Continue along the coast to Tangier, a city that connects Africa and Europe. You can walk along the port or enjoy views of the Strait of Gibraltar.
Spend the morning discovering Tangier at your own pace. You can explore the medina, visit the Caves of Hercules, or see Cape Spartel, where the Atlantic and Mediterranean meet. In the afternoon, your private driver will take you through the Rif Mountains to reach Chefchaouen, the ‘Blue City.’
Enjoy a relaxing day in Chefchaouen, known for its blue-painted houses and narrow alleys. You can visit the Kasbah Museum, enjoy a mint tea in the main square, or walk up to the Spanish Mosque for a stunning sunset view. The city has a calm and artistic atmosphere that makes it one of the most loved towns in Morocco.
After breakfast, leave Chefchaouen and head south. Stop to explore Volubilis, an ancient Roman site dating back to the 3rd century BC and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its ruins include beautiful mosaics, temples, and arches that tell stories of Roman life in North Africa. Continue to Fes, one of Morocco’s oldest and most culturally rich imperial cities.
Spend the day exploring Fes on your own. Founded in the 8th century, it’s home to the Al Quaraouiyine University, the oldest in the world still in operation. You can visit the Bou Inania Madrasa, Royal Palace, and Jewish Quarter (Mellah). The medina is full of traditional workshops making pottery, leather, and brass goods — a great place to walk and shop.

Enjoy a relaxed day exploring the Merzouga Desert and its surroundings. You can visit Khamlia, a village known for its African Gnawa music, or explore Rissani, the birthplace of Morocco’s royal family and a traditional market town. You can also see fossil sites, desert oases, and nomadic families living in tents.
Leave Merzouga in the morning and travel toward Tinghir. Stop at the Todra Gorges, a natural canyon with high red cliffs and a small river flowing through it — a great place for short walks and photos. Continue to the Dades Valley, known for its rock formations, green fields, and scenic road turns.
After breakfast, drive through the Valley of Roses and continue to Ouarzazate, called the ‘Hollywood of Africa’ for its movie studios.

In the afternoon, cross the High Atlas Mountains through the Tizi n’Tichka Pass and arrive in Marrakech by evening.
Take a full day to explore Marrakech, the ‘Red City.’ You can visit the Koutoubia Mosque, Bahia Palace, and Saadian Tombs, or walk around the colorful souks. The Jemaa el-Fna Square is the heart of the city, full of local food, music, and daily life. If you prefer nature, visit the Majorelle Garden, one of the most beautiful gardens in Morocco.

A private driver is responsible for your transportation, comfort, and logistics, getting you safely from one location to another. They can provide general information and recommendations. An official local guide is licensed to accompany you inside monuments and museums, providing detailed historical and cultural context. For a deeper understanding in cities like Fes and Marrakech, we can arrange a local guide for a few hours at an additional cost.
This itinerary is designed with significant flexibility. The driving routes and overnight stops are fixed, but your time in each location is yours to control. You can choose which sites to visit, how long to spend there, and where to eat. Your driver is there to facilitate your plans, not to rush you through a rigid schedule.
When visiting mosques and other religious sites, modest dress is required for both men and women. This typically means covering shoulders, chest, and knees. While the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca is more lenient with tourists, it still maintains a dress code. Carrying a scarf is a good idea for women. Your driver can provide specific guidance before each visit.
This wasn’t a rushed tour; it was a proper journey. Having our own car and driver let us follow our curiosity, whether that meant spending an extra hour in a café in Chefchaouen or stopping to take pictures of the stunning mountain passes. The route was perfectly planned to show us the amazing diversity of the country.
We loved having the framework of the trip taken care of—the driving and hotels were seamless—but we never felt herded around. Our driver was fantastic, offering suggestions but never imposing. The day trips from Marrakech to the waterfalls and the coast were the perfect way to break up the city stay.
From the silence of the desert to the chaos of the Marrakech souks, this trip had it all. The 12 days allowed us to settle into the rhythm of travel without feeling rushed. It was the perfect way to experience Morocco for the first time, and our driver felt like a friend by the end.
