10 Days Grand Morocco Tour from Fes

Your Moroccan tour begins the moment you arrive in the nation’s spiritual and intellectual heart. Plunge into the ancient, labyrinthine medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site, discovering architectural marvels like the Al Quaraouiyine University and Bou Inania Madrasa. Lose yourself in the vibrant maze of the souks before retreating to the peaceful sanctuary of a traditional riad for the night.

Today, we journey from imperial city to the edge of the Sahara. We’ll traverse the scenic Middle Atlas Mountains, passing through charming Berber villages and vast cedar forests. As the landscape transforms, the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi will rise from the horizon. Here, your camel awaits to carry you into the sea of sand for a spectacular sunset before you settle into a luxurious desert camp under a celestial theater of stars.

We bid farewell to the dunes and journey towards the colossal rock walls of the Todra Gorge, a magnificent canyon where you can walk and feel dwarfed by nature’s power. Our path continues to the Dades Valley, a land of dramatic, Kasbah-topped rock formations and lush, life-giving oases, offering a stunning contrast to the desert sands.

Today’s journey takes us along the “Road of a Thousand Kasbahs” to Ouarzazate, Morocco’s cinematic capital. The main event is our exploration ofthe legendary Ait Ben Haddou, one of the most famous stops on many Morocco desert tours from Fes.

Prepare for one of the world’s most breathtaking drives as we conquer the High Atlas Mountains. We’ll navigate the serpentine Tizi n’Tichka Pass, stopping to absorb the awe-inspiring panoramic views. Descending from the peaks, we arrive in the vibrant “Red City” and plunge directly into the exhilarating energy of Jemaa el-Fna square, a living theater of storytellers, musicians, and performers.

Immerse yourself fully in the treasures of Marrakech. Today, we uncover the city’s artistic and royal heritage, from the opulent tilework of the Bahia Palace to the historic solemnity of the Saadian Tombs. We will admire the iconic silhouette of the Koutoubia Mosque and soak in the rich history that permeates every corner of this enchanting city.

From the ancient Red City, our journey shifts to the modern pulse of the coast. We travel to Casablanca, Morocco’s bustling economic hub. Here, we will visit the city’s undisputed crown jewel: the magnificent Hassan II Mosque, an architectural marvel that seems to rise directly from the Atlantic Ocean, showcasing the pinnacle of Moroccan craftsmanship.

Our grand loop back to Fez includes a stop in Rabat, the elegant capital of Morocco. We’ll visit the city’s key landmarks, including the commanding Hassan Tower and the grounds of the Royal Palace. This final leg of our journey offers a chance to reflect on the incredible diversity of landscapes and cities you’ve experienced before arriving back in Fez.
