Impression
Inspiration Trip: Morocco in Style
Luxury Self-Drive | 6 days
A royal city, a silent desert, and accommodation along the fresh Atlantic coast. You travel by private transportation across three completely different faces of Morocco, each with stays at the very highest level.
Travel documents / Visa
- A valid passport is required, with at least six months validity remaining upon entry.
- No visa is required for stays up to 90 days for holders of a Dutch or Belgian passport.
Climate & Best Time to Travel
Morocco has a diverse climate that varies greatly by region. Along the coast, there is a pleasant Mediterranean climate, while the interior and desert areas experience a continental climate with significant temperature differences between day and night. In the Atlas Mountains, it can get quite cold in the winter months, with snow on the higher peaks.
The best time to travel is during the spring and fall, from March to May and from September to November. During these periods, temperatures are comfortable — averaging between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius — and the landscape is at its most beautiful. The summer months can become very hot in Marrakech and the desert areas, with temperatures exceeding 40°C. Coastal towns offer a pleasant alternative during this time.
Vaccinations & health
There are no mandatory vaccinations for a visit to Morocco. Hepatitis A and DTP are recommended. Protect yourself well against the sun, drink plenty of water, and preferably use bottled water.
Time difference
During Dutch and Belgian daylight saving time, it is one hour earlier in Morocco. During the winter time, there is no time difference.
Money & Currency
The local currency is the Moroccan dirham (MAD). Euros can be exchanged at many locations. Credit cards are accepted in most hotels and larger restaurants. In the souks and at local markets, cash payments are common.

VIP Hot Air Balloon Ride Over Marrakech
Before the sun rises, a 4x4 or minibus will pick you up from your accommodation to take you to the gates of Marrakech, where the city gives way to the tranquility of the Douars.

HAMMAN & SPA IN THE RIAD HEART OF MARRAKECH
In an atmospheric Moorish setting, hidden behind the thick walls of La Maison Arabe, one of Morocco's oldest beauty rituals awaits you.
