Day 1: Tangier Tetouan Chefchaouen

Your 7 Days Tour From Tangier to Marrakech adventure begins with pickup at your port, hotel, or airport in Tangier. We travel first to Tetouan, the “White Dove,” where Andalusian charm blends with Moroccan tradition. Explore the Spanish Quarter, Hassan II Square, and the Royal Palace before continuing into the Rif Mountains.

In the afternoon, arrive in the famed blue city of Chefchaouen, nestled between two mountain peaks. Enjoy free time to stroll the narrow lanes, explore artisan shops, and sip mint tea on a rooftop terrace. Dinner and overnight in a charming riad.

Day 2: Chefchaouen → Meknes → Volubilis → Fes

Departing Chefchaouen after breakfast, the road leads south toward the imperial city of Meknes, once the proud capital of Sultan Moulay Ismail’s 17th-century kingdom. Discover the city’s grandeur with stops at Bab Mansour, one of the most famous and ornate gates in North Africa, and the tranquil Sahrij Souani Basin, originally built to store water and grain. You’ll also explore the Moulay Ismail Mausoleum, a masterpiece of Moroccan architecture and sacred site. The journey continues to Volubilis, Morocco’s best-preserved Roman archaeological site and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk among ancient mosaics, triumphal arches, and stone columns as your guide shares tales of Roman life and lost civilizations. Before arriving in Fes, pause briefly in Moulay Idriss Zerhoun, one of Morocco’s most spiritual towns, perched on twin hills. Arrive in Fes by evening, where you’ll settle into a beautifully restored riad in the medina and enjoy a delicious dinner in this historic city.

Day 3: Fes – Guided City Tour

Today is entirely dedicated to discovering the cultural and spiritual heartbeat of Morocco—Fes, one of the oldest and most fascinating cities in the Islamic world. Begin your exploration with a panoramic view from the Royal Palace gates, followed by a walk through the Mellah (Jewish Quarter), offering a window into the city’s diverse past. Stroll through the peaceful Jnan Sbil Gardens, a green haven in the midst of the city. Dive into the labyrinthine medina of Fes el-Bali, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where centuries of history unfold in narrow alleys alive with craftsmen, spice vendors, and curious donkeys delivering goods. Visit the Al-Qarawiyyin University, founded in 859 AD and recognized as the world’s oldest university, and marvel at stunning madrasas like Bou Inania and Al-Attarine. Witness traditional tanning processes at the famous Chouara Tannery, where vibrant dye vats create a kaleidoscope of color. The day is filled with authentic encounters and timeless beauty. Return to your riad in the evening for a relaxing overnight stay.

Continue through the Middle Atlas Mountains to Midelt for lunch. Drive along the dramatic Ziz Valley, with thousands of palm trees and ksars lining the road. Pass through Erfoud—famous for its fossils—before reaching the Sahara.

In Merzouga, your camel awaits! Ride through the magical dunes of Erg Chebbi as the sun sets. Arrive at your luxury desert camp for dinner, Berber drumming, stargazing, and an unforgettable night under the stars.

Wake up early to witness the unforgettable sunrise over the dunes, followed by breakfast at your desert camp. Depart for Rissani, stopping along the way for photos and market visits.

 Depart to the awe-inspiring Todra Gorges. Towering limestone cliffs rise over 300 meters, creating a natural wonder ideal for a short walk and some memorable photos. Journey onward through the spectacular Dades Valley, also known as the Route of a Thousand Kasbahs, passing fields, kasbah ruins, and lush oases.

After lunch, embark on the thrilling journey across the Tizi n’Tichka Pass, the highest in Morocco at 2,260 meters. The views of the High Atlas Mountains are simply spectacular, with winding roads, terraced fields, and Berber villages dotting the hillsides.

Visit the serene Majorelle Garden, once owned by Yves Saint Laurent, and marvel at the majestic Koutoubia Mosque, the largest in Marrakech. Step into history at the ornate Bahia Palace and the Saadian Tombs, each a testament to Morocco’s rich architectural heritage. Wander through the colorful souks, where artisans craft everything from spices to carpets and lanterns.

Contact & Booking:

How can i book the 7 Days Tour From Tangier to Marrakech?

You can book the tour by contacting us. It is not possible to book directly for different reasons. First, we are specialized in private tours; therefore, we need to check if you would like to book the tour as it is or you have special requirements. Second, the price varies from one situation to another. Consequently, we need to give you the full details before you book. These are the main reasons why we like to contact us first.

Why there is no one price for the 7 Days Tour From Tangier to Marrakech?

There is no one price because the tour is not a shared tour. The price varies based on the number of travelers, the type of accommodations, the itinerary…etc. for example, the price of 4 people traveling together will be cheaper than the price of two people. The reason behind that is that the 4 people share the car, the driver, and the guides, so logically the price per person will be cheaper. In addition, the type of accommodation also influences the price. A traveler asking for 5-star hotels will pay more than someone asking for 3 stars… Normally, we calculate the costs of each service before we deliver our quotation.
