Travel and holidays in Morocco
Between enchanting medinas, golden dunes and Atlantic shores
Feel like discovering Morocco, a crossroads between Europe and Africa, famous for its millennia-old medinas, its rammed-earth kasbahs, its golden sand dunes and its legendary hospitality?
A one-of-a-kind destination, Morocco fascinates with its striking contrasts: from the ochre ramparts of Marrakech to the blue alleyways of Chefchaouen, from the Dadès Gorges to the endless dunes of Erg Chebbi, from the Atlantic beaches of Essaouira to the snows of the High Atlas.
Accessible year-round from Luxembourg, Morocco lends itself equally well to cultural city trips in the imperial cities as to discovery tours or seaside stays on the Atlantic coast.
Voyages Flammang helps you organize a tailor-made trip to Morocco: stays in Marrakech, tours through the imperial cities, excursions into the Sahara Desert, trekking in the Atlas or a seaside extension in Agadir.
Why go to Morocco?
Imperial cities, the Sahara Desert, the High Atlas, the Atlantic coast and delicious cuisine: Morocco is one of the richest and most accessible destinations from Luxembourg. In a 3-hour flight, a complete change of scenery and a culture of rare depth await you.

When to go to Morocco?
Morocco can be visited all year round, but the best time depends on your destination and the type of trip you want: city break, mountain trekking, or a beach holiday.
Spring and autumn – The ideal season (March–May and Sept–Nov)
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) offer the best conditions for visiting the imperial cities and hiking in the High Atlas. Temperatures are pleasant, landscapes are lush, and crowds are smaller than in peak season.
Summer – Depends on the region (June to August)
Summer can be very hot in inland cities (Marrakech, Fes reach 37–40°C), but remains pleasant on the Atlantic coast (Agadir, Essaouira). It’s also the ideal time for beach stays and nights in a desert bivouac in the Sahara.
Winter – Mild weather and authenticity (December to February)
Winter in Morocco is mild on the coast (Agadir, Marrakech) and cool in the mountains. It’s an excellent time for city breaks in Marrakech and cultural tours, with fewer tourists and more attractive prices. Snow on the Atlas is also a lovely surprise.

Practical tips for your trip to Morocco
Marrakech’s Djemaa el-Fna square is listed by UNESCO not for its buildings, but as a “Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity” — a distinction unique in the world. Every evening, storytellers, fire-eaters, Gnawa musicians and jugglers put on the biggest free live show on the planet.
The currency is the Moroccan dirham (MAD). Bank cards are accepted in major hotels and restaurants, but cash remains essential in the souks, for taxis and small shops. ATMs are widely available in all cities.
The official languages are Arabic and Amazigh (Berber). French is very widely spoken in administration, tourism and commerce. French-speaking travellers will have no difficulty making themselves understood in cities, hotels, restaurants and travel agencies.
Morocco uses type C and E plugs — the same as in France, Belgium and Luxembourg. No adapter is needed for European travellers. The voltage is 220V, identical to that used in Europe.
Morocco is an overall safe destination and very well accustomed to international tourism. Usual precautions apply: stay vigilant in very crowded medinas, don’t leave valuables on display, and check the latest recommendations from the embassy before departure. Tourist areas are well secured.
Morocco is very well served from Luxembourg:
- Direct flights Luxembourg–Marrakech available depending on the season
- Fast connections via Paris (Air France), Brussels (Brussels Airlines) or Amsterdam (KLM)
- Total travel time: 3 to 5 hours depending on the route and destination (Marrakech, Fès, Casablanca, Agadir)
Travel is mainly by taxi (small taxis within cities, shared grand taxis between cities) and by train (ONCF) between the major cities (Casablanca, Rabat, Fès, Marrakech). For tours in the South and the desert, a 4×4 vehicle with a driver-guide is recommended. Car rental is also very convenient.
No visa is required for Luxembourg nationals (and Europeans in general) — a stay of up to 90 days is possible with a valid ID card or passport. Vaccinations are not mandatory but recommended:
- Hepatitis A and keeping basic vaccinations up to date
- Hygiene precautions: bottled water, beware of raw vegetables in small restaurants

FAQ: the most useful questions for planning your trip to Morocco
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the best times to visit Morocco. Temperatures are pleasant in the imperial cities, the landscapes are green, and crowds are moderate. Summer is ideal for the Atlantic coast but very hot inland (Marrakech, Fez, 37–40°C).
The recommended length depending on your itinerary:
- 4 to 5 days: city break in Marrakech or Fez, the essentials of one city
- 7 to 8 days: imperial cities tour (Marrakech, Fez, Chefchaouen)
- 10 to 14 days: complete tour including the Sahara Desert and the Atlantic coast
No, Luxembourg nationals do not need a visa for Morocco for stays of up to 90 days. All you need is a valid passport or identity card. This easy access makes Morocco one of the simplest destinations to plan from Luxembourg.
The four imperial cities are unmissable: Marrakech for its unique atmosphere, Fez for its UNESCO-listed medieval medina, Meknes for its ramparts and proximity to Volubilis, Rabat for its blend of modernity and heritage. Chefchaouen and Essaouira are ideal additions to a Moroccan itinerary.
The main gateway to the desert is Merzouga and the dunes of Erg Chebbi. It can be reached from Fez (6 hours) or Marrakech (8 hours) by car or 4×4. It is recommended to spend at least one night camping in the dunes. Most tour operators offer tours combining imperial cities + desert in 7 to 10 days.
Morocco is an affordable destination with great value for money:
- flight from Luxembourg: €100 to €400 depending on the season and airport
- charming riad: €80 to €200 per night for a double room
- quality restaurant: €15 to €40 per person
- 7-day all-inclusive organized tour: from €700/person
The rail network (ONCF) is excellent between the major cities (Casablanca, Rabat, Fez, Marrakech). For tours in the South and desert excursions, a 4×4 vehicle with a driver-guide is optimal. Taxis (small taxis in cities, shared grand taxis between cities) are affordable. Car rental works well for independent travelers.
Yes, Morocco is an excellent family destination. Children are very warmly welcomed in a country where hospitality is a strong cultural value. Beach resorts in Agadir, camel rides in the Sahara, riads with pools in Marrakech, and exploring the souks are experiences that leave a lasting impression on children.
Moroccan cuisine is one of the most refined in the world. Must-tries: lamb tagine with prunes or preserved lemon, seven-vegetable couscous, pastilla (a sweet-and-savoury pastry), harira (spiced soup), mechoui (roast lamb), and honey pastries. Best enjoyed with a sweet mint tea.
Yes, a Marrakech–Fez–Chefchaouen itinerary in 7 days is absolutely doable and very popular. The ideal pace: 2 nights in Marrakech, 2 nights in Fez, 1 night in Chefchaouen, then back. You can also add Meknes and Volubilis as day trips from Fez. For a complete tour including the desert, allow 10 to 12 days.
Morocco is a moderate Muslim country and welcoming to tourists. A few tips: cover shoulders and knees when visiting mosques and religious sites, opt for more covered clothing in traditional medinas and rural areas. Beach resorts (Agadir, Essaouira) are more relaxed, and swimwear is perfectly acceptable there.
