About this tour

Morocco’s Grand Loop: Imperial Cities, the Sahara, and the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs

This Morocco classic tour begins in Casablanca and winds north to the royal city of Rabat before settling into Fes, where a full day with a private guide takes you deep into one of the world’s oldest living medinas.

From there, the real adventure begins: a spectacular overland crossing through the Middle Atlas to the Sahara, two nights under canvas and stars at the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes, and a journey back west along the legendary Road of a Thousand Kasbahs, through the Valley of Roses and the UNESCO-listed village of Ait Ben Haddou.

The trip closes with three full days in Marrakech, enough time to properly explore the souks, the imperial palaces, and unwind with a traditional hammam before you fly home.

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.
