5 Days from Casablanca to Marrakech — Chefchaouen & Fes

A working draft: every day can be lengthened, shortened or swapped once we know what matters most to you.

1. Day1

   Casablanca → Marrakech → Aït Ben Haddou → Dadès Valley

   After an early transfer from Casablanca, cross the High Atlas via the Tizi n'Tichka pass, stopping at the hilltop Telouet Kasbah and the earthen ksar of Aït Ben Haddou. Continue through the Skoura oasis and the Valley of Roses to Kalaat M'Gouna, arriving in the Dadès Valley for the night.

   

2. Day2

   Dadès Valley → Todgha Gorge → Merzouga (Sahara camp)

   Drive to Tinghir for a walk through Todgha Gorge, then continue east via Erfoud and the market town of Rissani to the edge of the Sahara. As the sun sets, ride a camel — or take a 4x4 — into the Erg Chebbi dunes for a traditional dinner and a night at a desert camp.

   

3. Day3

   Merzouga → Ziz Valley → Ifrane → Fes

   Watch the sunrise over the dunes before the long drive north through Errachidia and the palm-lined Ziz Valley to Midelt, then into Middle Atlas cedar forest. Pass through the alpine town of Ifrane on the way down to Fes, arriving by evening.

   

4. Day4

   A full day in Fes

   A local guide leads you through the medieval medina — the Bou Inania madrasa, the Al-Qarawiyyin mosque and university, a working pottery village and the carved cedar gateways of Nejjarine Square — with views over the tanneries and past the gates of the royal palace.

5. Day5

   Fes → Rabat → Casablanca

   Head south to the capital, Rabat, for the Hassan Tower and the whitewashed Kasbah of the Udayas overlooking the Atlantic. From there it's a short run down the coast to Casablanca, where the tour ends with your drop-off.
