12 Days Tour from Tangier

Our driver-guide picks you up at the port or airport today, then takes you to your hotel. The rest of the day is yours to enjoy at your own pace.

After breakfast, we leave for Tetouan, with a few stops in the Jbala region along the way — enjoy the clean air and the scent of the breeze over the hills.

When we reach Chefchaouen, we explore the medina at the heart of the town, famous for its market square and its renowned plaza. You stay at an authentic local hotel.

Today, on the way to Fes, we visit the ancient Roman site of Volubilis. Then we stop in Meknes, another imperial city full of important historical sites.

After seeing the most picturesque corners of Meknes, we continue to Fes, where we spend the night.

After breakfast, a knowledgeable local guide leads you on a walk through the medina — the ancient heart of Fes, one of the oldest and biggest cities of the medieval world.

You wander little alleyways filled with the smell of spices, vibrant carpets, and every kind of Moroccan craft.

The Royal Palace, the tanneries, and the potters and artisans who line the streets are all worth your time. After lunch at a traditional restaurant in the medina, we finish the tour and return to your accommodation.

We eat breakfast early today, because our route to Merzouga crosses the Middle Atlas Mountains. On the way, you pass stunning forests, vast grasslands, and Berber villages perched on the mountain slopes.

We stop for lunch in Midelt, Morocco’s apple capital, then continue along winding roads with a bird’s-eye view over the wide Ziz Valley, passing palm gardens and kasbahs. Beyond the lively city of Errachidia, we reach the charming village of Merzouga — the gem of this part of the Sahara.

In the evening, you ride your camel over the desert to watch a breathtaking sunset. We spend the night at the bivouac camp and share a delicious meal.

After breakfast, we travel through Merzouga’s two oasis districts to reach the dunes, passing Khamlia village and the fields of the Berber nomads who live on the desert plateau.

Then you ride a camel to the dunes for a breathtaking sunset, and we spend the night in nomad tents in a beautiful natural oasis.

We watch the sun rise over the desert, then head back to the hotel. After a shower and breakfast, we visit the famous Rissani souk — a great place to shop like a local.

From there, we drive through Alnif and into the Todra Gorge, following the streams that run through the canyons. We continue to the Dades Gorges, where we spend the night in a local riad.

Today we drive towards the High Atlas Mountains via Ouarzazate and visit Kasbah Ait Benhaddou, one of Morocco’s favourite film locations.

Filmmakers have flocked here for decades — Gladiator, Jesus of Nazareth, and Lawrence of Arabia were all shot in this landscape.

After lunch at the kasbah, we cross the Tizi n’Tichka pass through the Atlas Mountains and continue to Marrakech, where you spend the night in a riad.

After breakfast, your journey continues to Essaouira, a coastal city and one of Morocco’s most historically important destinations.

Wander its ancient alleys, castles, museums, and bronze cannons. In the afternoon, we return to Marrakech and spend the night in a riad.

Today you spend the day in Marrakech — the “magnet of travelers” and Morocco’s main tourist destination.

Your itinerary covers the medina and its souks, the famous Jemaa el Fna square, the Saadian Tombs, the Menara gardens, and the El Bahia and El Badi palaces. You stay overnight at a hotel in Marrakech.

Today we head north, passing through Casablanca — where we stop at the Hassan II Mosque — and on to Rabat, the Moroccan capital. You stay the night at a hotel.

After breakfast, we head to Tangier for the last leg of your trip. We see some of the local sights, then drop you off at the ferry station or airport.
