Itinerary
Your 6 days in Marrakech itinerary begins with a scenic drive through the towering High Atlas Mountains via the famous Tizi n'Tichka pass. Along the way, panoramic views and authentic Berber villages dot the journey. The first major stop is the spectacular Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a UNESCO-listed village of mudbrick homes famous for its film appearances and ancient charm.
We’ll continue on to Ouarzazate, known as the “Gateway to the Sahara,” and visit its fascinating kasbahs. Then, passing through the aromatic Roses Valley, we’ll arrive in Boumalne Dades by evening. There, you’ll unwind in a cozy hotel surrounded by red cliffs and surreal rock formations.
After breakfast, we journey deeper into Morocco’s rugged southeast, heading toward Tinghir and the breathtaking Todra Gorges. Towering rock walls and a tranquil river provide a perfect backdrop for walking and photography.
Next, we pass through Erfoud, famous for fossils and Saharan culture, before arriving at the magical dunes of Erg Chebbi. Here, your desert experience begins with a camel ride across golden sands. You’ll arrive at a luxury desert camp just in time for sunset, followed by a traditional dinner and a night under the stars.
Today is all about discovering the unique lifestyle of Merzouga and nearby Hassi Labied. Meet local families, learn about desert traditions, and visit small villages framed by endless dunes.
You’ll also have the chance to try sandboarding or enjoy mint tea with a nomadic Berber family. The day moves at your pace, offering a rare chance to embrace the rhythm of desert life. Another night in the Merzouga area allows you to soak in the stillness and magic of the Sahara.
Continue your Morocco travel north through the Middle Atlas Mountains, where landscapes shift dramatically. Stop in Midelt, a mountain town known for its apples and minerals, before continuing to the cedar forests of Azrou.
Take time to enjoy the fresh mountain air and watch for playful Barbary macaques. We then head to Ifrane, a peaceful alpine town nicknamed “Little Switzerland” for its European architecture. Finally, we arrive in the imperial city of Fes, where you’ll rest in a traditional riad.
Today, we dive into Fes, a living museum of Moroccan history. Wander its ancient Medina with a local guide, discovering mosques, madrasas, souks, and the iconic Chouara tanneries. Visit the University of Al Quaraouiyine the world’s oldest and witness the city’s artisan traditions.
As you explore the vibrant alleyways, your guide will share stories that breathe life into every stone and souk. This deep dive into Fes offers an authentic window into Morocco’s cultural heritage.
On the final day of your 6 days in Marrakech itinerary, we set off toward Morocco’s largest city of Casablanca. Along the way, reflect on your morocco trip itinerary through mountains, deserts, and imperial cities.
