Upon arrival at Casablanca Airport, your driver will greet you and transfer you to your hotel in Casablanca. Depending on your arrival time, you may have the opportunity to tour the Hassan II Mosque, one of the largest mosques in the world.
After breakfast, we’ll depart for Chefchaouen, Morocco’s famous blue city. Along the way, we’ll stop in Rabat, the country’s capital, where you’ll have time to explore this beautiful coastal city and visit key sites such as the Kasbah of the Udayas, the Hassan Tower, and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V. We’ll continue to Chefchaouen, arriving in the late afternoon, where you can enjoy a tour of this charming town nestled in the mountains.
After saying goodbye to Chefchaouen, we’ll head towards Volubilis to explore its ancient Roman ruins, over 2,000 years old. Lunch will be in Meknes, one of Morocco's four imperial cities. Your driver will give you a tour of the city before continuing to Fes, Morocco’s cultural and spiritual capital.
Your day begins with a guided tour of Fes, considered one of the world’s largest walled cities. You’ll explore its narrow streets lined with fresh produce, piles of spices, intricately woven Berber carpets, and other Moroccan handicrafts. Highlights include visits to the Royal Palace, the tanneries, and the potters' quarters. Lunch will be at a traditional restaurant in the heart of the medina, followed by a continuation of your city tour. We’ll return to your hotel in the late afternoon.
Today we journey into Morocco’s desert, passing through the Middle Atlas Mountains. You’ll spend most of the day traveling through forests, rocky cliffs, and Berber villages as we cross the Atlas. We’ll stop for lunch in Midelt, a town famous for its fossils and rocks, before continuing to the Sahara Desert in Merzouga.
The day begins with a visit to Khamlia, a village on the edge of the dunes. Here, you’ll experience traditional Gnaoua music and dances. Later, we’ll visit a nomad family and share tea with them, learning about their unique way of life, customs, and traditions. Lunch will be at a local Berber restaurant. In the afternoon, you can relax at your hotel or enjoy optional desert activities such as quad biking or dune buggies (available for booking directly at the camp).
After breakfast, we’ll travel towards the Dades Valley, stopping in Rissani, known for its traditional market—the largest in the region. From there, we’ll continue our journey, passing through Berber villages and visiting the dramatic Todra Gorges, with towering walls over 600 feet high. After lunch, we’ll proceed to the picturesque Dades Valley.
We’ll drive towards Marrakech, stopping en route at Ait Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Morocco’s most iconic kasbahs, used as a backdrop in films such as Lawrence of Arabia, Jesus of Nazareth, and Gladiator, as well as the series Game of Thrones. After visiting this famous site, we’ll cross the High Atlas Mountains and arrive in Marrakech, where you’ll check into your riad. In the evening, you can explore the famous Jemaa el-Fnaa square in the heart of Marrakech’s medina.
We’ll start early to explore Marrakech, often called the “Red City” of Morocco. Your tour will cover important historical and cultural sites, including the Majorelle Garden, Koutoubia Tower, Saadian Tombs, Bahia Palace, and Ben Youssef Madrasa. After lunch at a restaurant near the square, you’ll explore the souks, filled with local crafts. In the afternoon, enjoy some free time to explore the city at your own pace.
Your 10-day Moroccan journey concludes with a transfer to the airport in time for your return flight.
Typically, a duration of 7 to 15 days is suitable for exploring Morocco at a moderate pace, whether you want to admire the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, marvel at the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Kasbah des Oudaias, in the capital Rabat, immerse yourself in the imperial cities and medieval medina of Fez, ride a camel through the Sahara Desert or explore the Jemaa el-Fna market in Marrakech.
At Morocco by Mundo Marruecos, we organize private, customized Morocco tours for travelers from all around the world. We design each tour alongside you. The result is a highly personalized tour for your travel dates, preferences, and travel style. Our trips are flexible and are tailored to fit around the experiences you wish to have. We work hard to balance your time to include independent exploration with engaging guided visits where pertinent or necessary. So, you’ll get to explore on your own, if you wish, and will always have your driver or expert guide with you whenever needed.
We work a little differently than most other operators in Morocco. After years in the field, we have found a balance between drivers and guides that we think works well. Essentially, your driver is more than a driver, he is your tour host and confidant. We consider our drivers to be some of the best in the entire country. Many of them have degrees in Spanish and will be with you to keep you safe on the roads, answer cultural questions you may have, and simply act as a key to the local culture and regions you will visit.
You can use credit and debit cards in tourist areas of Morocco. Visa and MasterCard are the most accepted. But it is suggested to withdraw some cash for daily purchases such as meals, drinks, and small souvenirs.
Well, it depends. Most foreign nationals entering Morocco do not need a visa. If you are an American, Canadian, Australian/New Zealand, or European passport holder, you will not need a visa. Malaysians, Singaporeans, and some passport holders from Hong Kong do not either. If you are from another country, you may very well need a visa.
