Day 1: Marrakech to Dades Valley via High Atlas and Ait Benhaddou

Your 7 days itinerary in Morocco begins early and you leave behind the colorful Marrakech and proceed to once soaring high in the Atlas Mountains Tour at once. We pass through the legendary Tizi n’Tichka Pass (2,260m). I can also recall the theatrical nature of the play between the snow-covered mountains and the warmth of earthy tones of the Berber villages below- this is one thing that would really mark your beginning of your adventure. We stop at key panoramic points as there are just no photographs opportunities as good as they are in these places.

The grandiose High Atlas Mountains gives the adventure ahead a big scale that will be a really exciting beginning of your Morocco Itinerary 7 Days. Then we move on to the magnificent Ait Benhaddou Kasbah which is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a marvel of the old architecture made of earthen materials. One cannot help but feel like he or she is walking into a movie set by walking through its historic, cinematic alleys!

We proceed to Ouarzazate, the film production centre of the region after a traditional lunch. We cross the picturesque Valley of Roses, renowned with production of essential oils. At last we come to the beautiful rugged Dades Valley.

The Dades Valley greets us with its dramatic and towering canyons and its own, geological formations of the rock and make the last destination of our first day perfect. We stay in a great local guesthouse, with a comfortable and restful evening and dinner. This ideal speed makes sure that you are prepared to explore the further desert indulgence in your Morocco Itinerary 7 Days.

Day 2: Dades Valley to Merzouga Desert (Erg Chebbi Dunes)

Day two of your Morocco Itinerary 7 Days moves onwards to the east and it firsts takes you to the spectacular Todra Gorge. We pull up to walk under the sheer massive cliffs that are more than 300 meters high. The freshness of the air and the very strength of the rock walls which are huge are awe-inspiring.

A walk around the towering cliffs of the Todra Gorge is a breathtaking experience of reflection in the most natural way prior to the trip to the great Sahara. Moving on, we cross dry and rocky plains, Berber towns, and the first glimpses of the gigantic, golden dunes of Erg Chebbi which foreshadow the climax of our adventure in the Desert Trips Morocco.

It is late in the afternoon that we reach Merzouga, which is just in time to be a part of the ideal Desert Tour in Morocco. You shall set your docile camel and start the peaceful ride through the expansive, golden dunes, when the sun is setting in all its splendor. It is the quintessential Morocco Desert Trip involving this quiet swaying walk.

The silence of the Sahara is merely deep as the setting sun throws great spectacular shadows over the unlimited dunes of golden sands. We reach your luxurious desert camp where a traditional dinner and Berber drumming lives is to be enjoyed. The experience of spending the night with an impossibly starry sky is the unforgettable one of your Morocco Itinerary 7 Days.

Day 3: Merzouga Desert Exploration and Cultural Immersion

The third day is the most important day because it is devoted to the discovering of the unique landscapes and the rich culture in the Merzouga region. You witness an amazing desert sunrise and relax over your breakfast and then your guide gets you on a 4×4 discovery tour of the region.

With this complete exploration day, you will be sure that your Desert Tour Morocco is more than a mere half day and overnight experience with a deep touch into the culture. We go on a trip to local nomadic Berber families where we spend time having mint tea in their traditional tents as an authentic and impactful encounter with their tough desert life.

We then go to the close village of Khamlia. This village is known because of Gnawa people, descendants of African slaves who have managed to save their peculiar, spiritual music. You will have a spirited act of this mesmerizing music which is a remarkable cultural experience. We also take lunch before getting back to a good local riad in order to spend some easy time in the evening.

The colorful Gnaoua music and tea ceremony with nomad families makes your journey be vibrant with the authentic human connection. Moreover, this is the leisurely cultural exploration that should be part of your Morocco Itinerary 7 Days so that at the end of the trip to the Sahara, you leave with the immediate benefit of cultural enrichment.

Day 4: Merzouga to Fes via Ziz Valley and Cedar Forest

Day four of your Morocco Itinerary 7 Days is a long, but spectacular, journey to the north to the ancient Imperial City of Fes. We begin by passing through the lovely, expansive palm groves of the Ziz Valley. This is a terrific contrast to dry scenery we had been in and this ribbon like oasis is swarmed with millions of date palm trees. We take necessary panoramic stops to win this fertile wander.

The amazing, unbelievable lushness of the Ziz Valley is the final visual memory of the pre-desert oases which is dramatic as we climb to the mountains. We head to Midelt where we have a traditional and hearty Moroccan lunch, as we gear up to climb the Middle Atlas Mountains.

The ride in the afternoon is through the cedar woods of Azrou. In this case, we spend time having fun and making a memorable stop to the wild Barbary Macaques-the native monkeys in Morocco in the wild. At last, we drive through Ifrane, the beautiful, alpine-like town and lovingly referred to as Little Switzerland.

The picturesque road trip in the cool Middle Atlas Mountains gives a cool last scenery shift on the way to your end destination. This leg of your Moroccan Itinerary 7 Days ends in the late afternoon in the old city of Fes, where we will drop you off in your lovely riad.

The tour begins with a well-versed local guide taking you on an in-depth walking tour through the Fes medina that is a UNESCO World Heritage site. So, you are obliged to plunge into this maze of small streets, which are really frozen in time.

Moreover, you cannot leave out the Fes medina in your list of places to visit, due to its beautiful souks, ancient mosques, and centuries old craft tradition are all that constitute the ideal Moroccan travel. You will attend the gorgeous gates of the Royal Palace, the ancient Jewish quarter (Mellah), and the well-known Chouara Tannery where the masters of the art show the ancient art of dyeing leather.

We visit the legendary Al Quaraouiyine University and the magnificent Bou Inania Medersa. Later, we go to the panoramic point of view of the Merenid Tombs where we get a fantastic view of the entire sprawled city.

The 7-day Morocco Itinerary Day 6 is full of history and it concludes with a spectacular blue beauty. We are heading to the Western side, starting with the Roman ruins of Volubilis which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. These are highly preserved ruins, particularly the magnificent mosaics, which you should visit to give you a strong sense of the rich history of Morocco.

The journey through the ancient Roman city of Volubilis is the history experience that will enrich your trip to the north before you proceed with the rest. Then we go to the imperial city of Meknes, where we can see the huge and very ornamented Bab Mansour gate, which represents the amazing Moroccan art.

We then head north after lunch to the Rif Mountains and the scene changing to green vegetation. The last place to be visited is Chefchaouen the Blue Pearl of Morocco. After arriving in the late afternoon, one can afford to start walking along the distinctly blue-washed alleys.

When we reach the city of Casablanca, the last thing that we absolutely need is the marvellous Hassan II Mosque.
