Morocco sample itineraries

Choose a focused city-and-coast break or a longer route through historic cities. A desert extension needs extra days rather than a rushed add-on.

Days run from arrival at the destination to departure. International travel may add extra days. These flexible ideas are tailored to your dates, budget and travel party; flights, hotels, meals and activities are not included unless confirmed in your quote.
