Discover Morocco During Holy Week

Holy Week is a wonderful time to visit Morocco. Spring brings pleasant conditions for sightseeing, cultural visits and outdoor adventures. Therefore, an Easter holiday in Morocco can combine relaxation with unforgettable experiences.

Begin your journey in Marrakech and explore its historic Medina. Afterwards, cross the High Atlas Mountains and continue toward Aït Benhaddou. From there, the road leads through southern valleys and finally to the Sahara Desert.

For travelers who have more time, the journey can continue toward Fes, Chefchaouen, Rabat or Casablanca. As a result, you can create a complete Morocco itinerary instead of visiting only one destination.

At Package Morocco, we specialize in private and flexible Morocco holidays. Your trip can be adapted to your travel dates, preferred destinations, accommodation style and travel pace.

Visit Aït Benhaddou During Holy Week

Aït Benhaddou is one of the most impressive stops on a southern Morocco itinerary. The historic settlement is known for its traditional earthen architecture and dramatic surroundings.

The location is also convenient when traveling between Marrakech and the Sahara. Therefore, it fits naturally into many desert itineraries.

During your visit, walk through the historic settlement and enjoy views of the surrounding landscape. In addition, the area offers excellent opportunities for photography.

Holy Week Morocco Tours for Families

Morocco can be an excellent destination for a family Easter holiday. Private travel gives parents greater control over the daily schedule.

For example, families can combine Marrakech, the Atlas Mountains and Aït Benhaddou. Older children may also enjoy camel trekking and a night in the Sahara.

However, a long desert journey is not necessary for every family. If you prefer a slower holiday, Marrakech and nearby destinations can provide a comfortable alternative.

Most importantly, the itinerary can be adjusted according to the children’s ages, interests and preferred travel pace.

Holy Week Tours in Morocco for Couples

Couples can enjoy a memorable Easter vacation by combining Marrakech, the Atlas Mountains and the Sahara Desert.

For instance, spend several nights in Marrakech before heading south. Along the way, stop at scenic viewpoints and historic kasbahs.

Later, enjoy a sunset camel ride in the Sahara. In the evening, relax at your desert camp and enjoy dinner under the stars.

For an even more comfortable experience, selected riads and luxury desert camps can be included in your itinerary.

7 to 10-Day Holy Week Morocco Itinerary

A longer Easter holiday gives you more time to explore Morocco. Instead of staying in one region, you can combine Marrakech, the Sahara and the historic cities of northern Morocco.

For example, a 7 to 10-day route can include the following destinations:
