Casablanca → Marrakech → Sahara Desert → Fes → Chefchaouen
Our signature route covers everything first-time visitors want to see — imperial cities, the High Atlas, a night in the Sahara, and the blue-washed lanes of Chefchaouen — split across a full week and shared with a small group of fellow travelers.
Because the vehicle, guide, and most accommodation are shared, this loop covers far more ground per euro than booking each leg privately.
≈240 km · about 3 hrs driving. Group pickup in Casablanca with a short stop at the Hassan II Mosque, then on to Marrakech for the evening — free time to explore Jemaa el-Fnaa.
Guided walk through the medina, souks, Bahia Palace, and Majorelle Garden. Evening free to explore the food stalls of Jemaa el-Fnaa with the group.
≈210 km · about 3.5 hrs driving. Cross the Tizi n'Tichka pass, stop at the Ait Benhaddou kasbah, and continue through the Valley of Roses to the Dades Valley.
≈235 km total · about 4.5 hrs driving. Morning at the Dades Gorge, then across the Todra Gorge (≈55 km/1 hr) to Merzouga (≈180 km/3.5 hrs). Camel trek into the Erg Chebbi dunes for a night at the shared desert camp.
≈470 km · about 7.5 hrs driving. Sunrise over the dunes, then a scenic drive north through the Ziz Valley and Middle Atlas cedar forests, arriving in Fes by evening.
Optional add-on: ≈400 km round trip · about 7 hrs driving. Morning guided walk through the Fes el-Bali medina and tanneries, then an optional day trip to the blue-washed streets of Chefchaouen (≈200 km/3.5 hrs each way).
Free morning before your group transfer to Fes airport or train station. Trip ends.
Six nights, shared throughout. Expect the same style and price bracket as these real budget properties in each location.
A medina riad in the same bracket as Riad Jennah Rouge or Riad les Oliviers — dorm beds from around €15, walking distance to Jemaa el-Fnaa.
A simple kasbah-style guesthouse, comparable to Le Petit Riad (Ouarzazate) — mudbrick rooms and gorge-view terraces.
A shared Berber-style camp comparable to Hostel La Palmeraie or Nómade Nest Hostel — dorm tents, shared bathrooms, campfire music.
A budget medina hostel comparable to Moroccan Dream Hostel or Riad Verus — traditional courtyard house, shared or twin rooms.
If you take the Chefchaouen day trip, it's a day visit — no extra night needed, so you stay in Fes throughout.
Private rooms are available on every night as a paid upgrade — let us know at booking, subject to availability.
Groups are capped at 16 travelers. Departures run every Sunday year-round — book early for October–April, our busiest season.

No — it's offered as an optional add-on for travelers who want to see the blue city. Those who skip it have a free day in Fes instead.
Guided city walks in Marrakech and Fes cover a few kilometers over uneven medina streets. The camel trek is a gentle, non-strenuous ride.
