About this trip
This nine-day route runs from Casablanca through Morocco's imperial cities and out to the Sahara, covering a lot of the country's classic sights in one go.
You'll wind through the Rif mountains to the blue-washed town of Chefchaouen, take in the Roman ruins at Volubilis and the old capital of Meknes, then reach Fez, one of the best-preserved historic towns anywhere. From there it's on to the desert for a camel ride and a night in a camp, then through Todra Gorges and Ait Benhaddou before finishing in Marrakesh.
It's a fully guided trip built around seeing as much as possible, with a transfer back to Casablanca airport at the end.
What you'll do
- Wander the blue-painted lanes of Chefchaouen
- Explore the Roman ruins at Volubilis and the imperial city of Meknes
- Get lost in the old medina of Fez
- Ride a camel into the Sahara and overnight in a desert camp
- Drive through Todra Gorges and stop at the Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou
- Finish in Marrakesh before the transfer to Casablanca
- Fast-paced — you cover long distances and change base most nights
- Fully guided throughout, so logistics are handled for you
- Ends with a transfer to Casablanca airport rather than Marrakesh
Worth it if you're fit enough for 2000 km of driving and variable accommodation standards. Think twice if you need hotels in city centres or heating in desert camps.
- Driver Ayoub stayed with you all 9 days, explained route details, and set genuine friendly tone throughout.
- Local guides at Fez, Volubilis, Ait Benhaddou were exceptional; Mohammed at Fez was extraordinary storyteller.
- Desert camp had no heating despite cold January weather; Marrakesh riad accommodation was ordinary to poor quality.
- Nine days involves heavy driving across 2000 km; elderly travellers found medina riads far from city centres, requiring stair climbs.
