Will I have the same driver for the entire 15 days?
Yes, you will have a dedicated, English-speaking driver for the entirety of the trip. They will handle all the long-distance driving, luggage, and logistics, while specialized local guides meet you in the cities for walking tours.

What should I pack for the desert and northern cities in one trip?
Morocco has diverse climates. Pack layers: light clothing for Marrakech and the desert during the day, a warm jacket for chilly desert nights and the Atlas Mountains, and comfortable walking shoes for the medinas and Roman ruins of Volubilis.
