6 Days Morocco Itinerary from Casablanca

Today, our driver will pick you up from your accommodation in Casablanca and take you to the magnificent Hassan II Mosque. One of the largest and most beautiful mosques in the world, it is gorgeously positioned along the Atlantic Ocean, and its prestigious interior is decorated with the finest Moroccan mosaics.

Next, we travel to Rabat, the capital of Morocco. Rabat is home to important landmarks, including the Royal Palace and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, as well as several historical tourist attractions. The major things to do while in town include exploring the Oudaias Kasbah, admiring the Hassan Tower, and visiting the Mausoleum of Mohammed V.

Our journey continues to Chefchaouen, the famed blue pearl nestled at the foot of the Rif Mountains. The town's name comes from the word "Chaouen", meaning "Horns", which refers to the shape of the mountain peaks above it. Founded in 1471 as a small fortress by Moulay Ali Ben Moussa, Chefchaouen later experienced Spanish occupation before gaining independence in 1956. Known as the Blue City for its traditional blue-painted buildings, it is a photographer's dream. Overnight accommodation will be provided in Chefchaouen.

Rise early in Chefchaouen to capture the calm, empty streets before departing for Fes after breakfast. On the way, you'll visit the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. Wander through this archaeological marvel, exploring its temples and mosaics.

Next, continue to Meknes, an imperial city built by Sultan Moulay Ismail in the 17th century. Here, you will visit the historic old Medina, surrounded by impressive walls, as well as the famous Bab El Mansour and the Moulay Ismail Tombs. In Meknes, you'll also have the chance to explore El Hedim Square.

At the end of the day, you will drive directly to your accommodation in Fes for the night.

After breakfast, you will meet our local guide in Fes for a full-day tour. Fes is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site and is one of the oldest imperial cities in Morocco, founded in 808 as the first political, religious, and cultural capital.

Our tour will start at the Golden Doors of the Royal Palace. Afterward, we will head to a viewpoint where you can admire the impressive walls that surround the Old Medina (Fes El-Bali). Then, we'll continue on foot through the Medina, allowing you to immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere and experience hundreds of feelings revolted of this historic area.

As we explore, you will visit mosques, madrassas, and various religious places before reaching the district of the Tanners. Please note that lunch during your walking tour is not included in the price (lunch will be at a typical Moroccan restaurant in the old Medina). We will then continue to the artisans' neighborhood, where skilled craftsmen preserve the knowledge and techniques they brought from Spain, and kept Andalusian art and style to this day.

In the evening, you will enjoy the rest sights on your own and spend the night at a hotel or riad.

After breakfast at your accommodation in Fes, we travel southeast, passing through the charming city of Ifrane, known as the "Switzerland of Morocco", followed by a crossing of the Cedar Forest, the largest woodland in Morocco and home to wild apes (Barbary macaque).

Next, we will travel toward the Mid-Atlas Mountains. We enjoy lunch in either Midelt or Er-Rich before continuing our route. Our itinerary takes us via the Tizi N'Taghamt pass and along the stunning Ziz Valley, where you'll have the opportunity to admire a panoramic view of this magnificent valley.

Later, we travel on to Erfoud, known for its date festival and fossil production, until we finally arrive at Erg Chebbi, an extensive sea of sand dunes. Here, you'll leave the car behind and join an exciting camel trekking adventure over the golden sand dunes of Erg Chebbi. Enjoy the breathtaking view of the sunset from atop a high dune before continuing to your desert camp.

After a delicious dinner at the camp, relax under the stars as you listen to Berber music played by local nomads around a cozy campfire. If you love dancing, feel free to join in and dance to the rhythms of the music. You'll be amazed by the starlit sky above you, then, before you go to your tent.

Before returning to the meeting point, you'll wake up early to witness the beautiful sunrise over the golden sand dunes of Erg Chebbi. Watch as the early light reflects the large sea of sand. After this unforgettable moment, return to your desert camp for a shower and a delicious breakfast.

Once you've had your breakfast, you'll ride back to the camel departure point and prepare for the next step of your desert trip. We'll leave the vast desert behind as we travel toward the historic city of Rissani, once a major stop on the ancient Sahara caravan routes. If your visit coincides with the local market days (Tuesdays, Thursdays, or Sundays), you'll have the opportunity to explore the largest souk in the region.

Our journey continues with a stop in Erfoud, known as the Fossil Town, before heading into the Dades Valley. As we travel, you'll pass through charming villages such as Jorf, Tinjdad, and Tinghir, eventually arriving at Todra Valley, a green oasis surrounded by mud villages and towering mountains. After a 30-minute drive, we reach Todra Gorges, a dramatic, narrow passage with vertical cliffs rising 300 meters on each side, popular with climbing lovers.

We then continue our journey into the Dades Valley, where we'll stop at majestic sand castles, unique rock formations known as "monkey fingers", and beautiful mud kasbahs. You will spend the night in the tranquil surroundings of the Dades Valley.

Today, we will depart from Dades Gorges and head toward Marrakech. As we travel along the famous Road of Thousand Kasbahs, we will stop in Kalaat M'Gouna, known as the Valley of Roses. Here, you will have the chance to explore local cooperatives and shops offering rose-based products. This beautiful valley hosts the annual Rose Festival every May, celebrating the region's famed rose cultivation.

Our journey continues to Skoura (If time allows, you will visit Amridil Kasbah) and Ouarzazate, where we will visit the famous Atlas Studios, known as the Hollywood of Africa, where many films and series have been shot.

Next, we head to the Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that once served as an important stop for caravans crossing the desert. Today, it is a popular filming location for many international movies. Lunch will be served at a restaurant in the village.

Finally, we will cross the Tizi N'Tichka Pass, which offers breathtaking views of valleys, mountains, and traditional Berber villages nestled in the hills, as we make our way to Marrakech.
