Our private 7 Day Rabat To Marrakech Tour offers an immersive Moroccan experience. A week is enough to add the desert to the imperial cities. Our 7 day Rabat to Marrakech tour is a private, one-way journey from Rabat to Marrakech that links the Blue City, Volubilis and Fes to a Sahara night at Erg Chebbi and the kasbahs of the south.
You wander Chefchaouen, stand among the columns at Volubilis, lose a day in the Fes medina, then drop through the Ziz Valley to Merzouga, where you ride camels into the dunes and sleep at a camp run by people we know. The road west takes in the Todra Gorge, the UNESCO kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, and the Tizi n’Tichka pass before Marrakech.

We pick you up in Rabat for a quick look at the capital — the Kasbah of the Udayas and the Hassan Tower — then drive north into the Rif to the Blue City of Chefchaouen. You wander the cobalt medina and climb to the Spanish Mosque for sunset.
Accommodation: riad in Chefchaouen (B&B).
South to the UNESCO Roman city of Volubilis — mosaics, arch, basilica — then the imperial gates and granaries of Meknes, into Fes by evening.
Accommodation: traditional riad in Fes (B&B).
A full day in Fes el-Bali with a licensed guide: the Chouara tanneries, the Bou Inania madrasa, the Al-Qarawiyyin, the Royal Palace gates, and the craft souks of the largest car-free medina on earth.
Accommodation: traditional riad in Fes (B&B).
A long, beautiful day south: the cedar forests and macaques around Ifrane and Azrou, the apple town of Midelt, and the palm-lined Ziz Valley overlook. By late afternoon the Erg Chebbi dunes rise from the plain, and a sunset camel trek carries you to a Berber camp run by people we know — tagine, drums, and stars.
Accommodation: Berber desert camp at Erg Chebbi (half board).
Up for the sunrise, camels back for breakfast, then west via Rissani, cradle of the Alaouite dynasty, to the Todra Gorge, where 300-metre walls frame the riverbed, and into the Dades Valley with its hairpin road.
Accommodation: hotel or riad in the Dades Valley (half board).
West on the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs past Ouarzazate to the UNESCO kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou — a climb to the granary at the top and a bit of film-spotting — then over the Tizi n’Tichka (2,260 m) into Marrakech for the evening.
Accommodation: riad in Marrakech (B&B).
A morning with one of our guides through the red city: the Koutoubia, the Bahia Palace, the Saadian Tombs, the Majorelle Garden, and the souks around Jemaa el-Fna. Afternoon transfer to the airport or train station, or stay on if you like.
