Full description

Seven days is the sweet spot for a first trip to Morocco. It is long enough to reach the real Sahara, spend a proper day in Fes rather than a rushed afternoon, and still get north to Chefchaouen, the blue mountain town that most short itineraries have to skip.

You travel south first over the Atlas to Ait Ben Haddou and the gorges, sleep in the dunes at Merzouga, then loop north through the Ziz Valley and the cedar forests to Fes. From Fes the road climbs into the Rif to Chefchaouen before returning through Volubilis and Meknes.

The final leg brings you back to Marrakech. Because everything is private you decide how long to linger anywhere; the itinerary below is the version we recommend, not a fixed timetable.

Good to know before you book

  • This is a private tour: only your group travels in the vehicle.
  • Departure dates are flexible — the itinerary starts on the day that suits you.
  • Driving distances in Morocco are long; the itinerary is paced so each day includes stops, viewpoints and time to walk around.
  • Monument entrance fees are not included and are paid locally, so you only pay for the sites you choose to enter.
  • Accommodation is selected for comfort and location; we confirm the standard with you before booking and never name a specific hotel until it is reserved.
  • Anything not listed as included may require an extra payment — we will tell you the cost before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

Is one week enough for Morocco?

For a first trip, yes. Seven days covers the Sahara, one imperial city in depth and the north without daily six-hour drives. Ten days lets you add the Atlantic coast.

How much time do we actually get in Fes?

A full free day plus the evening of arrival — enough to see the medina properly rather than just walk through it.

Are entrance fees included?

No. Volubilis, palaces and museums are paid on site so you only pay for what you visit. Your driver will tell you the current fees.

Can the itinerary be changed?

Yes, before departure and, within reason, on the road. It is your private vehicle.
