About this tour
This 15-day Morocco tour begins in Casablanca and heads straight to Rabat, Morocco’s elegant royal capital, before continuing into the Rif Mountains to Chefchaouen — the Blue City — for two full days among its blue-washed alleyways.
From there the route runs through Fez’s living medina, across the Middle Atlas to two nights in the Sahara at Merzouga, then west along the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs through Ouarzazate and the UNESCO village of Aït Benhaddou, before reaching the Atlantic coast at Essaouira for two more days by the sea.
The final stretch takes you through a night in the Agafay desert just outside Marrakech, then three full days in the Red City itself — souks, palaces, gardens, and a farewell dinner to close one of our most complete Morocco itineraries.
As a Moroccan local operator, we hand-pick every riad, camp and guide on this route. Every itinerary can be tailored to your dates, pace and interests.

The journey

Arrive at Casablanca Mohammed V International Airport, where your private driver / guide meets you in the arrivals hall and takes you to Rabat, the capital, about an hour away. After checking in at your hotel and resting, the evening is free. If you have the energy, the old medina of Rabat is calm compared with those of other Moroccan cities, and a good place for a first walk. Afterward get ready for a welcome dinner that closes the day. The timing adapts to your flight, so there is no need to rush after a long journey.

After breakfast at your accommodation, your guide takes you through the main sights of Rabat. You start at the Hassan Tower, the unfinished minaret of a 12th-century mosque, and the Mohammed V Mausoleum beside it, one of the finest examples of modern Moroccan craftsmanship. Then you walk through the Kasbah of the Udayas, a whitewashed fortress quarter with blue-painted lanes and wide views over the Atlantic Ocean and the Bouregreg river.
In the afternoon you drive north into the Rif Mountains. The landscape turns greener as you climb, and you reach Chefchaouen by evening. You check into your riad in the Blue City, and the rest of the day is yours to settle in.

Chefchaouen is a town to explore slowly. Your guide leads a walking tour through its blue-washed alleyways, stairways and doorways, and to Plaza Uta el-Hammam, the main square beside the old kasbah, lined with cafés. You learn about the town’s Andalusian and Berber past and how it came to be painted blue.
The afternoon is free. You can rest at your riad, or walk up to the Spanish Mosque for a panoramic view over the town and the mountains, best in the late afternoon light. The climb takes around half an hour from town, and the path is uneven, so wear comfortable shoes.

After breakfast you leave the Rif and drive south toward Fez, with a stop in Meknes, one of Morocco’s four imperial cities. Here you see the monumental Bab Mansour Gate, often called the most beautiful gate in the country, and the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, the sultan who made Meknes his capital in the 17th century.
Afterward, lunch will be in a farm in the region of Meknes, then continue to Fez, arrive in the late afternoon and check into your riad. The evening is free to rest. Tomorrow is a full day in the medina, so tonight is a good time to relax.

Today is a full guided day in Fez, home to one of the largest car-free urban areas in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You start at the exterior of the Royal Palace, with its brass doors and tiled walls, then walk through the Jewish Quarter (the Mellah), with its distinctive balconies and old synagogue streets. A visit to a ceramic workshop shows how Fez’s famous blue pottery is shaped, painted and fired by hand.
In the afternoon you go deeper into the medina’s souks and artisan ateliers, passing the exterior of Al Quaraouiyine, founded in 859 and widely considered the oldest continually operating university in the world. You also visit the Chouara Tanneries, where leather is dyed in open stone vats, a method that has barely changed in centuries. Afterward, return back to your accommodation, time at leisure.

This is the longest driving day of the trip, and it is also one of the most varied. You leave Fez and climb into the Middle Atlas Mountains, stopping first at Ifrane, the alpine-style town known as Morocco’s Little Switzerland. Next is the Azrou Cedar Forest, where wild Barbary macaques come down to the roadside. Lunch is on the way.
In the afternoon the landscape changes. The cedar forest gives way to high plateaus, then to palm-filled valleys and the first dunes at the edge of the Sahara. You reach Merzouga in late afternoon, you ride a camel into the Erg Chebbi dunes to your camp, dinner is served in your camp as well followed by berber music.

A full day in the desert, with no long drive. You begin by visiting a nomadic village, where you learn how families live in this part of the Sahara, followed by a Gnawa music performance, a tradition of drumming and chanting with roots in sub-Saharan Africa.
Lunch in a local restaurant. You then return to your luxury desert camp, time at leisure to climb the dunes of free time for photos. Dinner is served in the camp.

After breakfast you leave the dunes and head west along the legendary Road of 1000 Kasbahs. The route follows the southern flank of the High Atlas through palm groves, river valleys and villages with clay-built kasbahs, and your driver stops at several sites along the way for photos and short visits. Lunch stop whenever you want.
You arrive in Ouarzazate (known as the Gateway to the Sahara)in the evening. Time at leisure. the town is a convenient base for tomorrow’s visit to Aït Benhaddou.

You start the morning at Aït Benhaddou, Morocco’s most famous fortified ksar and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built of earth and clay along an old caravan route, it has appeared in many films and television series. Your guide takes you up through its alleys to the top for wide views over the valley.
Next, you continue your jounrey, crossing the High Atlas by the Tizi n’Tichka pass, then continuing across the plains toward the Atlantic coast and Essaouira. This is a long travel day broken up by stops. You check into your accommodation on arrival.

Essaouira is a relaxed, breezy coastal town with a walled medina that is also listed by UNESCO. Your guide takes you through its highlights, starting with the Skala de la Kasbah, the old sea ramparts lined with cannons, and its views over the Atlantic. You also stop at traditional artisan workshops, where the local specialty is woodwork made from thuya, a fragrant native wood.
The afternoon is free. You can walk the harbor and watch the blue fishing boats, spend time on the long beach, browse the souks, or visit one of the local art galleries.

The morning is free in Essaouira, so you can enjoy a slow breakfast, visit the port, or one more walk along the ramparts. Then head toward Agafay Desert, a rocky desert, landscape of stone and low hills about 45 minutes from Marrakech, with the Atlas Mountains on the horizon.
You arrive in the afternoon at your luxury desert camp. Spend time by the pool, and watch the sunset over the hills. Dinner and entertainment are at the camp. Agafay is a stony desert rather than a sandy one, which is a lovely contrast with the Sahara dunes you saw earlier.

After breakfast, time at leisure in Agafay, then a short drive of about 45 minutes brings you into Marrakech. Your guide takes you on an orientation tour of the medina and Jemaa el-Fnaa Square, the heart of the city and a UNESCO-recognized cultural space. You get a sense of the layout of the old city, the main landmarks, and how to get around, so the days ahead feel easy.
Optional food tasting tour in in the evening, and see Jemaa el-Fnaa after dark, when the square fills with food stalls, musicians and storytellers, your guide can point you to the best time and place to do it.

A full guided tour of Marrakech’s imperial landmarks, start your day by visiting the 14th-century Ben Youssef Madrasa, the 19th-century Bahia Palace with its gardens and tilework, and the iconic 77-metre Koutoubia Mosque minaret, followed by a walk through the legendary souks. In the afternoon, join a traditional Moroccan cooking class where you will prepare your own meal from scratch, learning classic dishes such as tagine, couscous, and Moroccan salads with a local chef, and enjoy what you have made as your dinner for the evening.
In between, there is time to stroll the souks and sample Moroccan specialties along the way.

This day is yours to shape. Select the experience that suits you best from the three options below:
Option A: City Leisure, Hammam & Farewell Dinner

The evening closes with a farewell dinner at a nice Marrakech restaurant.
Option B: Day Trip to Imlil & High Atlas Mountains
