Morocco

The private camp on a Morocco Sahara journey sits deep in the Erg Chebbi dunes, with a fire and a sky thick with stars. The Sahara, Privately runs 8–10 days and adds camels at dawn and the silence of the desert. The dunes can also follow Marrakech, its riads and the Atlas in the 9–11 day Marrakech & the Desert journey.

A riad in Morocco's medina often hides behind an unmarked door with no sign, and the door opens onto a private courtyard of tile, water and silence. These riads open only through the right hands, and Forest Travel arranges them by name. They anchor the Marrakech & the Desert journey and the Imperial Cities journey, where Marrakech, Fez and the medinas are opened through the artisans.

Yes. In Fez, a private workshop with a master artisan can be arranged, where zellige, leather or brass is made by hand for you. These are workshops the tour groups never find, kept by a master who works for a few. The moment sits naturally within the 6–8 day Imperial Cities journey through Marrakech, Fez and the medinas.

Coast & Atlas is the calmest of the Morocco journeys, pairing Essaouira's breeze with the Atlas mountains over 8–10 days, paced unhurried. It is shaped around nature and calm rather than the cities and dunes of the Marrakech & the Desert or Imperial Cities journeys. Like every Morocco journey, it is a point of departure your advisor reshapes entirely around you.

There is no single best month to visit Morocco; the right timing depends on the experience you want. Your Forest Travel advisor matches it to your journey, whether that centres on the Sahara at dusk in a private Erg Chebbi camp, camels at dawn, the medinas of Marrakech and Fez, or Essaouira's breeze and the Atlas mountains. The aim is the light and the season worth being there for, and the weeks the crowds haven't found.

Most Morocco journeys run 6–11 days, depending on what you want to see. The Sahara, Privately takes 8–10 days, with a private dune camp and camels at dawn. Coast & Atlas runs 8–10 days, unhurried. Marrakech & the Desert takes 9–11 days and Imperial Cities 6–8 days, covering riads, the Atlas and a Sahara camp, or Marrakech, Fez and the medinas. Your advisor reshapes the length entirely around your pace.

Yes. Forest Travel designs every Morocco journey privately around you; its itineraries are points of departure, not packages, and your advisor reshapes them entirely. Riads behind unmarked doors, a private camp deep in the Erg Chebbi dunes and a private workshop with a Fez master in zellige, leather or brass open only through the right hands. Forest Travel arranges them by name and weaves them into one seamless journey.

A private Morocco journey starts from around US$1,100 per person per night, rising with the riad, the private camp in the Erg Chebbi dunes, private guiding and the length of the route. That is a starting point, not a quote: your advisor shares the range early and confirms the figure once the riads, the desert nights and the workshops in Fez are chosen. Forest Travel's planning fee is US$250 per itinerary.

Yes. Marrakech & the Desert pairs the riads and the Atlas with a private camp in the Erg Chebbi dunes, and Imperial Cities opens Marrakech, Fez and the medinas through the artisans; your advisor weaves the two into one private route. March to May and September to November suit all three, and a private workshop with a Fez master in zellige, leather or brass fits naturally between the cities and the dunes.

The best months to go to Morocco are March to May and September to November, the two windows Forest Travel plans Morocco around. They suit the full shape of a private journey: the medinas of Marrakech and Fez on foot, the Atlas and the Essaouira coast at an unhurried pace, and a private camp in the Erg Chebbi dunes for the Sahara at dusk and camels at dawn. Your advisor sets the dates around the route.

The ones that open Morocco by name: the riad behind a door with no sign, a private camp in the Erg Chebbi dunes, a Fez master who makes a piece of zellige, leather or brass for you. Forest Travel, a Miami agency since 1986 and a Virtuoso member, arranges these through in-house advisors in English or Spanish, from around US$1,100 per person per night. The planning fee is US$250 per itinerary.

On a private journey, the stay that defines Morocco is a riad behind an unmarked door in the medina of Marrakech or Fez, a private courtyard of tile, water and silence, followed by a private camp deep in the Erg Chebbi dunes. Coast & Atlas adds Essaouira and the mountains at a slower pace. Your advisor chooses the riads and the desert nights once the route is set, from around US$1,100 per person per night.
