Your journey begins in Tangier, a city where Europe meets Africa. After meeting your driver/guide, you’ll travel through the scenic Rif Mountains to reach Chefchaouen, Morocco’s famous “Blue Pearl.” Upon arrival, enjoy free time to explore the medina’s charming, blue-washed streets, browse local artisan shops, and relax in the main square, Plaza Uta el-Hammam. Overnight stay in a traditional guesthouse.
Depart Chefchaouen after breakfast and head toward the Roman ruins of Volubilis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its well-preserved mosaics and columns. After exploring the ruins, continue to the imperial city of Meknes to visit the monumental Bab Mansour gate and El Hedim square. Later in the afternoon, travel to Fes for overnight in a charming riad inside the old medina.
Enjoy breakfast before you meet your local guide and embark on an interesting tour of Fes, the spiritual and intellectual capital of Morocco. Discover the ancient medina of Fes el-Bali, a UNESCO World Heritage site, with highlights such as Al Quaraouiyine University, Bou Inania Madrasa, the Chouara Tannery, and neighborhoods full of medieval craft shops. In the afternoon say goodbye to your local guide and drive back to the Riad for one more night in Fes.
In the morning, drive south through the Middle Atlas Mountains. If you like, stop in Ifrane, a pretty town with houses in an alpine style and clean streets, thereafter, head on to the cedar forests of Azrou, which are home to wild Barbary macaques. Pass by Midelt, a charming town at the base of the Atlas Mountains. We will make a break for a delicious lunch in Er-Rich. Next to the stunning Ziz Valley with its date palms and traditional Kasbahs.
In late afternoon and you’ll be on the edge of the Sahara and ready for your camel caravan in Merzouga. Roll over the golden sand dunes of the Erg Chebbi and end the day with a spectacular sunset at your luxury desert camp. Have dinner under the stars with a good meal of traditional Berber food and be entertained by local Berber musicians.
After breakfast, leave Merzouga to Rissani, which is a splendid town famous for its souks and the origin of Morocco’s ruling family. Next, head south to Erfoud, known for fossil workshops where you can learn about prehistoric life in the area. Later continue to the west, you’ll find the stunning Todgha Gorges, with towering limestone canyons that are a hit for hikers and photographers. Instead, spend some time walking along the river and enjoying the dramatic cliffs. From there, keep driving to Boumalne Dades through some small Berber villages and cultivated terraced fields. Spend the night in an adorable hotel in the Dades Valley, surrounded by incredible rock formations.
The final day takes you through the cinematic landscapes of southern Morocco. Stop at Ouarzazate, the “Hollywood of Africa,” and visit the famous Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage site featured in many films. Cross the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka Pass (2,260 m) and arrive in Marrakech by evening. Drop-off at your hotel or riad concludes your epic Moroccan journey.

I recently returned from a 6-day tour from Tangier to Marrakech organized by Private Moroccan Tour, and it was one of the most memorable travel experiences of my life. Our guide, Hassan, was not only professional and knowledgeable, but he also had a genuine passion for Moroccan culture and history. From the blue streets of Chefchaouen to the golden dunes of Merzouga and the vibrant souks of Marrakech, every day was beautifully organized. The camel trek and luxury desert camp were absolute highlights. Hassan went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and informed at every stop. I felt completely safe, cared for, and inspired. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an authentic Moroccan journey!”
Our 6-day Morocco tour from Tangier to Marrakech was simply fantastic! Our driver and guide, Mustapha, made the whole experience smooth and full of joy. He was friendly, punctual, and shared so much insight about each place we visited from the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis to the breathtaking Todra Gorges and historic Ait Ben Haddou. The highlight for me was definitely the night in the Sahara Desert riding camels, watching the sunset, and sleeping under the stars in a luxury tent was unforgettable. The vehicle was very comfortable, and the accommodations exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Mustapha, and Private Moroccan Tour, for such a beautiful experience!”
