15 Days Grand Morocco Tour

A working draft: every day can be lengthened, shortened or swapped once we know what matters most to you.

1. Day1

   Marrakech city

   A guided day in the Red City — the maze of the souks, the Koutoubia minaret, the carved courtyards of the Bahia Palace and the food stalls of Jemaa el-Fnaa as evening falls.

   

2. Day2

   Marrakech → Aït Ben Haddou → Ouarzazate

   Climb the Tizi n'Tichka pass over the High Atlas, detour to the hilltop Telouet Kasbah, then explore the earthen ksar of Aït Ben Haddou before settling into Ouarzazate for the night.

   

3. Day3

   Ouarzazate → Skoura → Valley of Roses → Dadès

   Wander the palm groves and kasbahs of the Skoura oasis, follow the Valley of Roses toward Kalaat M'Gouna, and settle into the Dadès Gorge for the night among its folded rock formations.

4. Day4

   Dadès → Todgha → Merzouga

   A morning walk beneath the towering limestone walls of Todgha Gorge, then east via Tinghir and Rissani to Merzouga. As the light turns gold, a camel trek carries you into the Erg Chebbi dunes for dinner and a first night at camp.

   

5. Day5

   A full day in the Sahara

   Watch the sunrise over the dunes, then a full day by 4x4 — Khamlia's Gnaoua musicians, tea with a nomad family and off-road tracks across the erg — before a second night at your desert camp.

6. Day6

   Merzouga → Ziz Valley → Midelt → Fes

   Drive north through the palm-lined Ziz Valley and Midelt into the Middle Atlas cedar forests, where wild Barbary macaques forage by the roadside, arriving in Fes by evening.

   

7. Day7

   A full day in Fes

   A local guide leads you through the medieval medina — the Chouara tanneries, the Bou Inania madrasa, the Al-Qarawiyyin mosque and university and the working artisan quarters — one of the best-preserved old cities in the world.

8. Day8

   Fes → Chefchaouen

   Cross into the Rif Mountains for Chefchaouen, spending the afternoon among its blue-washed lanes and the red-walled kasbah as evening settles in.

   

9. Day9

   Chefchaouen → Volubilis → Meknes → Fes/Rabat

   Descend from the Rif to the Roman ruins of Volubilis, still scattered with mosaics, then imperial Meknes and its monumental Bab Mansour gate, continuing on toward the capital for the night.

   

10. Day10

    → Rabat

    A morning in Rabat — the Hassan Tower, the Mohammed V Mausoleum and the whitewashed Kasbah of the Udayas above the Atlantic.

11. Day11

    Rabat → Casablanca

    South along the coast to Casablanca for the vast Hassan II Mosque, built out over the ocean, and an evening on the Atlantic corniche.

    

12. Day12

    Casablanca → El Jadida → Essaouira

    Follow the Atlantic coast south through the Portuguese-built ramparts of El Jadida to the port city of Essaouira for the night.

    

13. Day13

    Essaouira at leisure

    A slow day at the coast — the Skala ramparts, the fishing harbour and the long beach south of town — with time to browse the medina's galleries and woodwork stalls.

14. Day14

    Essaouira → Marrakech

    A relaxed drive inland through argan forest back to Marrakech, arriving in time to settle in before the evening crowds gather at Jemaa el-Fnaa.

15. Day15

    Departure

    A final free morning in Marrakech before your airport transfer, closing out a fortnight that took in every region of the country.
