About this trip
Nine days across Morocco, starting in Casablanca and taking in the imperial cities before heading out to the Sahara. Expect old medinas, historic palaces and mosques, and a proper night out in the desert.
The route mixes city time with a change of pace once you hit the plains and mountains on the way south, ending with camels and a night under the stars at a desert camp.
It's a broad introduction to the country — culture, landscape and some downtime, rather than one deep focus.
What you'll do
- Wander the medinas of Morocco's imperial cities
- Visit historic palaces and mosques
- Browse traditional markets and meet locals
- Cross plains and mountains en route to the Sahara
- Ride camels into the desert
- Overnight at a desert camp under the stars
- Covers a lot of ground in 9 days, expect regular travel between stops
- Suits those wanting a broad mix of cities, culture and desert rather than a single-region deep dive
Worth it if you want affordable Sahara access with a solid driver and don't mind basic lodging. Think twice if you're a large group or expect fully guided experiences throughout.
- Driver quality makes or breaks it—Ismail, Aissa, and Karim were genuinely competent, calm, and went beyond driving.
- Sahara Desert and Fez medina genuinely deliver; guides help you navigate maze-like alleys without getting hopelessly lost.
- Large groups get cramped vehicles with detached guides; accommodations range from clean and comfortable to hostel-quality with electrical failures.
- Bring extra cash for lunches, entrance fees, tips, and toilet paper; itinerary can shift last-minute due to local conditions.
