10-Day Morocco Tour from Casablanca

Your 10-day Morocco tour begins in Casablanca.

Depending on your arrival time, you will be met in the city or at Casablanca airport and transferred to your accommodation.

The first day is kept relaxed so you can settle in after your journey and prepare for the days ahead.

If time allows, you can discover part of Casablanca and enjoy your first introduction to Morocco. The city has a modern atmosphere and a strong connection to the Atlantic coast, making it a different starting point from the historic medinas you will visit later in the tour.

Spend your first night in Casablanca.

After breakfast, leave Casablanca and travel north toward Rabat.

Rabat is Morocco's capital and one of its historic imperial cities. Take time to discover some of the city's important areas and enjoy its calmer atmosphere before continuing inland.

The journey then continues toward Meknes, another historic city with traditional architecture and a long connection to Morocco's imperial history.

After your visit, continue toward Fes.

Arrive in Fes later in the day and check into your accommodation. You will spend two nights here, giving you enough time to explore the city properly on the following day.

Today is dedicated to Fes, one of Morocco's most historic and culturally important cities.

Explore the old medina, where narrow streets lead between traditional markets, workshops, neighborhoods and historic buildings.

Fes is especially known for its traditional crafts and architecture. Spending a full day here gives you time to experience the city without having to continue driving toward another destination.

Depending on your interests, you can visit viewpoints, traditional craft areas and historic sites while discovering everyday life inside the medina.

The day can be enjoyed at a comfortable pace, with time for breaks and personal exploration.

Return to your accommodation in the evening for a second night in Fes.

After breakfast, leave Fes and begin the journey toward the Sahara Desert.

Travel through Ifrane and continue across the Middle Atlas Mountains. The scenery here is very different from the desert, with mountain roads, forests and cooler landscapes.

Continue toward Midelt, where a break can be made before traveling farther south.

As the journey continues, the landscape becomes drier and more open. Pass through the Ziz Valley, where long stretches of palm trees create a striking contrast with the surrounding mountains and rocky scenery.

Later in the day, continue toward Merzouga beside the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi.

Unlike shorter Morocco tours, this 10-day itinerary gives you time to arrive in Merzouga and relax instead of beginning the camel trek immediately after the long drive from Fes.

Spend the night in the Merzouga area and prepare for a full desert experience the following day.

Today is dedicated to discovering the Merzouga desert area at a relaxed pace.

After breakfast, explore the landscapes surrounding the Erg Chebbi dunes and experience more of life near the Sahara.

Depending on the day's arrangements, there can be time to visit local communities, make stops around the dunes and enjoy the open desert scenery before returning to Merzouga.

Later in the afternoon, prepare for one of the main experiences of your journey: a camel trek into the Sahara.

Ride across the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi as the sun moves lower over the desert. Stop along the way to enjoy the scenery and watch the sunset.

Continue toward your Sahara camp after sunset.

Enjoy dinner and spend the night surrounded by the peaceful desert landscape and open sky.

This is one of the most memorable experiences during your 10 days in Morocco.

Start the morning in the peaceful surroundings of the Sahara.

If you wish, wake up early to watch the sunrise over the Erg Chebbi dunes before breakfast.

Leave Merzouga and begin traveling west through southeastern Morocco.

Pass through the Rissani area before continuing toward Tinghir and Todra Gorges.

At Todra Gorges, take time to walk between the impressive canyon walls and enjoy the dramatic natural scenery. The high rock cliffs provide a complete change from the open dunes of Merzouga.

After your visit, continue toward the Dades Valley.

The route passes through changing landscapes, traditional towns, palm-filled areas and mountain scenery before reaching the Dades region.

Arrive later in the day for dinner and an overnight stay.

After breakfast, leave the Dades Valley and continue through the landscapes of southern Morocco.

Travel toward Ouarzazate as the road passes dry mountain scenery, traditional communities and wide valleys.

Continue to Ait Ben Haddou, one of the best-known fortified villages in Morocco.

Take time to explore the village and see its traditional earthen architecture before beginning the journey toward the High Atlas Mountains.

Cross the mountains on the road to Marrakech. The route offers panoramic views, winding roads and small villages as the scenery changes once again.

Stops can be made along the way for rest, photos and meals depending on your schedule.

Arrive in Marrakech later in the day and settle into your accommodation.

Spend a full day discovering Marrakech.

Explore the historic medina, where traditional markets, old neighborhoods and lively streets create one of Morocco's most recognizable city experiences.

Take time to walk through the souks, discover historic architecture and enjoy the atmosphere of the city's public squares.

Because you are not traveling to another destination today, the sightseeing can be enjoyed at a comfortable pace.

Depending on your interests, you can also visit gardens, historic monuments or quieter areas outside the busiest streets of the medina.

After several days traveling through Morocco, this full day gives you time to enjoy Marrakech without rushing.

Spend a second night in Marrakech.

After breakfast, leave Marrakech and travel west toward Morocco's Atlantic coast.

Arrive in Essaouira, a relaxed coastal city with a very different atmosphere from Marrakech and the Sahara.

Spend time exploring the old medina, walking near the harbor and enjoying views of the Atlantic Ocean.

After several days of mountain roads, desert landscapes and historic cities, Essaouira offers a slower final stage of your Morocco journey.

The afternoon and evening can be enjoyed at your own pace, with time to discover the medina, relax near the coast or simply enjoy the city's peaceful atmosphere.

Spend the night in Essaouira.

Enjoy your final morning on Morocco's Atlantic coast before beginning the journey back toward Casablanca.

Leave Essaouira and travel north along the Atlantic side of the country.

The final drive gives you another chance to see Morocco's coastal landscapes after experiencing historic cities, mountains and the Sahara during the previous days.

Stops can be made during the journey for rest, meals and photos depending on your schedule.

Arrive in Casablanca later in the day.

Your 10-day Morocco itinerary ends after a journey through Rabat, Meknes, Fes, the Middle Atlas Mountains, Merzouga, the Sahara Desert, southern Morocco, Marrakech and Essaouira.

Final drop-off can be arranged in Casablanca according to your onward travel plans.
