Morocco Tours Agency Captures Surge in American Visitors with Immersive 2025 Travel Experiences
Merzouga, Morocco, June 10, 2025 -- American travelers are once again turning their attention to one of North Africa's most enchanting destinations: Morocco. After years of postponed plans and shifting travel priorities, 2025 is shaping up to be a defining year for international tourism, and Morocco is leading the charge, with a dramatic surge in visitor numbers and a renewed focus on authentic, culturally rich adventures.
Riding this wave of momentum is Morocco Tours Agency, a boutique travel provider based in Merzouga that's quietly built a reputation as one of the most trusted and top-rated tour operators in the region. With more than 840 five-star reviews on TripAdvisor, Morocco Tours Agency is helping a new generation of U.S. travelers discover the heart of the country — from the winding alleys of Fes to the soaring dunes of the Sahara.
'Travel is personal again. Americans are looking for experiences that go deeper — that show them a country through the eyes of its people,' says Saïd Sahlaoui, the agency's founder. 'We design every itinerary with that goal in mind. Morocco isn't just a destination — it's a journey into culture, tradition, and raw natural beauty.'
Morocco's Tourism Boom: More Than Just a Trend
Morocco is one of the fastest-growing destinations for American tourists in 2025. In 2024, the country welcomed 17.4 million visitors, a 20% increase from the previous year. That momentum has only grown in 2025, fueled by improved flight access from U.S. cities, increased media spotlight (including Morocco's upcoming role as a host country for the 2030 FIFA World Cup), and a growing desire among travelers to step outside the usual European circuit.
Airlines like Delta, United, and Royal Air Maroc have expanded direct service from New York, Boston, and Washington D.C., making Morocco more accessible than ever. For travelers weary of over-touristed spots in Europe, Morocco offers an exotic, yet welcoming alternative — with the added appeal of affordability, safety, and English-speaking guides.
A Local Agency Making Global Impact
While large international companies often dominate the tourism space, Morocco Tours Agency offers something different: deep local knowledge, handcrafted tours, and real cultural immersion.
Operating since 2018, the company offers everything from short 3-day adventures to luxury private circuits, all with local guides, comfortable accommodations, and door-to-door service from cities like Marrakech, Fes, and Casablanca. Their goal? To make Morocco feel accessible and personal, no matter your travel style.
Their packages are particularly popular with American families, couples, solo travelers, and student groups, especially those looking for:
'We've hosted travelers from all over the U.S. — New York to Texas to California,' says Sahlaoui. 'Many of them say the same thing: they came for the landscapes, but fell in love with the people and the culture.'

Sahara Desert Adventure ( 3 Days – Marrakech to Merzouga )

Connecting two of Morocco's most iconic cities, this route showcases lush valleys, cedar forests, and desert landscapes. Along the way, travelers enjoy immersive stops in small villages, scenic gorges, and the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi.

Why Morocco, Why Now?

Legal cannabis blooms in Morocco but black market still beckons
Legal cannabis blooms in Morocco but black market still beckons By Ahmed Eljechtimi BAB BERRED, Morocco (Reuters) -Beneath the blazing summer sun, Abderrahman Talbi surveyed the neat rows of flourishing cannabis blooms in compact fields, reflecting on how his life has changed since he joined Morocco's burgeoning legal cannabis industry two years ago. Like many farmers in the northern Rif mountains who have long grown the crop illegally, Talbi is relieved that raids and seizures by the authorities are no longer a worry. "I can now say I am a cannabis farmer without fear," Talbi told Reuters. "Peace of mind has no price." Talbi's pivot to legal farming is an example of what Morocco, one of the world's biggest cannabis producers, hoped to achieve when it legalised cultivation for medical and industrial use, but not for recreational purposes, in 2022. Regulating cannabis farming brought with it hopes for fresh revenue and economic revitalisation in the impoverished Rif region. The step made Morocco a forerunner among major producing countries and the first in the Middle East and North Africa to join a global trend that has seen countries like Canada, Germany and Uruguay legalise production and use. It also hoped to lure farmers away from the illegal economy in the restive Rif mountains, where cannabis production has long been tolerated to facilitate social peace. Al Hoceima, a major city in Rif, saw the largest protests in Morocco in 2016-17 over economic and social conditions. BLACK MARKET'S LURE PERSISTS Legalisation efforts have gained traction, with about 5,000 farmers joining the industry this year, from just 430 in 2023, says Morocco's cannabis regulator, or ANRAC. And legal production surged to nearly 4,200 tonnes last year, a 14-fold increase over the first harvest in 2023. Still, the black market remains dominant and lucrative due to demand for recreational use from Europe and regionally in Africa, potentially undermining efforts to fully regulate the sector. Morocco has 5,800 hectares (14,300 acres) of legally planted land, according to ANRAC. That's dwarfed by illegal cultivation spanning over 27,100 hectares, Interior Ministry data shows. While many farmers still choose illicit cultivation, they face the risk of increased crackdowns by authorities, which led to the seizure of 249 tonnes of cannabis resin by September last year, up 48% from all of 2023, according to the Interior Ministry. Mohammed Azzouzi, 52, spent three years in hiding for cannabis-related charges before receiving a royal pardon along with over 4,800 others last year. Now, he is preparing for his first legal harvest and hopes to earn more than the 10,000 dirhams ($1,100) he used to make in the illegal economy each year. RED TAPE The country's prohibition on growing cannabis for leisure use, along with bureaucratic red tape, limit legal farming, with every stage of the supply chain requiring a specific license from ANRAC, discouraging many a farmer from making the switch. A grower who wants to cultivate legally needs to join a licensed cooperative, which buys the farmer's product and processes it into derivatives or sells the resin to other licensed manufacturers. Talbi's cooperative, Biocannat, near the town of Bab Berred, 300 km (186 miles) north of Rabat, bought about 200 tonnes of cannabis last year from some 200 farmers, processing it into resin, supplements, capsules, oils and powders for medical and cosmetic purposes. About 60 km east of Biocannat, in the main producing area of Issaguen, farmer Mohamed El Mourabit was initially hopeful about the legalisation plan in 2021, but is less so now. "The process is too complicated," he said. And money talks, as well, for many farmers, who are lured by the higher rewards of the black market, despite its risks. While cooperatives take months to pay farmers about 50 dirhams per kilogram for the raw plant, on the illicit market, processed cannabis resin can fetch up to 2,500 dirhams per kilogram, farmers and activists say. To close that gap, legalisation advocates say growing for recreational use should be allowed, too. But it's not clear whether that will happen soon. Mohamed Guerrouj, head of ANRAC, said legalising recreational use would only be considered within a medical framework. "The goal is to develop Morocco's pharmaceutical industry ... not coffee shops," he said. Solve the daily Crossword

Morocco to spend billions on airports ahead of World Cup
Morocco is set to invest 38 billion dirhams ($4.2 billion) over the next five years to overhaul its main airports, preparing for the World Cup it will co-host with Portugal and Spain. The Moroccan government announced on Thursday that an agreement has been signed with the national airports authority, ONDA, to facilitate this extensive project. Under the deal, 25 billion dirhams will be allocated for airport expansion, with 13 billion dirhams designated for maintenance and land acquisition. The government plans to expand its airport capacity to 80 million passengers by 2030 from 38 million currently. In May, Morocco issued two expressions of interest to identify bidders for its plan to build a new terminal that will increase capacity at its largest airport in Casablanca by 20 million passengers. British tourists are increasingly choosing north Africa as a holiday destination, with travel firms reporting a shift away from traditional European hotspots. The rise in popularity is due to the availability of high-quality hotels in countries such as Egypt, Morocco, and Tunisia, which are significantly cheaper than similar options in Spain, France, and Italy, experts say. Aviation analysts Cirium have reported a significant increase in flights from UK airports to north Africa, with 19,847 flights projected for this year. Tui has increased its flights from the UK to north Africa this summer to meet growing demand, with new routes from Stansted to Enfidha in Tunisia and from Newcastle to Agadir, Morocco. Online accommodation marketplace said it recorded a 68 per cent increase in the number of searches for summer breaks in Tunisia during the first five months of this year, compared with the same period in 2024. Egypt and Morocco saw rises of 64 per cent and 39 per cent respectively.
