For this Morocco tour, pack comfortable clothes, walking shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen, a hat, and a light jacket. The weather can change between the coast, mountains, cities, and desert.

March, April, May, September, October, and November are very popular months because the weather is comfortable in most places. Winter is also a good time, especially for travelers who want cooler weather and quiet places. Summer can be hot in the desert, but the tour can still be organized with careful timing.
This tour can be arranged as a private Morocco tour, which means the vehicle, driver, and itinerary are for you and your travel group only. A private tour gives you more comfort, flexibility, and time to enjoy stops. Shared tours may also be possible depending on availability, dates, and group size, but for a 10 days tour from Casablanca, private travel is usually the best option.
You will spend two nights in the Merzouga area. One night is usually at or near the desert camp, and the second night allows you to enjoy a full desert excursion around Erg Chebbi.
