About this trip
This is a loop out of Casablanca that takes in Morocco's imperial cities before heading out to the Sahara. You move steadily across the country, from the coast into the Middle Atlas, down to the desert at Merzouga, then back through the gorges and kasbahs of the south to Marrakech.
It's a fully guided trip built for covering ground and seeing a lot in ten days, with the desert stretch as the centrepiece. Along the way you take in Rabat, Meknes, Fes, and the fortified kasbahs that give the region its character.
What you'll do
- Explore the Kasbah of the Oudayas in Rabat
- Wander the medina and imperial sites of Fes
- Cross the Middle Atlas through Azrou and Midelt
- Spend time in the Sahara Desert at Merzouga
- Visit Todra Gorge and the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou
- Finish in Marrakech before returning to Casablanca
- Fast-paced — you change base most nights across the ten days
- Involves long overland drives between stops, including into and out of the desert
- Suited to those wanting a broad overview of Morocco's cities and desert rather than time settled in one place
Worth it if you want a properly organized introduction to Morocco hitting all the highlights. Think twice if you prefer slower travel or have mobility issues with long driving days.
- Guide quality is genuinely exceptional—Zacarias specifically praised for patience, knowledge, and making groups feel like family.
- Desert camp with camel rides and stargazing consistently flagged as trip highlight; authentic, magical experience delivered.
- Long transfer days between cities mentioned multiple times; manageable if you're okay with substantial daily driving.
- Itinerary paces ten days across multiple landscapes—works for first-timers but leaves limited depth in each location.
