Your grand tour begins upon arrival at Casablanca's Mohammed V Airport. We'll greet you and proceed to the magnificent Hassan II Mosque, a stunning masterpiece of Moroccan architecture that seems to float above the Atlantic waves. After the visit, we'll take a short, comfortable drive to Rabat, the nation's capital, where you'll check into your authentic riad for the night and rest for the adventure ahead.
After a delicious Moroccan breakfast, we explore Rabat's historic sites, including the picturesque Kasbah of the Udayas with its charming blue-and-white lanes, and the impressive Hassan Tower. Then, we drive up the scenic Atlantic coast to Asilah, a charming, white-washed town famous for its vibrant art festivals and murals. After a leisurely stroll through its peaceful medina, we continue north to the legendary port city of Tangier for the evening.
Today we explore Tangier, a city at the crossroads of Europe and Africa, which has inspired artists and writers for centuries. We'll visit Cap Spartel, the stunning viewpoint where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea, and the mythical Caves of Hercules. In the afternoon, we leave the coast and drive inland through the beautiful, rolling green hills of the Rif Mountains to reach the iconic blue city of Chefchaouen, nestled in a dramatic mountain setting.
Spend a delightful morning exploring the enchanting blue-washed streets of Chefchaouen's medina at your own pace. Later, we travel towards Fes, stopping to explore the impressive ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis, a UNESCO site with stunningly preserved mosaics. We'll then visit the grand imperial city of Meknes before arriving in the cultural and spiritual heart of Morocco, Fes, for a two-night stay.
Immerse yourself in a full-day guided tour of Fes, Morocco's oldest imperial city. With a local guide, you'll navigate the labyrinthine alleys of the world's largest living medieval medina, visit the famous open-air tanneries, admire the intricate architecture of historic madrasas like Bou Inania, and see the world's oldest university, Al-Karaouine. The sensory experience of the souks is a true highlight.
We leave the imperial city behind and journey south. Our scenic drive takes us through Ifrane, the "Switzerland of Morocco," and the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas, home to wild Barbary macaques. We'll travel through the vast Ziz Valley, a lush corridor of palm groves that cuts through the arid landscape, before the scenery transforms dramatically into the golden dunes of the Sahara at Merzouga.
A full day dedicated to the magic of the desert. We'll embark on a 4x4 adventure to visit the village of Khamlia to experience traditional Gnawa music, meet a local nomad family to share mint tea and learn about their way of life, and explore the desert's unique, fossil-rich landscapes. In the afternoon, you'll ride a camel into the heart of the dunes for a spectacular sunset and spend a magical night in a traditional Berber camp under a canopy of stars.
Wake to a breathtaking desert sunrise over the Erg Chebbi dunes. After breakfast, we travel west towards the mountains, stopping at the magnificent Todra Gorges for a memorable walk through its towering, 300-meter-high canyon. Our day concludes in the stunning Dades Valley, famous for its dramatic red rock formations and winding roads, where we'll spend the night.
Today we travel the famous "Road of a Thousand Kasbahs," passing through the fragrant Rose Valley and the film-making hub of Ouarzazate. The main highlight is exploring the iconic Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site and famous movie backdrop. Afterwards, we cross the majestic High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n'Tichka pass (2260m), arriving in the vibrant red city of Marrakech in the evening.
Discover the "Red City" with a full-day guided tour. Your local guide will lead you through the opulent Bahia Palace, the historic Saadian Tombs, the iconic Koutoubia Mosque, and the labyrinthine souks, each with its own specialty. The day culminates with the unforgettable energy and spectacle of the famous Djemaa el-Fna square as it comes alive at dusk.
Enjoy a full day of freedom in Marrakech. This is your chance to dive deeper into what you love. You can relax at your riad, revisit the souks for some serious shopping, indulge in a traditional hammam spa experience, take a Moroccan cooking class, or simply sip mint tea at a rooftop cafe overlooking the bustling city below.
Today we head to the coast for a change of pace. The drive to Essaouira takes us through a unique landscape dotted with Argan trees, where we may see the region's famous tree-climbing goats. We'll visit a women's Argan oil cooperative before arriving in the charming, windswept city of Essaouira for a relaxing overnight stay.
Savor a final morning in the relaxed atmosphere of Essaouira, perhaps with a walk along the beach or a visit to the bustling fishing port to see the iconic blue boats. In the afternoon, we'll take a scenic drive up the Atlantic coast, passing through coastal towns, before arriving back where our journey began, in Casablanca, for your final night.
After a final breakfast, and depending on your flight schedule, we will transfer you to Casablanca's Mohammed V Airport for your departure, marking the end of your complete and unforgettable grand tour of Morocco.
"This 14-day tour was the trip of a lifetime. The itinerary was perfectly balanced, covering everything from the northern coast to the deep desert. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to explore on our own. It's the only way to truly see all of Morocco!"
"We chose the two-week tour to really immerse ourselves, and it was the best decision. Visiting Tangier and Asilah was a unique highlight, so different from the south. The entire trip was seamless, comfortable, and absolutely unforgettable. Our guide, Omar, was a gem!"
"If you have the time, do this tour! It's impossible to pick a favorite part because every region was so unique and beautiful. The accommodations were fantastic, and having a private driver made everything so easy. We left feeling like we had truly experienced the country."
A 14-day tour allows for a much more comprehensive and relaxed exploration of Morocco. It enables you to visit the distinct northern region (Tangier, Asilah), enjoy multi-night stays in key cities for deeper immersion, and complete a full, logical loop of the country without feeling rushed. It's the best option for travelers who want to see it all.
The northern coast has a unique character with strong Mediterranean and European influences. Tangier is a bustling, historic port city with a mythical past, while Asilah is a smaller, charming seaside town known for its whitewashed walls, vibrant art scene, and relaxed atmosphere. They offer a wonderful contrast to the imperial cities and the desert.
Yes, one of the main benefits of this longer itinerary is the inclusion of more leisure time. You'll have free afternoons in many cities, plus a full day at leisure in Marrakech, allowing you to shop, relax, or explore personal interests at your own pace.
While Morocco is a large country, we ensure that all driving days are broken up with interesting stops. These include visits to smaller towns, panoramic viewpoints for photos, comfortable lunch breaks, and opportunities to stretch your legs. The journey is as much a part of the experience as the destinations themselves.
