In the afternoon you’ll drive north to Rabat, Morocco’s capital, to visit the Hassan Tower, the Mausoleum of Mohammed V and the cliff-top Kasbah of the Udayas with its blue-and-white lanes. Dinner and overnight in Rabat.

Day 2: Rabat → Meknes → Volubilis → Moulay Idriss → Fes:
After breakfast you’ll travel to Meknes, the imperial city of Sultan Moulay Ismail, to see the monumental Bab Mansour gate, the royal granaries and El-Hedim square.
Next is Volubilis, the best-preserved Roman city in Morocco and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, followed by the sacred hilltop town of Moulay Idriss. You’ll reach Fes in the evening for dinner and an overnight stay.

You’ll visit the Al-Qarawiyyin, the Bou Inania and Attarine madrasas, the Chouara tanneries and the artisan quarters of coppersmiths, weavers and potters, with time to browse the souks. Overnight in Fes.

Day 4: Fes → Midelt → Errachidia → Merzouga:
Today you cross the Middle Atlas toward the Sahara. You’ll pass alpine-style Ifrane and stop in the Azrou cedar forest to meet its wild Barbary macaques.
Continuing via Midelt and Errachidia, you’ll follow the palm-lined Ziz Valley as the landscape turns Saharan. In the late afternoon you’ll reach Merzouga for a sunset camel trek over the Erg Chebbi dunes to your desert camp — dinner, Berber drums and a night beneath the stars.
-
Iti5
Day 5: Sahara Desert Tour → Camel Trekking:
A full day in the Sahara. After sunrise over the dunes and breakfast at camp, you’ll explore the Merzouga region by 4x4: the village of Khamlia, home to Gnaoua musicians of Malian descent, the nomad families who still live out in the desert, and the old Mfis mines.
Late in the afternoon you’ll ride out again by camel to watch the sun set from a high dune, returning to camp for dinner and a second night in the Erg Chebbi dunes.
-
Iti6
Day 6: Merzouga → Rissani → Todra Gorges → Dades Gorges:
After breakfast you’ll head west, stopping at the lively souk of Rissani — one of the region’s oldest markets — and the Tafilalet palm groves.
You’ll reach Tinghir and the Todra Gorge, where cliffs nearly 300 metres high enclose a cool river, perfect for a short walk. The day ends in the Dades Gorges, with dinner and an overnight stay in a local hotel or riad.

Iti7
Day 7: Dades Gorges → Rose Valley → Ouarzazate → Ait Ben-Haddou → Marrakech:
You’ll follow the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs through the Dades Valley and the Rose Valley of Kalaat M’Gouna to Ouarzazate, “the Hollywood of Africa,” with its Taourirt Kasbah and Atlas Film Studios.
Then comes the fortified ksar of Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site seen in Gladiator and Game of Thrones. After lunch you’ll cross the High Atlas via the Tizi n’Tichka pass (2,260 m) to Marrakech for dinner and an overnight stay.
-
Iti8
Day 8: Marrakech ( Visit The City With A Local Guide )
A guided day in Marrakech, the Red City. With a local guide you’ll explore the medina and its landmarks — the Koutoubia minaret, the Saadian Tombs, the Bahia Palace and the Ben Youssef Madrasa.
You’ll wander the souks of the old town and finish at Jemaa el-Fna, the great square that fills each evening with food stalls, musicians and storytellers. Overnight in Marrakech.
-

Day 9: Marrakech → Essaouira → Marrakech
A day trip west to Essaouira, the breezy Atlantic port. On the way you’ll stop at a women’s argan oil cooperative and, with luck, see goats perched in the argan trees.
In Essaouira you’ll walk the blue-and-white medina, the ramparts and the old Portuguese Skala fortress, with free time on the beach and a fresh fish lunch by the harbour before returning to Marrakech in the evening.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions about this tour
Are the tours private?
Yes! The tours our company offers are all completely private. This will allow experience Morocco the way YOU want to. In addition to that, you will of course be always welcome to request stops along the way during the tours, in order to take memorable photographs (or whatever other reason you want!).
In case you are interested in booking a group desert tour, please go ahead and contact us so as to make a suitable group tour for you.
Is our tour flexible and up to changes?
Depending on the sort of accommodations you need or the alterations you would want to make to your personalized trip, we are completely adaptable. However, if any modifications are made at least two weeks before your trip with us, please inform us.
Will the price will be the same if we are 2,3 or people?
The price for each individual person participating in the tours goes lower the more people there are in the group participating.
Will the price be cheaper for last minute booking?
Actually, it could be quite the opposite. Our team makes sure to select the best quality accommodations for our clients, and those tend to get booked full pretty quickly, that’s why it’s not always easy for us to accommodate last-minute bookings.
Therefore, you shouldn’t expect a lower price for such inquiries, but instead a higher one maybe. To avoid such incidents, we strongly advise you to book your tour with us early on, so that we will be able to pick out the best accommodations for you and offer you an unforgettable Morocco experience.
Is Morocco a safe country?
Morocco’s economy is heavily reliant on tourism to meet its financial needs. To put it another way, the Moroccan government wants tourists to feel comfortable and secure while spending their holiday and money in the country.
As a result, it devotes a significant amount of resources, particularly human resources, to ensure that all tourists are secure while in Morocco; this includes tourist police and highly qualified guides who have been accredited by the government after undergoing training.
In terms of extremism and crime rates, we can state that the occurrence of such crimes is similar to that of many European countries, as evidenced by several statistics: low and uncommon.
booking conditions and deposit
We’ll ask you for a deposit to secure your tour with Let’s Visit Morocco once we’ve confirmed an itinerary that works for you/your group (tours shown on our website can be changed based on your needs). We ask that you pay the remaining balance of your trip reservation at the beginning of your tour in Morocco.
