Morocco Itinerary 7 to 10 Days: The Perfect First-Time Route

Marrakech, desert, Fes, Chefchaouen: two day-by-day itineraries tested by our driver-guides.

Got a week or ten days? That’s the perfect length to discover Morocco’s main faces: imperial cities, mountains, desert and coast. Here are two proven itineraries.

7-day itinerary: Marrakech, desert and Fes

• Day 1–2: Marrakech (medina, souks, gardens).
• Day 3: High Atlas, Ait Ben Haddou, Dades valley.
• Day 4: Todra Gorges, Merzouga and a night in the dunes.
• Day 5: Middle Atlas, Ifrane and arrival in Fes.
• Day 6: Fes medina tour.
• Day 7: Chefchaouen day trip or departure.

Days 3 to 5 match exactly our Marrakech – Fes desert tour.

9–10 day itinerary: the great classic

Adding Chefchaouen, Rabat and Casablanca gives you the route of our 9-day Sahara, Fes & Chefchaouen tour, our travellers’ favourite.

Atlantic coast variant

Prefer the ocean to imperial cities? The 8-day Grand Tour links Essaouira, Agadir, the Draa valley and Merzouga.

Tips for a successful itinerary
