One Week in Morocco from Casablanca: Imperial Cities & Sahara

About the 7-day Morocco tour

If you have one week in Morocco, this is the itinerary we recommend. Starting at Casablanca airport, the 7-day private tour links the Atlantic coast, the blue city, the imperial capital of Fes, the Sahara and Marrakech in one smooth loop through the country.

You see the Hassan II Mosque and the royal capital Rabat on day one, sleep in Chefchaouen, spend a full day in the Fes medina with an official guide, ride a camel into the Erg Chebbi dunes, walk through the Todra Gorge and arrive in Marrakech via Aït Benhaddou and the High Atlas.

A private driver-guide is with you throughout, and every day can be adjusted: more time in a city, a cooking class, a hammam or a quiet morning by a pool.

Highlights

• Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca
• Rabat’s Kasbah of the Udayas
• A night in Chefchaouen
• Full guided day in Fes
