About This Trip
Morocco suits a honeymoon because it changes every two days: a coastal start in Casablanca, the medieval lanes of Fez, a night in the Sahara, then Marrakech and the sea at Essaouira. This 14-day private trip links them with a private driver and leaves a few slow days between the long drives.
You eat your way through Casablanca’s old market, ride camels into the dunes for sunset, walk through Aït Ben Haddou and finish with a rooftop dinner in Marrakech. It is tailor-made and suits couples who want atmosphere and variety and are happy with several early starts.
