Morocco Honeymoon: A Private Trip for Two

A Morocco honeymoon usually combines three things: a riad in the old medina of Marrakech or Fes, a night or two at a desert camp in the Sahara, and slow days on the Atlantic coast at Essaouira. We plan it as a private trip for the two of you, with your own driver, the rooms you choose and as much free time as you want.

Seven to ten days is the most popular length. We are a local team based in Merzouga, beside the dunes, so we can arrange the details that make the desert special, such as a night at a luxury camp or a private dinner in the dunes. Every Morocco honeymoon package we plan is tailor-made and priced on request.

Planning a Honeymoon in Morocco

Most couples want some of everything: a city, the desert and the sea. The secret is not trying to fit it all in.

A riad in the medina

Start or finish with two or three nights in a boutique riad in Marrakech or Fes: a quiet courtyard house behind a plain door, with breakfast on the roof terrace. Spend a day in the souks with a licensed guide, which we can arrange, and keep the evenings to yourselves.

The Sahara

For many couples the desert is the highlight. We book a tent at a luxury camp in the Erg Chebbi dunes, with the exact tent confirmed in your quote, and on request we look into a private dinner under the stars or a camp just for the two of you. Two nights at camp, as on the luxury Sahara tour, give you a full, unhurried day in the dunes.

The coast or the mountains

End with two slow days in Essaouira, a walled port town with sea breezes and fresh fish, as on the 10-day itinerary, or with a night in the High Atlas. Chefchaouen, the blue town in the Rif, suits couples who start in the north.

When to Go on Your Honeymoon

Wedding season and the best Moroccan weather overlap nicely.

Spring and fall

April, May, September and October are warm but not hot, with comfortable nights in the desert. After a June wedding, early June still works well, with early starts on drive days.

Summer

July and August are very hot in Marrakech and the Sahara. Keep the desert to one night and spend longer in Essaouira, where the Atlantic keeps it cool.

Winter

December to February is sunny and quiet, with cold nights. Bring warm layers for the desert; a riad room with a fireplace in Fes or Marrakech is hard to beat.

Coming from Europe?

Morocco combines easily with Spain. Our 5-day tour from Tangier starts at the ferry port, and longer trips can start there too.

Honeymoon Questions

Something else on your mind? Send us your question and a real person on our team answers.

Is Morocco good for a honeymoon?

Yes. It combines romantic riads, the Sahara and the Atlantic coast in one trip, and a private driver means you never deal with transport or timetables.

How many days do you need for a Morocco honeymoon?

Seven days covers a city, the desert and one more stop. Ten days lets you add Essaouira and a few free days. With five days, choose Marrakech and the desert.

Can you arrange a private dinner in the desert?

Yes, on request. Tell us when you book and we plan it at your camp in Erg Chebbi, weather permitting.

What should couples know about local customs?

Public displays of affection are best kept discreet, and modest clothing is respectful in the medinas and villages. With a private driver, you always have someone local to ask.

How much does a Morocco honeymoon package cost?

It depends on the riads, the camp, the season and the length, so we quote each trip. Send your dates and we reply with an exact price within 24 hours.
