Special Holidays Morocco

When a cruise ship docks at a Moroccan port, passengers have a few hours on shore. Special Holidays Morocco says it has a network of shore excursions at the main ports where cruise ships call. That is one of three strands of this Agadir agency, along with golf trips and private tours.

Shore excursions

The company says it offers tours at the best price and has tour specialists and travel agents ready to answer questions about Morocco. It does not name the ports on its home page, so ask which ones are covered.

Golf

The agency promotes seven regions for golf: imperial Marrakech, the Agadir resort area, royal Rabat, the Casablanca coast, the historic heartland, the Tangier peninsula and the Mediterranean coast. It points to low green fees and caddie fees. It also notes that Morocco is less than three hours by air from major European capitals, and that air links between the main tourist cities are good.

Private tours

The core service is a trip planned with a local private guide. The company says it adapts each program to the guests and avoids tourist routes. Cities in the menu include Marrakech, Fez, Agadir, Casablanca, Rabat, Tangier, Essaouira, Merzouga, Chefchaouen and Ouarzazate.

Reviews on the site come from guests on 12 and 14 day trips. They describe drivers and guides by name, hotel mixes of riads, all inclusive hotels and air conditioned desert tents, and a 14 day route that the agency changed to suit the group.
