4 Days Morocco Tour from Casablanca
Four days from Casablanca to Marrakech via the Sahara.
A desert immersion, not a drive-by.
TourMorocco's magic packed into four days — easy. This private 4-day Morocco tour from Casablanca covers the Hassan II Mosque, the Hassan Tower in Rabat, the Medina of Fes, Barbary macaques in the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas, and the golden Erg Chebbi dunes of Merzouga.

Casablanca → Rabat → Fes
The tour begins with a morning pick-up from Mohammed V International Airport, your hotel, or anywhere you are based in Casablanca. The first stop is the Hassan II Mosque — the largest mosque in Morocco and the seventh largest in the world, with an exterior that is nothing short of spectacular. From there the road heads north to Rabat, where the Hassan Tower and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V are worth exploring. Lunch is in Rabat before the drive continues to Fes. The evening is yours — dinner in the Medina of Fes and overnight in a beautiful riad.
Fes → Ifrane → Middle Atlas → Ziz Valley → Merzouga
After breakfast at the riad, Fes is left behind and the long drive south to Merzouga begins. The first stop is Ifrane — a charming town in the Middle Atlas Mountains often compared to Switzerland. From there the route crosses the cedar forests where Barbary macaques roam freely in the wild — a rare and memorable stop. Lunch is at a restaurant along the way. The drive continues via the Tizi N Telghemt pass and along the Ziz Valley toward the desert. Arriving in Merzouga in the late afternoon, camels and a guide are waiting at the edge of the dunes. The ride takes you across the Erg Chebbi toward your desert camp — pausing on a high dune for the full sunset. A cup of tea greets you at the camp before dinner. The evening ends around a campfire with Berber music and a sky blazing with stars.
Merzouga → Rissani → Todra Canyon → Dades Gorges
An early wake-up is highly recommended today to catch the golden fingers of desert sunrise over the dunes. After breakfast at the camp, the return to Merzouga is by camel or 4x4 — your choice. If the day falls on a Tuesday, Thursday, or Sunday, a traditional Moroccan souk in Rissani is running — a worthwhile cultural stop. The drive then continues to Tinghir, with a panoramic stop over palm trees and Berber villages along the Todra River. A walk beneath the 300-metre cliffs of the Todra Canyon follows — one of the most dramatic landscapes in Morocco. The day ends at Dades Gorges, where a panoramic viewpoint of the famous monkey fingers rock formations and a winding valley road awaits before settling in for the night.
Dades Gorges → Aït Ben Haddou → High Atlas → Marrakech
After breakfast, the journey to Marrakech begins via Kelaat M'Gouna — a town famous for its rose-filled valley in spring. In Ouarzazate, an optional stop at Atlas Studios — the world's largest film set — is possible. From there the road leads to Aït Ben Haddou Kasbah — a striking example of Moroccan southern architecture that served as a backdrop for Gladiator, Lawrence of Arabia, The Mummy, and Prince of Persia, and became the city of Yunkai in Game of Thrones. After exploring the kasbah, the final stretch to Marrakech crosses the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n'Tichka pass at 2260 metres above sea level — with scenic stops along the way. The tour ends with a drop-off at your riad in Marrakech.

Why travellers choose this one.
Stop where you want, skip what you don't
Every stop on this tour is yours to control. If something catches your eye along the route, the driver stops. If a planned stop doesn't interest you, it's skipped. No fixed group schedule.
A local guide all to yourself
Your driver-guide knows these landscapes personally — the culture, the history, and the hidden details that no guidebook covers. You get that knowledge exclusively.
Air-conditioned comfort on every long drive
This tour involves serious driving distances. A private air-conditioned vehicle makes that completely comfortable — which matters more than people realise in Morocco's heat.

Hassan II Mosque, Rabat, Fes Medina, the Middle Atlas, Erg Chebbi dunes, Todra Canyon, Dades Gorges, Aït Ben Haddou, and the High Atlas — all in four days without feeling rushed.
Flexible on the desert leg

"Absolutely loved every moment of this 4-day Morocco tour. Mohamed was amazingly helpful throughout — Casablanca, Rabat, and Fes were all covered before the desert tour from Fes to Marrakech became the undeniable highlight. Spectacular scenery at every turn and accommodation that exceeded expectations at every stop — especially the desert camp. Across Morocco Travel comes highly recommended without hesitation."
"An excellent Morocco trip made possible by a team that took the highest care of us from the moment we landed. A knowledgeable guide added a personal touch that will forever be remembered — things were seen and experienced that would never have been found independently. One recommendation — adding an extra night in the desert is absolutely worth it for more time in this extraordinary place. Everything was planned, organised, and seamless. Safe and cared for at every stage. If Morocco is on your list, this is the team to go with. You will not be disappointed."
"The best trip of my life — full stop. Everything was perfect and went far beyond expectations. An amazing experience at every stop, a trip so well planned that nothing was left to chance. The desert experience was truly incredible — the team made us feel completely at home the entire time. Mohamed and his team created a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will be recommended to every friend who asks. Cannot be said enough — book this tour."
