Ten days is the ideal length for a complete tour of Morocco — enough time to combine the imperial cities, the Sahara Desert, the Blue City, and the coast without rushing. This 10 days Morocco itinerary loops from Marrakech through the dunes of Merzouga, up to Fes and Chefchaouen, and back via the great cities of the north — designed by local experts at Morocco Tours Expert.
Arrive in the Red City and settle into your riad. On day two, a guided tour reveals the highlights of Marrakech — the Jemaa el-Fnaa square, the souks, the Bahia Palace, the Saadian Tombs, and the Majorelle Garden — with time to relax on a rooftop as the city glows at sunset.
Cross the High Atlas via the Tizi n’Tichka pass, stopping at the UNESCO ksar of Ait Benhaddou and the film city of Ouarzazate, before continuing along the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs to the Dades Valley.
Walk through the dramatic Todra Gorge, then drive to Merzouga and the Erg Chebbi dunes. Ride a camel into the sand at sunset to reach your desert camp for dinner, Berber music, and a night beneath the stars.
Catch the sunrise over the dunes, then travel north through the palm-lined Ziz Valley and the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas, arriving in Fes in the evening.
Spend a full day exploring Fes el Bali with a local guide — the Chouara tanneries, the historic madrasas, the Al-Qarawiyyin University, and the endless artisan souks of the world’s largest car-free medina.
Drive through the Rif Mountains to Chefchaouen, Morocco’s Blue City. Wander its blue-washed lanes, shop for local crafts, and climb to the Spanish Mosque for a sunset view over the medina.
Travel south to the capital, Rabat, to see the Kasbah of the Udayas and the Hassan Tower, then continue to Casablanca for the night.
Visit the magnificent Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca before driving back to Marrakech, completing the loop. Your final day is reserved for last-minute shopping or relaxation before your departure transfer.
Have a couple of extra days? Add the breezy Atlantic town of Essaouira to the end of your trip — a relaxed seaside finale of ramparts, fresh seafood, and sea air, just three hours from Marrakech.
This private itinerary includes a dedicated driver-guide, comfortable air-conditioned vehicle, desert camp and hotel accommodation, camel trek, city guides, and daily breakfasts. You can upgrade to luxury riads and camps, add the coast, or adjust the route and pace. Browse our Sahara desert tours for more ideas.
Ten days hits the sweet spot — enough to experience the UNESCO medinas of Marrakech and Fes, ride camels in the Sahara, photograph Chefchaouen, and see the imperial cities, all at a comfortable pace. With more time, our 14 day Morocco itinerary adds the coast and the deep south, while the 7 day itinerary is a great shorter loop.
Spring (March–May) and autumn (September–November) offer the most comfortable weather across every region. Winter is good for the cities, with cold desert and mountain nights, while summer is hot inland — the coast and the cooler hours of the day provide relief.
