FAQs

Questions about this trip

Is this a private tour, or will we share a vehicle with other travelers?

This 15-day Casablanca → Casablanca (grand loop) journey is entirely private — you'll have your own driver-guide and vehicle for your party alone, from pick-up to drop-off, with no other travelers joining your group.

What's included in the €2,587 per-person price?

The €2,587 per person (twin/double share) rate covers your private driver-guide and vehicle, handpicked accommodation each night, daily breakfast and 4 dinners, and all site and monument entrance fees noted in the itinerary. International flights, most lunches, and personal expenses aren't included — see the full breakdown above.

Can this itinerary be adjusted to our dates or interests?

Yes — since it's a private departure, you choose your own start date rather than joining a fixed group. If you'd like the Casablanca → Casablanca (grand loop) route itself reshaped around your interests, our Tailor-Made service can rebuild it from scratch.

What's the best time of year for this route?

Spring (March–May) and fall (September–November) offer the most comfortable temperatures across Morocco, including the Sahara sections of this itinerary. Summer brings intense desert heat, and desert nights turn cold in winter.

Is this trip physically demanding?

No special fitness is required. The camel trek and any walking sections are paced for everyday travelers, and your driver-guide handles the logistics — you're free to go at your own pace throughout the 15 days.
