Okay, so here’s the thing – my fiancé Jake and I almost didn’t go to Morocco. I mean, who thinks desert camping sounds romantic when you can’t even agree on the thermostat at home? But honestly? Best. Decision. Ever. Three months later, I’m still finding sand in weird places, and we’re already planning our return trip. If you’re on the fence about booking the best Morocco couple tour package, let me tell you why you absolutely should (and what nobody warns you about). Why Everyone’s Suddenly Obsessed with Morocco Tours Look, I get it. Morocco wasn’t on our radar either. We were planning the typical Santorini thing until Jake’s coworker came back from Marrakech showing off photos that made us seriously rethink our basic beach vacation. Turns out, Morocco couple vacation packages 2025 are having a moment, and for good reason. While everyone else is fighting crowds in Tuscany, you’re riding camels into actual wilderness where the only sounds are wind and your guide telling stories his grandfather told him. It’s different. Really different. What Nobody Tells You About Desert Romance First off, forget everything you’ve seen in movies about Sahara desert romantic escape experiences. The reality? So much better and weirder than Hollywood makes it look. Jake – who normally complains about anything outdoors – spent two hours just staring at stars he’d never seen before. We’re talking full-on existential crisis level star-gazing. Meanwhile, I discovered I actually like mint tea (shocking, since I’m usually a coffee-only person). The luxury Sahara honeymoon experience isn’t about fancy room service. It’s about waking up to complete silence except for maybe a camel snorting nearby. Your “bathroom” might be a short walk away, but who cares when you’re brushing your teeth while watching the sun paint entire mountain ranges gold? Reality Check: It’s Not Always Instagram-Perfect Can we be real for a minute? Some moments are messy. Camels smell. Sand gets literally everywhere (and I mean everywhere). The first night, Jake and I both panicked a little about being so far from… well, everything. But here’s the weird part – those imperfect moments became our favorite memories. Like when I completely failed at mounting my camel and ended up in a giggling heap while our guide patiently helped me try again. Or when Jake accidentally ordered sheep brain at dinner and we both pretended it was delicious until our guide started laughing and offered us chicken instead. How to Actually Plan This Thing Planning a romantic Morocco itinerary feels overwhelming at first. Trust me, I spent weeks reading reviews and getting confused by different companies promising similar things. Timing Your Trip (Spoiler: Winter Is Actually Perfect) Everyone assumes summer, right? Wrong. Best time visit Morocco couples is October through March. I know, I know – winter doesn’t sound romantic. But desert winter means perfect weather for hiking and cool nights ideal for snuggling around campfires. We went in November. Daytime temperatures were perfect for exploring (no sweating through cute outfits), and evenings.
This was a unique experience which me and my family will cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you Abidine for making it possible. Your prompt response to all... read more my queries helped me plan my trip better. A million thanks to Ismail (our guide) who made sure we had a wonderful time through the trip. We feel like we made a great friend in him. From introducing us to local music, to tirelessly driving the 4 days, to taking us to these amazing riads run by the most wonderful people, to showing us the main sites to see along the way - he was simply amazing. This tour helped us experience Morocco in a way that no other tour could. We met amazing families who hosted us. The desert camp was spectacular. I was worried that being a vegetarian and not being able to speak arabic or french would be major hurdles - definitely not so. This tour made it so easy to manage. This is something I would recommend to anyone planning on spending time in Morocco.

Our honeymoon in Morocco was unreal thanks to Abidine . The planning was seamless and stress free. We simply highlighted the destinations we wanted to visit and the rest was... read more magic. From the hotels, food and guides there was not one complaint. The culture, people and architecture is outstanding.
One highlight of our trip was the outstanding customer service. We received treatment as if we were staying at the Riad everywhere. Moroccan's are deeply invested in tourism. Our driver, Ismail was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He kept us safe and on schedule as well as provided great company. He tied the whole trip together and we could not have imagined a better trip leader.
I am recommending PRIVATE DESERT TOURS to all of my friends and family. We plan to use their service again in the near future.

Me and another 3 friends went to morocco to spend a week there. We had the incredible luck of having Abdul as a guide for the whole trip. Not only... read more did he prepare all the points of interest to visit according to our demands and timetable, but he also ensured that we had the best of the experiences there: he drove us through the desert for the whole week with a smile, we listened to both his and our music while traversing amazing landscapes, stopping whenever we required to rest and eat at the places he recommended, which never disappointed. He also took us to the most remarkable cities and places: I will never forget our days at marraketch or the dunes in the desert and sleeping surrounded by them and the stars. 11 out of 10. I couldn't imagine a better guide for such a travel.

A Great Experience - We hired Private Desert Tours to take 4 of us around Morocco for 11 days, and we were more than pleased with our experience!
Starting with our communications with... read more Abiden, that were always promptly and professionally answered, to our days with Ismail, as our driver, we were more than happy!
Abiden set our tour up to take us where we asked, and had every detail covered. He had Ismail, our driver , meet us at the airport, and take us to our Riad. From that moment on, Ismail took care of us. He was an excellent, polite and courteous driver through all our long journeys around this amazing country! Every day Ismail got us where ever we were supposed to be. In the evening, he made sure we were settled at our Riad, before leaving us. Ismail would be at our Riad on time each morning to help us get our luggage to the car, and be on our way.
We journeyed from Marrakesh, to Essaouira, to Casablanca, Rabat, then Chefchouan, to Meknès, Merzouga ( the desert), and beyond with Ismail. We switched drivers before heading in through the High Atlas Mountains, as Ismail had to start with a new group. Our new driver, Adeel, was a very careful, confident driver through those rugged mountains, and on to Marrakesh.
In order to see as much of the country as possible, we put on a lot of kilometres. Some days had long stretches of driving, but we saw so many incredible wonders in this diverse and beautiful country!
Many thanks to Abiden, Ismail, and Adele for a trip of a lifetime!

My friend recommended this private desert tour once he got back from his trip to Marrakech. He talked highly about Abidine and his team. I was worry about the heat... read more and some other logistics stuff but my confidence got boosted up as Abidine was very responsive and gave us a lot of informations. We were blessed to have Ismael as our driver and travel companion. Abidine and Ismael really took my worries away. Ismael was very on time yet very flexible with our requests. I could not memorize all the places he took us to but all of these places made my Morocco experience completed. Some of the tours that really stays in my heart is the visit to Ait Ben Haddou, the Berber house where Beber womens make rugs, and of course the Sahara adventures. Ismael was not only our driver, he also become a friend for a life time. It’s amazing how trust built in only a day. That’s how sweet and good he is. His driving is very good as well. My husband said he feel save traveling with him. When Ismael performed the Berber music in the camp, it was a perfect icing on the cake. I definitely going to recommend this tour to every single people I know who will go to Morocco! All in all.....SUPER!!!

Amazing experience - This year I decided to do my yearly birthday trip in Morocco and I knew I wanted to see more than just Marakesh. I found PDT via Google and after... read more a few emails back and forth Abidene managed to tailor the tour to my desire (from Marakesh to Dades valley, desert, Fes, Chefchaouen, Meknes, Casablanca and back to Marakesh)
The tour itself was lovely, we met very hospitable local people and learned a little bit about the history of Morocco, even managed to forget my fear and rode a camel.
Ismail, our driver, was very nice, friendly and most importantly was an excellent driver which is quite a quality to have here:))
On my birthday (even though I kept it a secret), I was surprised with a birthday cake and a present to remember the trip. Kudos also to the Fes local guide that was amazing and managed to organize for me a lot of tiny surprises on my birthday. He made us regret not spending more time in Fes, maybe next time.
Overall the tour was memorable experience that I definitely recommend. We will definitely book another tour with PDT when we visit Morocco again.

Couscous’s Desert Camel - Excellent ride through the desert on the Japanese camel. Truly hilarious, unique and amazing out-of-this-world experience.
