Imperial Cities & Sahara Discovery Tour from Marrakech - K
Katherine • traveled in November, 2025
We did the 13 day tour which included Casablanca, Marrakech, Tangiers, Rabat, Fez, many villages, the Atlas Mountains & Sahara desert. The days were very busy, with a lot to see. The itinerary was followed (with some small modifications). We asked to start the tour in Casablanca, and added Days 1 & 2 to the end of the tour. The tour agency was very helpful in arranging this. ORGANIZATION: Our group ranged from 4-14 people, according to where we were. In some cases additional people were present just for the day tour. Overall the tour was well organized. However in many cases we would only be advised the evening before of our pickup time the next day-several times we had the wrong pickup info as a consequence. It would be better if we were given info more in advance. HOTELS: All the hotels (other than the Delarosa in Marrakech) were not the ones indicated in the brochure. However all were of comparable price and quality. GUIDES: All the guides were excellent with respect to their knowledge & enthusiasm. We would like to acknowledge all of them: CASABLANCA Driver Mehdi, Guide Sila TANGIER Driver Nor, Guide Mohammed CHEFCHAOUEN Driver Nor, Guide Abdul RABAT Driver Adnan (for 5 days), Guide (1 day) Isham VOLUBILIS Guide Abdul FES Guide Rashid TINGHIT Guide Jamal MEZOUGHA Camel guide Hussain ATLAS FILM STUDIOS Guide Brad Pitt MARRAKESH Guide Hachim. There were many sites to see, and in some cases we ran out of time, or finished too late in the day. In retrospect, it would have been helpful if the guides had explained what we were doing that day & explained the timeline so we could adapt. FOOD: All hotels had a generous breakfast buffet included. The food was excellent and varied. Lunch & dinner was paid by us. A MAJOR COMPLAINT WAS THE INSISTENCE OF EVERY GUIDE TO TAKE US TO THEIR CHOSEN RESTAURANT. In spite of our REPEATED REQUESTS for small lunches (sandwich style), every guide insisted on taking us to a certain (a friend’s?) restaurant that had a set tourist menu for a full meal, and in most cases, had NO PRICES on the menu. A menu without prices is a warning signal for “overpriced- tourist beware”. And given that every guide did the same, clearly this is a common practice. This is the ONLY MAJOR COMPLAINT WE HAD FOR THE TOUR. BUT IT WAS CONSISTENTLY FRUSTRATING. OVERALL RATING: 8.5/10

Best time to visit Sahara Desert
- Winter 2025 / 2026
The Imperial Cities tour really hits its stride from November through February - our TourRadar customers tell us they particularly enjoy exploring Fes medina without the intense heat. The winter desert camping needs proper layers, but you'll be rewarded with exceptionally clear night skies for stargazing. Several tours blend time in Chefchaouen's blue streets with desert exploration, and the views of snowy Atlas Mountains against golden dunes make for fantastic photos. Our guides know exactly when to time the desert portions and they'll make sure you're set up right for those cool desert nights - temperatures can really drop after sunset.

- Spring 2026
Spring tours through the Imperial Cities and Sahara show remarkable attention to seasonal advantages. The 13-day routes from Casablanca earn consistent praise from our TourRadar customers, particularly for the chance to explore Hassan II Mosque in comfortable temperatures, before venturing into the desert landscapes. Many opt for tours linking the Sahara experience with stops in Tangier, Chefchaouen and also the Rif Mountains, where hiking conditions hit their sweet spot. The autumn-like temperatures work perfectly for both walking ancient medinas and desert camping – you'll spend cool mornings wandering souks, afternoons climbing kasbahs and evenings watching sunset from camelback. Our travelers tell us they particularly enjoy exploring Fes medina without intense heat, while getting fantastic photos of snowy Atlas Mountains contrasting against golden dunes. The desert portions are timed thoughtfully by guides who ensure you're prepared for those cooler spring desert nights.

For summer desert explorations, our best-selling tours skillfully balance outdoor activities with cultural experiences while staying smart about the heat. TourRadar customers love our tours combining early morning camel rides across Erg Chebbi dunes, with afternoon visits to palm oases and traditional kasbahs during peak temperatures. A comprehensive 13-day journey takes you from Casablanca to Marrakech through diverse terrain, and includes extended stays at well-equipped desert camps with proper cooling. There's also a popular 4-day desert-focused route that includes cycling through Todra Gorge, exploring ancient film studios in Ouarzazate and also nights in comfortable desert camps. Our guides carefully orchestrate summer activities - desert exploration happens at sunrise or sunset, midday hours are spent in shaded markets or visiting fossil workshops in Erfoud, while evenings unfold under starlit skies as temperatures drop. Our travelers often tell us how much they value the thoughtful activity scheduling and balanced mix of cultural visits with outdoor experiences during the warmer season.

- Fall / Autumn 2026
Fall brings some of our most popular desert journeys. The 13-day Morocco tour from Casablanca lets you explore Hassan II Mosque in just the right weather before heading into the desert. Our travelers give high marks to the Imperial Cities route in autumn - you can properly enjoy walking through ancient medinas and climbing kasbahs without overheating. A number of tours connect the Sahara experience with stops in Tangier, Chefchaouen and also the Rif Mountains, where the hiking conditions are just right. The autumn temperatures work perfectly for both city walks and desert camping - you'll spend comfortable mornings in the souks and cool evenings watching the sun set from camelback.
