Tour Plan
Your Marrakech to Chefchaouen tour kicks off with a drive through the beautiful High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka Pass. As we climb higher, the landscapes shift from city buzz to peaceful mountain villages.
Our first major stop is Ait Ben Haddou, an ancient mud-brick kasbah that's starred in countless Hollywood films. After exploring the kasbah, we continue to Ouarzazate for a quick look at the famous Atlas Film Studios. By evening, we reach Boumalne Dades, where you’ll enjoy dinner and an overnight stay near the dramatic Dades Gorge.
After breakfast, we head along the Road of 1001 Kasbahs, filled with ancient ruins and oases. In Tinghir, we visit the lush palm groves and the impressive Todra Gorge, known for its towering cliffs.
Following lunch, we drive to Rissani, once a vital caravan town. By late afternoon, we reach the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi in Merzouga. Here, you’ll ride a camel through the sand dunes just as the sun begins to set—pure magic. Tonight, you’ll dine and sleep in a luxury desert camp under the stars, with Berber music by the fire.
Wake early to watch the sunrise paint the dunes in soft colors. After breakfast, we leave the desert and journey through the Ziz Valley, where palm trees stretch as far as the eye can see.
We stop in Midelt for lunch before crossing the cool Middle Atlas Mountains, passing through Azrou and Ifrane—known for their cedar forests and playful Barbary monkeys. We arrive in Fes by evening for a relaxing night in a traditional riad.
Fes is often called the spiritual and intellectual heart of Morocco—and for good reason. Today, you’ll dive deep into its maze-like medina, starting with a panoramic view from Borj Sud.
We visit the Royal Palace, Al-Qarawiyyin University, the Nejjarine Fountain, and countless souks and madrasas. Don’t worry—your local guide will help you navigate the ancient streets! The day ends back at your riad, with the evening free for you to explore or rest.
We leave Fes behind and make our way to Volubilis, Morocco’s best-preserved Roman site. The ancient mosaics and columns make for great photos and an unforgettable history lesson.
From there, we drive through the lush Rif Mountains, eventually reaching the peaceful blue-washed town of Chefchaouen. You’ll have time to explore its cozy medina, take photos at every corner, and enjoy a relaxed evening in this charming town.
Enjoy a slow morning in Chefchaouen. Grab a coffee in Plaza Uta el-Hammam, walk to the Spanish Mosque for a panoramic view, or browse the local artisan shops.
After lunch, we begin the final leg of your Marrakech to Chefchaouen tour, heading toward either Casablanca or Marrakech, depending on your travel plans.
This 6-day tour offers more than just sightseeing—it gives you stories, flavors, friendships, and moments that stay with you forever.
