Morocco Series the route, the desert, the chaos — and our completely honest review

Marrakech medinas, Atlas Mountain passes, an argan oil co-op that nearly made Nicola cry, kasbah country and a night in the Sahara under more stars than we knew existed. All of it organised through TourRadar with Morhara Morocco Tours.

This page is the quick version: our interactive route, Ali's Marrakech walking tour, practical facts and six videos. The full diary, packing advice and all 26 videos live on the dedicated review page.

The route

Follow our journey across Morocco

Eight stops from Marrakech through the High Atlas and kasbah country to the Sahara.

🗺️ Interactive route 8 stops Marrakech → Sahara

This is much better than the old route video — you can now see the actual geography of the trip. We started in Marrakech, crossed the High Atlas, travelled through kasbah country and the Draa region, and finished out in the Sahara. Click any stop to zoom in.

Our Morocco route: Marrakech → Tizi n'Tichka Pass → Aït Benhaddou → Ouarzazate → Tamegroute → Aguelmouss → Draa Valley & Desert → Sahara Desert Camp.

Before the main tour

The Marrakech walking tour with Ali

The first thing we would tell anyone to book in Marrakech.

The Marrakech walking tour with Ali

Before our main tour we did a walking tour of Marrakech with Ali from Get Marrakech — food, history, the medina, the souks and the hidden corners. It completely changed how we saw the city. We'd make it the first thing anyone does in Marrakech.

Morocco at a glance

Quick facts before you go 🇲🇦

Nothing encyclopaedic — just the things worth knowing before you book.

🏙️ Capital
Rabat — although Marrakech is one of Morocco's major tourism hubs and where our trip began.
🗣️ Language
Arabic and Amazigh are the official languages. Moroccan Arabic (Darija) is widely spoken, and you'll hear plenty of French too.
💵 Currency
Moroccan Dirham (MAD). Bring cash. Seriously. It's particularly handy in souks, smaller shops and cafés.
🕐 Time
Morocco is usually close to Irish/UK time, but its clocks can change around Ramadan — check before you fly.
🔌 Plugs
European-style two-pin plugs are commonly used, so coming from Ireland you'll want an adaptor.
🌡️ When to go
Spring and autumn are good choices if you'd rather avoid the most intense summer heat.

For the things we actually wish we'd known before travelling — money, packing, the desert, food and what the tour was really like — they're all in our full review.
