Understand the Trip You Want
The first conversation is mostly us asking questions: what you want to see, and how fast you like to move. Everything after that follows from the answers.
About Us
Moroccan Travel Experts
We're a licensed, Morocco-based travel agency specializing in private journeys. Founded in Marrakech, we plan for depth over breadth: longer stays in fewer places, and room in the day for the things you did not schedule.
Our Philosophy
The name "The Morocco Detour" is the whole idea: step off the standard circuit, then stay long enough in the places you do reach that you stop being a visitor in a hurry.
Read the story behind The Morocco Detour for the longer version, and for why private travel is the only kind we arrange.
How We Work
Craft Your Itinerary
Each itinerary starts from an empty page and fills up with your answers. We edit it until the days look right to you. Then we book.
Select Your Accommodations
Our hand-selected accommodations are mostly traditional riads and small boutique properties, picked for where they sit and how they treat guests once the door closes.
Support Throughout
From booking to your last morning, someone here is reachable on a Moroccan number. Most calls turn out to be about a restaurant table or a change of plan.
Why Travelers Choose Us
Local Expertise
Based in Morocco, with the relationships that come from years of working here. We know which guide in Fes can explain a madrasa without turning it into a lecture, and which driver to put on a long Atlas day.
Personalized Service
You correspond with the people writing your itinerary. Nobody hands you to an account manager halfway through.
First-Hand Recommendations
Every recommendation on your itinerary is a place we have been ourselves. Where we have not, we say so.
Private Journeys
A guide and a vehicle that are yours alone. The itinerary can still change on day four.
Start With Your Dates
Send your dates and a rough idea of what you want to see. We will tell you whether it fits in the time you have.
