Itinerary

Day 1:Tangier – Chefchaouen

Your 9 days tour from Tangier begins as you leave the coastal energy of Tangier behind and wind through the Rif Mountains toward the fairytale town of Chefchaouen. Along the way, enjoy views of Tetouan’s whitewashed houses and rolling green hills.

Arriving in Chefchaouen, the “Blue Pearl,” you’ll find a medina bathed in shades of indigo, with cozy cafés, artisan shops, and relaxed charm. Take your time to wander its alleys, soak in the mountain air, and settle into your riad for a peaceful evening surrounded by the town’s calming blue hues.

Day 2:Chefchaouen – Volubilis – Meknes – Fes

After breakfast, the road leads through olive groves and mountain villages toward the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis. Stroll among its mosaics and columns as your guide brings the city’s 2,000-year-old stories to life.

Next, travel to Meknes, an imperial city filled with 17th-century grandeur. As part of your 9 Days Tour from Tangier, admire Bab El Mansour’s monumental gate, explore the royal stables, and visit Moulay Ismail’s mausoleum. The day concludes in Fes, Morocco’s cultural heart, where you’ll rest in a traditional riad tucked within the historic medina.

Day 3:Full Day in Fes

Fes is a living museum, and today you’ll dive deep into its soul as part of your 9 Days Tour from Tangier. Start with the Royal Palace’s golden gates before exploring the Mellah, Morocco’s oldest Jewish quarter. Continue through the bustling medina — a maze of narrow alleys, workshops, and spice-scented air.

After lunch, visit a local pottery cooperative to witness artisans shaping the city’s famous blue tiles. End your day at a panoramic viewpoint overlooking the sea of rooftops and minarets—a breathtaking reminder of Fes’s timeless beauty.

Day 4:Fes – Ifrane – Ziz Valley – Erfoud – Merzouga

Leaving Fes behind, the scenery shifts dramatically as you cross the Middle Atlas. Pass through Ifrane, nicknamed the “Switzerland of Morocco,” and stop in the cedar forests of Azrou to spot Barbary macaques in the wild.

As you descend through the Ziz Valley, palm groves and ochre cliffs hint that the desert is near. Continue to Erfoud, known for its fossil workshops, then travel off-road into the vast dunes of Merzouga. During your 9 Days Tour from Tangier, enjoy a magical camel ride at sunset that leads you to a luxury desert camp, where a traditional dinner and starlit silence complete this unforgettable day.

Day 5:Merzouga – Tinjdad – Tinghir – Ouarzazate

Wake early to watch the sunrise over the golden dunes—an image that stays with you forever. After breakfast, set off toward Tinghir, passing through Rissani and Tinjdad. Stop to admire the Todra Gorge, where towering cliffs frame a lush valley below.

Continue through the Dades Valley and the rose-scented town of Kelaat M’Gouna before reaching Ouarzazate, known as “the gateway to the desert.” As part of your 9 Days Tour from Tangier, you’ll discover how film studios and ancient kasbahs blend seamlessly with dramatic landscapes. Spend the night in comfort, surrounded by cinematic history.

Day 6:Ouarzazate – Aït Ben Haddou – Marrakech

Start the morning exploring Ouarzazate’s landmarks, including the Taourirt Kasbah and the Atlas Film Studios—famous backdrops for Hollywood epics.

Next, visit the legendary Aït Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Morocco’s most photographed ksar. During your 9 Days Tour from Tangier, wander through its earthen passageways and terraces before heading across the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka Pass. As the red city of Marrakech comes into view, you’ll feel the pulse of Morocco’s modern rhythm blending with ancient tradition.

Day 7:Full Day in Marrakech

Today is devoted to discovering the magic of Marrakech. Begin at the lively Jemaa el-Fna Square, where street performers, storytellers, and market stalls create an unforgettable atmosphere. Visit the Koutoubia Mosque, the Saadian Tombs, and the opulent Bahia Palace.

In the afternoon, during your 9 days tour from Tangier, explore the medina’s artisan quarters and spice markets, or relax in a traditional hammam. As night falls, enjoy a Moroccan feast and the vibrant energy that makes Marrakech one of the world’s most captivating cities.

Day 8:Marrakech - Essaouira

After breakfast, set out for a day trip to the coastal town of Essaouira. Along the way, see goats climbing argan trees and stop at a women’s cooperative producing Morocco’s famous argan oil.

Arriving in Essaouira on your 9 days tour from Tangier, stroll along the harbor, visit the old ramparts, and enjoy freshly grilled seafood by the sea. Wander through the medina’s whitewashed lanes and browse local galleries and boutiques before returning to Marrakech in the evening.
