Head north from the hills of the Rif to Chefchaouen, one of the most unique mountain cities in Morocco. Once there, take a leisurely stroll around the blue-painted medina in what is considered to be a quieter part of the Rif.
This more extended trip provides extra time in Chefchaouen rather than visiting it just for pictures.

Day 4 · Visit Chefchaouen

Day 4: Chefchaouen – An Easy Day in the Blue Medina of Morocco
Spending a leisurely day in Chefchaouen, walking through the blue medina, exploring shops, cafes, and visiting Spanish Mosque to admire the panoramic view of Chefchaouen town and the Rif mountains around.

Day 7 · Leisurely Fes

Day 7: Leisurely Fes – Enjoy the City at Your Own Pace
Make your second day in Fes flexible depending on what your group is interested in doing. It may include a return visit to the medina, visiting gardens and viewpoints in Fes, participating in a Moroccan cooking class, or even just enjoying more time to explore the city.
Your schedule will be modified based on what is most important to your group.

Day 8 · Fes to Merzouga

Day 8: Fes to Merzouga – Middle Atlas, Ziz Valley & Sahara
Travel south from Fes across the Middle Atlas, cedar forests, and the Ziz Valley towards Merzouga. The transition of the environment from mountain to desert makes this trip an experience in itself rather than just a transfer.

Spend Day 9 in the area of Merzouga and Erg Chebbi dunes and explore the surrounding desert region, including the entrance into the dunes for sunset and overnight stay in the desert camp that you have agreed upon.

Day 12: Visit Marrakech – Private Guided Tour of the Medina
Learn about Marrakech and see all the major landmarks with your private local guide as you explore the medina, souks, palaces and many other sights of interest.

Day 13 · Marrakech to Essaouira

Day 13: Marrakech to Essaouira – Morocco’s Atlantic Coast
Head to Essaouira from Marrakech and ease your pace to explore the Atlantic coast of Morocco. You can visit the historical ramparts, fishing port and medina of this city to enjoy the coastal charm of this destination.
Inclusion of Essaouira is one of the reasons why this 15 Day Morocco Tour from the 10-Day Imperial Cities & Sahara tour. While the 10-day tour covers Marrakech, south Morocco, Sahara and Fes, the latter includes Morocco’s Atlantic coast too.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our 15 Day Morocco Tour

Is 15 days enough to explore Morocco?

Yes. With fifteen days, one has enough time to enjoy northern Morocco, the imperial cities, Fes, the desert, Marrakech, and the coastal areas of Morocco in a more relaxed way.

This will depend on when you plan to travel, number of travelers in your party, accommodation, and activities you choose. This is because this tour is tailor-made for you and therefore we do not give a blanket price.

Yes. The itinerary is flexible based on your travel dates, preferences, pace of the trip and group size. You can have discussions with the local team about destinations, experiences, and your preferred route.

Certainly. This is a private tour package, meaning that there will be much more flexibility regarding the route taken and points of interest than would be the case on a group tour.

The itinerary is from Casablanca to Rabat, Chefchaouen, Volubilis, Meknes, Fez, Merzouga, and Sahara desert, Dades Valley, Marrakech and Essaouira, before returning to Casablanca.

Yes. Your trip will include some time in the vicinity of Merzouga and the Sahara Desert so that you can experience the desert instead of just going through it to get somewhere else.

Not if you want to see several regions without rushing. The extra days allow more time in destinations such as Chefchaouen, Fes, the Sahara, Marrakech and Essaouira instead of creating an overly compressed itinerary.

Spring and fall are both favored times to visit Morocco since the climate is pleasant all around the country at that time. Even your travel date preference will play a part in choosing the right itinerary.

There are some longer travel days because the itinerary connects northern Morocco, Fes, the Sahara, southern Morocco, Marrakech and the Atlantic coast. The advantage of 15 days is that the route can be spread out more comfortably rather than compressing the same destinations into a shorter trip.

In case the flights or itinerary you have planned will need a different location to start from or end, do not hesitate to communicate that to our local team while making your request for the proposal..
