Sample Route
Casablanca -> Rabat -> Tangier -> Chefchaouen -> Volubilis -> Fes -> Merzouga -> Dades Valley -> Marrakech -> Essaouira -> Casablanca
Who It Suits
First-time travelers who want a broad Morocco journey with two-night pauses in Chefchaouen, Fes, and the Sahara region instead of moving cities every day.
Planning Range
Indicative planning range for two travelers: €9,000–€14,500
Basis: two travelers sharing one room, private transport throughout the sample route, comfortable locally rooted accommodation, guided city days where shown and the full erg chebbi experience, essaouira day trip and final casablanca airport positioning.
This is an indicative planning range, not a fixed booking price. Dates, group size, room configuration, comfort level, route details, and selected inclusions shape the final proposal.
Choose the breadth that fits your time
10, 12, or 14 days?
All three routes connect Morocco's major chapters. The additional days change the amount of breathing room and what belongs at the end of the journey.
10 days
Keep the broad first journey disciplined
The north, Fes, Sahara, southern valleys, and Marrakech fit into one connected route without expecting deep immersion in every region.
12 days
Add pauses while keeping the route inland
Chefchaouen, Fes, and the Sahara gain stronger two-night rhythms, with Day 12 reserved for a realistic airport handoff.
14 days
Keep the pauses and add the Atlantic close
The longer shape includes Essaouira and final Casablanca positioning without taking time away from the core inland chapters.
