A Different Kind of Festive Season

Why Spend Christmas in Morocco

Morocco is an easy, short-haul flight for most international travellers, and December here is noticeably milder than in northern climates, which makes it a popular escape for families who would rather trade cold, dark winter days for the souks of Marrakech or a night under Sahara stars. It is a way to spend Christmas somewhere completely different, without a long-haul flight to get there.

Morocco is a Muslim country, so Christmas is not a local tradition the way it is elsewhere. What we can do is build the festive touches you would like into a private tour, from a Christmas Eve dinner at your riad to a desert camp for Christmas Day itself, and talk through exactly what is realistic before you book.

As a registered tour operator founded by Nourddine, a Moroccan native, we plan every trip around your dates, whether that is Christmas week, New Year, or the full school holiday, and handle the details so your family can simply enjoy the break.

Excellent We had an amazing experience with our trip organizer! He was incredibly friendly, professional, and made everyone feel welcome from the very beginning. Throughout the trip, he always prioritized our safety and ensured that everything ran smoothly. What made the experience even more special was the historical information he shared at each location. His knowledge and storytelling brought the places to life and helped us appreciate the culture and history much more. He was always happy to answer questions, offered great recommendations, and made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a well-organized, informative, and enjoyable tour. Thank you for making our trip so memorable!

Novas experiências a explorar Eu e minha esposa tivemos uma experiência única e enriquecedora no tour de 1 semana em Marrocos, acompanhado ao detalhe pela simpatia, conhecimento e profissionalismo do Nourddine. O Nourddine acompanha com atenção e carinho os seus turistas. Marraquexe e as suas belezas, incluindo o souk, Merzouga, Zagora, Ouarzazate e visita aos estúdios onde se filmaram por exemplo o Ben-Hur, Cleopatra, Guerra dos Tronos, Gladiador e muitos outros. Comer a pizza do deserto numa casa de uma família berbere, assistir à preparação e beber o chá de menta numa famíia berbere, visitar uma manufatura de tapetes, uma manufatura de produtos de rosa damascena e outra de produtos medicinais. Importantes para conhecer a cultura e o povo marroquino e os seus costumes. Jantar e assistir ao espetáculo no Chez Ali, andar de camelo no deserto do Sahara. E muitas outras experiências que ficaram por fazer. Para uma próxima ou próximas vezes. Esta foi a segunda vez em tour com o Nourddine. Obrigado Nourddine e até breve.

New Year's Chill Solo Trip I waited a little over a month to write this review for a reason. This personal trip was about regrouping and thinking for what's ahead for 2025. I chose The Edgewater because I took my kids and grandkid there the weekend prior to Christmas for festivities in Seattle, and I saw an awesome TikTok about the hotel. That marketing strategy definitely reeled me into the property. In that first stay, we had the opportunity to be in a water suite on one day and city suite the second day, which wasn't originally planned but was an amazing opportunity for my family and me. On this second trip, it was all about me. I scheduled a nice hotel room with city views, which did not disappoint. The room was elegant and the bathroom was beautiful with it's mountainous stone decor. The shower gave the right pressure of hot water, which is a plus if you want to relax in a steam like environment. The part of this review takes a negative into a positive turn. After placing my bags into my room, I headed to the bar for a drink. Sat at the bar and asked the young bartender for a chocolate martini, something different on the last day of the year. He just arrived on shift, and said he would be happy to oblige. However, someone above him came to him to say that the bar was closed and they were closed until the New Year's gathering in the bar / restaurant. There was no sign that the bar was closed due to patrons sitting in the lounge area of the bar and restaurant. When the person who stopped the bartender at the beginnings of making the drink decided to not accommadate, I went to the front desk to state to maybe it would be best to add signage for all guests to know that the bar was closed and to ensure that front staff and all staff were aware prior to shift of the bar being closed for guests staying at the hotel. After that time, I never returned to the bar for the duration of my stay, and ordered room service the entirety of that time. I went there for alone time, I got it. I explained all of this to say, business is business but in customer service and hospitality, all guests should be accommodated on simple requests, such as making a drink on the last day of the year. The highs were the rest of the staff that made my stay very welcoming - LaRelle, Jesse, Lydia, Dave, Thomas, Selena, and Gabe. Those that work in wait staff, valet, and the resturant staff that brought my food order to my room both New Year's night and New Year's morning; both were wonderful people and very friendly. The Edgewater is a beautiful, serene, and elegant property located perfectly on the Elliott Bay. The views are gorgeous, and my favorite views are on the water. I gave a five star for both visits within one week of each other. Would I come back again? I would because staff can either make or break a trip, and the staff there (outside of the one) made the trip for me.

Morocco Christmas Tours: Warm Days for the Festive Season

Morocco has become a popular Christmas and New Year escape for travellers looking for something different, warm, sunny and only a few hours away for most departure points. From the souks of Marrakech to a night under Sahara stars, it is a way to spend the festive season somewhere new. As a registered tour operator founded by a Moroccan native, Trek Morocco Desert plans private, tailor-made Christmas tours built entirely around your dates.

Sunshine When You Need It Most

December days in Morocco stay noticeably warm and sunny, which makes it an appealing choice for anyone looking to trade a cold, dark winter for blue skies. Desert nights do turn cold, so our camps are equipped with proper heating and warm bedding for anyone travelling over Christmas or New Year.

Festive Touches, Moroccan Style

Morocco is a Muslim country, so Christmas is not a local tradition the way it is elsewhere. What we can do is arrange festive touches where they are genuinely possible, such as a Christmas Eve dinner at your riad or desert camp, and we will always be upfront about what is realistic before you book.

Family-Friendly, Private & Flexible

Every tour is 100% private, paced for the school holidays rather than a fixed group schedule, and built around the exact dates you are travelling. A registered operator founded by Nourddine handles every detail, so your family can simply enjoy the break together.

Good to Know

Morocco Christmas Tours — Your Questions
