10-Day Grand Morocco Road Trip from Marrakech

Desert, mountains, imperial cities and the Atlantic — the whole country at an easy pace.

10 days · 9 nights From Marrakech Private tour

01Overview

Our most complete Morocco road trip: the Sahara, the gorges, Fès, Chefchaouen, Rabat and a finale by the sea in Essaouira before returning to Marrakech.

Ten days lets the road breathe. You cross the High Atlas to the desert, climb north through the Middle Atlas to Fès and Chefchaouen, follow the Atlantic coast through Rabat and finish with two slow days in Essaouira, the windy, whitewashed port where Marrakech locals go to relax.

Every night is in a characterful riad, kasbah or camp, and each day leaves time to wander. Ideal for honeymooners and first-time visitors who want the full picture.

02Highlights

  • The Sahara at Merzouga with a camp night
  • Dadès and Todra gorges
  • Fès medina and Chefchaouen
  • Rabat, Morocco's elegant capital
  • Two nights by the ocean in Essaouira
  • Easy pace — no more than 5–6 hours on the road most days
