good to Know Before You Go​

  • Packing Your Bags
    When preparing for your 5 days Morocco student trip, the best rule is to pack light. For the night in the Sahara dunes, we recommend bringing a small, soft backpack with just your overnight essentials. Large suitcases stay securely in the vehicle, so having a smaller bag makes moving to your desert camp much easier.
  • What to Wear
    To stay comfortable during your student travel in Morocco, choose light fabrics like cotton for the daytime heat. However, remember that the desert gets cold after sunset! Always pack a warm hoodie or light jacket for the evenings. For walking and exploring ancient sites, comfortable, closed-toe shoes are a must.
  • Sun and Water
    The Sahara sun is very strong, even on breezy days. To keep your student Morocco tour fun, always wear sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses. Staying hydrated is very important, so keep a water bottle with you at all times. A traditional Berber scarf is also great for protecting your face from the wind and sun.
  • Cash and Payments
    While your main tour costs are covered, it is a good idea to have some local Moroccan Dirhams (MAD) with you. Small shops and cafes in the mountains often do not accept credit cards. Having cash ready for snacks, souvenirs, or small tips will make your student trips to Morocco much easier as you travel.
  • Phones and Charging
    To capture every moment of your 5 days Morocco student trip, bring a power bank to keep your phone and camera charged. While our desert camps have charging areas, having your own power source is very helpful. Also, remember that some remote areas have limited signal, which is a great chance to unplug and enjoy the view.
  • Local Customs
    Morocco is famous for being friendly. To show respect during your Morocco student trip, we suggest dressing modestly, covering your shoulders and knees when visiting small villages or historic sites. It is also polite to ask for permission before taking photos of local people. These small steps make your trip more authentic and welcoming.
  • Looking for something shorter? If the 5 days Morocco student trip isn’t a perfect fit, check out our amazing 4 days Morocco student trip! You will still experience all the best highlights, like the High Atlas Mountains and the Sahara dunes- just in a shorter time.

Our 5 Day Morocco Student Highlight

Traveling with To Marrakech Desert Tours on this 5 days Morocco student trip from the USA was honestly the best decision. From the moment we arrived in Marrakech, our group loved exploring those vibrant, incredible streets together. Everything felt so authentic, especially the magic of the desert night and our sunset camel ride through the dunes. Our guide and driver were so good to us throughout the entire journey; they were always happy to stop whenever we wanted for photos or just to take a quick break. We truly enjoyed this trip with such a professional team and would recommend them to any other students planning their Morocco adventure.

From Marrakech Streets to Sahara Sands

Our 5 day trip with To Marrakech Desert Tours was honestly the best decision our group made! We went from the crazy, fun vibes of Marrakech to the quiet, beautiful Dades Valley. Sleeping under the stars in the Sahara was something else definitely a highlight. Our guides were super professional and took care of everything so we could just focus on having an amazing time. It was the perfect, authentic way to see Morocco as a student.

A Seamless Journey with a Professional Team

I’m usually the one who plans everything for my friends, but this time I was happy to let someone else take the lead. The entire trip was super well-organized. We didn’t have to worry about transport or where to stay, which meant we could actually just enjoy the sites. It felt like a really authentic way to see the country without all the touristy stress. The absolute highlight was the desert experience with To Marrakech Desert Tours riding camels into the dunes at sunset, sleeping under a million stars, and tearing up the sand on quad bikes the next morning was insane. The team made everything so easy, and it’s easily the most authentic, fun adventure we’ve had in Morocco.
