Why choose a private 7 days in Morocco itinerary?

Morocco is big, and the roads between the cities are long. A private 7 days tour from Casablanca to Marrakech with a local driver lets you cross the country without stress, buses or hotel changes in a hurry.

Seven days give you time to rest. You spend a full day in Fes with a guide, and you spend two nights near the dunes of Merzouga, so the desert is not just a quick stop.

On the way you visit places listed by UNESCO, such as the Medina of Fes and the Ksar of Ait-Ben-Haddou.

7 days tour from Casablanca itinerary:

Day 1: Casablanca → Rabat → Chefchaouen

Day 1 of the 7 days tour from Casablanca starts in the morning at your hotel, where your private driver picks you up with a warm welcome. You load your bags in the comfortable vehicle, and he explains the plan for the first day and answers all your questions before you leave the city.

Your first stop is the Hassan II Mosque, one of the largest mosques in the world, built right on the Atlantic Ocean. You can take photos of its tall minaret and its beautiful carved details, and you can visit the inside with a guide if you like.

Then you drive north along the coast to Rabat, the capital city of Morocco. You see the Kasbah of the Udayas with its blue and white streets, the Hassan Tower and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, and you have time for a relaxed walk.

After lunch, the road goes through green hills and small villages to Chefchaouen, the famous Blue City in the Rif Mountains. You arrive in the late afternoon, check in to your hotel or riad, and walk in the blue streets at sunset.

Driving distance: about 340 km
Driving time: about 6 hours, with stops
Overnight: hotel or riad in Chefchaouen

Day 2: Chefchaouen → Meknes → Fes

After a good Moroccan breakfast, you have free time to walk again in the quiet blue streets of Chefchaouen. The morning light is soft and the alleys are calm, so it is the best moment to take photos of the painted walls, the doors and the small shops.

Then you leave the mountains and drive south to Meknes, one of the four imperial cities of Morocco. You see the old city walls and the famous Bab Mansour gate, and you can stop for a short visit and a coffee in the old town.

You continue the journey through green farmland and olive trees to Fes, the cultural and spiritual heart of Morocco. You arrive in the afternoon, and your driver takes you to your traditional riad or hotel near the old medina.

In the evening you can rest, enjoy a nice dinner and listen to the plan for tomorrow. You go to sleep early, ready for a full day of discovery in the old medina of Fes with your local guide.

Driving distance: about 270 km
Driving time: about 4.5 hours, with stops
Overnight: riad or hotel in Fes

Day 3: Fes Guided Tour

Day 3 of the Morocco itinerary 7 days is a full day in Fes with a friendly local guide, so there is no driving and no stress. After breakfast, your guide meets you at the riad and explains the history of the city, which has more than a thousand years of stories to tell.

You walk in Fes el Bali, one of the largest car-free medinas in the world, and visit the old gates, the beautiful medersas and the traditional fountains. The guide shows you the narrow alleys, so you never get lost in the maze of more than nine thousand streets.

You see the famous Chouara tanneries, where leather is still made by hand in the old way, and you visit the pottery and weaving workshops. You can shop in the souks for leather bags, spices, lamps and ceramics, and your guide helps you with the prices.

You stop for a traditional Moroccan lunch in a nice local restaurant and take small breaks with mint tea. In the late afternoon you return to your riad to rest, or you can walk again in the medina at sunset.

Driving distance: none, guided walking tour
Driving time: about 6 to 7 hours on foot, with breaks
Overnight: riad or hotel in Fes

Day 4: Fes → Ifrane → Azrou → Midelt → Merzouga

Day 4 is a long and beautiful driving day, so you leave Fes early after breakfast. You drive south to Ifrane, a small and clean town in the Middle Atlas Mountains with Swiss style houses, red roofs and green gardens, and you can stop for photos and a short walk.

Then you continue to the cedar forest near Azrou, one of the most beautiful forests in Morocco. Here you meet the wild Barbary monkeys, who love to take peanuts from your hand, and you can walk between the old giant cedar trees.

After the town of Midelt, the landscape slowly changes and becomes dry, wide and golden. You cross the Ziz Valley with its endless palm trees, and you stop for lunch on the way before you drive the last part of the road to Merzouga.

At sunset you ride a camel into the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi to your desert camp, and you can try sandboarding on the sand. Dinner and Berber drum music follow under a sky full of stars, and you sleep in your tent.

Driving distance: about 480 km
Driving time: about 8.5 hours, with stops
Overnight: desert camp in Merzouga

Day 5: Merzouga Jeep Tour

Day 5 of the 7 days desert tour from Casablanca is a full day in the Merzouga area in a comfortable 4×4 jeep. After a slow breakfast, you leave the camp with your driver and drive across the open desert, where you see small villages, rocky plains and the high dunes from a different side.

You visit a nomad family who live in the desert in the traditional way. They welcome you with sweet mint tea and fresh bread, and they show you how they take care of their animals and how life is in the middle of the Sahara.

Then you see the old M’ifis mine and its dark tunnels in the mountains, and you drive to Khamlia, a small village where the Gnawa people live. You listen to their music and rhythm, and you drive to Lake Dayet Srij, where you can see flamingos and other birds when the lake has water.

You come back to your desert camp in the afternoon and have time to rest, to walk on the dunes or to try sandboarding. In the evening you enjoy a second night in the camp with a good dinner, a warm fire and a peaceful sky full of stars.

Driving distance: about 30 to 40 km
Driving time: about 3 to 4 hours, with stops
Overnight: desert camp in Merzouga

Day 6: Merzouga → Rissani → Todra Gorge → Boumalne Dades

Day 6 starts early with the sunrise over the dunes, which is a magic moment in the quiet desert. You can walk or ride a camel back to the edge of the dunes, take your last photos and enjoy a good breakfast before you say goodbye to the desert camp.

Then you drive to Rissani, a market town with a long history and the old home of the royal family of Morocco. You can walk in the lively souk, see the donkeys, the dates and the spices, and feel the real daily life of the south.

After lunch you cross the rocky plains and small oases to Todra Gorge, where the red cliffs are more than 200 meters high. You can walk inside the gorge, take photos of the huge walls and cool your feet in the clear river.

In the late afternoon you continue to the Dades area near Boumalne Dades, with its strange rocks and green valley. You check in to your hotel or guesthouse, relax with a view of the mountains, and have a nice dinner in the evening.

Driving distance: about 300 km
Driving time: about 6 hours, with stops
Overnight: hotel or guesthouse in Boumalne Dades

Day 7: Boumalne Dades → Ouarzazate → Ait Ben Haddou → Marrakech

Day 7 is the last day of your journey, and it starts after a relaxed breakfast in the Dades area. You drive along the famous Road of the Kasbahs, where you see many old clay fortresses, green palm groves and small Berber villages, before you arrive in Ouarzazate, the door of the desert.

Then you visit Ait Ben Haddou, a famous fortified village and a UNESCO World Heritage Site where many movies and series were filmed. You walk up between the old clay houses to the top, and you enjoy a wide view over the valley and the river.

After lunch, you cross the High Atlas Mountains over the Tizi n’Tichka pass, one of the highest roads in Morocco. The road has many curves and wide views of the snowy peaks, and you can stop in small villages on the way for tea and photos.

In the evening you arrive in the Red City of Marrakech. Your driver takes you to your hotel or to the airport, and your 7 days tour from Casablanca ends here with many memories of Morocco.
