Morocco Tours 18 Days from Casablanca

The price of €3060 per person covers accommodation in the hotels listed in the itinerary, all breakfasts, most lunches and dinners as indicated, a professional guide speaking English, French or Spanish, travel insurance provided by the operator, and all ground transport between the cities and attractions. Entrance fees to the sites mentioned in the program are also included. Any personal expenses, optional activities not listed, and tips for guides or drivers are not part of the base price.

No, international flights to Casablanca and the return flight to your home country are not included in the €3060 price. The tour begins and ends in Casablanca, and you will need to arrange your own air travel to and from the city. The operator can usually provide a recommendation for airlines, but the cost of those flights is separate.

Yes. Optional costs may include personal souvenirs, extra meals not covered by the program, additional drinks, optional excursions that are not listed, and gratuities for guides, drivers, and hotel staff. If you choose to upgrade rooms, add a spa treatment, or take a private camel ride beyond the scheduled one, those expenses are paid by the traveler.

The tour operator offers an installment plan for this itinerary, allowing you to pay a deposit to secure your place and the remaining balance in scheduled payments. Specific terms, such as the amount of the deposit and the dates of subsequent payments, are provided when you request a booking quote. You should confirm the exact schedule with the operator before confirming your reservation.

Cancellation policies vary by the date of the request. Generally, a full refund is available if you cancel more than 60 days before the start date, a 50 % refund for cancellations made between 30 and 60 days, and no refund for cancellations within 30 days of departure. Any non‑refundable deposits already paid are retained by the operator. Please review the specific terms in the booking contract for exact details.

Travel insurance is included in the tour price as part of the “Insurance” service listed. The coverage meets the minimum requirements for medical emergencies, trip interruption, and baggage loss for the duration of the 18‑day journey. While the provided policy is sufficient for most travelers, you may choose to purchase additional private insurance if you have specific needs or want higher coverage limits.

The first day typically begins in the morning after breakfast at the designated hotel in Casablanca. The exact meeting point is the hotel lobby where the guide will welcome the group. Precise start times are supplied in the pre‑departure information packet, and you will receive a detailed daily schedule a few days before the tour begins.

Yes. Ground transportation from Mohammed V International Airport to the hotel where the tour starts, and the return transfer from the final hotel back to the airport at the end of the 18‑day itinerary, are included in the price. The transfer is provided by a private coach or shuttle service arranged by the tour operator.

The tour uses a private coach with luggage space for two suitcases per person (up to 23 kg each) and one personal carry‑on. Larger items such as sports equipment may require an additional fee. The operator advises packing light, as you will be moving between several hotels and will need to handle your own bags during transfers.

Travelers often add one or two extra days in Casablanca before the tour begins to explore the city’s waterfront and museums, or to recover from a long flight. After the tour ends, a day in Casablanca or a short flight to Marrakech can provide additional time to visit sites not covered in the itinerary. These extensions are arranged independently and are not part of the base price.

Most countries require that your passport be valid for at least six months beyond the date of entry into Morocco. This is a standard requirement for international travel, and the tour operator advises checking your passport’s expiration date well in advance. If your passport does not meet this criterion, you should renew it before the departure date.

Travel insurance is included in the tour price, providing basic medical coverage, emergency evacuation, and trip interruption protection. While this meets the minimum requirements, travelers with pre‑existing medical conditions or those seeking higher limits for hospital stays or evacuation should consider purchasing supplemental private insurance. The operator can supply details of the included policy upon request.

The itinerary is designed for families and includes many child‑friendly activities such as camel rides, visits to coastal towns, and cultural workshops. However, some segments involve moderate walking, a short trek in the Sahara, and overnight stays in a bivouac camp, which may be challenging for very young children. Parents should assess the age and stamina of their children before booking.

The tour requires a moderate level of fitness. The camel trek in the Erg Chebbi desert involves several hours of sitting on a camel and walking short distances to the bivouac camp. The walk in the Todra Gorges is about 30 minutes on uneven terrain, and the visit to Ifrane includes a brief hike to view Barbary apes. Participants should be comfortable with daily walking of 3–5 km and occasional stairs.

Most of the itinerary involves comfortable transportation and guided city tours, which are senior‑friendly. The camel trek, short walk in the Todra Gorges, and the overnight bivouac in the desert involve uneven ground and limited facilities, which could be demanding for travelers with mobility issues. Seniors should discuss any concerns with the operator, who can suggest alternative arrangements or additional assistance.

The tour visits Casablanca’s Hassan II Mosque and Ain Diab Corniche, Rabat’s Bab Challah, Mausoleum of Mohammed V, Hassan Tower and Oudaya Kasbah, the coastal towns of Assilah and Tangier (including Cape Spartel and Hercules Caves), Chefchaouen’s blue‑washed medina, the Roman ruins of Volubilis, Meknes, Fez’s historic medina, Ifrane’s cedar forest, the Sahara desert at Erg Chebbi, Todra Gorge, Dades Valley, Ouarzazate, Ait Benhaddou Kasbah, Marrakech’s Majorelle Gardens, Koutoubia Tower, Saadian Tombs, Bahia Palace, Jemaa el‑Fna square, Essaouira, and the Portuguese fortifications of El Jadida.

Yes. The itinerary includes scheduled free periods in several locations, such as the afternoon in Marrakech after the guided city tour, a morning in Fez before the museum visit, and evenings in coastal towns like Essaouira. These gaps allow travelers to wander local markets, enjoy a café, or rest at the hotel. The exact length of free time is detailed in the daily schedule provided before departure.

The tour bundles accommodation, most meals, guide services, entrance fees, and all ground transport for €3060, which can be lower than the sum of individual bookings for hotels, private drivers, and entry tickets in Morocco. Additionally, the guide’s local knowledge reduces the time needed for self‑navigation. However, independent travelers may save money by choosing budget accommodations or using public transport, but they will need to invest more time in planning and logistics.

For travelers who have never been to Morocco, the 18‑day itinerary offers a comprehensive overview of the country’s cultural, historical, and natural highlights, from coastal cities to the Sahara desert. The guided components reduce language barriers and ensure access to major sites, while the varied pace allows acclimatization. First‑time visitors often find the structured program helpful for covering the breadth of Morocco without missing key experiences.

Before departure, ensure your passport is valid for at least six months, obtain any required visa, and purchase travel insurance if you need coverage beyond the included policy. Pack lightweight clothing for warm days, a warmer layer for desert evenings, comfortable walking shoes, a hat, sunscreen, and any personal medications. Bring a power adapter for Moroccan sockets (type C/E) and consider a small amount of local currency (dirhams) for tips and small purchases.

Travelers who value a structured, culturally rich itinerary with professional multilingual guides benefit most. This includes families seeking a safe, organized experience; first‑time visitors who want to see the major historic and natural sites without handling logistics; and mid‑range travelers who prefer comfortable accommodation and most meals included. The tour’s blend of city tours, mountain villages, and desert nights also appeals to adventure‑oriented guests who enjoy moderate physical activity.
