Our 10 day Morocco tour from Fes is the most well-rounded grand circuit available — ten days, nine nights, covering the blue city of Chefchaouen, all four imperial cities, the Sahara dunes (with two nights at Erg Chebbi), the kasbah trail to Ait Ben Haddou, the red city of Marrakech, and the windswept Atlantic coast of Essaouira.
From Fes, you loop north through the Rif Mountains to Chefchaouen, then south via Volubilis and Meknes to the Middle Atlas, the Ziz Valley, and the Sahara — two full nights in Merzouga let you actually slow down: a sunrise from the dunes, a 4×4 desert circuit, a visit with a Berber nomad family.
The return leg west takes you through Todra Gorge, Dades, Ait Ben Haddou (UNESCO), Marrakech, and finishes with two nights in Marrakech + one in Essaouira on the Atlantic. This 10 day Morocco tour from Fes is private, all-inclusive, and led by an English-speaking Berber driver/guide.
