6 Days Tour from Casablanca to Merzouga Desert

Meet your driver at the agreed Casablanca address and travel toward Rabat. Choose a short stop around Hassan Tower or another agreed landmark, with timing adapted to arrival and traffic. Continue toward Meknes before reaching Fes. This is a transfer day with selected stops, rather than a complete guided visit to three cities. Settle into your riad or hotel. Overnight: Fes.

Your first day introduces the Atlantic coast and the imperial-city route. Keep a small day bag with water, sun protection and any essentials you want during stops. If you arrive on a morning flight, we will adapt the programme to your confirmed landing time. A detailed Fes medina visit is not included in this transfer day unless arranged separately.

Overnight: Fes.

Moroccan tiled fountain and traditional architecture.

Leave Fes early and cross the Middle Atlas through the Ifrane and Azrou areas. Stop for refreshments and suitable viewpoints, then continue through Midelt and the Ziz Valley toward Erfoud and Merzouga. This is a long driving day, so agree priorities in advance. Reach the camp meeting point for your planned camel ride or prearranged vehicle alternative, subject to conditions and arrival time. Enjoy dinner and your camp stay. Overnight: Merzouga desert camp.

The landscape changes from mountain towns to palm-lined valleys and the dunes of Erg Chebbi. Keep a warm layer accessible for the evening. Pack a small overnight bag for camp and confirm the luggage-transfer arrangements with your driver. Camel trekking is optional: request a vehicle alternative before booking if you prefer.

Overnight: Merzouga desert camp.

Camel caravan beside the Sahara dunes.

Enjoy the early light near camp if you wish, followed by breakfast and your agreed return transfer. Travel west toward Tinghir and Todra Gorge, where you can take a short walk when access permits. Continue to the Dades Valley, with comfort and photo stops chosen around the day’s progress. Overnight: Dades Valley hotel or guesthouse.

This day combines desert scenery with the dramatic rock walls of the gorge. Wear comfortable shoes for the short walk and carry water. The walking distance can be adapted, and extra activities or longer hikes should be requested in advance. Arrive in the valley in time to settle into your accommodation and enjoy the surrounding scenery.

Overnight: Dades Valley.

Green Moroccan valley and earthen houses.

Travel through the Valley of Roses and the Ouarzazate area toward Ait Ben Haddou. Explore the earthen lanes at a comfortable pace, with any local guide and admission arrangements confirmed in your quotation. Continue across the High Atlas to Marrakech. Weather and road conditions affect the schedule, so studio visits or additional detours are optional and must fit the available time. Overnight: Marrakech.

The historic ksar of Ait Ben Haddou provides a memorable contrast to the mountain journey. Its lanes can be uneven and exposed to the sun, so suitable shoes and a hat are useful. We will balance the visit with the onward journey across the Atlas rather than promise every possible stop.

Overnight: Marrakech.

Traditional Moroccan kasbah entrance.

Spend the day exploring Marrakech with the guided arrangements you select before booking. The medina, souks and selected historic landmarks can form a walking route adapted to your interests. Tickets, gardens and licensed guiding are included only if listed in your quotation. Leave time for breaks and independent exploration. Overnight: Marrakech.

Choose a cultural walking visit, shopping time or a quieter pace. Tell us which monuments and gardens interest you so we can check opening arrangements and ticket availability. Some medina streets are pedestrian-only, so meeting points and walking distances are agreed with your guide. Your second Marrakech night gives you time to enjoy the city without another hotel change.

Overnight: Marrakech.

Colourful textiles in a Moroccan market.

After breakfast, return to Casablanca and finish at the agreed hotel, airport or accessible central address. Departure time must allow for traffic and your flight check-in requirements. Any additional sightseeing depends on the confirmed drop-off time. The six-day programme ends without a sixth hotel night.

Please share your flight number and departure time when requesting your quotation. We will confirm a sensible departure time from Marrakech and whether any Casablanca stop can fit comfortably. For an early flight, a different final-night arrangement may be necessary and will be quoted separately.

Overnight: Tour ends in Casablanca.
