What people love about Christmas & New Year Tours in Morocco
- New Year’s Eve 2024/25 In Moroccan Desert
Overall It was good. The guide/driver Tahal did everything to his power to make our trip satisfactory. I would recomend him to others. You could do an upgrade in the hotels, specially in Marrakech, Yaad. People not nice at all. The tent in Merzouga was great. Nice trip
- Christmas in Morocco - 8 days
Just got back on Tuesday from a really good " Xmas in morocco tour". My family loved it, especially our guide Hicham Tora- he was well informed, punctual, considerate and extremely patient, very caring and friendly . Our driver Imad was also very professional.
- Highlights of Morocco
Enjoyable trip but I would suggest that the travellers are given more opportunity to explore on their own and eat out in normal Moroccan places, not just places for tourists.

The Sahara Desert serves as a natural backdrop for end-of-year festivities where visitors can stay in upscale desert camps like Aiour Luxury Camp in Merzouga. The celebrations include traditional Berber music fireworks over sand dunes and festive dinners under open skies. Urban centers such as Marrakech and Casablanca add their own flair with properties like Riad El Walaa and Hotel Odyssee Center creating programs that mix local Moroccan customs with Western holiday traditions. As one TourRadar traveler notes: "The night in the Sahara desert was magical with traditional dinner luxurious tents and live music under the stars."
What are the weather conditions like in Morocco during Christmas & New Year?
Winter brings mild pleasant conditions to Morocco though temperatures vary significantly by region. Marrakech sees daily highs of 18-20°C (65-68°F) with nighttime temperatures around 8°C (46°F). The Atlas Mountains experience winter's full force with temperatures often dropping below freezing while the Sahara Desert presents striking contrasts: warm 20-25°C (68-77°F) days followed by cold nights at 0-5°C (32-41°F).

Securing holiday season tours in Morocco requires planning 6-8 months ahead. TourRadar data shows most bookings happen around 600 days in advance though holiday periods need even earlier commitment. Notable properties like Riad El Walaa in Marrakech and desert camps in Merzouga reach capacity months before the season begins. Regular feedback from travelers emphasizes that prime accommodations particularly riads and desert camps book completely during the holiday period.

Premium camps like Aiour Luxury Camp create distinctive holiday programs featuring Berber musical performances desert feasts and midnight celebrations. The experience continues with sunrise camel rides on New Year's Day. As one TourRadar traveler describes: "Watching the sunset over the dunes enjoying traditional music around the campfire and sleeping under the stars made it truly magical."
What's the best way to experience both Christmas and New Year in Morocco?
A well-planned Morocco holiday combines urban Christmas celebrations with desert New Year festivities. Begin in cities like Marrakech or Fes staying in traditional riads before transitioning to the Sahara Desert for New Year's Eve. Most comprehensive 9-day itineraries cover key locations including Casablanca Chefchaouen Fes and the Sahara. A TourRadar traveler recommends: "The diversity of experiencing both city and desert celebrations made our holiday trip unforgettable."
