7-Day Morocco Tour from Tangier

Day 1: Tangier — Chefchaouen — via the Rif Mountains

Welcome to the beginning of your 7-day desert tour from Tangier for one week. When you arrive at the airport or port, our team from Explore Morocco Trips will be waiting to start the adventure. First, we drive to the blue city of Chefchaouen, where many houses look like pieces of the sky. It is one of the most sought-after Tangier tours due to how bright and lovely the colors are for your pictures.

After visiting the blue alleys, we depart for Fes, the spiritual city. Because our primary expertise lies in Tangier trips, we know the top roads to show you the lush hills of the north. Furthermore, you are going to love seeing the farmers in the fields as we enter the central parts of the country. This is a very quiet and pleasant way to start your trips in Morocco with family or friends.

Day 2: Fes — Medina Guided Tour — via the Tanneries

On the second day of your 7-day desert tour from Tangier, one week, you will discover one of the oldest cities in the world. Walk with a local guide through the streets of the Fez medina, where you can experience the vibrant colors of the local market. You will visit the renowned tanneries where leather is manufactured and see fascinating fountains. With our Morocco Custom Tours, we ensure you see these highlights without getting lost in massive crowds.

In addition, you will glimpse the oldest university in existence and see how artisans make stunning pottery. It is a day rich in history and the scent of spices, which adds magic to your trip to Morocco. You will also enjoy a scrumptious, typical lunch at an intricately decorated traditional house. As a result, it is a simple, fun day of learning about another way of life.

Day 3: Fes — Ifrane — Azrou — Merzouga

Today we depart the city to visit the big sand dunes. We first take a break in Ifrane, which looks like a European snowy village due to its cleanliness. After that, we stop by the forest in Azrou to feed the friendly monkeys living in the cedar trees. These Morocco desert trips are perfect for nature seekers who want to experience the wild side of our home.

Then, as the sun goes down, we will reach the golden dunes of Merzouga. You will meet your camels and ride over the soft sand to your desert camp. This is definitely a highlight of our Morocco desert tours because you will sleep in a tent under the open stars. Finally, you will enjoy a hot dinner and listen to traditional music by a large campfire with your guides.

Day 4: Merzouga—Todra Gorges—Dades Valley

Wake up early to see the sun rising over the Sahara. After a yummy breakfast, we drive to the massive Todra Gorges, where the rock walls are very high and narrow. Most people find this a favorite part of the Morocco Desert Tour because the mountains look so powerful. You will have a wonderful opportunity to walk next to the river and breathe the fresh air in this beautiful canyon.

Afterward, we drive to the Dades Valley to see the “monkey fingers” rock formations. We provide comfortable places to stay so you can have a good night’s sleep after your desert trips in Morocco. You will see green gardens next to red rocks, which looks like a beautiful painting. This is why Moroccan desert trips are so popular for their spectacular and varied scenery.

Day 5: Dades Valley — Ait Benhaddou — Marrakech

Today we visit the famous Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou. This is an ancient village made of mud and straw where many famous movies were shot. Our guide will make you feel like movie stars as you walk through the ancient gates. It is one of the highlights that makes every desert tour in Morocco unique, thanks to its great history and the views from the summit.

Next, we travel across the high Tizi n’Tichka Pass in the mountains to reach the Red City. This section of the journey is truly an Atlas Mountains tour, as the road rises high into the clouds. Our service ensures the drive is as safe and smooth as possible so you can enjoy the view of the Berber villages. On our Morocco Custom Tours, we can stop for snapshots of the snow-peaked mountains and green valleys.

Day 6: Marrakech—Guided Tour via the Medina

During your full-day tour of Marrakech, you will explore the Koutoubia Mosque and the magnificent Bahia Palace. A local guide will escort you through the bustling souks filled with bright carpets and gleaming lamps. These Tangier tours allow you to discover both the calm north and the joyful vibrancy of the south.

Furthermore, you can explore the magic of Jemaa el-Fnaa Square in the evening with its storytellers and musicians. This is one of the most exciting parts of our tours as it finishes in such a lively and historical city. Enjoy fresh orange juice while watching the sunset from a rooftop cafe. It is a great way to wrap up the final nights of your cross-country journey.

Day 7: Marrakech—Airport Transfer via the Red City

This is the last day of your 7-day Morocco tour itinerary from Tangier. For those departing on late flights, there is an option for an Atlas Mountains day trip from Marrakech. We hope to make the most out of each second you are here with us. We arrange all the details so you can sit back and unwind prior to your homeward trip.

Finally, Explore Morocco Trips will take you to the airport for your flight back. We hope you enjoyed your tours from Tangier and your mountain-desert adventure.
