11-day Morocco Tour From Casablanca

Day 1: Casablanca — Rabat — Chefchaouen

Our 11-Day Tour in Morocco starts in Casablanca, where we visit the beautiful Hassan II Mosque, overlooking the waves of the Atlantic Ocean. Then, our driver takes you to Rabat, the capital, to explore the Udayas Kasbah and Hassan Tower. This is a great starting point for many Morocco trips, as you will see royal history and modern life side by side.

The next destination is Chefchaouen, the “blue pearl”—a charming little town in the green Rif Mountains further north. Each lane looks like a beautiful painting, and you will love strolling through the bright blue alleys on your tour. We spend our first night here, putting you front and center in a town known for its calm vibe and vibrant colors.

Day 2: Free day in the blue city of Chefchaouen

The second day of your 11-Day Morocco Tour from Casablanca is devoted to the blue city. You can have a traditional breakfast with a view of the mountains and wake up late. This is one of the unique segments offered in our Morocco custom tours, allowing you to explore without hurried visits.

You might hike up to the Spanish Mosque or sit at a local café to watch the world go by. With the added time on this tour, you can really soak up that relaxed vibe in the Rif. This day is perfectly designed for finding beautiful spots and taking glorious photos in front of those famous blue doors.

Day 3: Chefchaouen — Volubilis — Fes

On day 3, we travel from the Roman ruins of Volubilis toward Fes. You will see millennia-old rock carvings and the lovely treasures left by past civilizations. This UNESCO World Heritage site exemplifies Morocco’s rich history before we arrive at the spiritual capital.

Next, we reach Fes, the oldest imperial city in the kingdom, for a check-in at your comfortable riad. This leg of your Morocco desert tour links you to the medieval soul of our ancient arts and crafts. As you prepare for your big-city tour, your journey continues with a perfect blend of history and comfort.

Day 4: Exploring the medina of Fes

Day 4 focuses on the world’s largest car-free urban area. Our local guide leads you into the narrow streets of the medina to discover old schools and colorful markets. This is a major highlight of all Moroccan desert trips, as the city feels like a living museum of the past.

You will visit the iconic tanneries where artisans still dye leather using centuries-old traditions. Additionally, you will visit the entrance gate of the Royal Palace and head up to enjoy the panoramic views from the hills. This full day in Fes allows you to truly taste the flavor of our history.

Day 5: Fes — Ifrane — Azrou — Midelt

Leaving for the Middle Atlas Mountains, we have a pause in Ifrane—the so-called “Little Switzerland”—to breathe the pure mountain air. Thus, during your Atlas Mountains tour, you can observe a very green and cool side of the kingdom.

You will also meet the wild monkeys in the Azrou Cedar Forest. Next, we drive across the high plains all the way to the town of Midelt for the night. This relaxing day sets you up for the adventure heading south toward the great Sahara.

Day 6: Midelt — Ziz Valley — Merzouga

On day 6, you will explore the Ziz Valley canyon. During your desert trips in Morocco, you will see millions of palm trees along a river tucked between tall, dry mountains. This is an amazing view because the green trees look like an island in a vast expanse of desert.

In the afternoon, you will arrive at the golden dunes of Merzouga, where your Sahara adventure begins. You will exchange the car for a camel and immerse yourself in the sand while the sun paints the dunes in golden colors. This is a night of mysticism, featuring a delicious supper and Berber music under the stars.

Day 7: Merzouga — Khamlia — Nomadic families

Day 7 involves a second night in the desert to unveil more mysteries. We visit the village of Khamlia, where local musicians who live in the dunes perform spiritual Gnawa music. This is one of the most loved parts of our Moroccan desert trips, offering a deep cultural experience far away from the hustle of city life.

We also visit a nomadic family and learn how they live with their livestock in the vast desert. You will have time to relax at the hotel or to easily explore the small dunes in the afternoon. This extra day is essential for feeling the genuine peace of the Sahara.

Day 8: Merzouga — Todra Gorges — Dades Valley

On your eighth day, it is worth waking up before sunrise. The morning light makes the sand look like shimmering rose gold, creating a memory you will carry forever. After riding back on our camels and having breakfast, we drove towards the towering rock walls.

Soon, we arrive at the Todra Gorges, with cliffs rising 300 meters above a fresh river. As part of your Atlas Mountains tour, this site is spectacular because the canyon is so dominating. Your overnight stop will take you through the Valley of Roses and into the Dades Valley.

Day 9: Dades Valley — Ait Ben Haddou — Marrakech

We begin our 9th day by traveling the ancient “road of a thousand kasbahs.” We visit the world-famous Ait Ben Haddou, a city built of mud brick and featured in many Hollywood movies. This UNESCO site is absolutely stunning and a highlight for many travelers in Morocco.

Then, our driver will take you through the High Atlas Mountains as we cross the Tizi n’Tichka Pass. Along the road, you will see picturesque Berber villages perched on the steep slopes. Finally, your day ends in the colorful city of Marrakech for the night.

Day 10: Sightseeing in Marrakech

Day 10 offers a deep dive into the “red city.” Our guide will accompany you to the Bahia Palace and Saadian Tombs, where we will bring the narrative of Morocco’s royal heritage to life. The architecture is intricate and beautiful, making this a must-stop for all Marrakech tours.

In the afternoon, you can either stroll through the Majorelle Garden or get lost in the souks hunting for local gifts. This full day provides plenty of time to experience the vibrant life at Jemaa el-Fnaa square. Explore Morocco Trips will show you the hidden corners of this famous destination.

Day 11: Marrakech — Casablanca | 11-day Morocco tour from Casablanca

On the last day of your journey, enjoy a lazy morning in Marrakech. Before we get on the road to make our way back along the coast, you can enjoy one final stroll through the markets. This is a nice way to end your Casablanca tour as you discuss the highlights and memorable moments of your trip.

Our team guarantees you arrive on time at either the airport or your hotel for departure. This marks the conclusion of your 11-day Morocco tour from Casablanca, but not the end of your affection for our beautiful country. See you soon for another amazing trip!
