Morocco itinerary: private routes from 4 to 14 days

Choose the length of your trip and start from a real route. Each one is private, with your own driver-guide, and can be adjusted before you travel.

How many days do you need in Morocco?

A good Morocco itinerary starts with the number of days, because distances are long and the best places are far apart. Four to six days is enough for one region done well, usually Marrakech and the Sahara, or Fez and the desert. It is a short trip, but it works if you decide what to leave out.

A week covers the imperial cities and a night in the Sahara if you accept some long driving days. Ten days is the length most first-time visitors enjoy most, since it fits the Atlas, the desert, Fez and the coast without a hard drive every day. Two weeks lets you slow down, with two nights in the main cities and a full day in the dunes.

Where you start matters as well, because a route that begins in Marrakech and ends in Fez saves you a day of backtracking. Every itinerary below says where it begins and ends, and we can start in Marrakech, Fez, Casablanca or Tangier.
