The 7-day Morocco tour from Casablanca is our most comprehensive single-week itinerary, designed for travelers who want to experience the full diversity of Morocco in one unforgettable journey.
Starting from Casablanca, this private tour takes you north to the famous blue city of Chefchaouen, east to the ancient medina of Fes, south through the Middle Atlas to the golden Sahara dunes of Merzouga, west through dramatic gorges and valleys, and finally to the vibrant Red City of Marrakech.
Every day brings a completely different landscape and cultural experience.

Led by a local Berber guide who knows every road, riad, and hidden viewpoint, this 7-day Morocco tour from Casablanca delivers the complete Moroccan experience.
Your 7 day Morocco tour from Casablanca begins with a morning pick-up from your hotel. Before departing the city, visit the Hassan II Mosque — a masterwork of Moroccan architecture with its 210-meter minaret, retractable roof, and glass floor revealing the Atlantic waves below.
Drive north through the fertile plains of the Gharb region, passing through Kenitra and the cork oak forests of the Rif foothills. Arrive in Chefchaouen in the late afternoon, with time to take your first stroll through its world-famous blue medina as the light turns golden.
Overnight: Chefchaouen — riad in the medina (dinner and breakfast included)
Enjoy a leisurely morning in Chefchaouen. Walk to the Ras el-Maa waterfall, browse the local handicraft shops, and photograph the blue alleyways in the soft morning light. Optionally hike to the Spanish Mosque for panoramic views.
After lunch, depart for Fes, driving through the rolling hills and farmland of northern Morocco. Arrive in Fes in the late afternoon and settle into your riad in the heart of the medina.
Overnight: Fes — traditional riad (dinner and breakfast included)
Dedicate a full day to exploring Fes el-Bali, the oldest part of Fes and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With over 9,000 narrow alleyways, it is the world’s largest car-free urban area.
Visit the Bou Inania Madrasa with its breathtaking geometric tilework, the Al-Attarine Madrasa, and the iconic Chouara Tanneries — where leather has been dyed using natural pigments since the 11th century. Walk through the coppersmiths’ quarter, the weavers’ souk, and the spice market.
Optionally, enjoy a traditional Moroccan cooking class in a local home, or visit the Nejjarine Museum of Wooden Arts.

Depart Fes and drive south through the Middle Atlas Mountains. Stop in Ifrane, the “Switzerland of Morocco,” and continue to the Azrou cedar forest to see wild Barbary macaques among ancient Atlas cedars.
Pass through Midelt and enter the Ziz Valley, descending through a stunning palm-lined canyon into the Drâa-Tafilalet region. Arrive in Merzouga at the foot of the Erg Chebbi dunes.
In the late afternoon, mount your camel for the trek across the golden dunes. Watch the sunset paint the Sahara in shades of orange and gold. Arrive at your desert camp for a traditional Berber dinner, music around the campfire, and a night under a sky ablaze with stars.
Overnight: Erg Chebbi — Sahara desert camp (dinner and breakfast included)
Wake before dawn for a breathtaking sunrise over the Erg Chebbi dunes. After breakfast at camp, camel back to Merzouga.

After breakfast, drive through the Rose Valley (Kalaat M’Gouna) and the palm oasis of Skoura. Pass through Ouarzazate, the “Hollywood of Morocco.”
