10 Days Grand Morocco Tour from Fes
Fes → Merzouga (2 nights) → Todra → Dades → Ait Ben Haddou → Marrakech (2 nights) → Essaouira → Casablanca → Rabat → Meknes → Fes
Overview
Our grand tour from Fes begins with a guided day in Fes el-Bali before heading into the Middle Atlas and down to the Sahara, where you spend two nights near the Erg Chebbi dunes with a free day to enjoy the desert. The road of a thousand kasbahs then leads you through the Todra and Dades gorges to Ait Ben Haddou and across the High Atlas to Marrakech.
After two nights in Marrakech, you relax on the Atlantic in Essaouira before driving north via Casablanca and Rabat, then back to Fes through Meknes. It is a premium, balanced itinerary that leaves time to enjoy riads, hammams and long dinners, not just the road.
