14-Day Morocco Tour
from Casablanca

Day 1: Casablanca—Arrival and City Introduction

Your 14-day Morocco tour from Casablanca begins at Mohammed V International Airport, where your driver is waiting. After check-in, the afternoon offers a first look at the city—the Hassan II Mosque, one of the world’s largest, built partly over the Atlantic—and a walk along the Corniche to ease into the journey at a relaxed pace. Overnight in Casablanca.

Day 2: Casablanca ⇢ Rabat ⇢ Chefchaouen

The route heads north to Rabat, Morocco’s capital, for visits to the Hassan Tower and the Kasbah of the Udayas—a quiet fortress with blue-and-white lanes and views over the Bou Regreg River—before continuing through rolling countryside and Rif Mountain foothills into Chefchaouen by late afternoon.

Day 3: Full Free Day in Chefchaouen

Today is entirely yours. Wander the blue medina at your own pace, browse artisan shops, walk up to the Spanish Mosque for a panoramic view over the rooftops, or simply sit at a café and let the town’s unhurried atmosphere do its work. There is no schedule and no driver waiting.

Day 4: Chefchaouen ⇢ Volubilis ⇢ Meknes ⇢ Fes

After breakfast, the Rif countryside leads to Volubilis—a UNESCO-listed Roman city where intricate floor mosaics, stone columns, and 3rd-century public buildings tell the story of ancient North Africa. From there, you continue to Meknes for lunch, a visit to the Bab Mansour Gate, the Royal Stables, and the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, before settling into your riad in Fes for the night.

Day 5: Full-Day Guided Tour of Fes

A knowledgeable local guide leads your full day in the UNESCO-listed Fes medina—the Royal Palace gates, Bab Boujloud, Al-Qarawiyyin University, the Al-Attarine Madrasa, the Chouara Tanneries, and the Jewish Quarter—finishing with a panoramic view from an ancient fortress over the whole city. You return to your riad having genuinely explored one of the oldest and most complex cities in the Islamic world, not just walked past its entrance.

Day 6: Fes ⇢ Ifrane ⇢ Azrou ⇢ Ziz Valley ⇢ Merzouga

After breakfast, the route heads south through the alpine town of Ifrane—often called the Switzerland of Morocco—then through the cedar forests of Azrou, where wild Barbary macaques live among some of the oldest cedar trees in North Africa. The landscape shifts from green forest to rocky plateau, then to the Ziz Valley palm oasis before arriving at the Erg Chebbi dunes for a camel trek and sunset. The evening continues at your luxury desert camp with dinner, Berber drumming, and a night under exceptional desert stars.

Day 7: Full Day Exploring the Merzouga Desert

After a sunrise over the dunes and breakfast at camp, the full day begins in Khamlia village, where the Gnawa community performs traditional music with roots in Mali, Sudan, and Niger. An off-road drive follows through nomadic settlements and palm oases, giving genuine insight into desert life far from the tourist trail.

The afternoon is free to relax at your riad’s pool before an optional sunset quad bike or buggy ride across the dunes. Dinner and overnight at the riad complete the day.

Day 8: Merzouga ⇢ Rissani ⇢ Todra Gorge ⇢ Dades Valley

After breakfast, an optional stop at the Rissani souk—a historic desert trading town lively on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays—is followed by a walk through Todra Gorge, where limestone cliffs rise sharply 300 meters above a narrow canyon riverbed. The drive continues through Dades Valley and its famous monkey finger rock formations before settling into a hotel overlooking the valley for the night.

Day 9: Dades Valley ⇢ Valley of Roses ⇢ Ouarzazate ⇢ Ait Benhaddou ⇢ Marrakech

The day begins with a drive through the Valley of Roses—the fragrant stretch around Kalaat M’Gouna, where pink roses fill the fields in spring and local cooperatives produce rose water, perfumes, and natural cosmetics year-round. From there, the route continues to Ouarzazate, the Hollywood of Africa, for an optional visit to Atlas Studios and the Taourirt Kasbah. Our dedicated Ouarzazate tours page covers the city in more depth if you’d like to extend this stop.

From Ouarzazate, a short drive leads to the UNESCO-listed Ait Benhaddou Kasbah, one of Morocco’s most celebrated pieces of earthen architecture and a filming location for Gladiator, The Mummy, and Game of Thrones. The route then crosses the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka Pass into Marrakech by evening.

Day 10: Full-Day Guided Tour of Marrakech

A local guide leads the full day—Jemaa El-Fna Square, the Koutoubia Mosque, Bahia Palace, the Saadian Tombs, Ben Youssef Madrasa, and the medina’s spice-filled souks—before an afternoon at the Majorelle Garden. The evening is yours on the square or at a rooftop café overlooking the medina. You can also explore further options via our Marrakech desert tours page for anyone who wants to extend their time in the city.

Day 11: Day Trip to Ourika Valley

After breakfast, the hour-long drive into the Ourika Valley enters the High Atlas foothills through a landscape of terraced fields, walnut groves, and Berber villages. The Setti Fatma waterfalls make an easy 20-minute walk from the road’s end, with the option to climb higher for more. The valley offers a genuinely peaceful contrast to the energy of Marrakech, and you return to the city in the evening.

Day 12: Marrakech ⇢ Essaouira

After breakfast, the drive west includes a stop at an argan oil cooperative to see traditional production methods before arriving in Essaouira, a UNESCO-listed Atlantic port town with a medina characterized by whitewashed walls, blue shutters, and a working fishing harbor. The Skala fortress offers sweeping ocean views, while the artisan quarter fills the afternoon with woodcarvers, jewellers, and textile workshops. Overnight in Essaouira.

Day 13: Essaouira ⇢ El Jadida ⇢ Casablanca

After a final morning in Essaouira, the drive north follows the Atlantic coast towards Casablanca, with a stop in El Jadida—a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2004. Built as a Portuguese fortified colony in the early 16th century, El Jadida’s most remarkable feature is its underground cistern: a vaulted chamber built in the Manueline style of late Gothic architecture, where the high stone arches reflect perfectly in the shallow water below. The Renaissance-era ramparts and sea gate add to a stop that feels genuinely different from anything else on this route. From El Jadida, the final stretch north leads back to Casablanca for your last night.

Day 14: Transfer to Casablanca or Marrakech Airport

On the final morning of your 14-day Morocco tour from Casablanca, your driver transfers you to Mohammed V International Airport in Casablanca or Marrakech Menara Airport, depending on your departure flight—bringing a complete two-week circuit of Morocco to a close.
