Morocco Tours for Seniors: Pace, Comfort and Access

The short answer: Morocco is an excellent destination for seniors when the trip is planned at a gentle pace: no more than four to five hours of driving per day, two nights in each main city, comfortable hotels with lifts or ground-floor rooms, and a local guide in the medinas who knows the easiest routes.

Choose the right pace

Walking in the medinas

Medinas have uneven paving, slopes and steps, especially in Fes and Chefchaouen. A guide can choose flatter routes, arrange taxis to the nearest gate and plan rest stops in cafés. Marrakech, Essaouira and Rabat are flatter and easier.

Hotels and riads

Traditional riads are beautiful but often have steep stairs and no lift. Ask for ground-floor rooms or choose hotels with lifts. We always tell you in advance.

The desert

The camel ride to the camp is optional: you can reach many camps by 4x4. Choose a comfort or luxury camp with a real bed and private bathroom. Read our camel ride guide and what to expect in a desert camp.

Health and comfort

• Travel in spring or autumn to avoid summer heat.
• Carry your medicines in hand luggage with prescriptions.
• Drink bottled water and take rest days.
• Check travel insurance covers your age and activities.
