Tour Overview
Discover several different sides of Morocco on this private Casablanca desert tour that travels from the Atlantic coast to the Sahara before finishing in Marrakech.
Your four-day journey begins in Casablanca and travels north to Rabat before continuing through Meknes to Fes. This first part of the trip introduces you to some of Morocco's most important cities before the landscape changes on the road toward the desert.
From Fes, travel south through Ifrane and the Middle Atlas Mountains. Continue through Midelt and the Ziz Valley as green mountain scenery gradually gives way to the dry landscapes of southeastern Morocco.
The highlight of the journey is Merzouga, located beside the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi. Here, you can ride a camel across the Sahara, watch the sunset over the dunes and spend the night at a desert camp.
The journey then turns west toward Todra Gorges and the Dades Valley before continuing through Ouarzazate and Ait Ben Haddou. On the final day, cross the High Atlas Mountains and arrive in Marrakech.
This Casablanca to Marrakech desert tour is designed for travelers who want more than a direct transfer between Morocco's main cities. In four days, you experience imperial cities, mountain roads, valleys, traditional villages and the Sahara Desert in one private journey.
Day by Day
Open each day to discover the route, stops and experiences planned during your private journey.
Day 1
Your 4-day Casablanca to Marrakech desert tour begins with pickup in Casablanca.
Leave the city and travel north toward Rabat, Morocco's capital. Take time to discover some of the city's main historic areas and enjoy its quieter atmosphere before continuing your journey inland.
From Rabat, travel toward Meknes. This historic imperial city offers a different atmosphere from Casablanca and gives you another look at Morocco's history and traditional architecture.
After your stop in Meknes, continue toward Fes.
Arrive in Fes later in the day and settle into your accommodation. Fes is one of Morocco's oldest and most important cultural cities and marks the final urban stop before your journey south toward the Sahara.
Spend the first night of the tour in Fes.
Day Highlights
Day 2
After breakfast, leave Fes and begin the long but scenic journey toward the Sahara Desert.
Travel through Ifrane and continue into the Middle Atlas Mountains. This part of Morocco is very different from the dry landscapes that you will see later in the day, with mountain roads, forests and cooler scenery.
Continue south through the Midelt area, where there will be time for a break before traveling toward the Ziz Valley.
As the journey continues, the landscape becomes drier and more open. Enjoy views across the Ziz Valley before traveling farther south toward Merzouga.
In the late afternoon, arrive near the Erg Chebbi dunes. Merzouga is one of the main destinations for travelers taking a desert tour from Casablanca.
Prepare for a camel ride across the golden Sahara dunes. Enjoy the quiet desert landscape and watch the sunset as you travel toward your camp.
After sunset, arrive at the desert camp for dinner and spend the night surrounded by the dunes.
Day Highlights
Day 3
Start the morning in the peaceful surroundings of the Sahara Desert.
If you wish, wake up early to watch the sunrise over the Erg Chebbi dunes before enjoying breakfast at the camp.
Leave Merzouga and continue your Casablanca to Merzouga tour route west through southeastern Morocco.
Travel through the Rissani area before continuing toward Tinghir and Todra Gorges.
At Todra Gorges, take time to walk between the impressive canyon walls. The high cliffs and rocky landscape offer a complete change from the open dunes of Merzouga.
After your visit, continue toward the Dades Valley. The road passes through small towns, palm-filled areas and dramatic mountain landscapes.
Arrive in the Dades area later in the day, where you will have dinner and spend your third night.
Day Highlights
Day 4
After breakfast, leave the Dades Valley and begin the final part of your Morocco desert tour from Casablanca.
Travel through the landscapes of southern Morocco toward Ouarzazate. The route passes valleys, traditional villages and dry mountain scenery before reaching one of the best-known areas of southern Morocco.
Continue to Ait Ben Haddou, a historic fortified village built with traditional earthen architecture. Take time to explore the area before beginning the journey across the High Atlas Mountains.
The mountain road offers wide views, small villages and a final change of scenery before reaching Marrakech.
Stops can be made along the way for photos, rest and meals depending on your schedule.
Arrive in Marrakech later in the day.
Your 4-day Casablanca desert tour ends in Marrakech after a journey through imperial cities, the Middle Atlas, the Sahara Desert, dramatic valleys and the High Atlas Mountains.
