Firstly, this 14 Days Tour of Marrakechis different to any other Marrakech desert tours as it does not compel one to make a decision between the coast, the desert, or the cities; it offers them in plenty of time to enjoy every moment.
An in-depth circuit of Moroccan Desert Trips includes the necessary Morocco Desert Tour, two nights in Fes, two nights in Chefchaouen, and the time in the Atlantic in Essaouira, which will ensure the minimum fatigue and maximum immersion. Hence, this is the final decision of a Luxury Trip To Morocco, which will indeed provide you with a significant insight into the convoluted past and the varied splendor of Morocco.
The 14 Days Tour of your glory starts in the Marrakech Menara Airport (RAK). We finish a pleasant reception by your Morocco Desert Friends driver and safely deliver you to your lovely riad. Spend some hours to relax and rejuvenate. However, in the future, you will have to stroll in the beating heart of the city: the Djemaa el-Fna square.
The unbelievable environment of the Djemaa el-Fna square with its hypnotizing bustle of noise, odor, and color immediately makes you feel the life in Morocco with its dazzling rhythm.
We devoter today entirely to the historical wealth of the Red City. Firstly, you have a local guide who is well versed, and he takes you through an experience of Marrakech Tours. We visit the magnificent Bahia Palace and the peaceful, symbolic Majorelle Gardens, and I do recall that initial shock of the blue of the desert sky and the bright blue was so striking.
Visiting beautiful palaces and relaxing gardens of Marrakech gives a real insight into the artistic and historical essence of the city. We see Koutoubia Mosque and ancient Saadian Tombs. Lunch is followed by the time spent in the complex souks where you will have to learn how to wander through the marketplace and negotiate the most favorable deal, which will be an excellent example of Marrakech Day Trips.
The escapade has not yet ended, your 14 Days Tour Marrakech shifts into the high mountains. We pass the grandiose Tizi n’Tichka Pass (2,260m). Traditional Berber villages hanging on the hillsides on your way will be pointed out by your driver, a way of life that is eternal. This is one of the most beautiful photo trips of Atlas Mountains Day Trip From Marrakech.
The High Atlas Mountains are truly spectacular and the sight itself is very exciting as it immediately and dramatically changes the scenery, which preconditions the whole adventure that is going to happen. Then we visit the beautiful Ait Benhaddou Kasbah which is a UNESCO world heritage site and an impressive piece of ancient earth architecture. Taking a walk through its historic, film-yellowed avenues indeed, is like walking into a movie set!
Following lunch we head to Ouarzazate which is the movie capital. We proceed then to the picturesque Valley of Roses which is also known by its rose water products. At last we come into the rough beautiful Dades Valley at night.
On the fourth day of your 14 Days Tour Marrakech you are direct to the nature marvels of the Todra Gorge. We pause to walk under the huge sheer cliffs which ascend above 300 meters in the air. It is really humiliating to see the cool air or the sheer power of the towering rock walls.
There is a dramatic experience of being next to the large cliffs in the Todra Gorge and meditating in nature before the trip to the great Sahara. As we go on, we pass through dry plains, taking a glimpse of the Berber towns, and the first sign of the huge, golden dunes of Erg Chebbi, the first signifier of the apt climax of our Morocco Desert Trips.
We arrive to Merzouga at the right time, during the afternoon of the day, in the heart of the Morocco Desert Tour. Even now you will get yourself on the back of your mild-mannered camel and make the quiet journey into the sweeping, golden dunes, as the sun starts his glorious setting. It is these mute, swaying walks that make up the essence of a relaxing Morocco Desert Trip.
This is a very important day devoted to the investigation of the peculiarities of the landscapes and the spirit of the Merzouga region. You get to see the amazing desert sunrise and have a relaxing breakfast and then your guide takes you on an essential 4×4 discovery tour of the region.
Furthermore, this exploration day is full and has made your Desert Tour Morocco full of cultural experience which goes way beyond stopping overnight. We go to the nomadic Berber families in the area, where we have mint tea in their traditional tents and have an authentic, potent experience of the tough desert life of these nomadic families.
Then we go to the neighboring village of Khamlia. This village is known because it has its own Gnawa community, descendants of the African slaves who have preserved their own, spiritual music. It is an enormous experience of culture that you will get a vibrant performance of this hypnotic music. This is the day of indulgent cultural exploration that is obligatory to your 14 Days Tour in Marrakech.
On day six of your 14 Days Tour in Marrakech, your long but magnificent trip northwards to the ancient Imperial City of Fes begins. We begin with a journey through the gorgeous extent of palm groves of the Ziz Valley. This oasis, a ribbon of date palm trees, is a marvelous contrast to the dry sceneries that we had just in our wake. We pause to have necessary panoramas.
The dramatic last visual memory of the pre-desert oases is provided by the Ziz Valley with its amazing, startling luschiness as we are starting the uphill climbing into the mountains. We proceed to Midelt where we have a good, traditional Moroccan lunch, and make our preparations to climb up into the Middle Atlas Mountains.
The afternoon trip is made through the cedar forests of Azrou. This is where we pay a fun and memorable visit to the wild Barbary Macaques that are the indigenous monkeys in Morocco and their natural habitat. We get to Fes in the late afternoon, prepared to spend 2 nights exploring it more.
The seventh day is fully devoted to cultural core of Morocco. You are greeted by a knowledgeable local guide to take you on a walking tour of the Fes medina which is a UNESCO world heritage site. You have to plunge into this maze of narrow streets, which really make me feel like they are frozen.
When going to Fes, one can actually feel like he is going into the Middle Ages, as their lively souks, old-time mosques, and centuries-old craftsmanship made the Fes medina the place that one must visit when having a Trips In Morocco experience. We have a sightseeing of the beautiful Royal Palace gates, the ancient Jewish quarter (Mellah) and the famous Chouara Tannery where you get to see how the leather is dyed.
Furthermore, we visit the legendary Al Quaraouiyine University and the beautiful Bou Inania Medersa. We then proceed to the panoramic view of the Merenid Tombs where we have a magnificent view of the whole expansive city. This entire historical tour makes you internalize the richness of the Moroccan culture.
The eight day of your 14 Days Tour of Marrakech is full of history and finishes in the spectacular blue beauty. We head west, and we visit the Roman ruins of Volubilis where it is a UNESCO site. These amazingly well-preserved ruins, particularly the magnificent mosaics are a place you must visit to provide a strong linkage to the rich history of Morocco.
The historical landmark of the Volubilis city of the ancient Romans is a strong, enriching historical experience before proceeding with your trip north. Then we come to the imperial city of Meknes where we stop to see the large and richly decorated Bab Mansour gate that has a great display of Moroccan artistry.
We get up and drive north in the Rif Mountains after lunch. The last point of interest is the popular Chefchaouen or the Blue Pearl of Morocco. Coming in late afternoon gives one time to start walking through the blue-washed alleys which are unique.
The luxury in spending a full and devoted day exploring this magnificent town will be the great advantage of the 14 Days Tour through Marrakech. today is time to rest in the Plaza Uta el-Hammam and visit the Kasbah Museum.
Chefchaouen is a place which you can explore slowly and take numerous beautiful pictures, as the blue-washed alleys are very relaxing and beautiful. It is especially the walk down to the Spanish Mosque in the late afternoon, when you see the blue town in the mountains as the sun goes down–magic.
You can visit the local craft stores at your own leisure and discover some home-made crafts such as hand woven textiles and local goat cheese.
This is the day we are leaving the calm of Chefchaouen and driving to the coast. Our first destination is the political capital of Morocco, Rabat, where we go to see the famous Hassan Tower and the nearby Mausoleum of Mohammed V.
The world of Rabat can be used to understand the fusion of ancient history and contemporary government characteristic of Morocco at the moment. We also tour the magnificent Kasbah of the Udayas, an ancient fort which overlooks the Atlantic Ocean, ideal in taking a leisurely stroll.
We are heading on to the economic capital, Casablanca. The first thing we have to see as soon as we arrive is the grand Hassan II Mosque. This massive mosque that is majestically located at the ocean front is one of the strong icons of Moroccan success.
We are going south today on the Atlantic to the beautiful seaport of Essaouira. This beautiful fishing harbour that was once referred to as Mogador is covered with ancient ramparts and is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The salty smell, the seagull cry, and the view of the famous blue fishing boats in the port are a very relaxing experience and make a great interlude in your traveling. We visit the Skala de la Ville, the ramparts, and the crowded and smelly port.
You will be able to spend time surrounding the narrow alleys of the medina, known with wood marquetry. I can never pass without attempting the freshly-grilled sea food by the port, it is simply the most delicious on the seashore.
Have a last, lazy morning in Essaouira, perhaps walking the broad beach, or strolling around the art galleries, and then we start the easy comfortable drive back to Marrakech.
These last hours in Essaouira provide the time to reflect before going back to the dynamic Red City. When you get to Marrakech, you re-enter the same riad that you were staying in, and you can easily make the transition.
The evening will be at your own pace to enjoy your last, glorious Moroccan dinner, maybe going back to the Djemaa el-Fna square or taking a rest in the serene courtyard of your riad.
