Tips for couples

In public, couples usually keep displays of affection low-key; we cover this in customs and etiquette. Let us know it's your honeymoon: we tell the places you're staying and, when they can, they arrange a small surprise. For dates, read the best time to visit or, if the wedding is in winter, travelling in winter. Then write to us through the contact page.

Frequently asked questions: Honeymoon

How many days do you recommend for a honeymoon in Morocco?

We recommend 7 to 10 days to combine Marrakech, the desert and a northern city or the coast without exhausting days. In 5 days you can do Marrakech and the desert, although the pace is more intense.

Is it a problem if we are a couple and don't bring our marriage certificate?

For foreign couples there is not usually a problem in tourist hotels and riads. Some rules may apply to couples where one partner is a Moroccan national. If that is your case, ask us and we will check with the places you are staying.

Can you arrange a private dinner in the desert?

Yes, many luxury camps in Merzouga and in the Agafay desert can organise a private dinner. Tell us your preferences when you book so we can confirm it in advance.

Can't find the right trip?

Tell us your dates, how many people are travelling and what you'd like to see. Within 24 hours we'll send you a route and a price.
