About this trip
This 12-day private tour takes you across Morocco in a wide loop from Marrakech, through imperial cities, mountain landscapes and the Sahara, before returning the way of the great kasbahs and gorges.
You'll trace a route through Rabat, Meknes and Fes, then head south-east across the Middle Atlas and its cedar forests towards Merzouga, where a camel ride carries you into the dunes for a night under the desert sky. The return leg runs through the Todra and Dades Gorges, the rose town of Kelaat M'Gouna, Skoura's oases and kasbahs, and the film sets of Ouarzazate.
As a private, fully guided trip, the pace and stops are built around your group, with a guide alongside you the whole way — good for families or anyone who'd rather not join a fixed departure.
What you'll do
- See the Roman ruins of Volubilis and the imperial city of Meknes
- Explore the medieval medina of Fes
- Cross the Middle Atlas through Ifrane, Azrou and the cedar forests
- Ride a camel into the Sahara dunes at Merzouga and spend a night in the desert
- Pass through the Todra and Dades Gorges and the kasbah of Ait Benhaddou
- Drive the High Atlas mountains back to Marrakech
- Private and fully guided, so timings can flex to suit your group
- Long driving days link the regions — this is a wide-ranging tour rather than a single-base stay
- One night is spent camping in the desert after the camel ride
Worth it if you want a comprehensive, well-organised Moroccan sweep with strong guides and comfortable transport. Think twice if you're keen on extended beach time or multiple days in the Sahara—the itinerary packs a lot in 12 days.
- Guides are genuinely knowledgeable, passionate, and happy to discuss history, culture, and current topics openly.
- Covers the full range—cities, Atlas Mountains, Sahara desert, authentic local experiences—so you see genuine breadth of Morocco.
- Twelve days is tight; several reviewers wished for extra time in Sahara or to add beach days once there.
- Itinerary is customisable for activity level and interests, so flexibility exists if you communicate needs early.
