Morocco Tours in September 2026

Cycling from the Atlas to the Sahara gave us an excellent chance to see that part of Morocco, from both the bikes and the van. The routes chosen for cycling were safe and offered great views. The tour guides were very friendly and helpful. The bikes were comfortable and appropriate for the terrain. It was fun to move from the cycle saddle to the camel saddle when we reached the Sahara. Unfortunately most of the cycling happened in the afternoon when the temperatures were at their daily peak, but the van was always nearby with water refills. And picnic lunches were in what little shade could be found. I'd highly recommend this trip to those who are confident cyclists; it's not for the casual cyclist who is not comfortable riding occasionally with traffic or on uneven surfaces, or speeding down long descents. I typically don't use tour companies for bike touring but I'm very happy we went with Explore in Morocco.

This was quite a challenging tour, but we were well rewarded for our efforts. The highlight was the camel ride out to the desert camp with the sunset and sunrise over the dunes. A once in a lifetime experience. The guides were knowledgeable and attentive. Other reviews mentioned they were disappointed with the accommodations, but they were fine. The bs were comfortable and the air conditioning worked. The food all the way along was great. Very fresh. Overall we had a great time.

Excellent holiday but perhaps the long day driving to see the roman ruins and the vineyard could be missed out. It was a considerable amount of driving for a 30 min tour of the ruins and a 10 min tour of the vineyard. Another night at Ouzoud would perhaps be better. The local guides were excellent, in particular the two in Marrakech and Essaouria. Very insightful. Riads and Dars were all excellent (with much needed air conditioning). The meals in the family homes were a lovely insight into local culture with mouth watering food.

We went in September. It was 40°C in Marrakech but a lot cooler in the mountains. Beautiful unique scenery, with added goats, mules and sheep. Walking pace was steady and the whole group made the summit of Toubkal. Food good and varied. Base campsite a bit grubby. Medina in Marrakech is walkable from hotel (2km). Don't expect to find alcohol here. We'd definitely recommend this trip, which enables acclimatisation to the altitude.

An lovely tour that really took you through the heart of Morocco. From the local markets, the mountains and the Sahara desert. Those were just a few of many great ventures we took seeing so much of the country!

Tackling most of Morocco in under two weeks can sound intimidating, particularly in the peak of summer with two young kids. But any concerns we had were quickly put to rest. The itinerary was well coordinated with excellent and thoughtful guides at every stop. We were able to feel immersed in the culture while also feeling safe. Mehdi – our driver – was with us the whole time and was spectacular. Mehdi was a delight to spend time with and is a fantastic representative for his country. He was also great with our kids and always kept our safety and hydration top of mind. This was our second trip with Charlie, and we were not disappointed. We walked away with memories for a lifetime.
