About this trip
A week-long loop out of Marrakech that takes in most of Morocco's greatest hits, from imperial cities to the Sahara. You'll cover a lot of ground, moving through Casablanca, Rabat, Chefchaouen, Fes and Meknes before heading into the desert and back over the High Atlas.
The middle stretch is the heart of it: golden dunes at Merzouga with a camel trek and a night camping under the stars, followed by the Todra Gorges, Rose Valley and the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou. It's a mix of cities, ruins, mountains and desert rather than one single focus.
This suits travellers who want a broad first look at Morocco rather than lingering long in any one place, with a guide handling the route and logistics throughout.
What you'll do
- See the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca
- Wander the blue-washed streets of Chefchaouen
- Get lost in the UNESCO-listed medina of Fes
- Camel trek into the dunes at Merzouga and camp overnight in the desert
- Walk through the Todra Gorges and Rose Valley
- Visit the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou and cross the High Atlas Mountains
- Fast-paced — you change location most days across the 7 days
- Covers a wide loop of Morocco rather than settling in one region
- Fully guided throughout, so the route and stops are set for you
Worth it if you enjoy long drives and value a stellar driver-guide who makes the journey bearable. Think twice if you need consistent hotel standards or prefer a slower pace.
- Driver quality makes or breaks it—Zakaria, Khalifa, and Mokhtar consistently transformed long car days into engaging, comfortable experiences.
- Accommodation standards vary noticeably; Oum Palace hotel in Casablanca flagged for poor food, no A/C, and weak location.
- Itinerary is genuinely aggressive: many hours daily in a car, arriving destinations late, only two nights in any one place.
- Only one guided tour included in Fes; other location tours cost extra, so factor in additional expenses and language barriers.
