Easter 2027 · 2028
Easter falls on 28 March 2027 and, the year after, on 16 April 2028: the ideal moment for Morocco, with warm days, the Atlas in bloom and mild nights in the desert. Private tours of 3 to 8 days to make the most of the break.

Spring is the season when Morocco is at its best, and the Easter break is the perfect chance to visit it.
The days are long and warm, the Atlas valleys are green and in blossom and in the desert you sleep without the cold of the winter nights.
With a flight of less than three hours from Italy, even 4 or 5 days are enough to see the dunes of the Sahara.
The 3-day tour from Marrakech to Merzouga crosses the High Atlas, Aït Ben Haddou and the Dades Valley and takes you to sleep in a camp among the dunes. If you land in Marrakech and fly home from Fes, the 4-day tour from Marrakech to Fes takes you across the whole south without doubling back; in the opposite direction there is the 3-day tour from Fes to Marrakech.
If you prefer history and architecture, you can choose the 5-day tour from Tangier with Chefchaouen, Fes and Rabat, or the 8-day imperial cities tour from Casablanca, ideal if you have a few more days off.
At Easter in Marrakech and Fes you are comfortable in short sleeves during the day, while in the evening you need a sweatshirt. In the Atlas there may still be snow on the peaks and in the desert the nights are cool.
You will find more advice in our guides to Morocco in March and Morocco in April, and in the article on the Easter holidays in Morocco.
Easter is among the busiest periods of the year: it is best to fix flights and tour a few months ahead.
Besides the group departures, all our itineraries are available as private tours, which start on the day you arrive and are booked with a deposit, with the balance paid on arrival. If the dates of your break do not match a ready-made itinerary, we adapt it by adding or removing a night.

In 2027 Easter Sunday is 28 March 2027 and Easter Monday 29 March 2027; in 2028 Easter falls on 16 April 2028 and Easter Monday on 17 April 2028. With one day off before or after you get a 4–5 day break, enough for a tour in the desert.
In Marrakech and Fes the days are mild, generally between 20 and 28 °C. In the desert it is hot during the day, but not too hot, and in the evening the temperature drops: a sweatshirt or a light jacket is enough.
From Marrakech the 3-day tour to Merzouga leaves a free day for the city; with 4 days you can go as far as Fes, crossing the desert. If you prefer cities, northern Morocco from Tangier is well worth 5 days.
It is one of the most sought-after periods for European travellers, so flights and accommodation should be booked in advance. In the desert and in the Atlas villages the atmosphere stays quiet all the same.
Yes: after the tour we can arrange a transfer to Essaouira or another spot on the Atlantic coast for a few days of relaxing.
