TRIP DESCRIPTION
This 7-day private tour from Casablanca is the perfect introduction to Morocco — a carefully balanced journey through coastal cities, mountain villages, ancient medinas, and the silent expanse of the Sahara, ending in the legendary Red City of Marrakech.
The adventure begins in Casablanca with a visit to the magnificent Hassan II Mosque before heading north to Chefchaouen, the famous blue-painted city tucked into the Rif Mountains. From there, the route turns east toward the Roman ruins of Volubilis and into the ancient imperial city of Fes — Morocco’s spiritual and intellectual capital, where a full guided day reveals just a fraction of its medieval depth.
The journey south takes you across the Middle Atlas Mountains, through the cedar forests of Azrou and the dramatic Ziz Valley, before arriving at the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi. A camel trek at sunset, a night in a luxury desert camp, and Berber music around the fire mark the emotional peak of the trip. The return leg threads through the towering Todra Gorges, the Dades Valley, the Valley of Roses, and the UNESCO-listed Aït Benhaddou Kasbah before a final mountain crossing into Marrakech. A morning guided tour of the Red City precedes the return transfer to Casablanca.
