Your 7 Days Morocco Tour Itinerary From Casablanca
This suggested 7 day itinerary from Casablanca balances iconic destinations with a realistic route toward the Sahara and Marrakech. Driving times can be long on some days. We can adjust the plan for your arrival time, walking pace, accommodation and preferred experiences.
Casablanca, Rabat and Chefchaouen
Begin with pickup from Casablanca airport, your hotel or an agreed meeting point. If your arrival time allows, see the exterior area of the Hassan II Mosque and enjoy a short introduction to Casablanca.
Continue north toward Rabat, Morocco’s capital. Possible sightseeing includes Hassan Tower, the surrounding historic monuments and the Kasbah of the Udayas. Take time for a view of the Bouregreg area before continuing toward the Rif Mountains.
Arrive in Chefchaouen later in the day and check into your traditional riad or hotel. An evening walk can be arranged if you still have energy.
Overnight: Chefchaouen. Route focus: Casablanca, Rabat and arrival in the Blue City.
Explore Chefchaouen, Morocco’s Blue City
Spend the day discovering Chefchaouen Medina and its blue-painted lanes. Walk through colourful streets, look for traditional doors and arches, browse local markets and enjoy Moroccan mint tea at a relaxed pace.
Depending on your interests, visit Plaza Uta el-Hammam, the Kasbah area, Ras El Maa and a viewpoint over the Rif Mountains. This is also a good day for photography, local crafts and a meal in a small Moroccan restaurant.
Chefchaouen has slopes, steps and uneven surfaces. Comfortable footwear is important, and the route can be shortened for children, seniors or travellers with mobility needs.
Overnight: Chefchaouen. Route focus: Blue streets, medina, markets, views and local culture.
See our Chefchaouen Blue City tour page for more destination ideas.
Chefchaouen to Fes
Leave Chefchaouen after breakfast and travel through northern Morocco toward Fes. The scenic route gradually changes from Rif Mountain landscapes to the historic cultural centre of the country.
After arriving in Fes, check into your riad or hotel. Use the evening for rest, a rooftop view, a gentle walk near your accommodation or a traditional hammam experience.
Because the following day is dedicated to Fes sightseeing, keeping this evening relaxed helps you enjoy the medina with more energy.
Overnight: Fes. Route focus: scenic transfer and riad arrival.
Fes to Merzouga via Ifrane and the Middle Atlas
Travel south through the Middle Atlas Mountains. Stop in Ifrane for a short break and continue toward the Azrou Cedar Forest when access and conditions allow.
You may see Barbary macaques in the forest area, but wildlife sightings are never guaranteed. Continue through Midelt and the changing mountain landscapes toward the Ziz Valley.
As the landscape becomes drier, you will approach the Merzouga desert region and Erg Chebbi dunes. This is a long driving day, so planned breaks and a comfortable private vehicle are valuable.
Overnight: Merzouga area. Route focus: Ifrane, Azrou, Midelt, Ziz Valley and desert arrival.
Merzouga Sahara Desert to Dades Valley
Wake early for sunrise over the Sahara if weather and timing allow. After breakfast, begin the desert experience with camel trekking across the Erg Chebbi dunes. Travellers who prefer not to ride can ask about a 4x4 transfer.
Return toward Merzouga or meet your vehicle, then continue through Rissani and the landscapes around Tinghir. Visit Todra Gorge if time, road conditions and your group’s energy allow.
Continue into the Dades Valley, known for rugged rock formations, kasbahs and changing colours. The combination of camel trekking, Sahara scenery, Todra Gorge and Dades Valley makes this one of the most memorable days of the route.
Overnight: Dades Valley or agreed nearby accommodation. Route focus: Sahara sunrise, camel ride, Rissani, Todra Gorge and Dades.
Explore our Merzouga desert experience and luxury desert camp options.
Dades Valley to Marrakech via Ait Ben Haddou
Continue through the Valley of Roses and toward Ouarzazate. Depending on the season, you may see changing colours, village life and wide southern landscapes along the road.
Visit Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a historic earthen settlement and one of Morocco’s most recognisable cultural sites. Walk through the old village at a comfortable pace and learn how its architecture reflects the southern environment.
Continue across the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka route. Viewpoints and breaks can be added when safe and practical. Arrive in Marrakech later in the day and settle into your riad or hotel.
Overnight: Marrakech. Route focus: Valley of Roses, Ouarzazate, Ait Ben Haddou and the High Atlas.
Read about the Ait Ben Haddou tour route for more information.
Marrakech Sightseeing and Departure
Use your final morning for a focused Marrakech sightseeing experience. Depending on your flight or onward travel time, visit Jemaa el-Fna, see the Koutoubia Mosque from outside, explore a section of the Marrakech Medina or browse the souks.
With a later departure, you may add Bahia Palace, a garden, a rooftop lunch or a local guide-led walk. Your private driver can then arrange Marrakech airport transfer, hotel drop-off or another agreed destination.
If you need to return to Casablanca, discuss an extension or private transfer before booking because the suggested route ends in Marrakech.
Tour ending: Marrakech airport, hotel or agreed drop-off. Route focus: Marrakech Medina, Jemaa el-Fna and departure planning.
Explore our Marrakech tour experiences for additional ideas.
Tour Highlights You Will Remember
Seven days in Morocco can feel full but rewarding when the route follows a sensible direction. Instead of travelling randomly between cities, this itinerary moves from Casablanca north to Chefchaouen, then south through Fes and the desert before crossing to Marrakech.
- See Morocco’s Atlantic, northern, imperial and southern landscapes.
- Experience three contrasting medinas: Chefchaouen, Fes and Marrakech.
- Enjoy private transport rather than managing unfamiliar connections.
- Spend time in the Sahara with camel trekking and desert camping.
- Discover Amazigh culture, Moroccan craftsmanship and traditional food.

Sahara Desert Experience in Merzouga
Many travellers wonder whether the Sahara is worth fitting into a 7 day Morocco itinerary. For many people, it is the part they remember most: golden dunes, a camel ride, a quiet sunset, a traditional dinner and a sky filled with stars.
The desert experience can include camel trekking across Erg Chebbi, arrival at a desert camp, Moroccan tea, dinner, traditional music and an overnight stay. Wake early for sunrise before returning to your vehicle or Merzouga accommodation.
Ask about standard or luxury desert camp accommodation, private tents, bathroom facilities, dinner, breakfast, sandboarding and 4x4 alternatives. If anyone in your group has mobility concerns, tell us before the route is confirmed.
