Stories & Insights From Our Team
The honest Morocco travel guides we write for our own guests — where to go the first time, how to plan the days, where to sleep, and what no one tells you before you fly.
The Short Answer
This is our collection of first-hand Morocco travel guides — the advice we give our own guests before they travel. We don't currently publish an audio podcast, so rather than point you to a feed that doesn't exist, we've gathered our most useful written guides here: where to go the first time, how to plan 7, 10 or 14 days, where to stay, what to eat, and what to wear.

What Makes These Different
The web is full of recycled Morocco advice. Ours comes from running private trips here — the routes we drive, the riads we walk through, and the briefings we give travellers who have never been.
First-Hand, Not Aggregated
These guides are written by the same team that plans our guests’ trips — drawn from routes we drive, riads we visit, and the questions travellers actually ask us, not rewritten from other websites.
Honest Trade-Offs
We name the downsides as well as the highlights: long transfer days, seasons to avoid, and where the popular choice is not the right one. Planning a trip well means knowing what to skip.
Built to Plan From
Every guide is structured around real decisions — how many days, which regions, where to sleep, what to pack — so you can move from reading to a concrete plan in one sitting.

Stories & Insights FAQ
Does Serenity Morocco Tours have a podcast?
+
Not at this time. We previously planned an audio show but have not published any episodes, so we do not list one rather than point you to a feed that does not exist. Instead we publish written, first-hand travel guides — the same advice we give our own guests — which you can read on this page and across our blog.
Who writes these Morocco guides?
+
They are written by the Serenity Morocco Tours team — the travel designers and local specialists who plan our private trips. The content is drawn from routes we actually drive, properties we visit, and the questions travellers ask us most, rather than aggregated from other sources.
Where should a first-time visitor to Morocco start?
+
Start with our first-timer destination guide and the sample itinerary guide. Together they answer the two questions that shape every trip: which places are worth your limited days, and how to string them together for 7, 10 or 14 days without spending the whole holiday in a car.
Can you plan a trip around the places these guides cover?
+
Yes. Everything in these guides feeds into a private, tailor-made trip. Tell us your dates, group, pace and interests, and we send a written quote — usually within hours — built around the destinations, riads and experiences you have been reading about.
Turn the Reading Into a Real Trip
When the guides have you dreaming, we handle the rest — a private, tailor-made Morocco itinerary built around the places and experiences you have been reading about. Tell us your dates and we reply, usually within hours.
