15 Day Morocco Tour from Casablanca: Day-by-Day Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival in Casablanca and Drive to Rabat
Your driver welcomes you at Mohammed V Airport. First, you visit the Hassan II Mosque, which stands on the Atlantic shore. Moreover, its minaret rises 210 metres above the ocean.
Then you drive about one hour north to Rabat. Here you see the Hassan Tower and the blue-and-white lanes of the Kasbah of the Udayas. In the evening, you relax at your hotel in the medina.
Day 2: Rabat to Meknes, Volubilis and Fes
After breakfast, you drive east to Meknes, the city of Sultan Moulay Ismail. There, you also stop at Bab Mansour, one of the grandest gates in Morocco. Then you continue to Volubilis, a Roman city on the UNESCO list.
At Volubilis, you then walk among columns, a triumphal arch and floor mosaics. Afterwards, you drive on to Fes and reach your riad in the late afternoon. In the evening, you can take a first short walk in the medina.
Day 3: Guided Tour of the Fes Medina
After breakfast, a local guide leads you through the Medina of Fez, a UNESCO site since 1981. First, you see the golden gates of the Royal Palace and the old Jewish quarter, the Mellah. Then you enter the car-free lanes of Fes el-Bali.
Along the way, you look into Al Quaraouiyine, founded in 859, and watch the Chouara tannery from a terrace. In the afternoon, you also visit a ceramics workshop where artisans cut zellige by hand. Finally, you return to your riad for dinner.
Day 4: Fes to Ifrane, the Cedar Forest and Midelt
After breakfast, you drive into the Middle Atlas to Ifrane, often called “Little Switzerland”. Its chalet-style houses and clean parks feel very different from the medina, especially in winter. Then you cross the cedar forest near Azrou, home to Barbary macaques.
In the afternoon, you reach Midelt, a quiet town at the foot of the High Atlas. Here you then spend the night in a guesthouse with mountain views. As a result, the long drive to the Sahara is split into two easy days.
Day 5: Midelt to Merzouga, Gateway to the Sahara
After breakfast, the road crosses the Tizi n’Talghemt pass and enters the Ziz Gorges. Then you follow the long palm groves of the Ziz Valley past Errachidia and Erfoud. In the late afternoon, you reach the dunes of Merzouga.
Here you share mint tea before a camel ride into Erg Chebbi begins. Later, you enjoy dinner under the stars at your desert camp. Finally, you sleep in a private tent among the dunes.
Day 6: A Full Day in the Sahara
If you wake early, you can watch the sunrise from the top of a dune. After breakfast, you join a camel trek deeper into the dunes. On the way, you also meet a nomad family and share tea in their tent.
In the afternoon, you can rest at camp, try sandboarding or visit the Gnawa musicians of Khamlia. Then you climb a dune again to watch the sunset over Erg Chebbi. Finally, the evening ends with dinner, drums and stars.
Day 7: Merzouga to the Todra Gorge and the Dades Valley
After breakfast, you leave the desert and drive west to the Todra Gorge. Here, rock walls rise up to about 300 metres, while a clear stream runs below. Then you take a short walk through the narrowest part of the canyon.
Then you continue to the Dades Valley for lunch and photos. Along the road, you then see the rounded rocks known as the “Monkey Fingers”. In the evening, you check in to a guesthouse above the valley.
Day 8: Road of a Thousand Kasbahs to Ouarzazate
After breakfast, you follow the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs through the Valley of Roses. In the Skoura oasis, you visit Kasbah Amridil, a restored family kasbah with a small museum. Interestingly, it once appeared on the old 50-dirham banknote.
After lunch, you reach Ouarzazate, the film capital of Morocco. There, you visit Atlas Studios, where many international films used sets. Finally, you spend the night at your hotel in town.
Day 9: Ouarzazate to Taroudant
After breakfast, you drive south-west across the Anti-Atlas plateau. On the way, you pass Taliouine, a town known for its saffron fields. By the afternoon, you reach Taroudant, often called “Little Marrakech”.
Although it is small, Taroudant has long ochre ramparts and a calm, local medina. So you can walk through its two souks without the crowds of larger cities. In the evening, you check in to your riad.
Day 10: Taroudant to Essaouira on the Atlantic Coast
After breakfast, you drive west towards the ocean and then north along the coast. In the afternoon, you reach Essaouira, a fortified port with white houses and blue shutters. Its medina has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001.
Here you walk along the Skala ramparts while the waves crash below the old cannons. Then you settle into your riad inside the walls. In the evening, the harbour is perfect for fresh grilled fish.
Day 11: Exploring Essaouira
Today is a slower day by the sea. In the morning, a local guide shows you the medina, the Mellah and the thuya wood workshops. Then you also visit the busy fishing port and its blue boats.
In the afternoon, you can walk on the long beach or watch the kitesurfers. Otherwise, you can shop for jewellery and art in the galleries. Because the trade wind blows often, a light jacket is useful even in summer.
Day 12: Essaouira to Marrakech via the Argan Country
After breakfast, you leave the coast and drive inland through the argan forest. On the way, you stop at a women’s cooperative that makes argan oil by hand. Here you can also taste amlou and buy oil or cosmetics directly from the makers.
Later, the landscape opens into wide plains before Marrakech. Soon, you reach your riad in the early afternoon. Then you have free time to rest or take a first walk in the medina.
Day 13: Guided Tour of Marrakech
After breakfast, your local guide shows you the Medina of Marrakesh. First, you visit the Saadian Tombs and the painted courtyards of Bahia Palace. Then you see the minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque from its gardens.
In the afternoon, you can visit the Majorelle Garden or explore the souks. As the sun goes down, Jemaa el-Fna Square fills with musicians, storytellers and food stalls. Finally, you return to your riad for dinner.
Day 14: Day Trip to Imlil and the High Atlas
After breakfast, you drive about 90 minutes to Imlil, a mountain village below Jbel Toubkal. Indeed, at 4,167 metres, Toubkal is the highest peak in North Africa. On the way, you pass Berber villages with terraced fields and walnut trees.
In Imlil, you can take an easy walk to nearby villages or simply enjoy lunch with a view. Meanwhile, you see how families still live from farming in the valley. In the late afternoon, you return to Marrakech.
Day 15: Departure from Marrakech
After breakfast, you have free time depending on your flight. Meanwhile, you can shop for last souvenirs or relax in the riad courtyard. Then your driver takes you to Marrakech Menara Airport. This marks the end of your 15 day Morocco tour from Casablanca.
Expert tip from our driver-guides
Two weeks pass quickly, so plan one slow afternoon in each region. In addition, bring a warm layer for both the Sahara and Essaouira, because nights and sea winds can be cool. Finally, keep small change in dirhams for tips, toilets and mint tea on the road.
