10 day Morocco tour from Casablanca

Is this route right for you?

Keep a full day for the dunes on a route linking Morocco’s cities. The longer stay leaves room for city visits as well as the desert crossing. Check the day-by-day route below to see where you have a full day and where the journey takes most of the day.

The desert is a substantial drive from the main cities. A private vehicle gives you flexibility for breaks, but it does not remove those distances. Short tours concentrate on reaching the dunes and connecting the main stops. Longer trips give more room for full days in one place. If someone in your group prefers less time in a car, mention that when asking for the route.

10 day Morocco tour from Casablanca: day by day

Suggested itinerary. The final schedule, accommodation and activities are confirmed in your personal quote.

Arrive in Casablanca

Start in Casablanca with a meeting point arranged around your arrival. The first day stays flexible to account for the flight and airport formalities. A city visit can be considered if your schedule allows it. If the Hassan II Mosque is a priority, ask the team to check visiting times before you travel.

Casablanca, Rabat and Chefchaouen

Travel north with a stop in Rabat before continuing to Chefchaouen. Choose a few places that matter most rather than trying to fit a full city visit into a transfer day. Leave time for lunch and rest breaks. The final programme depends on your starting time and the pace you prefer.

Chefchaouen to Fes

After Chefchaouen, the journey continues towards Fes. Settle into your accommodation on arrival and keep the evening for dinner nearby. If you want to add a detour on the way, raise it while planning so that the day still leaves time to rest before tomorrow’s medina visit.

Explore Fes

Spend the day on foot in the Fes medina. Plan a walk that connects the areas you most want to see, with a break for lunch and time to look around. A local guide can help with the route; we will discuss guiding, entrance fees and walking distances while planning. Part of the afternoon can stay free for a café or your riad.

Fes, the Middle Atlas and Merzouga

The journey south crosses the Middle Atlas, then continues through the Ziz Valley towards Merzouga. Keep a small bag with what you need during the drive. The departure time and the stops shape your arrival in the desert; the camp stay and any activities will be set out in your quote.

A day around the Erg Chebbi dunes

You stay around Merzouga today, with time for the dunes and a break at your accommodation. Khamlia or Rissani can be part of the day if they interest you. We agree the local visits and activities beforehand, according to availability and conditions. There is no long transfer to another city.

Merzouga, Todra Gorge and Dades

Leave the dunes and travel towards the Todra Gorge and Dades Valley. There is room for a short walk and a lunch break along the route. Tell your driver if you prefer more time on foot or fewer stops. Spend the night in the valley before the mountain crossing to Marrakech.

Dades, Ait Ben Haddou and Marrakech

Travel through the Ouarzazate area and stop at Ait Ben Haddou before crossing the High Atlas to Marrakech. The route combines village paths and several hours on the road. A practical start leaves space for breaks without hurrying the final part of the day. Finish at the drop-off point agreed with the team.

Time in Marrakech

Walk from the Koutoubia gardens towards the medina and the souks. The day leaves time to browse, stop for lunch and explore the streets between the main sights. If you have particular monuments in mind, tell us while planning so we can check tickets and visiting times.

Departure from Marrakech

Keep the final day organised around your onward travel. Agree the pickup point and timing with the team after your flights are confirmed. If you have free time, choose something near your accommodation rather than a distant excursion. Check your room and luggage before leaving for the airport.
