6-Day Morocco Tour from Casablanca to Marrakech

On the second day, you will spend the morning in Chefchaouen. The best part of visiting it is just walking through the narrow streets, enjoying the colors, and taking nice photos.

You can not only visit the main square (Outa El Hamam), where people relax and drink tea, but also see the Kasbah, a small old fortress with a garden and a view.

Around 4:00 pm, we will leave Chefchaouen and drive to Fes. You will arrive in the evening and check into your riad.

Today, you will discover the city of Fes with a local guide who will take you to its most important and historic places. To start with, our driver and guide will take you to the Royal Palace, where you will admire the large golden gates and the fine details of the architecture. After that, you will walk through the old Jewish quarter, known as the Mellah, and learn about its history.

Then, you will enter the old medina of Fes through the famous Bab Boujloud gate, also called the Blue Gate. Inside the medina, you will visit Al Karaouine University, the oldest university in the world that still operates today. Next, you will visit Al Attarine Madrasa, a beautiful Islamic school with carved walls.

You will also go to the Chouara Tannery, where leather is still made in the traditional way, using stone pits and natural dyes. Later, you will visit pottery and ceramic workshops to see how local artisans shape and paint their work by hand.

After the tour, we will take you back to your riad. The rest of the evening is free for you to relax or explore the medina on your own.

Today, we will leave Fes and drive to the Merzouga Desert. Along the way, you will enjoy beautiful views of the Middle Atlas Mountains and Berber villages.

Our first stop will be in Ifrane, a clean town known as the “Switzerland of Morocco.” Here, you can see the Atlas Lion statue, a large stone sculpture in the middle of a park.

Next, we will stop at the cedar forest near Azrou, where you can see Barbary monkeys and take photos with them.

We will continue through the mountains and stop in Midelt for lunch. After that, we will pass through the Ziz Valley, filled with palm trees and small villages, a perfect place to enjoy the view and take some pictures.

In the afternoon, we will arrive in Merzouga. You will check in at the desert camp, where you can rest for a short time and have a glass of tea. Later, you will go on a camel ride for about 40 minutes through the sand dunes. After the ride, we will stop near the camp to watch the sunset over the golden dunes.

In the evening, you will enjoy dinner and Berber music around the fire. You will spend the night in a comfortable tent in the desert.

After watching the sunrise over the dunes, you will have breakfast at the camp. Then, we will leave the desert and head to Dades.

Our first stop will be in Rissani, a small town known for its traditional market and for being the starting place of the Alaouite dynasty, the current royal family of Morocco. You can walk around the old market and see local products like spices, dates, and handmade goods.

In the afternoon, you will arrive in Boumalne Dades, where you will spend the night.

After breakfast in Dades, we will drive to Marrakech, following the road called the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs.

Then, we will visit Skoura, where you will see the Amridil Kasbah, a large old mud-brick house that shows how Berber families lived in the past.

Next, we will go to Ouarzazate, also called the Hollywood of Africa, because many movies were filmed there. You will visit the Oscar Atlas Studio, where you will see movie sets and decorations.

After that, we will stop at Ait Benhaddou, a famous old Kasbah made of clay and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which was once a stop for traders. You will have time to walk through the small streets and climb to the top for a panoramic view.
