Preparation
For our private trips, we have a fleet of brand new Hyundai H1 minivans at your disposal. These spacious vehicles are perfect for accommodating up to four or five adults, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable journey. However, when the group size exceeds six individuals, we opt for minibuses that can comfortably seat 12 to 17 passengers.
In addition, for destinations that are more remote or require traversing rugged terrains, we have recently acquired state-of-the-art Toyota Landcruiser 4x4s. These robust vehicles are specifically utilized for tours that venture into such areas, providing you with the necessary reliability and comfort for a seamless travel experience.
At Moroccan Expeditions Travel, our approach sets us apart from other operators in Morocco. Drawing on years of experience, we have carefully crafted a unique balance between our drivers and guides, ensuring a seamless and enriching journey. Your driver is not just a driver; they serve as your tour host and trusted companion throughout your adventure. We take pride in our exceptional drivers, who we consider to be the finest in the entire country. Many of them possess advanced English degrees, enabling them to engage with you on a deeper cultural level. Their role extends beyond ensuring your safety on the roads; they also serve as a gateway to local culture and the regions you’ll be exploring.
In areas where their expertise is most valuable, our guides are strategically located. In captivating cities like Fez and Marrakesh, you’ll have a certified city guide at your side for at least one day, unveiling the wonders of ancient Medinas. Furthermore, in other regions, you’ll have the opportunity to meet our local regional guides, whom we affectionately refer to as coordinators. These guides will lead you into their villages, open their homes to you, and offer profound insights into their specific areas of the country.
This carefully maintained balance ensures that you have access to expert guidance when necessary while still allowing ample time for independent exploration, whenever it is both feasible and rewarding. With Moroccan Expeditions Travel, you’ll have the best of both worlds—a team of knowledgeable professionals supporting your journey, combined with the freedom to discover at your own pace.
At Moroccan Expeditions Travel, we provide a wealth of resources on our website for you to explore. As you delve into our content, you’ll discover an abundance of material that will captivate your interest and keep you engaged.
In addition to the informative articles and details we offer, we have also created our very own map of Morocco.

We proudly include this illustration in our itinerary packets and display it on our website as a reference point during conversations with travelers about their upcoming trips. It provides a visual aid that enhances our discussions, allowing us to better guide you in planning your perfect Moroccan adventure.
The visa requirements for entering Morocco vary depending on your nationality. In general, if you hold an American, Canadian, Australian/New Zealand, European, Malaysian, Singaporean, or certain Hong Kong passports, you will not need a visa to visit Morocco. However, if you are a citizen of another country, there is a possibility that you may require a visa.
To obtain detailed and up-to-date information regarding visa requirements, we recommend visiting our Morocco visa resource on our website. Additionally, it is advisable to check with your local consulate or embassy for specific guidelines based on your nationality. They will provide the most accurate and current information regarding visa regulations for your country of residence.
By consulting the provided resources and contacting the appropriate authorities, you can ensure that you have the necessary documentation in place for a smooth and hassle-free entry into Morocco.
Although the Moroccan dirham is a closed currency, some individuals have discovered that it is possible to acquire dirhams outside of the country. However, it is important to note that obtaining dirhams outside of Morocco often comes at a higher cost. To ensure the most favorable exchange rates, we recommend utilizing the numerous automatic bank machines (ATMs) available throughout the country. This is considered the most convenient and reliable method of obtaining Moroccan currency.
For further information about Morocco’s currency, we have a helpful article available on our website. It offers valuable insights and additional details that will assist you in understanding the currency exchange process and managing your finances effectively during your time in Morocco.
