Our 7 day Rabat to Marrakech tour is the most complete grand circuit from Morocco’s capital — seven days, six nights, weaving together the Blue City of Chefchaouen, the imperial medina of Fes, the golden dunes of the Sahara, the UNESCO kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, and the red city of Marrakech. From Rabat, you head north to Chefchaouen, drop south through Volubilis and Meknes to Fes for a deep medina day, continue through the Middle Atlas to the Erg Chebbi dunes for a sunset camel trek and a Berber-camp night, then return west via Todra Gorge and Ait Ben Haddou to Marrakech.
This 7 day Rabat to Marrakech tour is private, all-inclusive, English-speaking Berber driver/guide throughout.
