Morocco is a country of snake charmers, shooting stars and medinas where huge vats of dishes look more like magic potions than dinner.

To help, we’ve rounded up tour companies renowned for their local expertise and unique tour offerings of the country, as well as the top companies to suit a variety of travel styles - so can you leave with all the best memories of this country.

Longer trips through Morocco intertwine time in the kingpin cities of Marrakech and Casablanca with escapes to the star ceilinged Sahara and time outs on the coast such as Rabat and Essaouira.
When time is of the essence, heading straight north from Marrakech to experience the different sides of Marrakech is a must. From the bustling maze that is Marrakech, Tangier is a breath of fresh air, more cosmopolitan in nature due to its proximity to the Spanish south coast, and miles more laidback.
Every tour company worth its salt offers their own twist on the desert adventure tour, which sees you sleeping under the stars and riding camels at sunset in the Sahara. Day trips can be made from the bustling city of Marrakech for the time-pressed while longer stays allow you to explore further and indulge in more experiences such as camel rides and desert camp stays.
You can rock climb in Todra, join a camel train in the Sahara, and spend the night at a Berber camp when you book onto G’s Moroccan Desert Adventure tour.

With 10 days you can find yourself exploring further and deeper getting as far north as Tangier with tours that feature 10+ cities.
Spare 14+ for Morocco and you’ll endure the “grand tour”.

They can also include trips to neighbouring countries such as Spain and Portugal.
