Your 6 days Morocco tour begins in Casablanca, Morocco’s largest city and economic capital. Upon arrival, your driver will meet you and take you to visit the magnificent Hassan II Mosque, an architectural marvel perched on the Atlantic coast. After soaking in its grandeur, we’ll head to Rabat (approx. 90 km), the current capital city. Here, you’ll explore the iconic Hassan Tower, the incomplete minaret of a historic mosque, and the splendid Mausoleum of Mohammed V. You’ll also visit the picturesque Kasbah of the Udayas. Finally, we’ll continue to Fes (approx. 200 km) for an overnight stay in a traditional riad.
Today is dedicated to exploring the spiritual and cultural heart of Morocco. With a knowledgeable local guide, you’ll spend the entire day delving into the labyrinthine alleys of Fes el-Bali, the UNESCO-listed old medina, which is one of the world’s largest car-free urban areas. You’ll visit significant landmarks such as the ancient Al-Qarawiyyin University, the exquisite Bou Inania Madrasa, and witness the vibrant activity of the famous Chouara Tannery. You’ll also explore various artisan workshops, seeing traditional crafts come to life. Lunch will be enjoyed within the medina. The rest of the day is at your leisure to further discover the vibrant souks or simply relax and enjoy the ambiance of your riad.
Today, your tour takes you on a scenic journey into the Middle Atlas Mountains. You’ll pass through Ifrane (approx. 60 km from Fes), often referred to as the “Switzerland of Morocco” due to its alpine-style architecture. Continue to the Azrou cedar forest (approx. 30 km), where you’ll have the chance to spot wild Barbary monkeys. After a refreshing stop, your drive will lead you through the stunning Ziz Valley (starting approx. 140 km from Azrou), an extensive oasis filled with date palm trees, offering breathtaking panoramic views. As the day progresses, the landscape will gradually shift to the desert, and you’ll arrive in Merzouga (approx. 230 km from Ziz Valley).
Here, you’ll meet your camel caravan and embark on an unforgettable camel trek deep into the golden Erg Chebbi dunes. Experience a mesmerizing Sahara sunset from atop a dune before arriving at your luxury desert camp for an unforgettable night with dinner under the stars and traditional Berber music around a campfire.
Wake up early today to witness a breathtaking Sahara sunrise over the dunes. After breakfast at the desert camp, you’ll ride camels back to Merzouga, where your driver will be waiting. You’ll have an optional opportunity for a 4×4 desert exploration to visit a nomadic family and experience Gnawa music in Khamlia village (this will shorten your time at Todra/Dades). Your journey then continues to the towering Todra Gorges (approx. 140 km), a magnificent canyon carved by the Todra River. You’ll enjoy a leisurely walk through Morocco’s most dramatic canyon. Afterward, you’ll continue to the Dades Valley (approx. 60 km), known for its unique rocky landscape and fascinating “monkey toes” formations. You’ll spend the night in a beautiful hotel overlooking the valley, enjoying dinner and relaxing.
After breakfast in the Dades Valley, your journey continues through the picturesque “Valley of Roses” and the Skoura palm grove towards the cinematic city of Ouarzazate (approx. 100 km).

Next, you’ll visit the UNESCO-listed Ait Ben Haddou (approx. 30 km), a magnificent fortified village (ksar) that has served as a filming location for blockbusters like Game of Thrones and Gladiator.

We prioritize authentic experiences. Our tours include opportunities to interact with local communities, such as optional visits to nomadic families in the desert and experiencing traditional Gnawa music. Our guides are locals who can offer genuine insights into Moroccan life and traditions, ensuring meaningful cultural encounters beyond typical tourist attractions.
Our accommodations are carefully selected riads and hotels that reflect Moroccan architecture and hospitality while offering modern comforts. Riads are traditional Moroccan houses with interior courtyards, providing a serene and authentic atmosphere. Hotels are chosen for their quality, location, and ability to offer a comfortable stay that complements the traditional experiences of the tour.
This tour involves a good amount of driving and walking in cities and historical sites. The camel trek in the desert is generally easy and suitable for most. While there are opportunities for walks (e.g., in Todra Gorges), these are usually optional or adaptable. As long as you have a moderate level of fitness and are comfortable with extended periods of sitting during travel, you should enjoy this tour.
This 6-day itinerary is designed for travelers who want to experience Morocco’s highlights efficiently. Unlike longer tours (e.g., 10 days) that might include additional cities like Chefchaouen, Meknes, and Volubilis, or offer two nights in the desert, this tour focuses on the most iconic experiences. It provides a fantastic overview for those with less time, while still ensuring a memorable desert adventure and cultural immersion
