Morocco Christmas Tours
Warm Days, the Sahara & a Different Kind of Festive Season
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.

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
Does Morocco celebrate Christmas?
Morocco is a Muslim country, so Christmas isn't a widespread local tradition. In the main tourist areas, though, riads and hotels are used to hosting international guests over the holidays.
Can you arrange a Christmas dinner during the tour?
In many cases, yes, whether at a riad or a desert camp. Let us know your dates when you enquire and we'll confirm exactly what can be arranged before you book.
Is the desert cold at Christmas?
Desert nights do turn cold in December, even though the days are warm. Our camps are equipped with heating and warm bedding for anyone travelling over the festive season.
Is Morocco a good New Year's Eve destination?
Yes, Marrakech in particular has a lively atmosphere around Jemaa el-Fna at New Year, and a private tour can be timed to include the countdown there.
How far in advance should we book a Christmas tour?
As early as possible. Christmas and New Year are peak dates in Morocco, and riads, camps and flights book up well ahead of the holidays.
