- Tour Plan :
Day 1: Arrival in Casablanca and Transfer to Rabat
Your Morocco Itinerary 9 Days starting at Casablanca will start with a warm warm welcome by your personal driver at Casablanca airport. First, we will see the magnificent Hassan II Mosque, the sheer size of the building with its sea view always amazes any first-time visitors making a strong first impression.
In the next moment, we are taken to the capital Rabat that provides an instant change of mood. Personally, I have found that tourists love the peaceful and upscale feel of Rabat, and the hustle and bustle of Casablanca, and relax in a beautiful riad.
Day 2: Rabat Exploration and Journey to Chefchaouen
The balancing of the history of the coast and the tranquility of the mountains is found today. Then we visit Rabat, where we visit the great Hassan Tower, Mausoleum of Mohammed V and the calm Kasbah of the Udayas.
Then off to the north over the picturesque Rif Mountains to the well known “Blue Pearl.” Proficiency: As soon as the first blue walls are seen in the background, magic always envelops the car. At last we get to Chefchaouen where you check into your lovely riad and are looking forward to the following day of your Morocco Itinerary 9 Days from Casablanca.
Day 3: Chefchaouen Exploration and Transfer to Fes
We finish the exploration of the cultures we do in the north and head south. First, you would have a guided tour of the blue medina of Chefchaouen.
I remember the freshness of the morning and the children playing and the sound was bouncing against the blue walls; therefore, the early light causes the colors to come out brightly. Then we are heading south, visiting the old Roman ruins of Volubilis and the Imperial City of Meknes and seeing the massive Bab Al Mansour gate. And lastly, there is Fes, the cultural center of your Itinerary 9 Days in Casablanca.
Day 4: Full Day Guided Exploration of Fes
Fes el-Bali is the oldest medina in Morocco, which provides an incredible cultural experience and needs certain time to be devoted to it. As such, a professional local guide welcomes you to take a tour around its complex and winding paths.
We go to the renowned Chouara Tannery and the old Al Quaraouiyine University. In addition, your guide shows you the secrets of the souks of the specialized artisans and the gates of the Royal Palace. The tourists usually refer to this day as the most transportative section of the Trips In Morocco, which will give them the real sense of the old life.
Day 5: Fes to Merzouga Desert—The Sahara Gateway
Today is the traditional picturesque ride that will take you to the sand dunes to the Imperial City. We first climb up the cool climate of the Middle Atlas Mountains.
We make a detachment to visit the playful Barbary Macaques of the cedar forests and to travel in the alpine style town of Ifrane. Then we pass through the big Ziz Valley, and land at Merzouga. Then lastly we get to meet the camels in the trip of a lifetime into the golden Dunes of Erg Chebbi, where you will be heading to your luxurious camp to spend the first night of your long stay in Morocco Desert Tours.
Day 6: Full Day Desert Exploration and Second Night
This special day makes the Morocco Itinerary 9 Days from Casablanca stand out, as it is possible to immerse in the desert. Then, we get up in order to watch the unbelievable sunrise on the dunes.
We then proceed to visit the nomad families and the village of Khamlia to listen to unique Gnawa music after breakfast; after that, on a 4×4 circuit around the Erg Chebbi region. This day is very insightful locally, and it is not as long as other tours. You can therefore spend as much time as you want sandboarding, quad biking or just have a peaceful rest then have your second peaceful night under the sky of countless stars.
Day 7: Merzouga to Dades Valley—Gorges and Kasbahs
We abandon the desert and pass by equally dramatic sceneries. Fistly, we start by first driving westwards with a stop to see the market at Rissani, where the Alaouite dynasty originated.
We then visit the spectacle of Todra Gorges, and we walk powerfully between towering steep canyon sides. A newcomer who had recently been there told me that the light that penetrated the small ravine seemed like entering a cathedral of nature. And lastly, we are off to Dades Valley where we will visit its distinct rock formations and then rest until night time, and as part of your all-in-all tour of the Desert Tour Morocco.
Day 8: Dades Valley to Marrakech via High Atlas
This is the long, picturesque ending to-day, when we pass over the mountains and go to the Red City. The first stop is the famous UNESCO world heritage site, Ait Benhaddou Kasbah.
We then approach the great High Atlas Mountains one more time, over the Tizi n Tichka. Proficiency: We are going to the point where the color of the rock structures is dramatically changing, come close to the summit. Then the last thing is to go down to the Haouz plains and reach Marrakech where you will enter the riad and prepare to go on a tour of the city tomorrow.
