What to expect on this 15-day private round trip from Casablanca
This private 15-day Casablanca Morocco tour is the most complete circuit we offer — a full loop of the country taking in the Atlantic coast, Asilah and Tangier, the blue city of Chefchaouen, Roman Volubilis, the imperial cities of Rabat, Meknes, Fes and Marrakech, the Middle Atlas cedar forests, two nights in the Erg Chebbi dunes, the southern gorges and kasbahs, and the windswept port of Essaouira.Everything is private and unhurried: your own driver-guide, an air-conditioned vehicle, guided days in Fes and Marrakech, free days in Chefchaouen and Marrakech, and enough time to actually live each place rather than rush past it.
