Marrakech Express — 6 Days from Tangier

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

1. Day1

   Tangier → Cap Spartel → Chefchaouen

   Start at the meeting point of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, with a stop at Cap Spartel and the Hercules Caves, before climbing into the Rif Mountains. Arrive in Chefchaouen in time to wander its blue-washed lanes at dusk.

   

2. Day2

   Chefchaouen → Volubilis → Meknes → Fes

   Descend from the Rif to the Roman ruins of Volubilis, then the imperial city of Meknes and its grand Bab Mansour gate, before continuing to Fes for the night.

   

3. Day3

   A full day in Fes

   A local guide walks you through the medieval medina — the Bou Inania madrasa, the Al-Qarawiyyin mosque and university, a working pottery village and the carved gateways of Nejjarine Square.

4. Day4

   Fes → Ifrane → Merzouga (Sahara camp)

   Cross the Middle Atlas via the alpine town of Ifrane and its cedar forests, then drop toward the Sahara. As the sun sets, ride a camel into the Erg Chebbi dunes for dinner and a night under canvas at a desert camp.

   

5. Day5

   Merzouga → Todgha Gorge → Dadès Valley

   Rise for sunrise over the dunes, then drive west to Tinghir for a walk through Todgha Gorge's towering canyon walls. Continue along the valley road to the Dadès Valley for the night.

6. Day6

   Dadès Valley → Ouarzazate → Aït Ben Haddou → Marrakech

   Take the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs to Ouarzazate, with a stop at the film studios, then the UNESCO ksar of Aït Ben Haddou and the Telouet Kasbah. Cross the High Atlas via the Tizi n'Tichka pass into Marrakech, where the tour ends.
