    Tour Details — 12 Day Morocco Tour from Fes

    Our private 12 Day Morocco Tour From Fes offers an immersive Moroccan experience. Twelve days is the whole country told slowly — the north, the Sahara, and the Atlantic, all from Fes. Our 12 day Morocco tour from Fes is a private grand circuit that takes in the four imperial cities, the Blue City of Chefchaouen, the Roman ruins of Volubilis, two Sahara nights at Erg Chebbi, the great gorges and kasbahs, Marrakech, and the windswept coast at Essaouira.

    From Fes you give the medina a full day, walk among the mosaics at Volubilis, and wander Chefchaouen before dropping to the Merzouga dunes for camel treks and a camp run by people we know. The road west runs the gorges and the UNESCO kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou to Marrakech, then turns to the Atlantic for the ramparts and blue boats of Essaouira. With twelve days there is room to breathe at every stop.

    Shorter grand tour? The 10-day Morocco tour from Fes keeps the desert and the cities.
