Flights are extra.
Choosing between dozens of Morocco tour packages is hard. The routes look similar, the prices vary a lot and the small print is rarely clear. This guide explains what a good package includes, how much it should cost in 2026, which route fits your days, and how to compare offers before you pay a deposit.

What is a Morocco tour package?
A Morocco tour package is a pre-planned trip where one company organises the main parts of your journey. Usually, that means a private vehicle with a driver-guide, your accommodation, at least one night in a Sahara camp and the key visits along the route. You arrive, and the logistics are already solved.
In Morocco, most quality packages are private tours. In other words, the car, the driver and the itinerary are only for you. That is very different from a bus tour of 40 people. It also means you can adjust the route, add a night or change hotels before you book.
What is included in a good package
Before comparing prices, compare what each price covers. A cheap offer often leaves out the expensive parts. Here is what a complete private package normally includes, and what it does not.
Usually included
- Private air-conditioned vehicle (4×4 or minivan) with fuel, tolls and parking
- An English- or Spanish-speaking driver-guide for the whole route
- Accommodation in riads, kasbahs or hotels, with breakfast
- One or two nights in a Sahara desert camp, with dinner and breakfast
- A camel ride into the dunes at sunset or sunrise
- Dinners on most travel days
- Pick-up and drop-off at your hotel, airport, train station or port
Usually not included
- International flights
- Lunches and drinks
- Entrance fees to monuments and museums
- Local licensed city guides in Fes or Marrakech (around half a day)
- Travel insurance
- Tips for the driver and hotel staff

Morocco tour package prices in 2026
Prices depend on three things: the number of days, the level of accommodation and how many people share the car. The table below shows indicative prices per person for a private tour with two travellers. Larger groups pay less per person, because the vehicle and driver cost the same.
| Package | Standard | Luxury | What changes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 days Marrakech-Sahara | 250-450 € | 550-900 € | Camp level (standard vs luxury tent) |
| 4-5 days Sahara loop | 400-650 € | 900-1,500 € | Extra night in the Dades or Todra gorges |
| 7-8 days Marrakech, Sahara, Fes | 750-1,100 € | 1,800-3,200 € | Riads in Fes and Marrakech |
| 10-12 days classic loop | 1,100-1,700 € | 2,600-4,400 € | Chefchaouen and the coast |
| 14-15 days grand tour | 1,400-2,200 € | 3,300-5,500 € | More nights in luxury riads |
These are guide prices for 2026, not fixed rates. Your quote depends on your exact dates and hotels. For a luxury or VIP trip with private dinners, a hot-air balloon or a helicopter transfer, budgets start at about 4,000 € per person.
What makes a package more expensive
- Season: Easter, Christmas and New Year are the most expensive weeks.
- Camp level: a luxury tent with a private bathroom costs two or three times a standard tent.
- Riad level: boutique riads in Marrakech and Fes vary from 60 € to more than 400 € a night.
- Group size: a solo traveller pays the full vehicle cost alone.
- One-way routes: a tour that ends in another city may add a return transfer for the driver.
Packages by trip length
The number of days is the most important choice. Morocco is larger than it looks on a map. For example, Marrakech to Merzouga is about 560 km, and the road crosses the High Atlas.
3 days: a short Sahara escape
Three days is the minimum for the real Sahara dunes. You leave Marrakech, cross the Tizi n’Tichka pass, visit Ait Ben Haddou, sleep in the Dades Valley, ride a camel at Erg Chebbi and return. It is a long but unforgettable trip. See the 3 days tour from Marrakech to the desert or, if you are flying out of Fes, the 3 days tour from Marrakech to Fes.
If you only have two days, the 2 days tour to Zagora reaches smaller dunes with much less driving.
4-5 days: the comfortable desert loop
With four or five days, the drive becomes relaxed. You can add a night in the Todra Gorge or a second night in the desert. Popular options are the 4 days tour from Marrakech to the Sahara, the 5 days tour from Marrakech to the Sahara Desert and the 5 days tour from Marrakech to Fes.
7-8 days: the best first trip to Morocco
One week is the sweet spot for most travellers. You see Marrakech, the Atlas, the Sahara and Fes without rushing. Our 7 days private tour from Marrakech and the 7 days private tour from Casablanca are the most booked. For a full plan, read the 7 days in Morocco itinerary.
10-15 days: the complete Morocco
With ten days or more, you add Chefchaouen, Rabat, Volubilis and the Atlantic coast. Look at the 10 days Morocco itinerary from Casablanca, the 12 days tour from Marrakech and the 15 days tour from Casablanca. Our 2 weeks in Morocco itinerary shows how to split the nights.
Packages by starting city
The best starting point depends on your flight or ferry. Moreover, choosing the right city avoids wasting a day on transfers.
| Starting city | Best for | Example package |
|---|---|---|
| Marrakech | Most flights from Europe; the Sahara in 3 days | Tours from Marrakech |
| Fes | Shortest road to Merzouga (about 7 hours) | Tours from Fes |
| Casablanca | Long-haul flights from the Americas and Asia | Tours from Casablanca |
| Tangier | Ferries from Spain and Chefchaouen first | Tours from Tangier |
| Errachidia | Closest airport to the dunes | 3 days desert tour from Errachidia |
Arriving from Spain by boat? Our guide to the ferry from Spain to Morocco explains the crossings to Tangier.
Private, group or luxury: which package fits you?
Private tours
A private tour is the best value for couples, families and friends. You decide when to stop for photos, how long to stay in a kasbah and which hotels you prefer. Our article on private vs group tours in Morocco compares both options in detail.
Group tours
Shared group tours are cheaper for solo travellers, but they follow fixed dates, larger vehicles and standard camps. They suit backpackers with a tight budget and flexible expectations.
Luxury and VIP packages
Luxury packages use boutique riads, luxury desert camps with private bathrooms and the most experienced guides. VIP trips add private dinners, a hot-air balloon over Marrakech, private hammam sessions and sometimes domestic flights. The Morocco highlights tour shows a full luxury route.
Honeymoon and family packages
For a honeymoon, we recommend a slower pace: two nights in the desert, a riad with a private terrace and an ending in Essaouira. For families, shorter driving days, family rooms and activities such as quad bikes in Agafay work best.
Add-ons that make a package better
Day trips are an easy way to complete a package before or after the main tour. From Marrakech, the most popular are Essaouira, the Ourika Valley, Imlil and the Atlas, the Ouzoud waterfalls and the Agafay quad and camel ride. From Fes, the Volubilis day trip adds Roman ruins and the holy town of Moulay Idriss.
When to book your Morocco tour package
The best seasons for most routes are spring and autumn. Summer is very hot in the desert, and winter nights in the Sahara can drop close to 0 °C. Our guide to the best time to visit Morocco covers each month.
- Easter, Christmas and New Year: book 2-4 months ahead.
- Spring and autumn: book 4-8 weeks ahead.
- Summer and January-February: 2-3 weeks is often enough.
- Ramadan: tours run normally, but some restaurants close at lunchtime.
Note that Morocco moved to permanent GMT on 20 September 2026. As a result, sunset now comes one hour earlier on the clock than in previous years, which changes the timing of desert sunsets and evening visits.
How to compare offers: a 7-point checklist
Two offers with the same route can be very different trips. Before you pay, ask every company these questions.
- Is the tour fully private, or will other travellers join the car?
- Which camp exactly, and is the bathroom private or shared?
- Which riads or hotels, by name?
- Are dinners included every night?
- Is the driver also a guide, and does he speak your language?
- What is the deposit, and what happens if you cancel?
- Are there real, recent reviews on an independent platform?
Be careful with packages that are much cheaper than the rest. Usually, they save money on the camp, the vehicle or the hotels, or they add shopping stops with commissions. If you want a deeper look, read our guide to the best Morocco tour companies.

Is it better to book a private or a group tour in Morocco?
A private tour costs more per person, but you choose the dates, the pace, the hotels and the stops. Group tours are cheaper for solo travellers but follow fixed dates and larger vehicles. For couples, families and small groups, a private tour often costs only a little more.
When is the best time to book a Morocco tour package?
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the best seasons for most routes. Book two to four months ahead for Easter, Christmas and New Year, when desert camps and riads fill up first.

You pay a 20% deposit to confirm the booking and the remaining 80% in Morocco at the start of the tour. Cancellation is free up to 30 days before departure, with a full refund of the deposit.
Can a Morocco tour package start from Spain?
Yes. Many travellers take the ferry from Tarifa or Algeciras to Tangier and start the tour there, or fly from Madrid, Barcelona or Malaga to Marrakech, Fes or Tangier. The driver can meet you at the port or the airport.
Is a Morocco tour package safe for families and solo women?
Yes. A private driver-guide removes most of the stress of transport, touts and finding your way in the medinas. Families get flexible stops and family rooms, and solo women travel with a trusted local team throughout the trip.
