Casablanca → Rabat → Chefchaouen
The 6-day Morocco itinerary begins with a warm welcome at Mohammed V International Airport or your hotel in Casablanca. The first stop is the Hassan II Mosque — the largest mosque in Morocco and one of the most impressive pieces of architecture on the African continent. From there the road heads north to Rabat — the capital of Morocco — where the Hassan Tower and the Kasbah of the Udayas are worth exploring. After lunch in Rabat, the journey continues to Chefchaouen, a stunning mountain town nestled in the Rif Mountains. On arrival you check into your riad, settle in, and soak up the peaceful atmosphere of one of Morocco's most beautiful towns.
Chefchaouen → Fes
After breakfast at your riad, the morning belongs entirely to Chefchaouen — the Blue City of Morocco. The narrow streets and alleys of the Medina are painted in vibrant shades of blue, making it one of the most photogenic places in the world. Markets full of colour and aroma fill the old town, and the cafes and restaurants serve some of the most authentic Moroccan food you will find anywhere. Tagines, pastries, mint tea — take your time. After a relaxed lunch surrounded by blue walls, the drive to Fes begins. The day ends in the heart of Fes old town — a beautiful riad and the ancient city's atmosphere waiting outside your window.
Full Guided Tour of Fes
Today is entirely dedicated to Fes — one of Morocco's most important cultural and historical cities. A knowledgeable local guide leads the full-day exploration. The tour begins at the golden gate of the Royal Palace before heading into the winding streets of the Medina — a UNESCO World Heritage Site packed with centuries-old landmarks. Al-Qarawiyyin University, the Al-Attarine Madrasa, the Nejjarine Fountain, and the famous Chouara Tanneries are all part of the route — each one a remarkable piece of Morocco's architectural and cultural heritage. The Jewish quarter, known as the Mellah, follows with its own distinct history. The day ends at an ancient fortress with a panoramic view over the entire city before returning to the riad.
Fes → Ifrane → Middle Atlas → Ziz Valley → Merzouga
After breakfast at the riad, the desert adventure begins — the drive south toward Merzouga and the Erg Chebbi dunes. A brief stop in Ifrane — a picturesque town in the Middle Atlas — offers a chance to breathe in cooler mountain air before continuing through the cedar forests where Barbary macaques roam freely in the wild. Lunch is at a restaurant along the route. The lush Ziz Valley opens up as the desert draws closer — a corridor of palm trees stretching toward the sand. Arriving in the afternoon, a camel guide is waiting at the edge of the dunes. The ride across Erg Chebbi pauses on a high dune for a breathtaking sunset before arriving at the luxury desert camp. Dinner is followed by a campfire evening — Berber drumming, traditional music, and a sky bursting with stars. Guests can even try playing the drums themselves.
Merzouga → Rissani → Todra Gorge → Dades Gorge
An early wake-up is highly recommended today — a sunrise over the majestic Erg Chebbi dunes is worth every early alarm. After breakfast at the camp, the return to Merzouga town is by camel or 4x4 — your choice. The drive heads toward Dades Gorge via Rissani — where a traditional Moroccan market is running if the day falls on a Sunday, Tuesday, or Thursday. The vibrant atmosphere, local products, and exchange between merchants and shoppers make it a worthwhile stop. The Todra River then guides the route to Tinghir, where a walk through the Todra Gorge — with its towering cliffs and winding pathways — is one of the most dramatic natural moments of the entire tour. The day ends at Dades Gorge with panoramic views of the famous monkey fingers rock formations and a comfortable hotel in the valley for the night.
Dades Gorge → Aït Ben Haddou → High Atlas → Marrakech
On the final day of the 6-day Morocco itinerary, the drive heads to Ouarzazate — known as the Hollywood of Africa. An optional visit to Atlas Studios allows a look at the famous film sets and props from dozens of major productions. From there the road leads to the Aït Ben Haddou Kasbah — a UNESCO World Heritage Site that appeared in Gladiator, Lawrence of Arabia, and Game of Thrones. After exploring the ancient kasbah and a satisfying lunch at a local restaurant, the High Atlas Mountains are crossed with stops for breathtaking panoramic views along the way. Arrival in Marrakech in the late afternoon — the tour ends with a drop-off at your accommodation.
