7-Day Imperial Cities & Sahara Tour from Casablanca
Land in Casablanca, finish in Marrakech — with Chefchaouen, Fès and the dunes in between.
01Overview
The most popular way to see Morocco from Casablanca airport: Rabat, Chefchaouen, Fès, a night in the Merzouga dunes and the kasbah road to Marrakech.
Most international flights land in Casablanca — and this route turns the arrival into the start of the adventure. Your driver meets you at the airport and the road unfolds north-east to Rabat and the blue mountain town of Chefchaouen, then on to Fès for a full day in the medina.
From Fès you cross the Middle Atlas to the Sahara for a camel trek and camp night, then follow the gorges and kasbahs west to Marrakech, where the tour ends.
