About this trip
Nine days from Tangier taking in Morocco's big-hitters: Chefchaouen's blue lanes, the old imperial cities of Fes and Meknes, the Sahara around Merzouga, Marrakech, and the Atlantic coast at Essaouira.
This runs as a private tour, so it's just you (and your group) with a dedicated driver/guide covering the whole route. Expect a proper mix of landscapes along the way — mountain villages, canyons and valleys, and unusual rock formations — plus a fair bit of desert time.
Nights are split between riads and hotels, with 8 nights of accommodation included over the trip.
What you'll do
- Wander the blue-washed streets of Chefchaouen
- Explore the medinas of Fes and Meknes
- Ride camels into the Sahara dunes near Merzouga
- Try quad biking and hiking in the desert, with an optional hot air balloon flight
- Pass through Berber villages and mountain valleys en route
- Finish on the Atlantic coast in Essaouira and the streets of Marrakech
- Private tour with your own driver/guide throughout, rather than a fixed group bus
- Covers a lot of ground in 9 days, moving between cities, mountains and desert
- 8 nights in riads and hotels are included
Worth it if you value knowledgeable drivers and authentic cultural insights. Think twice if you need flexibility with popular attractions or expect all hotels to meet the same standard.
- Drivers consistently praised for professionalism, insider knowledge, and sharing genuine Moroccan culture throughout the journey.
- Jardin Majorelle tickets sell out fast online; last-minute notification left one group unable to visit.
- Marrakesh hotel notably fell below the standard of other accommodations on the itinerary.
- Desert experience and varied landscapes consistently mentioned; trip covers ground comprehensively across Morocco.
