7 Day Morocco Tour from Casablanca: Fes, Sahara & Marrakech

Our 7 day Morocco tour from Casablanca is for first-time visitors who want the imperial cities, the Sahara and Marrakech in one week without planning a single transfer. You get a private air-conditioned vehicle and local driver, hand-picked riads and hotels, a camel trek to a Merzouga desert camp and a route that never doubles back.

The 7 day Morocco tour from Casablanca, at a glance

The loop starts at your Casablanca hotel or Mohammed V Airport and finishes in Marrakech. In seven days you cross the whole country: the Atlantic capital Rabat, the blue mountain town of Chefchaouen, the medieval medina of Fes, the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas, the dunes of Erg Chebbi, the gorges of the south and the High Atlas pass of Tizi n'Tichka.

It is a full week with some long driving days, because Morocco is a big country. We break every drive with photo stops, coffee and lunch in places worth seeing, and we never put two very long days back to back.

Practical information

Accommodation and comfort

Nights are in characterful riads and comfortable hotels, plus one night in a desert camp at Merzouga. Standard camps have shared facilities; we can upgrade to a luxury camp with private en-suite tents if you prefer.

Driving times

Expect around 4–5 hours of driving on most days and about 7–8 hours on day 4, from Fes to Merzouga, with regular stops. The Fes medina day is a rest from the road.

When to go

Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the most comfortable months. Summer is very hot in the desert and winter nights are cold in the camp and on the Atlas pass, but the tour runs all year. Our Morocco desert packing list covers what to bring for every season.

Who this tour suits

Couples, families and friends who want to see the real variety of Morocco in a week, travellers arriving on a Casablanca flight, and anyone who prefers a private driver to trains and buses. Children are welcome; tell us their ages so we can plan shorter stretches and the right vehicle.
