Upon your arrival in Casablanca, Morocco’s economic capital, your private driver will welcome you at the airport and accompany you to your accommodation. Depending on your arrival time, you can enjoy a tour of the Hassan II Mosque, one of the most elaborately designed mosques in North Africa.
After breakfast, we will head to Fez. On the way, we will stop in Rabat, the capital city and residence of the King, where you will have time to enjoy this beautiful coastal city. You will visit the Oudayas Kasbah, Hassan Tower, and Mohamed V Mausoleum. Afterward, we will head to Meknes, where your driver will give a brief tour to visit important attractions like Bab Mansour, the Karra Prison, Lahdim Square, and the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail. In the evening, we will arrive in Fes, the spiritual capital of Morocco.
In the morning, you will start your guided tour of the medina. Fez is considered one of the largest walled cities in the world. You will explore its narrow streets lined with fresh fruit, heaps of spices, intricately woven Berber carpets, and many other Moroccan handicrafts. A visit to the Royal Palace, the tanneries, and the potters is included. For lunch, you will dine in a traditional restaurant in the heart of the medina. Afterward, you will complete your tour and return to your accommodation for the evening.
On this day, we will start ascending through the Middle Atlas Mountains. You will spend most of the day enjoying the beautiful forests, rugged cliffs, and Berber villages. Afterward, we will begin our descent toward the Sahara Desert. We will stop for lunch in the town of Midelt, famous for its rocks and fossils. Upon arrival in Merzouga, you will take a 30-minute camel ride to the dunes to witness the breathtaking sunset. When you return, you will spend the night in a Berber tent under the stars.
As soon as the sun rises, we will make sure to wake you to witness the ethereal beauty of the sunrise in the Sahara. Afterward, we will pack our bags and head through the towns of Rissani, Tinghir, and the amazing Todra Canyon, one of the highest and narrowest gorges in Africa. You will have free time to explore and discover it.
This morning, we will set off towards Marrakech. On the way, we will visit one of Morocco’s gems, the Ait Benhaddou Kasbah. This setting has been used for filming more movies than any other location in Morocco, including “Lawrence of Arabia,” “Jesus of Nazareth,” and “Gladiator.” After visiting this famous kasbah, we will complete our journey through the High Atlas Mountains. Once in Marrakech, we will drop you off at your accommodation for some relaxation or, if you prefer, a stroll in the Jemaa el-Fna square, one of Marrakech’s main attractions.
You will begin your guided tour of Marrakech, also known as the “Red City of Morocco.” We will ensure you see the most important historical and cultural sites, including the Majorelle Garden, the Koutoubia Tower, the Saadian Tombs, the Bahia Palace, and the Ben Youssef Madrasa. After lunch in a restaurant near the square, you will walk through the souks, seeing hundreds of handicrafts. In the afternoon, you will have free time to explore the city at your own pace, shop, or relax.
Your 8-day journey through Morocco ends. Your driver will ensure that you arrive at the airport on time to catch your flight home.
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.
