4 Day Morocco Tour from Casablanca to Marrakech through imperial cities, the Sahara desert, the Atlas mountains, and Berber villages. This 4-day 3-night trip starts from Casablanca towards Fes, the spiritual capital of Morocco. Then, you head southeast through the Middle and High Atlas mountains to explore the Sahara Desert, experience camel trekking, and camping in Berber tents.
Finally, you will travel to Marrakech via Todra Gorges, Dades Gorges, Ait Benhaddou Kasbah, and the cinema city of Ouarzazate.
We start the 4-day tour from Casablanca by picking you up from your accommodation or the airport. We then hit the road to Fes on the highway. Arriving at the spiritual and cultural capital of Morocco, we will meet our local guide and start exploring the city.
We will divide the city tour into two sections: one with the car and another walking through the old city with the guide.
First, we will take the car through the new city to visit the Royal Palace, the Mellah quarter, and the pottery cooperative. Here, you will see unique architecture, a panoramic view of the old city, and handcrafted pottery being made by local artisans using traditional techniques passed down for generations.
After that, we leave the car and start walking through the old city, known as the Medina. We will start from the Rcif park heading towards the University of al-Qarawiyyin, the oldest in the world. You will have time to explore the area and learn about its long history. Then, we will go deeper into the old city to discover many other attractions, including the Attarine and Bou Inania Madrassas, the Choura tanneries, and the Mausoleum of Idriss II.
Finally, we will take you to your accommodation to relax. Free evening on your own, you can try a Moroccan Hammam!
Today, we will drive towards the Sahara Desert, the highlight of our trip from Casablanca. First, we will begin our journey through the Middle Atlas Mountains. Our first stop is in Ifrane, the cleanest city in Africa and often referred to as the little Switzerland of Morocco. Next, we visit the Cedar Forest home to one of the best ski resorts in Morocco. We will make another stop here to see the Barbary monkeys.
We continue through green open fields of the Atlas mountains, home to Berber nomads who move with their animals through this land. After a lunch stop in Midelt, we drive across the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Talghemt Pass, reaching 1917 meters above sea level.
Around late afternoon, we will stop by the Ziz Valley, the largest source of dates in Morocco. From here, you can notice the climate change as we get closer to the desert.
Arriving in Merzouga, we will ride camels across the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi. Here, we will make a stop for sunset on a big dune before heading to your desert camp.
Finally, after having dinner, we will gather around the campfire and listen to desert drums. You will have free time for stargazing.
On the third day of the 4-Day Morocco tour from Casablanca, we recommend waking up early to enjoy sunrise over the dunes. After that, we will drive to Rissani, home to one of the oldest traditional markets in Morocco. If you arrive there on the market days, which are Sunday, Tuesday, or Thursday, the market gets busy with locals gathering from the desert and the surrounding areas.
After a walk around Rissani market, we will continue toward the Todra Gorges. We will travel through the Oases of Fezna and the Tinghir valley, where we will make some stops for panoramic views of the palm groves.
Finally, we drive to Boumalne Dades to visit the Monkey Toes Mountains and the curves of Tissdrine before reaching our hotel in the Dades Valley. We check in and relax for the next day adventure.
On the last day of the 4-day trip from Casablanca, we will travel to Marrakech. First, after having breakfast in Dades Gorges, we will hit the road to Ouarzazate, passing by the Rose valley and the Skoura Oases. This route is famous as the One Thousand Kasbah Road.
Arriving in Ouarzazate, we will take you to see Atlas studios, where they film movies and series. Here, you can have a guided tour around to discover famous places that were featured in popular movies like Game of Thrones, Gladiator, and Lawrence of Arabia.
Around the afternoon, we will drive to the Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou. This Berber fortress is one of the most popular attractions in Morocco and was also featured in famous movies and series. Enjoy a walk through the narrow mud walls of the Kasbah and hike up to the top.
After having lunch, we will cross the High Atlas mountains via the Tichka pass, the highest in North Africa. We will make sure to include a few stops to enjoy the mountain views.
