14-Day Grand Morocco Tour: Imperial Cities, Sahara and Coast

Overview

Our longest itinerary and the one for travellers who want to see Morocco once and see it well. Two weeks let us slow everything down: two nights in Chefchaouen, two in Fes, two in the desert (one in the camp, one in a kasbah at the edge of the dunes), a night facing Ait Ben Haddou, three nights in Marrakech and two in Essaouira.

The tour can start in Casablanca or Marrakech and we build it around your flights. Everything is private: the car, the driver, the guides and the pace.
