Is the stay departing from France? From which airport? Is it included in the price? Are lunches included? Is the camel ride mandatory? We want to extend our stay in Morocco and do not need the return flight, can you only count the outbound flight?

The stay does not include departure from France. You will need to organize your flight from your chosen airport. The package price does not cover this flight. The package includes arrival transfer to Rabat and departure transfer to Marrakech. Lunches are not included in the package. The camel ride is not mandatory. If you prefer, you can access the Sahara by 4x4. Even if you decide not to use the departure transfer, the price of the stay will remain the same. We recommend organizing your own round-trip flight according to your needs.

Do you have this tour itinerary start and end in Casablanca?

We have a similar tour starting and finishing in Casablanca "Morocco Uncovered Tour from Casablanca".

Is this Rabat to Marrakech tour available starting on Friday 5th April?

Regrettably, the tour as advertised is unavailable on April 5th. Nevertheless, we would be pleased to organize a private tour for you if you are interested.

I am only one person travelling. Would you have any confirmed (guaranteed to depart) tours that I could join departing Casablanca 1st or 2nd Jan 2024 for 9 days or less.

Tours departing from Casablanca and last 9 days or less, which are guaranteed to depart on early January days, departs starting from January 5th 2024. Three tours are available: Imperial Cities & Sahara Discovery Tour (8 days), Best of Morocco Discovery Tour (6 days), and Morocco Uncovered Tour (8 days).

Do you pick up from Marrakech?

We have the same tour starting from Marrakech on 17 Dec.

Can you please confirm all the 4-star hotels that will be used for this trip? This tour does not even include Casablanca, so not sure why we would be staying in Novotel Casablanca?

We use ibis hotel chain for 3* hotels and if you wish to upgrade to 4* hotels, we use the following: Dellarosa boutique hotel Marrakech, Novotel Casablanca City center, Volubilis hôtel fez.

We are glad to have the the tour guide, Tarek, and driver, Adnan in the trip. Both are friendly and helpful in many ways as it made our 'Imperial Cities & the Sahara Tour' most pleasant & memorable. However, we would have enjoyed more if the Merzouga Desert camp stay was with AC or/and fan as we could not sleep with the scorcing heat at night.Show more

Reply from: Discover Morocco
Dear Sulaiman, Thank you for your positive feedback about Tarek and Adnan, and we're delighted that you had a pleasant Imperial Cities & Sahara Tour. We value your input regarding the Merzouga Desert camp and will take your suggestion for AC or a fan into consideration for future improvements. Your satisfaction is important to us.
