Day 1: Casablanca > Rabat [87 Km]

This Morocco 7 day itinerary begins with your pick-up from the airport, accommodation, or port in Casablanca. Our first stop will be the Hassan II Mosque, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. This mosque is one of the largest in the world, featuring a towering minaret, unique architectural design, intricate decorations, and marble-adorned floors. We will explore this magnificent mosque together.

Afterwards, we will visit the Corniche and Mohammed V Square, surrounded by historic buildings in the French colonial style. Then, we will depart Casablanca heading to Morocco’s capital, Rabat, where we will visit the Hassan Tower, a 12th-century minaret, and the Oudaya Kasbah, an ancient fortress overlooking the Bou Regreg River. After touring the city, we will take you to your accommodation in Rabat where you can rest and prepare for the next day.

After breakfast in Rabat, we head north toward Chefchaouen, the Blue City nestled in the Rif Mountains.

Chefchaouen is well known for its blue-painted walls and charming narrow streets, making it a perfect place for walking and photography. Once we arrive, we will check you in, and then you’ll have free time to explore the winding alleys and take some of your best photos.

Before sunset, we’ll head to a unique panoramic viewpoint overlooking the city to enjoy the breathtaking view. Afterward, we return to the riad / hotel for the night.

After having breakfast in Chefchaouen, we leave the Blue City and head towards Fez, one of Morocco’s most famous imperial cities.

On the way, our first stop will be at the ancient Roman site of Volubilis, the best-preserved Roman ruins in Morocco and a UNESCO World Heritage site. You will have the chance to explore its impressive ruins, old mosaics, and traces of Roman life.

Next, we continue to the city of Meknes, a less crowded imperial city rich in history. We will visit Bab Mansour, a gate decorated with beautiful colorful designs, then the Sahrij Swani basin, built by Moulay Ismail to store water for the palaces and gardens. We will also visit the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, one of the city’s most important religious and tourist landmarks.

After this tour, we head to Fez for a comfortable night stay in a riad.

After breakfast at the riad, you will begin your tour to discover Fes, the oldest imperial city in Morocco, accompanied by a local guide. In the morning, we will set off on a walking tour inside the old medina (Fes el-Bali), visiting the most prominent cultural and historical sites, such as the Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and University, founded in 859 AD and considered the oldest university in the world, the Bou Inania Madrasa famous for its beautiful decorations, as well as the Nejjarine Fountain and the traditional tanneries that have made Fes renowned for its centuries-old leather craftsmanship.

Following lunch, we will leave the old city to visit the magnificent gate of the Royal Palace, then stroll through the Mellah, the old Jewish quarter, before visiting a pottery cooperative to explore the art of traditional Moroccan crafts.

At the end of the day, we will climb one of the old forts to enjoy a magical panoramic view of the entire city of Fes. After the tour, we return to the same riad for overnight stay.

On the fifth day of our 7 days in Morocco itinerary, we start our morning early by leaving Fes and heading southeast toward the Merzouga desert. Along the way, we pass through the Middle Atlas Mountains and stop in the city of Ifrane, known for its cleanliness and European-style atmosphere. Then, we continue the journey to the cedar forests near Azrou, where we can see and enjoy watching the wild Barbary macaque monkeys.

We stop in the town of Midelt for lunch, then continue driving until we reach the Ziz Valley, which stretches between the mountains and offers breathtaking views of the palm groves.

As the day comes to an end, we reach the Merzouga desert. Upon arrival, you’ll ride camels to the desert camp nestled among the sand dunes, where you can enjoy the sunset. The evening continues with a traditional dinner under the starry sky, warm music around the campfire, and a peaceful atmosphere far from the noise of everyday life.

On the sixth day of the tour, we start our morning with the sunrise over the Merzouga dunes, then have breakfast at the camp. After that, we return by camels to the meeting point and head by car toward Skoura.

We first stop in the town of Rissani, known for its traditional markets and its history as a former capital of the Alaouite dynasty that currently rules Morocco. We pass through the villages of Tafilalt before reaching Tinghir, where we visit the famous Todgha Gorge, known for its high rocky cliffs and ideal for walking and photography.

After a lunch break in Tinghir or its surroundings, we continue the journey to Boumalne Dades, passing through traditional Amazigh villages, then see unique rock formations known as the “Monkey Fingers.”

We continue through Kalaat M’Gouna, famous for its Rose Festival, until we reach the oasis of Skoura, known as the Oasis of a Thousand Kasbahs.

In Skoura, we visit Amridil Kasbah, one of the most beautiful traditional mud-brick kasbahs, and stroll among the palm trees and peaceful scenery. As the sun sets, we arrive at our accommodation inside the oasis to spend a quiet night accompanied by a Moroccan dinner in a natural and serene setting.

Note: If you wish to stay overnight in Dades Valley or Ouarzazate instead of Skoura, just tell us your preferences and we will take care of the rest.

On the last day of the 7-day Morocco itinerary, we leave Skoura heading to Marrakech with important stops along the way. First, we visit Ouarzazate, known as the “Gateway to the Desert,” a historic city characterized by its hot desert climate and proximity to the Sahara Desert. There, we see Kasbah Taourirt, an old earthen fortress that was once the residence of the city’s governor, distinguished by its wonderful traditional architectural design. After that, we visit the famous Ouarzazate studios, which were used to film famous international movies like Lawrence of Arabia and Gladiator.

Then, we move to Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a fortified clay village located on a hill, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This kasbah reflects the traditional lifestyle of the ancient caravans that passed through this area. Afterward, we cross the High Atlas Mountains through the Tizi-N-Tichka pass, a high mountain road passing through the Atlas peaks, known for its stunning natural views and the Berber villages spread on the mountain slopes.

The Most Wonderful Seven Days in Morocco
We had a 10-day vacation, and during that time, I decided to travel to Morocco because I had heard a lot about it and that it is a unique destination with many special features. We searched for 7 day tours and found a 7-day tour from Casablanca to Marrakech that met the specifications we wanted. My husband and I booked it, and Ibrahim, who assisted us during the booking process, responded quickly and helped us choose the hotels we wanted. I remember our trip started on Monday when our driver, Hassan, was waiting for us at the airport with a comfortable 4x4 vehicle. We began our journey by exploring Casablanca and then Rabat on the first day of the trip. On the second day, we visited Chefchaouen, which was truly remarkable, the whole city was painted blue, and we enjoyed walking around it. On the third day, we visited Roman ruins and the city of Meknes, then spent the night in Fes, which we explored the next day with a local guide. On the fifth day, we headed to the desert where we experienced camel riding and spent the night in a desert camp. On the morning of the sixth day, we returned from the camp to Merzouga on quad bikes, which was an exciting adventure. Then we went to Dades Valley, where we chose to stay for the night instead of Skoura. On the last day of the tour, we visited historic kasbahs, including Ait Ben Haddou, which truly amazed me with its architecture. In the evening, we arrived in Marrakech with our driver Hassan, whom I sincerely thank from the bottom of my heart. He shared everything he knew about his country with us. I also thank Ibrahim and everyone we met during the trip, as well as the agency Exploring Morocco Trips. Therefore, I recommend anyone with a short vacation to choose the 7 days tour from Casablanca to Marrakech with this agency.

An amazing Moroccan Tour with Exploring Morocco Trips
We spent 9 wonderful days in Morocco on a 7-day tour from Casablanca to Marrakech. The trip was very well organized, and the booking was easy and quick with Ibrahim, who helped us choose the riads. We visited important cities like Casablanca, Rabat, Chefchaouen, Meknes, Fes, and the desert... We enjoyed camel riding and spent a night in the luxury camp called DESERT LUXURY CAMP. We met travelers from other countries and had fun with them around the fire, laughing together. The night in Skoura was amazing: we wandered through the oasis filled with palm trees and visited the beautiful Amridil Kasbah. Our guide Ali was friendly and answered all our questions about Morocco, and our driver Mohamed, was careful with us throughout the trip. After reaching Marrakech, we added a day trip to Essaouira and admired its traditional port. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a 7 day Morocco itinerary that offers a unique experience in Morocco in a short time.
