Ten days from Casablanca is the itinerary we recommend when travellers say they want to see everything without living in the car. It covers the north, the desert, the mountains and the coast, and still leaves free days in the three cities worth lingering in.
You begin on the Atlantic and in the Rif, with Rabat, Chefchaouen, Volubilis, Meknes and a full day in Fes. Then the road turns south through the Middle Atlas and the Ziz Valley to the Erg Chebbi dunes for a camel ride and a night in a desert camp.
The final third is the kasbah route to Marrakech and then out to Essaouira on the Atlantic, before finishing in Marrakech. Everything is private and the pace is set by you.
