10-day Morocco holiday itinerary from Tangier

Day 1: Tangier — Chefchaouen — via the Rif Mountains

Your 10-Day Tour from Tangier starts when our friendly driver picks you up. We begin by driving through the green Riff Mountains, breathing in the clean, fresh air. These Tangier trips are organized by the Moroccan team to ensure you enjoy breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea.

After some driving, you will reach one of your favorite cities, which is literally painted blue. In Chefchaouen, you can stroll through narrow blue lanes and take many beautiful pictures for your album. This way, you begin your tours in Tangier in a natural, positive atmosphere that helps calm everyone.

Day 2: Chefchaouen — Volubilis — Meknes —  Fes

Today, we leave the blue city behind to visit the ancient Roman city of Volubilis, where you can see stone carvings and tall pillars. As this is one of the best private trips in Morocco, you will learn about the history as you walk through these ruins.

Later, we have a stop in Meknes to visit the giant gates before we arrive in the grand city of Fes. Consequently, you can experience how the landscape changes from green hills to ancient imperial cities. Since our Morocco custom tours let you stop whenever you see something beautiful, the trip remains very flexible and fun.

Day 3: Fes — Medina Guided Tour — via the Tanneries

Today is a busy day as you explore the old medina, a huge maze of colorful shops. On these Tangier tours, you will be astonished by what you see, including artisans at work on plates and rugs up close.

We also visit the historic university and the souks, where leather is dyed in a rainbow of hues. Fez is so ancient that it seems as though you have traveled backward hundreds of years in time. Furthermore, this luxury trip to Morocco guarantees you a private guide who will reveal hidden secrets proficiently.

Day 4: Fes — Ifrane — Azrou — Merzouga Desert

After breakfast, we continue our 10-day tour from Tangier, heading south toward the Sahara. We visit Ifrane, often called the Switzerland of Morocco, for its clean streets and alpine-style roofs. Next, you will see Barbary monkeys in the cedar forest of Azrou during our Morocco desert trips.

Eventually, we arrive at the edge of the Sahara Desert, where high, orange sand dunes start to appear. We want your first night near the dunes to be enjoyable, so we handle all the details for you. Most people consider this Moroccan desert trip the highlight of their entire vacation.

Day 5: Merzouga — Camel Trek — via the Desert Camp

This is the most thrilling day of the 10-day Morocco holiday as we head into the sand dunes. We start by visiting a local village to listen to traditional music and learn about the desert people. These Moroccan desert tours are unique because you learn about the lifestyle of real nomads.

Next, you board a docile camel and ride into the sunset across the tall dunes. This experience concludes with a tasty dinner and music around a campfire beneath the stars. You will sleep in a cozy tent, which is like a hotel room in the sand.

Day 6: Merzouga — Todra Gorges — Dades Valley

Wake up early to watch the sunrise over the dunes before we head away from the sand toward the Todra Gorges. Here, the rock walls stand as tall as giants. Our desert trips in Morocco team will show you just how strong and beautiful nature can be in this region.

We follow the path toward the Dades Valley, where the rocks look like fingers, and the gardens are lush and green. As a result, the air cools as we distance ourselves from the hot desert sun. Many travellers consider these Moroccan desert trips the best experiences of their journey through our country.

Day 7: Dades Valley — Ait Benhaddou — Marrakech

Today, we move from the mountains to the Red City. Our first stop is the fabled Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou, where film crews for Gladiator and Game of Thrones stayed to shoot. This desert tour in Morocco takes you back in time and through film history.

Then, we cross the Tizi n’Tichka pass to reach Marrakech, a lively and colorful city. Expect beautiful views of the valleys below as we drive smoothly through the winding mountain roads. We keep the long drive comfortable with plenty of tea and photo stops along the way.

Day 8: Marrakech—Guided Tour via the Majorelle Gardens

Today, we venture into the heart of the Red City. Our first stop is the Bahia Palace, where we admire shiny tiles and intricate wooden ceilings. If you want to experience more nature later, you’ll love the Atlas Mountains day trip options from Marrakech.

In the late afternoon, we find solitude in the Majorelle Gardens. They are filled with jungle plants and cobalt blue buildings. Marrakech is a busy city. You will love the contrast between the quiet gardens and the hustle of the market. This is a perfect example of why people choose us for high-end travel.

Day 9: Marrakech — Imlil Valley — via the Atlas Mountains

On your ninth day, we return to nature with an Atlas Mountains tour. You will see the beautiful village of Imlil at the base of the highest peaks. Here, you can stroll through an apple tree. You can visit local Berber families in their homes.
