Program Itinerary of the 4 Days Tour from Casablanca to Marrakech
Casablanca » Rabat » Fes [294 Km]
We begin with a city tour of Casablanca, Morocco’s economic capital, and visit the Hassan II Great Mosque, one of the most significant Islamic monuments. After a walk along the corniche, we see more of the city’s sights as time allows.
Our next destination is Rabat, the administrative capital, where the grandeur of the Mohammed V Mausoleum and the Hassan Tower — two magnificent monuments to the city’s rich history — will leave you awestruck.
Late in the afternoon, we leave for Fes, passing through Meknes to visit Bab Mansour, built by Moulay Ismail at the end of the 17th century and known as “the Moroccan Versailles”. Then we continue to Fes and check you into your hotel.
Fes » Azrou » Midelt » Ziz Valley » Merzouga Sahara Desert [469 km]
We pick you up from your hotel and drive to Ifrane, the town built in Moroccan-Swiss style. Then we continue to Azrou to visit the largest cedar forest in the Middle Atlas Mountains, where you can watch the Barbary apes.
After lunch in Midelt, we travel towards Merzouga, stopping at a panoramic viewpoint over the Ziz Valley. We arrive in Merzouga in the late afternoon and begin the camel trek into the Erg Chebbi dunes.
Dinner is served at our fully equipped desert camp, with delicious food and Berber music under the night sky.
Merzouga Sahara Desert » Ziz Valley » Todra Gorges & Dades Valley [255 km]
We recommend getting up early today to watch the sunrise. After those beautiful moments, enjoy breakfast and a refreshing shower at the comfortable camp. We then drive to Tinghir and the Todra Gorges, the highest and narrowest in Morocco.
After lunch, we drive to the Dades Valley, where you can see magnificent kasbahs and rock formations. Dinner and your overnight stay are at the hotel.
Dades Valley » Ouarzazate » Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah » Marrakech [325 km]

After the kasbah, a breathtaking drive carries you through the High Atlas Mountains and over the Tizi n’Tichka pass (2,260 m). You arrive in Marrakech late in the afternoon, and we drop you at your hotel.

Reviews about our 4 Days Tour Casablanca to Marrakech
100% Suggested My flights were scheduled two days in advance, and I appreciate that Mohamed got back to me and tailored a schedule that included everything I wanted to see and do in Morocco! Morocco has captured my heart, and I will return for further tours! Mohamed became my part-time photographer in addition to being an excellent driver! His service had a significant positive impact on my experience. What occurs when you travel alone. I only have wonderful things to say and have made some really special memories. Gratitude for everything, Morocco Day Tour.
