7 Days in Morocco Tour from Casablanca
Seven unforgettable days from Casablanca to Marrakech, combining Morocco's imperial cities, Chefchaouen, ancient Fes, the Atlas Mountains, the Sahara dunes of Merzouga and the kasbahs of southern Morocco.
A week across Morocco, from Casablanca to the Sahara
This 7 Days in Morocco Tour from Casablanca brings together several of the country's most memorable places in one private journey. Start on Morocco's Atlantic coast before travelling north to the capital, Rabat, and into the Rif Mountains for the blue streets of Chefchaouen.
From northern Morocco, the journey continues toward Fes, where centuries of history remain alive inside one of the world's great medieval medinas. Then the landscape changes completely as you cross the Middle Atlas, pass cedar forests and the Ziz Valley, and arrive at the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi.
After a Sahara sunset and desert camp experience, travel through Todra Gorge and the Dades Valley before following the kasbah route to Ait Ben Haddou. The final drive crosses the High Atlas Mountains and ends in Marrakech.
The tour is private, so stops and timing can be adjusted around your interests, travel style and arrival schedule.
