Discover Marrakesh and the Sahara Desert

While many people consider spring and autumn to be the ideal seasons for a holiday in magnificent Morocco, we think the best time to visit is simply whenever you’re ready for an adventure. 

Leave your comfort zone behind and dive into a different way of life that will fill you with awe and wonder from the moment you arrive. Are you ready for everything Marrakesh has to offer?

Making the extra effort

The best guided tours of Morocco offer a glimpse into the local culture, as well as the must-see attractions. Regarding the local language, the majority of Moroccans speak a dialect of Arabic known as Darija. Learning a few common phrases will be much appreciated in the restaurants and souks, although French and English are also widely spoken and understood. 

There’s something cool about being able to converse in a new language, and the best guided tours provide a local expert who can help immerse you in the community rather than just being another tourist passing through Marrakesh. 

Explore the beauty beyond Marrakesh

While you could easily spend a week or more exploring the major attractions and hidden gems in Marrakesh, there’s a whole world of amazing places nearby. Our best Moroccan guided tours open your eyes and senses to the country’s natural beauty as well as its iconic cities. 

For example, being able to explore the majestic Atlas Mountains and the awe-inspiring Todra Gorge and experiencing the thrill of a camel ride through the dunes of the Sahara Desert are memories you’ll cherish forever. 

Once you’ve got a taste for adventure, there’s the option to round off your Moroccan guided tour with something truly spectacular. A hot air balloon ride over Marrakesh at sunrise is hard to put into words. Taking in the sights from above will make you fall in love with it all over again and is an astonishing and unbeatable way to round off your holiday in the Red City. 

Savour the flavours 

While you’ll have plenty of opportunities to treat your taste buds to flavorful and aromatic Moroccan cuisine such as couscous and zaalouk, the best guided tours give you the chance to learn a new skill for yourself. 

During your stay, there’s an option to take an authentic tagine cooking class, so you can conjure up tasty memories of your stay long after you’ve returned home. A versatile and warming stew is perfect for those cold winter nights. 

When is the best time to visit Morocco? 

The answer to this really depends on your preferences. Some people adore the heat of the summers, while for others, the shoulder seasons are more appealing due to lower (but still pleasant) temperatures. Because there are so many things to see and do in Marrakesh, you can still have an amazing time by arranging your sightseeing in the mornings and evenings when things have cooled down a bit.
