⇒ Day 1: Arrival in Marrakech
⇒ Day 2: Full Day to Visit Marrakech with a Local Guide.
The day begins with your first typical Moroccan breakfast. Don’t miss the egg dish with pita bread or the sweet green mint tea. A guided tour of Marrakech is on the agenda for today. Your guide will come to pick you up at the hotel or riad. You will spend about three hours together exploring this wonderful vibrant city. Highlights include the Koutoubia Mosque with its imposing minaret, the Saadian Tombs, which lay hidden for centuries and were only rediscovered in 1917, and the ornate Bahia Palace, one of the most beautiful royal residences from the 19th century.
If you still have time in the afternoon or evening, visit Djemaa-el-Fna Square on your own. Storytellers, musicians, jugglers, and lots of market stalls with partly very exotic products are waiting for you. We will take you back to your hotel or riad – if you don’t want to use one of the beautiful horse-drawn carriages. 11 Days Morocco Grand Tour
⇒ Day 3: Marrakech » Essaouira [170 km]
After a leisurely breakfast at the hotel, we start our Day by driving west to the small port town of Essaouira. On the way we encounter a strange spectacle on the roadside: goats spending their day on argan trees. Of course, we stop! Feeding and photos desired. Arrived in Essaouira, we first visit the old Portuguese fortress, whose imposing cannons point to the sea. The fishing port is a must. Here you can have your own choice of fresh fish, shellfish, or seafood prepared on the spot. Would you like to try a freshly caught oyster? Here it is possible. After a walk in the old medina, you return to your riad or hotel.
⇒ Day 4: Essaouira » Casablanca [377 km]
Today we drive to Casablanca, the economic metropolis of Morocco and the largest city in the kingdom with around 3 Mellion inhabitants. We will arrive at around 15:00 afternoon and we transfer you directly to your Hotel for Overnight.
⇒ Day 5: Casablanca » Rabat » Chefchaouen [340 km ]
⇒ Day 6: Chefchaouen » Volubilis » Meknes » Fes [197 km]
We will pick you up at your riad in the morning after breakfast. On the way to Fès, we stop at Volubilis, a Roman settlement from the 3rd century, with its very well-preserved arches, basins, wall remains, and mosaics. Afterwards, we will visit the predecessor royal city of Fez – Meknès. We will walk around the old fortress walls and see beautiful parks. After a stop for lunch, we will visit the medina. Here you can still discover old palaces and (military) buildings of the then-ruler Sultan Moulay Ismail (1672-1727), which survived the severe earthquake in 1755 and were partially rebuilt. Once in Fès, we will transfer you to your accommodation – a traditional riad.
⇒ Day 7: Fes (Visit the city with a local guide).
Similar to Marrakech, today starts with a city tour, your local guide will come to pick you up from your Riad after breakfast. This time you will begin your tour of this city steeped in history, with its huge city walls and its imposing golden gate leading to the royal palace. You will visit the tanneries, the Medersa Al Attarine, the Nejjarine Fountain, and probably the oldest university in the world: al-Qarawīyīn. The medina with its narrow streets, spice stalls, Berber carpets, traditional handicrafts and much more is of course also on the program. After lunch at a typical local restaurant, return to your riad for the night.
⇒ Day 8: Fes » Ifrane » Cedar Forest » Midelt » Merzouga Sahara Desert [467 km]
Today we leave early. A long road to Merzouga lies ahead of us. On the way, we will pass through areas that look more like Europe than the desert country of Morocco due to their lush vegetation. The road leads us further up and through the Moroccan Switzerland. It is green (or white in winter). The houses in adapted alpine style don’t seem to belong here. Even cows are not rare here (but camels are).
The highlight will be the drive through the Ifrane National Park with one of the largest Moroccan cedar forests. If we are lucky, we will meet the famous Barbary macaques that have migrated as far as Gibraltar. Feeding is allowed here, but still caution is advised. We cross the Atlas Mountains again – the Middle Atlas – and stop not only for a snack, but also for short breathers at breathtaking viewpoints. Then we descend again on the other side of the mountains to Erfoud / Merzouga. In Erfoud, we will stop at a manufactory, which is making articles of use and jewelry out of the regional fossil finds. Afterwards, we will bring you to your hotel or desert camp directly at the edge of the Sahara. Behind your hotel, the first golden sand dunes are already rising. A camel ride to the sunset over the dunes awaits you. Be sure to bring your camera to capture this special moment.
⇒ Day 9: Explore the Merzouga area & Visit nomad families [40 Km]
Today, after an extensive Moroccan breakfast with olives, egg dishes in the tajine, fresh still warm bread, and delicious desserts, we make a small regional tour. We will drive you straight through the dunes, and show you the vast plains famous for their fossil finds, the old eyeliner coal mines. We pay a visit to the Gnawa musicians, where drum rhythms from ancient times are still played, and gain insight into their history. 11 Days Morocco Travel
You will drink tea with real nomads under their traditional tent, made of hand-woven dark wool. And discover the taste of Berber cuisine in a regional restaurant with a Madfouna, the famous Berber pizza, which can also be baked on the fire. The afternoon is yours again. Time to relax or explore the sand dunes on your own. The hotel will be happy to provide you with a surfboard if you want to try your hand at it. Dinner and overnight at the Hotel.
⇒ Day 10: Merzouga – Rissani » Todra Gorges » Dades Valley [255 km]
We will come to pick you up after your leisurely breakfast. We continue towards Bomalen Dades. Now we are already on the road of 1000 Kasbahs – a region that gives an idea of how important and sometimes hotly contested the former trade route along the river oases was. To the right and to the left, our path is lined with half-ruined castles (kasbahs) or old settlements. We encounter bizarre rock formations and wide oasis valleys.
First, we stop at a unique gorge: The Todgha Gorge – at 1550 m.a.s.l. It is located at the foothills of the High Atlas and begins in the Berber town of Tinghir. Impressive, how the rock walls in this narrow gorge with the bubbling, crystal clear water rises far up! We will also pay a short visit to the Dades Gorge before taking you to your accommodation in Bomalen Dades. Tour Around Morocco
⇒ Day 11: Dades Valley » Ouarzazate » Marrakech [326 km]
Today we drive back to Marrakech. But until then, there is still much to discover. We drive through the Valley of the Roses. Here, the local offerings will make the hearts of herbal enthusiasts beat faster. Rose perfume. Soap. Body cream. Even the precious essential oil can be purchased here at a reasonable price. We continue to Ouarzazate, the Moroccan film metropolis. Fittingly, our next stop is the “Ksar Aît Benhaddou” (Ksar = settlement). This enchanting still original place in old clay construction has already served as a backdrop for many well-known films (most recently “The Game of Thrones”).
Now it goes again high up over the Atlas Mountains. At the 2260 m high Tizi-n-Tichka (Tizi (Berber) = pass) we stop and enjoy the breathtaking panorama, before we descend again to the plain to Marrakech. Depending on your departure time, we will take you directly to the airport or to your hotel/riad. End of our 11 Days in Morocco from Marrakech!
