Our 12 day Morocco tour from Fes is the most comprehensive grand circuit available — twelve days, eleven nights, covering every corner of the country in a single private overland journey. From Fes, you loop north to the Blue City of Chefchaouen, then west to the Atlantic port of Tangier, south through the artist colony of Asilah and the imperial capital of Rabat, on to cosmopolitan Casablanca and red-city Marrakech.
From Marrakech you cross the High Atlas to Ait Ben Haddou (UNESCO), reach the Sahara dunes for two nights of Berber-camp immersion, then return north through Todra Gorge, Dades, and the Middle Atlas back to Fes. This 12 day Morocco tour from Fes is private, all-inclusive, and led by an English-speaking Berber driver/guide who actually knows these regions — no rushing, no backtracking on the same scenery twice.
