Your Best 10 Days Tour From Marrakech begins with a morning pick-up from your accommodation in Marrakech, setting off toward Ouarzazate through the majestic High Atlas Mountains. Along the way, you’ll stop for panoramic photos of the dramatic landscapes and remote Berber villages, including scenic pauses near the legendary Tizi n’Tichka Pass at 2,260 meters—the highest mountain road in Morocco.

Leaving the main route, the tour makes a special visit to the historic Kasbah of Telouet, once the seat of the powerful Glaoui family.

After breakfast, depart Ouarzazate and head toward the spectacular Dades and Todra Gorges, weaving through a rich landscape of kasbahs, oases, and valleys. Your first stop is the Skoura Oasis, where tall palm groves hide crumbling but majestic historic kasbahs, echoing the legacy of Morocco’s southern trade routes. Continuing onward, you’ll reach Kelaa M’Gouna, also known as the Valley of the Roses, famous for its fragrant rosewater products and seasonal festivals. Here, enjoy a relaxing glass of Berber tea with local hosts before journeying deeper into the mountains.

Next, the tour takes you off-road along the legendary Route of a Thousand Kasbahs, arriving in the dramatic Dades Gorges just in time for lunch.

A short stop in Erfoud, known for its fossils and Saharan charm, leads you closer to the magical dunes of Merzouga.

Arriving in Merzouga by midday, you'll have time to relax and enjoy lunch before embarking on an unforgettable camel trek into the towering dunes of Erg Chebbi, which reach heights of up to 250 meters.

Your day ends with an overnight stay in a traditional riad in Fes, where comfort and authenticity await.

After breakfast at your riad, embark on a guided journey through the ancient medina of Fes, Morocco’s spiritual and cultural capital. Begin with a visit to the majestic Royal Palace and the historic Mellah—the first Jewish quarter established in Morocco—revealing the city’s layered religious and architectural history. As your guide leads you through the labyrinth of narrow alleyways, you’ll uncover hidden gems and heritage sites, including the famous Al Quaraouiyine University, the oldest existing degree-granting university in the world, and the vibrant, centuries-old tanneries where leather is still dyed using traditional methods.

After lunch at a local restaurant, you’ll visit a ceramics workshop to see Fes’s distinctive blue pottery in the making, followed by a panoramic viewpoint offering sweeping views of the entire Fes Medina—a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the late afternoon, stroll through the Ville Nouvelle (new city) for a relaxed drink or some modern shopping before returning to your riad for another peaceful night in this enchanting imperial city.

After breakfast at your riad in Fes, depart around 8:00 AM for the picturesque town of Chefchaouen, nestled in the scenic Rif Mountains of northern Morocco. Known as the “Blue Pearl”, this charming destination is one of Morocco’s most photogenic cities—famous for its white- and blue-washed alleyways, serene atmosphere, and historic architecture.

After breakfast, your driver will pick you up from your Casablanca hotel to begin the scenic coastal journey to Essaouira, one of Morocco’s most beloved seaside towns. En route, stop in El Jadida, formerly known as Mazagan, a fortified port city originally established by the Portuguese.

Spend the night in a traditional riad or guesthouse inside the medina, where the sounds of sea gulls and waves replace the hustle of the cities.

Today offers a peaceful break from the road, giving you the perfect opportunity to relax and enjoy the laid-back coastal vibes of Essaouira.
