14-Day Morocco Tour from Casablanca

Your 14-day Morocco tour begins in Casablanca.

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

The first day is intentionally relaxed. After your journey to Morocco, you can settle in, rest and prepare for the route ahead.

If your arrival time allows, enjoy some free time and discover part of Casablanca. The city's modern atmosphere and Atlantic setting make it a very different introduction 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 the country's historic imperial cities. Compared with Casablanca, it has a calmer atmosphere and combines historic areas with wide streets and an Atlantic setting.

Spend time discovering the city at a comfortable pace.

Depending on your interests, you can explore historic neighborhoods and important landmarks while learning more about Rabat's place in Moroccan history.

Because today's drive is relatively manageable, there is no need to rush through the city before continuing to another destination.

Check into your accommodation and spend the night in Rabat.

After breakfast, continue your journey north toward Tangier.

The route takes you farther into northern Morocco, where the landscape and atmosphere begin to change.

Tangier is one of the country's best-known northern cities and has a long connection with the sea, international travelers and cultural exchange.

After arriving, enjoy time discovering parts of the city and its old neighborhoods.

Depending on your interests and schedule, you can walk through the medina, enjoy viewpoints and experience the coastal atmosphere.

Spend the night in Tangier.

Enjoy your morning in Tangier before traveling inland toward Chefchaouen.

As you leave the coast, the surroundings become more mountainous and the journey moves into a quieter part of northern Morocco.

Arrive in Chefchaouen, a small town in the Rif Mountains known for its blue-painted streets and relaxed medina.

Spend time walking through the old town at your own pace. Narrow streets connect small squares, local shops and traditional neighborhoods throughout the center.

The slower atmosphere makes Chefchaouen a comfortable change from the larger cities visited earlier in the journey.

Enjoy a free evening and spend the night in Chefchaouen.

Enjoy a final morning in Chefchaouen before continuing toward Fes.

Today's journey takes you away from the quieter mountain atmosphere of the Rif region and toward one of Morocco's most important historic cities.

The road passes through changing countryside before reaching Fes later in the day.

After arrival, check into your accommodation and enjoy a relaxed evening.

You will spend two nights in Fes, allowing you to discover the city properly instead of making only a short stop before traveling south.

Spend the night in Fes.

Today is dedicated to discovering 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 allows you to experience the city at a more comfortable pace.

Depending on your interests, the day can include viewpoints, historic areas and traditional craft districts while giving you time to observe everyday life inside the old city.

There is no long road journey today, so you can take breaks and explore according to your interests.

Return to your accommodation for a second night in Fes.

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

Travel through Ifrane before entering the Middle Atlas Mountains. This part of Morocco offers forest scenery, cooler temperatures and mountain roads that feel completely different from the desert landscapes ahead.

Continue toward Midelt, where time can be allowed for a break before traveling farther south.

As the route continues, the landscape gradually becomes drier.

Travel through the Ziz Valley, where long stretches of palm trees run between rocky mountains and dry scenery.

Continue toward Merzouga at the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes.

Because this 14-day Morocco itinerary allows more time, there is no need to begin the camel trek immediately after the long journey from Fes.

Enjoy your first views of the Sahara and spend the night at a hotel or riad in the Merzouga area.

Today is dedicated to experiencing the Merzouga desert area without rushing.

After breakfast, explore the landscapes surrounding the Erg Chebbi dunes and spend time discovering more of the Sahara environment.

Depending on the day's arrangements, there can be stops around the desert area and opportunities to experience local communities and different landscapes surrounding Merzouga.

Later in the afternoon, prepare for your camel ride into the Sahara.

Cross the golden Erg Chebbi dunes as the sun moves lower over the desert. Take time to enjoy the quiet scenery and watch the colors change around sunset.

Continue to your Sahara camp after the camel trek.

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

For many travelers spending two weeks in Morocco, this evening becomes one of the most memorable parts of the journey.

Start the morning in the quiet 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 high canyon walls and enjoy the dramatic natural landscape.

The rocky cliffs provide a strong contrast with the open dunes you experienced the previous day.

Continue toward the Dades Valley through changing mountain scenery, small towns and palm-filled areas.

Arrive in the Dades region 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 valleys, mountain scenery and traditional communities.

Continue to Ait Ben Haddou, one of Morocco's best-known fortified villages.

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

Cross the High Atlas Mountains along a scenic mountain road with wide views and small villages along the route.

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

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

Spend the night in Marrakech.

Today is dedicated to Marrakech.

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

Spend time walking through the markets and discovering historic architecture and public areas around the old city.

Marrakech has a very different atmosphere from Fes, Chefchaouen and the Sahara, adding another side of Morocco to your journey.

Depending on your interests, you can also visit gardens, monuments or quieter neighborhoods outside the busiest parts of the medina.

Because you are staying in Marrakech for a second night, the day can be enjoyed without rushing.

Return to your accommodation in the evening.

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

The journey gradually moves away from inland landscapes as you approach the ocean.

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

Spend time walking through the old medina, exploring the harbor area and enjoying views of the Atlantic.

After historic cities, mountain roads and the Sahara Desert, Essaouira offers a slower final stage of your journey.

The afternoon and evening can be enjoyed at your own pace.

Spend the night in Essaouira.

Enjoy a full day beside the Atlantic Ocean.

There is no need to pack your luggage or spend several hours driving today. Instead, explore Essaouira at your own pace.

Walk through more of the medina, spend time around the harbor or enjoy the coastal atmosphere.

After the longer travel stages of your Morocco journey, this day gives you time to slow down before returning to Casablanca.

Having two nights in Essaouira also makes this itinerary different from shorter Morocco tours where the coast is visited only briefly.

Enjoy your final evening by the Atlantic and spend a second night in Essaouira.

Enjoy your final morning in Essaouira before beginning the journey back toward Casablanca.

Leave the Atlantic coastal city and travel north.

The final journey gives you time to reflect on the different landscapes experienced during the previous two weeks, from northern Morocco and the Rif Mountains to the Sahara, High Atlas Mountains and Atlantic coast.

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

Arrive in Casablanca later in the day.

Your Morocco itinerary of 14 days ends after traveling through Rabat, Tangier, Chefchaouen, 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.
