Before talking about Morocco tours, it is better to shed light on the best attractions in Morocco. Classifying attractions according a chronological order gives you insight about the planning of your tour. Therefore, you need to make a checklist like the one below.

Marrakech: It’s the top attraction in Morocco and receives millions of tourists every year including stars and celebrities. This city gathers all the wonders of the world and cannot be explained by simple words. If you travel to Morocco, this must be on the top of your checklist.

The Sahara Desert: If you dream of trekking camels and camping in the exotic Sahara, you must visit the Desert. It is the second-best attraction in Morocco. The Desert includes the Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou, Ouarzazate, and the biggest cinema studio in the world. Indeed, the desert has only one language: exoticism

Fez: No one needs to skip Fez, it is the spiritual heart of Morocco. Known as the oldest surviving city in the world, this city will take you back in time. With its building that dates back to the 11th century, Fez kept its buildings intact. What’s surprising also, is that people are still living in these buildings.

Chefchaouen: If you have an Instagram account, you mustn’t skip this city. It is nicknamed “Instagram City” since it has been visited by millions of Instagrammers. The city is all blue and unique.

Essaouira: This city presents the influence of Spanish and Portuguese influences. Recently, it has been featured in the Game of Thrones as Astrapor, A place where Daenerys Targaryen meets the slave master to buy her Unsullied army.

Finally, we come to the popular Morocco tours from Canada. We will talk about each type and what makes it different.

Generally, there are 3 types of Morocco tours.

The tours that start in Casablanca are generally long. Therefore, they include 6 days to 14 days. For a comfortable trip, you need to book at least 7 days so see some of the main attractions.

If you are looking for Morocco tours from Canada, you need to know the difference between the tours.

7 days tour includes all the main attractions except Chefchaouen and Essaouira. The short duration makes it impossible to visit all those places as not to end spending almost all your vacation in the car.

10 days Morocco tour is our popular tour among the long tours. The tour offers you the privilege of experiencing top attractions for more time and enjoy the places you visit. It includes all the attractions except Essaouira.

14 days Morocco tours include all the attractions. The tour allows you to experience Morocco in the dept. You spend more time in some places, you meet locals, you wonder in the cities… It includes all that a traveler looks for in his vacation.

Generally, Morocco tours that start from Marrakech are short tours. If you have only a short time that varies between 3 days and 5 days, you need to book from Marrakech.

The tours from Marrakech are great if you like to visit the desert. As it is close, many travelers book 3 days to the desert of Merzouga. So, the distance between civilization and primitivism is just 3 days.

Although 3 days tours are popular, some travelers prefer 4 days tours. This is because on the last day of 3 days tours, you spend almost 10 hours in the car when you travel back from Merzouga to Marrakech. Therefore, 4 days solved this problem and split the itinerary into 2.

So instead of traveling directly to Marrakech, you travel to Ouarzazate, and then to Marrakech the next day. It is this what makes 4 days tours so appealing.

As far as 5 days, it includes all the activities, the comfort, and joy of traveling. Also, you spend an extra day in the desert to meet nomads and drink mint tea with them.

If you need to visit Fez and Marrakech alondside with the Desert, these tours are for you. The tours from Fez head over the desert and often ends in Marrakech.

Exactly like Marrakech Desert tours, Fez tours are short tours. Therefore, you have the option to travel north and visit Chefchaouen, Meknes, Rabat, and Casablanca, or head south to ride camels and visit Marrakech.

If it’s your first time in Morocco from Canada, we advise you to visit the south since the main attractions are located in the south.

The popular tours that start in Fez for Canadians include:

The tours are all similar and you can visit the same places. However, the more the tour is long, the more time you spend to discover the places.

To sum up, there are 3 types of tours in Morocco. The tours that start in Casablanca, in Marrakech, and Fez.

Casablanca tours tend to be longer. therefore, if you travel for more than 7 days, we advise booking from Casablanca so that you can enjoy visiting many places. However, if your stay is short, we advise Marrakech especially if you traget just the desert.

In case you need to visit Fez and Marrakech alongside the desert, then the perfect place to start your tour is Fez.
