About this trip
This seven-day route runs from Casablanca to Marrakech, taking in Morocco's imperial cities and a night out in the Sahara. It's a guided journey through history, markets and landscape rather than a beach-and-relax trip.
You'll spend time in Fez, Chefchaouen and Casablanca before heading into the desert, where you swap city streets for camel treks and a night under the stars. The route also takes you through the Ziz valley, Todra gorge and the valley of roses on the way to Marrakech.
It's a small-group trip with a local guide throughout, suited to those who want a proper look at Moroccan culture and scenery without organising the logistics themselves.
What you'll do
- Explore Marrakech's gardens and market stalls
- Walk the old Medina of Fez with a local guide
- Visit the blue-washed streets of Chefchaouen
- Ride camels into the Sahara with Berber cameleers and camp overnight among the dunes
- Drive through Todra gorge and the valley of roses
- See the UNESCO-listed Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou
- Fully guided throughout, with a local guide leading the Fez medina visit
- One night is spent camping in the desert, so pack for cooler nights
- Itinerary covers a lot of ground across several cities, so expect regular travel days
Worth it if you want northern Morocco plus Sahara desert in one week with a genuinely strong guide and driver. Think twice if you dislike long driving days or need flexibility.
- Said's local knowledge and Ibrahim's driving created genuine cultural access; guests repeatedly noted their professionalism and care.
- Desert camp and sunset camel trek in Erg Chebbi were standout highlights; worth the long Merzouga drive for most.
- Long driving days to Merzouga and between cities; one reviewer flagged this explicitly as something to prepare for mentally.
- Early starts in Chefchaouen beat crowds; pack light and bring a scarf for desert temperature swings, especially in summer.
