Our private 8 Day Morocco Itinerary From Casablanca offers an immersive Moroccan experience. Eight days is the unhurried grand loop from the coast — imperial cities, two desert nights, and the kasbah country. Our 8 day Morocco itinerary from Casablanca is a private journey from Casablanca through Rabat, Fes, the Sahara, and the gorges to Marrakech.
You start at the Hassan II Mosque on the Atlantic, see Rabat and the mosaics of Volubilis, and give Fes a full guided day. The road south reaches the Merzouga dunes for camel treks and a camp run by people we know, with a full 4×4 desert day, then runs the Todra and Dades gorges and the UNESCO kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou over the Atlas into Marrakech. Private 4×4, English-speaking Berber driver, hand-picked riads.
Have ten days? The classic 10-day grand tour from Casablanca adds the coast.
