We recently just came back after 11 days tour in Morocco with Traverse Morocco, and it was fantastic. Mohammed, the managing service was very quick and happy to answer all my questions, and made our vacation hassle-free. We put our concerns to him. All the accommodations were luxurious and authentic, and our driver took the rest of the trip, which was fabulous. He picked us up from the port in Tangier and made sure everything was smooth; for sure, we felt safe with him. Thanks to the Traverse Morocco team, and I can’t wait to come back in the future. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU TO ALL MY FRIENDS…
My trip to Morocco with Traverse Morocco was amazing. The hotels, camp in the desert, guides, and the track were all nice. Our guide Mohammed, was friendly, knowledgeable, and never got tired of answering my tons of questions. My kids did enjoy their time with him and loved his sense of humor. Thanks to Mohammed and Traverse for this unforgettable journey.
Yes, Morocco is generally safe for tourists, but like any destination, it’s essential to exercise caution and be aware of your surroundings.
The best time to visit the Sahara Desert is during the cooler months, from October to April, when temperatures are milder and more comfortable for exploring.
Visitors from many countries can enter Morocco visa-free for stays of up to 90 days. However, it’s essential to check visa requirements based on your nationality before traveling.
Moroccan cuisine is diverse and flavorful, known for dishes such as tagine (slow-cooked stews), couscous, and pastilla (a savory pastry). It often features a blend of spices like cumin, saffron, and cinnamon.
Tipping is appreciated for good service in Morocco, especially in restaurants, hotels, and for tour guides. Around 10% of the bill is usually considered appropriate.
Do not hesitage to give us a call. We are an expert team and we are happy to talk to you.
