Overview
Ten days. Countless moments. This is a road trip through Morocco that takes you deeper. We’re not just stopping at the highlights. We’re moving through the country from city to desert and back again, with each day unfolding into something new. From the blue-washed steps of Chefchaouen to the glowing stillness of the Sahara, you’ll experience Morocco’s richness in a way that feels both grounded and unforgettable.
We’ll explore ancient medinas, sip mint tea with locals, wander through spirited souks, dance to the rhythm of Gnawa drums, and rest beneath the stars in luxury desert tents. There’s time for movement and stillness. For learning, laughing, shopping, and just breathing it all in. This trip is not a whirlwind. It’s a thoughtful experience built around connection: to the culture, the people, and each other.

Itinerary
Day 1: Welcome to Morocco!
Touchdown, City Beats & Coastal Breezes: Your Moroccan road trip begins in Casablanca, a city where bold energy meets coastal ease. After airport pickup, we’ll take time to explore its modern heart: think wide boulevards, seaside strolls along the Corniche, and a visit to the awe-inspiring Hassan II Mosque perched over the Atlantic. After soaking up the city’s pulse, we’ll head to Rabat for the night, where a welcome dinner awaits and the journey officially begins.
Approx. Drive Time: 2 hours
Day 2: From Imperial Grandeur to Mountain Magic
Today begins in Rabat, Morocco’s stately capital, where centuries of history meet coastal charm. With your local guide leading the way, you’ll wander through the walled beauty of the Oudaia Kasbah, a fortress-within-a-city that feels like stepping into another time. You’ll visit the striking Mausoleum of Mohammed V and stand beneath the towering remnants of Hassan Tower, an ambitious dream of what was meant to be the world’s largest mosque. One of the most fascinating stops is the Chellah Necropolis, a site layered with both Roman and Islamic ruins that quietly whisper stories of Morocco’s complex past.
We’ll journey through the scenic Rif Mountains, trading the imperial cityscape for the soft blue hues of Chefchaouen. Snuggled against the hillside, this postcard-perfect town greets us with cobblestone charm, cool mountain air, and a sense of calm that feels like a dream.
Approx. Drive Time: 4 hours
Day 3: Shades of Blue and Stories Untold
After breakfast, we’ll explore the magic of Chefchaouen (The Blue City), a city painted in dreamy blues and tucked into the mountains. With deep Andalusian roots, this hillside haven became a refuge during the Spanish Inquisition, and its quiet streets still carry that sense of resilience and beauty. You’ll join a guided walk through the medina, stop at Ras El-Ma where the mountain spring bubbles into town, and take in sweeping views during a short hike to the old “Spanish” mosque overlooking the valley.
Later, you’ll have plenty of time to wander on your own, browsing for handmade goods, capturing the iconic blue alleyways, or settling into a peaceful café with a Moroccan mint tea in hand. As the sun dips behind the hills, we’ll begin our journey to the historic city of Fes, where a new chapter of discovery awaits.
Approx. Drive Time: 4 hours
Day 4: The Cultural Heartbeat of Morocco
Today, we explore Fes, a city that feels like a living museum. Its walled medina is one of the most complete medieval Islamic cities in the world, with narrow alleyways, sky-high walls, and a deep sense of history in every step.
Our guided walking tour takes you through the heart of it all. You’ll visit Place an-Nejjarine with its beautiful fountain and historic caravanserai, stroll past 14th-century merchant stalls, and see the striking dye pits of the city’s iconic tanneries. We’ll pass the grand Qayrawan Mosque and wander through spice-filled souks where the scent of saffron and rose water lingers in the air. The day also includes time to explore at your own pace, whether that’s shopping, relaxing at a café, or simply soaking in the energy of this unforgettable city.
Day 5: From Mountains to Golden Dunes
We’ll hit the road early today for one of the most scenic drives of the trip, and trust us, it’s worth every mile. From the cool cedar forests of the Middle Atlas to the palm-dotted valleys of the south, you’ll watch Morocco’s landscapes shift in real time. Along the way, we’ll make stops in Ifrane (nicknamed “Little Switzerland”), pass through the charming towns of Midelt and Erfoud, and wind down through the breathtaking Ziz Valley.
By late afternoon, we’ll reach Merzouga, gateway to the Sahara. Here, we’ll trade wheels for camels and head off into the dunes caravan-style, led by local Berber guides. As the sun begins to set, you’ll arrive at your private tented camp tucked in the sand, with the stars above and silence all around.
Approx. Drive Time: 7–8 hours (with scenic stops)
Day 6: Soulful Rhythms + Desert Roads
Day 7: Ancient Walls + Epic Mountain Roads
After breakfast, we’ll journey west toward Ouarzazate, known as the “Door to the Desert,” and stop at the iconic Kasbah Aït Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that feels frozen in time. This earthen fortress has been the backdrop for films like Gladiator, Lawrence of Arabia, and The Mummy. Walking through its narrow passageways, it’s easy to imagine the stories this place has held over centuries of trade and tradition.
From there, we’ll head toward Marrakech, crossing the High Atlas Mountains via the breathtaking Tizi n’Tichka Pass. The winding drive is one of the most scenic in the country, offering sweeping views of terraced valleys, Berber villages, and, depending on the season, snow-dusted peaks.
Approx. Drive Time: 4 hours
Day 8: Marrakech Medina & Majorelle Garden
Day 9: Marrakech at Your Own Pace
Day 10: Farewell
