Morocco Itinerary 12 Days
12 days of Morocco from Casablanca — Tangier, Fes, Merzouga and Marrakech — with your private car and driver throughout.
More detailsA 1-week Morocco itinerary with a private driver is the sweet spot for a first visit — seven days is enough to combine two imperial cities, the High Atlas, the Sahara and a taste of the coast, all at a comfortable pace. The classic loop runs Marrakech → desert → Fes (or the reverse), so you never drive the same road twice.
Use the outline below as a starting point; we'll tailor every day to you.
Two imperial cities
Marrakech and Fes, the country's cultural heavyweights.
The Sahara
A camel trek and a night in the dunes at Merzouga.
Atlas & gorges
Aït Benhaddou, Todra and Dades on the kasbah road.
One-way loop
No backtracking — a start and finish in different cities.
A suggested one-week route
Days 1–2: Marrakech — city sights and an Atlas or Agafay day trip. Day 3: Over the Atlas to Aït Benhaddou and the Dades Valley. Day 4: Todra Gorge to Merzouga; camel trek and desert camp. Day 5: Ziz Valley and cedar forests to Fes. Days 6–7: Fes medina, plus Meknes and Volubilis.
Variations
Want the coast instead of a second city? Swap Fes for Essaouira. Travelling with kids? We'll shorten the driving days. Short on desert time? We'll prioritise Merzouga. The week bends to your priorities.

More detailsFrequently asked questions
Is one week enough for Morocco?
Yes — a week comfortably covers Marrakech, the desert and Fes, the classic first-timer's route. Ten days adds Chefchaouen or the coast.
Should we start in Marrakech or Fes?
Either works; a one-way loop between them is ideal. We'll advise based on your flights.
How much driving is involved?
The longest days are the desert crossings (5–7 hours with stops). We break them up with sights so they never feel like a slog.
