8 Days

Overview of Morocco in 8 Days from Marrakech to Tangier

This 8 day in Morocco from Marrakech to Tangier via Fez is one of the best ways to experience Morocco’s most iconic landscapes in a single trip. During this 7 days/ 6 nights tour, we start from Marrakech, the Red City and one of Morocco’s imperial cities, and we will cross the High Atlas Mountains via Tizi n’Tichka pass (2,260 meters), stop at the legendary Ksar of Ait-Ben-Haddou (UNESCO-listed), where iconic films such as Gladiator, Game of Thrones, The Mummy, and Babel were filmed. Then, we will continue through Ouarzazate “Hollywood of Africa” and the oasis roads toward the Dades Valley. After that, we wil it’s on to the dramatic canyon walls of Todra Gorge, before heading the dunes of Erg Chebbi in Merzouga. There, you’ll ride a camel across the Erg Chebbi dunes, witness the sunset over the desert, and spend a night in a desert camp under the stars with dinner, drumming around a campfire.

Furthermore, we will visit Erfoud, known as the capital of dates and rich in fossils, then cross the Ziz Valley towards Midelt, the capital of apples, and the cedar forest of Azrou (often with Barbary macaques), and a stop in Ifrane, known for its clean streets and alpine feel, before arriving in Fez, the cultural capital of Morocco. Then, we’ll head to Meknes, one of the imperial cities, and visit the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis. Afterwards, we’ll drive to Chefchaouen, the Blue City, where we’ll wander its blue streets, and conclude our journey in Tangier.
