About this tour
A Sweeping Route from the Red City to the Blue City and the Imperial North
This Marrakech to Casablanca tour starts in Marrakech and crosses the High Atlas to Aït Ben Haddou and the Dades Valley before two days exploring the Sahara at Merzouga.
From the desert, the journey heads north through Fes’s living medina and the Roman ruins of Volubilis to the blue-washed streets of Chefchaouen, before finishing with Rabat and Casablanca.
This is one of our broadest single loops — genuinely covering Morocco’s desert, imperial, and coastal faces in ten days.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which airports do I fly into and out of?
You’ll arrive at Marrakech Menara Airport and depart from Casablanca Mohammed V International Airport — a one-way loop, so book your flights accordingly. If your return flight is from Marrakech instead, let us know and we’ll adjust the final day.
Can this tour be customised?
Yes. This itinerary can be adjusted to your dates, pace and interests — extra nights in any city, a different accommodation tier, or changes to the route are all possible. Tell us what you’d like and we’ll tailor it.
How do I book, and what deposit is required?
A 30% deposit confirms your booking — pay it directly via our “Down Payment” option, or choose “Book Now, Pay Later” and we’ll send payment details by PayPal, Wise, or bank transfer. The remaining balance is settled in Morocco.
What payment methods do you accept?
The remaining balance can be paid in Morocco — cash (no fee), Wise (no fee), PayPal (5% fee), or credit card (3% fee, in MAD). Your deposit isn’t locked to this one trip: it’s valid toward any private tour we run, in Morocco or elsewhere we operate (Egypt, Jordan, Tanzania, Tunisia, Mauritania, and more), and it can be transferred to a family member, friend, or anyone you refer to us.
What is your cancellation policy?
If we need to cancel (extremely rare, emergency only), your deposit is refunded in full. If you need to cancel: the deposit is non-refundable, but canceling 30+ days before departure lets you apply it to a postponed trip within the next two years, at no extra cost. Canceling within 0–29 days of departure may carry a hotel cancellation charge, which varies by property — we only pass on what we’re actually charged, nothing more.
Do I need travel insurance?
Travel insurance is not included in this tour and is not provided by us, but we strongly recommend arranging it before you travel.
Do I need a visa for Morocco?
Visa requirements depend on your nationality — many visitors (including from the EU, UK, US and Canada) can enter visa-free for stays up to 90 days, but you should confirm your own country’s requirement before booking flights.
Still have questions?
Talk to our Morocco team directly. We usually reply within a few hours.
