10 Days Morocco Tour From Casablanca
A complete ten-day private Morocco journey from Casablanca — Marrakech the Red City, the kasbahs of the south, the Sahara at Merzouga, imperial Fes, the northern port of Tangier, and the blue alleys of Chefchaouen before returning to Casablanca.
Ten Days Across All of Morocco
This ten-day private Morocco tour from Casablanca is a complete loop that covers the country's most iconic places — from the Red City of Marrakech to the orange dunes of the Sahara, from the medieval medina of Fes to the cosmopolitan port of Tangier, and the famous blue alleys of Chefchaouen in the Rif Mountains. A natural circuit designed for travelers who want to see Morocco in depth without the constraints of a longer 14-day journey.
The first half of the tour heads south from Casablanca: Marrakech, Aït Ben Haddou, Ouarzazate, the Dades Valley, and the Sahara dunes at Merzouga — culminating in a sunset camel ride and a night in a comfortable desert camp under the stars. From the Sahara, the journey turns north through the Middle Atlas cedar forests to the imperial city of Fes, with a full guided cultural day inside the world's largest car-free medina.
The final days bring you to the cosmopolitan northern port of Tangier — gateway between Africa and Europe — and the iconic blue town of Chefchaouen nestled in the Rif Mountains. The tour ends with a scenic drive back along the Atlantic coast to Casablanca airport for your departure flight.
From Casablanca, Around Morocco
Your 10-Day Programme
Arrival in Casablanca
Welcome to Morocco. Airport pick-up from Casablanca Mohammed V Airport with a warm Moroccan welcome and transfer to your hotel in the city center. Afternoon optional visit of the magnificent Hassan II Mosque — the largest mosque in Africa, with its 210-meter minaret rising over the Atlantic. Evening at leisure to recover from your flight.
Casablanca → Marrakech
After breakfast, drive south through wheat plains and olive groves to Marrakech — the legendary "Red City." Arrive by early afternoon and check into your traditional riad in the heart of the medina. Spend the afternoon exploring the souks with your driver-guide, visiting the Koutoubia Mosque, and walking to Jemaa el-Fnaa square to witness one of the most extraordinary spectacles in Morocco: storytellers, musicians, snake charmers, and food stalls filling the night air with smoke and song.
Marrakech → Aït Ben Haddou → Ouarzazate
Leave Marrakech in the morning for one of the most cinematic drives in North Africa — across the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n'Tichka pass at 2,260 meters, the highest mountain pass in North Africa. Stop at viewpoints over Berber villages perched on the mountainsides before descending into the red plains of the south. Visit Aït Ben Haddou — the UNESCO-listed mud-brick kasbah used in Gladiator, Game of Thrones, and Lawrence of Arabia. Continue to Ouarzazate, the "Hollywood of Morocco," with a short visit of the Taourirt Kasbah before overnight in a boutique hotel.
Ouarzazate → Skoura → Dades Valley
A slow day designed for the southern landscapes. After breakfast, walk through the Skoura palm grove with its scattered ancient kasbahs, including the famous Kasbah Amridil. Continue along the legendary "Road of a Thousand Kasbahs" toward the Dades Valley — every bend reveals a fortified mud-brick village, a palm grove, or a red-rock viewpoint. Arrive in Dades by late afternoon and check into a kasbah-style hotel built into the valley walls, with dinner served on a terrace overlooking the "monkey fingers" rock formations.
Dades → Todra Gorges → Merzouga Sahara
After breakfast, drive to the Todra Gorges — one of the most spectacular natural sites in Morocco, where you can walk inside the canyon between rock walls rising 300 meters above the river. Continue east through palm groves and desert plains toward Merzouga, with stops for photos and lunch along the way. Arrive at the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes in the late afternoon, where your camel will be waiting. Ride at sunset into the dunes as the sand turns from gold to pink to deep orange. Dinner under the stars at your desert camp.
Merzouga → Middle Atlas → Fes
Sunrise over the dunes followed by breakfast at the camp. Begin the long but spectacular drive north across the Middle Atlas Mountains. Leave the Sahara through Erfoud and the Ziz Valley canyon, then ascend into the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas with a stop at Ifrane — nicknamed "Little Switzerland." The cedar groves around the town are home to wild Barbary macaques. Continue through Midelt for lunch and arrive in Fes by early evening for overnight in a luxury riad inside the medina.
Fes — Full Guided Cultural Day
A full day exploring Fes with a licensed local guide. Walk through the world's largest car-free medina — a UNESCO World Heritage site. Visit the famous Chouara tanneries with their dramatic vats of natural dyes, the Al-Quaraouiyine (the world's oldest continuously operating university), the Bou Inania Madrasa with its stunning zellige tiles, the artisan quarters where craftsmen still work copper, leather, and brass by hand, and the royal palace gates. Free afternoon to wander or rest at your riad.
Fes → Volubilis → Tangier
Leave Fes heading north, with an optional stop at the Roman ruins of Volubilis — a UNESCO site with intact 3rd-century mosaics — and Meknes with its magnificent Bab Mansour gate. Continue along the Atlantic coast to Tangier, the cosmopolitan northern port where Europe meets Africa. Late afternoon arrival with time to visit the Kasbah, the medina, the American Legation, and Cape Spartel — the famous viewpoint where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea. Overnight in Tangier with a seafood dinner by the harbor.
Tangier → Chefchaouen
After breakfast, drive south through the Rif Mountains — one of the most beautiful drives in northern Morocco — to Chefchaouen, the famous blue-painted town. Arrive by late morning and spend the day at your own pace exploring the blue alleys, the small artisan shops, the kasbah and ethnographic museum. Hike up to the Spanish Mosque viewpoint for the best panoramic sunset over the town. Dinner at a riverside restaurant in the lower medina before a final night in the Rif Mountains.
Chefchaouen → Casablanca → Departure
After breakfast and a final morning walk in the blue alleys, begin the scenic drive south through the Rif Mountains. Optional stop in Rabat — the capital of Morocco — for a quick visit of the Hassan Tower, the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, and the Kasbah of the Udayas overlooking the Atlantic. Continue along the coast to Casablanca for drop-off at Mohammed V Airport for your departure flight, or at your hotel if you have an additional night in the city. End of an unforgettable Moroccan journey.
