Morocco Rediscovered's Suggested Holiday Itineraries
From our wealth of experience of working in, and travelling around, Morocco as well as putting together practical and interesting itineraries for our clients we would like to recommend the following suggestions for you to make the most of your time in this fascinating country.
|
Weekend breaks |
||
|
With many direct flights to Marrakech from Gatwick, Manchester and Luton, it is now possible to do justice to a visit to Morocco's 'capital of the south'. These flights are available to book one-way so there is lots of flexibility. |
|
| Flights are also available to Fez, Agadir and Ouarzazate with a short connection at Casablanca which make these diverse destinations available for the longer weekend or short break. | ||
| Don't overlook Casablanca which, although primarily a business city, does have some good hotels and can be used a convenient base to visit the Imperial Cities of Rabat and Meknes as well as the impressive Roman ruins at Volubilis. Flights to Casablanca are also more flexible as we can offer connections from most UK airports via Paris or Frankfurt to arrive and depart at sensible times. | ||
| Tangier, closest city to Europe but still very Moroccan is a shorter flight (direct on Tuesdays and Saturdays all year and 4-times weekly in Summer). Hotels here are excellent value and Tangier is crammed full of history (its position during the Cold War and other great 'spying' periods of the 19th and 20th Century is legendary). There are also opportunities to visit nearby villages and areas of scenic beauty in the mountains or along the twin coastline (i.e. Mediterranean and Atlantic). | ||
Twin-centres |
||
Without repeating the virtues of each destination, which are covered well on their own pages, here is a list of the most popular and recommended combinations and no. of days to do them justice: |
(NB: it is possible to arrive into one airport and depart from another without amending costs in most circumstances, e.g. arrive into Marrakech for 3nts and transfer to Taroudant for 4nts then depart from Agadir; the alternative would be usually to return to Marrakech for the last night for shorter transfer on departure days). |
|
|
||
| One week | ||
| (destination on left is most convenient and popular arrival point) | ||
Marrakech can be combined with: Essaouira / High Atlas Mtns / Agadir / Taroudant. |
||
|
||
Fez can be combined with: Rabat / Tangier or Asilah / Meknes / Casablanca / Marrakech. |
||
| Agadir can be combined with: Essaouira / Immouzer / Taroudant / Tiznit / Tafraoute. | ||
| Ouarzazate can be combined with: Marrakech / Taroudant / Agadir / Zagora or desert circuit. | ||
| Tangier can be combined with: Asilah / Fez / Meknes / Rabat / Gibraltar. | ||
Multi-centres |
|||
With 10 days or more it is possible to visit many parts of Morocco within the same holiday. Below are a few examples of our recommendations and most popular requests: |
|||
* Marrakech combined with ... High Atlas (e.g. Ouirgane) and Atlantic Coast (e.g. Essaouira). |
|||
* Marrakech combined with .... tour of south (either self-drive or pre-booked mini-tour with one of our experienced, English-speaking drivers). |
![]() |
||
* Casablanca combined with ... Rabat, Fez, Mid Atlas and Marrakech (similar to the Medinas of Morocco Tour). |
![]() |
||
* Fez combined with ... circuit of High Atlas and desert region, finishing up in Marrakech. |
|||
|
|||
The combinations are almost endless so here are some practical driving times for you to consider your options (internal flights are reasonable but almost always necessitate a change at Casablanca making them a longer option than at first thought).
