco

At Authentic Morocco Travel, we believe the best adventures are those where you feel completely at ease. Whether you are dreaming of the golden dunes of the Sahara or the vibrant souks of Marrakech, we’ve gathered everything you need to know to prepare for your private Moroccan tour.
Why should I choose a private tour over a group tour?

Choosing a private Morocco tour means the itinerary moves at your pace, not a busload of strangers. You’ll enjoy the undivided attention of our expert local guides, the flexibility to linger at a hidden gem, and the comfort of our premium, air-conditioned 4x4 vehicles. We specialize in tailor-made Morocco holidays that connect you deeply with our culture, heritage, and people.

Absolutely. Morocco is widely recognized as one of the safest and most hospitable destinations in North Africa. As a family-run operator, your safety is our personal priority. We design family-friendly Morocco tours with flexible schedules and child-safe activities. Solo travelers, especially women, find peace of mind with our professional drivers who act as your "local ambassadors" throughout the journey.

Morocco is a year-round destination, but the “sweet spots” are Spring (March to May) and Autumn (September to November). During these months, the weather is pleasantly warm—ideal for Atlas Mountain trekking or exploring the Imperial Cities. If you’re planning a Sahara Desert tour, the winter months (December to February) offer beautiful clear days, though nights in the dunes can be quite chilly!

Yes, that is what we do best. While we offer popular packages like our 8-day tour from Casablanca or luxury Marrakech desert trips, everything can be adjusted. From choosing between a traditional Riad or a luxury desert camp to adding a private cooking class in Fes, we work with you to craft a journey that is authentically yours.

To respect local customs while staying comfortable, we recommend “conservative-casual” attire. Think loose-fitting linen or cotton clothing that covers shoulders and knees. A light scarf is a must-have—it’s perfect for visiting mosques or protecting yourself from the sun and sand during a camel trek in Merzouga.

The local currency is the Moroccan Dirham (MAD). While credit cards are accepted in high-end hotels and restaurants in cities like Marrakech or Rabat, cash is essential for the souks and rural villages. Tipping is a cherished part of Moroccan culture; as a general rule, 10% is a lovely gesture for excellent service, and a per-diem tip for your private driver/guide is always appreciated at the end of your adventure.

Our private Morocco tour packages typically include luxury or standard accommodation, daily breakfast, dinner in the desert, a private vehicle with fuel, and your dedicated driver-guide. We leave lunch and some entrance fees flexible so you can choose where to eat and what to explore based on your mood that day!

Booking your authentic Morocco experience is simple. After we finalize your custom itinerary, we require a small deposit via our secure payment gateway to hold your dates. The remaining balance can be settled upon arrival in Morocco. We are a fully licensed tour operator registered with the Moroccan Ministry of Tourism, ensuring your investment is safe.
