Overview

What to expect on this 7-day private tour from Casablanca

Quick Answer

A week across Morocco from Casablanca to Marrakech, north to south, with two nights in Chefchaouen so the blue city gets a free day rather than a rushed afternoon. From Casablanca you drive straight up into the Rif, then continue through Roman Volubilis and Meknes to Fes for a guided day in the medina.

South from Fes through Ifrane, the Azrou cedar forest and Midelt to Erfoud and Merzouga, arriving for a camel trek over Erg Chebbi and a night at a Berber camp. The last stretch runs west through the Todra gorge and the Dades valley, then Ait Ben Haddou and over the High Atlas into Marrakech. Six nights, private vehicle and driver-guide throughout, and every major region of the north and south covered once.
