Your Morocco trip cost depends less on the country – Morocco is good value – and more on the choices you make: the season, the number of travellers, the style of hotels and how many days you spend on the road. Here are the five things that change your budget the most, so you can understand any quote you receive.
1. Season and dates: the biggest Morocco trip cost factor
Spring, autumn, Easter and the Christmas–New Year period are the busiest times. Riads and desert camps charge more and sell out first. Winter (outside the holidays) and summer are quieter and often cheaper.
2. Group size
A private vehicle and driver cost the same whether you are two or six people, so the price per person drops as the group grows. Couples pay a little more per person than families or groups of friends sharing the same car.
3. Hotels and desert camps
Accommodation is the biggest variable. Simple, clean riads are very affordable; boutique riads and kasbah hotels cost more; and the desert camp can range from a standard tent with shared bathrooms to a luxury tent with a private bathroom and king-size bed. We always list the hotels in your quote so you can compare.
4. Route and number of days
Longer routes cost more in total but less per day, because the vehicle is used efficiently. One-way routes – for example the 6 Day Tour from Tangier to Marrakech – avoid paying for a long empty drive back.
5. Extras on the road
- Lunches are usually not included, so you can choose where and how much to eat.
- Entrance fees for monuments and museums are low but add up on long trips.
- Local guides in Fes and Marrakech are paid by the half day.
- Activities such as quad biking, hot-air balloons or a hammam are optional.
- Tips for drivers, guides and camp staff are customary and appreciated.
