Overview
A private 6-day journey through Morocco's most striking landscapes. Hand-built by native Moroccan guides who know every corner of the route, with comfortable accommodation, real local meals, and time to slow down at the moments that matter most.
Trip Plan Morocco is a small collective of native Moroccan guides — twenty-two of us, based in Marrakech, Fes, and Merzouga. Licensed since 2008 (Moroccan tour operator license ATM-MA-2008). What makes us different from the big agencies: no commission stops at carpet shops or argan cooperatives (our guides earn full salaries instead), every itinerary is private by default (the price you see is the price for your group), and no deposit is required until you approve the itinerary in writing. We reply to every enquiry within 24 hours, with a draft itinerary and clear pricing — no obligation.

"Genuinely the trip of a lifetime. Our driver-guide Ahmed met us at our riad in Marrakech at 8am sharp and made the next three days unforgettable. The Atlas crossing, Aït Ben Haddou, the camel ride at sunset, the desert camp with the Milky Way overhead — every single part lived up to what they promised on the website. Already recommending Trip Plan Morocco to everyone."
"We compared four operators before booking. The Trip Plan Morocco team replied within an hour with a custom itinerary and a clear price for the whole group, not a fake per-person rate that grows. No deposit was asked until we confirmed in writing. On the trip itself: comfortable Land Cruiser, knowledgeable guide, the luxury camp at Erg Chebbi had real hot showers. Worth every euro."
"Travelled as a family of five including two kids under ten. The team adapted the schedule for the children — shorter driving days, a pool stop in Ouarzazate, a 4x4 transfer to the camp instead of the camel ride for our youngest. Our guide was patient and warm. The kids still talk about the sunrise on the dunes six months later."

Can vegetarians or special diets be accommodated?
Yes — every meal can be adjusted. Tell us at booking if you're vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal-only, kosher, or have any allergies. Moroccan cuisine is naturally rich in vegetables and grains, so substitutions are easy.
