Day-by-day plan of this private Morocco tour from Casablanca to Marrakech, over 15 days.
Your 15 days in Morocco start in Casablanca, the economic capital of the country. Your driver picks you up at the airport, the train station or your hotel. The first visit is the Hassan II Mosque, built on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean and one of the largest mosques in the world, with remarkable craftsmanship inside and out. We continue to the Habous quarter and its shops, then drive along the Corniche by the sea, a good place for a seafood lunch. You spend the night at your hotel in Casablanca.
After breakfast we drive north along the coast to Rabat, the capital of Morocco. You see the Hassan Tower, the unfinished minaret of a 12th century mosque, and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V next to it, then walk through the Kasbah of the Udayas, with its white and blue lanes above the mouth of the river. In the evening you check in to your riad in the medina of Rabat, where a traditional Moroccan dinner is served.
After breakfast we leave Rabat for Meknes, the imperial city of Sultan Moulay Ismail. You see the famous Bab Mansour gate, the Sahrij Souani water basin and the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail. After a break for lunch we drive to Volubilis, where the well preserved buildings, mosaics and Roman road still show the layout of the old Roman city. Crossing the countryside, we stop to photograph the holy town of Moulay Idriss on its hillside. We reach Fes in the evening for dinner and the night at your riad.
Today is for Fes, the oldest of the imperial cities, with its own colours, smells and atmosphere. After breakfast we start at the Royal Palace and its seven brass doors framed with mosaic tiles, then visit the old Jewish quarter, the Mellah, and the Jnan Sbil garden. With a local guide you walk into the old medina: the Chouara tannery, where leather is still dyed with natural colours by skilled craftsmen, the Al Qarawiyyin mosque and university, the Bou Inania medersa and the Al Attarine medersa, built by the Marinid sultan Abu Said Uthman. Dinner and the night are at your riad.
We leave Fes after breakfast and drive south across the Middle Atlas, with wide views of mountains and cold rivers. We pass Imouzzer and stop in Ifrane, known as the little Switzerland of Morocco, and in the cedar forest near Azrou, home of the Barbary macaques. After Midelt, a small town known for its minerals and fossils, the road follows the Ziz valley to Erfoud, where you rest at your hotel.
After breakfast we drive through Rissani, the old market town of the Tafilalet, to the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes. On the way you see the black tents of nomad families, and we stop with one of them for tea to see how life in the desert looks. We also visit Khamlia, a small village known for its Gnawa music. After a break for lunch and some rest, you ride a camel into the high dunes of Merzouga to watch the sunset, then spend the night in a luxury desert camp under the stars.
Wake up early for a camel ride at sunrise, when the first light changes the colours of the dunes. Back at the camp you have breakfast and time to get ready, then we drive west to Tinghir and the Todra Gorge, a narrow canyon between high rock walls where you can walk along the river. In the evening we reach the Dades Valley for dinner and the night at your hotel.
After breakfast we follow the Dades Valley, the road of a thousand kasbahs, with stops for photos along the way. We meet Berber families who live in caves in the valley, then cross the Valley of Roses to Kalaat M’Gouna, the town of roses, and its rock formations. Through the Skoura oasis we visit the Kasbah Amridil before arriving in Ouarzazate for the night.
In the morning you discover Ouarzazate, the gateway to the desert, and its film studios: films and series such as Gladiator, Babel and Game of Thrones were shot in this region. Then we drive west through Taliouine, the town of saffron, and the Souss valley to Taroudant, a market town inside red earth ramparts, often called the little Marrakech. After a walk in its souks we continue to Agadir on the Atlantic coast, where you spend the night.
A free day in Agadir to rest by the ocean after the long roads of the south. You can walk along the beach promenade, visit the Souk El Had market or go up to the old kasbah of Agadir Oufella for the view over the bay. Dinner and the night are at your hotel in Agadir.
After breakfast we drive north along the Atlantic coast, past the surf village of Taghazout and long empty beaches. On the way we stop at an argan oil cooperative to see how the oil is made. In the afternoon we reach Essaouira, the windy port town with its white and blue medina, and you check in to your riad.
A full day in Essaouira. You walk through the medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site, along the Skala ramparts with their old cannons facing the ocean, and down to the fishing port, where the boats bring in the catch of the day. The town is also known for its thuya wood workshops and for its yearly Gnawa music festival. Dinner and the night are at your riad.
After breakfast we leave the coast and drive inland to Marrakech, about three hours through the argan country. You arrive in the early afternoon, with time to rest at your riad before an evening walk to Jemaa el Fna square.
Today is for Marrakech, the red city. With a local guide you spend the morning at the Koutoubia mosque, the Saadian Tombs, the Menara gardens and the Bahia Palace. After a break for lunch you explore the souks and the medina, and in the evening you enjoy the storytellers, musicians and food stalls of Jemaa el Fna square before dinner and the night at your riad.
Your last morning is free to relax or do some last shopping in the souks. At the agreed time your driver takes you to Marrakech airport or to your hotel, and your private tour ends.

14-days tailor made Morocco tour
Everything was organized perfectly, and the entire itinerary ran without a hitch. Even when our group size changed just 2 weeks before departure, they handled everything seamlessly. Our driver, Abdul, is punctual, attentive, and caring. Beyond being a reliable driver, he is rich in knowledge about history, culture, and local traditions
Morocco highlights
A very enjoyable and hassle-free 10-day private tour covering Asilah, Tangier, Chefchaouen, Fes, Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech, and Essaouira. Thank you to Siu Ha @ Fez Luxury Tour for the perfect arrangements! Our driver, Hafid, moved us between cities safely in a clean and comfortable new van whist sharing fascinating history and culture along the drive. The tour also included local guides who showed us around the Medinas in Fes and Marrakech, successfully leading us through the mazes! Without them, we might have been stuck in there forever. 😅 This was a fantastic taster of Morocco. If I return to Morocco in the future, I will definitely use Fez Luxury Tour service again, using Marrakech as a base, and to include an overnight stay in the Sahara Desert!

Unforgettable trip to Morocco
Just got back from a fantastic 10-day trip starting in Casablanca and hitting all the highlights like the Blue City, Fez, the Sahara, and Marrakech. The Riad and Hotels they arranged for us are also very nice and comfortable. Huge thanks to our amazing driver, Hafid, who made our journey so enjoyable. Hafid was incredibly polite, attentive, and helpful with everything we needed. The Van was always clean and very comfortable for our group of four. We had a brilliant time and would highly recommend this agency and Hafid to anyone planning a trip to Morocco!
4 days Luxury tour from Fes to Marrakesh
The whole experience was excellent, it was stress free and easy. From booking to pick up, tour and hotels were all excellent. Our driver/guide Ayoub was very helpful and accommodating. He was a very thoughtful and careful driver. He explained things, culture and places of interests to us throughout the trip. He also goes out of his way to help us at the end of our tour when getting to the hotel that I booked myself in Marrakesh . We did have a different guide on the second day of the desert doing the 4x4 expereince and he was also excellent. I highly recommend booking with Fes Luxury tour and using their service. Their cars were very comfortable and clean. It makes life so much easier. The hotel choices were also very good. Thank you for making our trip so much more enjoyable and stress free for us. If it hadn't been with Ayoub, I don't think we would had been able to navigate through the mayhem of the Rissini Sunday Market, it was interesting to see a real local market in action from farm cattles to produce to herbs to Toys, clothes , artesanía and daily white goods. What an eye opener.
12-days private tour in Morocco
Thank you to Siu Ha @ Fez Luxury Tour for the perfect arrangements! We thoroughly enjoyed our 12-days private tour in Morocco. Every attraction was unforgettable, especially riding ATVs and camels, and seeing a sky full of stars in the Sahara Desert. Each Riad and hotel had its own unique charm, and the staff were all extremely friendly. A huge shout-out to our driver, Hafid, his driving skills were exceptional. The seats in the van were clean and very comfortable, making the whole trip enjoyable for all of us. Even though the long-distance drives were lengthy, we didn't feel uncomfortable at all. On the road, various unexpected situations arose, but his high level of skill helped us avoid potential accidents, and his safe driving gave us absolute peace of mind. Although our trip to Morocco has come to an end, we are still reminiscing about the wonderful memories. Highly recommended!
Amazin Memory

A special thank you to our wonderful driver, Hafid, who was professional, friendly, and very helpful. We had an amazing time in Morocco and created many wonderful memories. Highly recommended! 🇲🇦❤️
Enjoyable and wonderful tour
We started our holiday in Seville and took the ferry from Tarifa, Spain to Tangier, Morocco. We found out not many private tours starting from Tangier. Luckily we found that Fes Luxury Tour has that service. We received quick response from the manager. She asked our plan and organized a stress free itinerary for us. Even though we spent a long time on the road, the car is comfortable and the driver was driving carefully on the whole 6 days’ journey. We are very happy for the tour and have no hesitation to recommend their services.
Nice and excellent
It is a really great trip. The most patient tour guide and driver ever! Nice and smooth schedule. It makes me want to come to Morocco 🇲🇦 again!
An absolute must!
What a great experience from start to finish. The communication and professionalism of this company is exceptional! Couldn’t fault the tour - our driver Mustapha was the best!! Well worth the money to get a real Moroccan experience. Would definitely do again.
