Day 1: Casablanca > Rabat > Fes [290 Km]

We begin our Morocco itinerary 6 days from the city of Casablanca, the economic center of Morocco and its largest city. Our first stop is the Hassan II Mosque, considered one of the most prominent religious landmarks in Africa, thanks to its towering minaret that reaches a height of 210 meters and its architectural details handcrafted from marble and carved wood.

After the visit, we head toward Rabat, the political capital of Morocco, to explore its historical landmarks such as the Hassan Tower, which represents the remains of a project that has remained unfinished since the 12th century, and the Mohammed V Mausoleum, a national monument that houses the tombs of the late king and his two sons. We also visit the Kasbah of the Udayas, a historical fortress overlooking the Bou Regreg River and the ocean, dating back to the Almoravid period.

In the afternoon, we continue on to the city of Fes, one of the oldest Islamic cities in North Africa, where we stay in a traditional riad inside the old medina in preparation for a new day of discovery.

On the second day of the Morocco 6 day itinerary, we dedicate a full day to exploring the city of Fes, the oldest imperial city in Morocco and a historical center of knowledge, religion, and traditional crafts. We begin our tour in the Old Medina (Fes el Bali), which is considered one of the largest car-free urban areas in the world and is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

We start by exploring Al-Qarawiyyin University, founded in 859 AD, and regarded as the oldest continuously operating university in the world. We also visit Bou Inania Madrasa, a unique example of Marinid architecture, with its finely carved wooden and stucco decorations. We stop at Nejjarine Square to visit the Traditional Carpentry Museum, where we discover the tools and techniques of ancient craftsmen.

We walk through the narrow alleys filled with traditional souks (markets), where leather, copper, textiles, oils, and perfumes are displayed. We visit the Chouara Tannery, one of the oldest leather tanning sites, where we watch the process of natural leather production in the traditional way from viewing balconies above.

In the afternoon, we visit Bab Boujloud Gate, known for its blue and green tilework, and stroll through the newer parts of the city to observe the contrast between old and new Fes. In the evening, we return to the traditional riad to rest and prepare for the third day of the trip.

On the third day of your 6 day Morocco tour, we leave the city of Fes early in the morning heading southeast towards the Sahara Desert. Our first stop is the city of Ifrane, known as “Little Switzerland” due to its European style, clean architecture, and organized gardens. After a short stop for photos and rest, we continue the trip to the cedar forests near the city of Azrou, where we take time to walk and observe wild Barbary macaque monkeys living freely in the forest.

We continue driving through the Middle Atlas Mountains, passing mountainous views and small villages, until we reach the city of Midelt, located between the High and Middle Atlas ranges, known for its apple production and minerals. We stop there for lunch, then begin our descent southward.

We drive through the famous Ziz Valley, a long oasis lined with thousands of palm trees and traditional mud-brick houses. We stop at a panoramic viewpoint overlooking this natural oasis.

As sunset approaches, we arrive in Merzouga, where we meet the camel guide to begin a tour through the sand dunes on camelback. The tour lasts about one to one and a half hours, with a stop to watch the sunset. Upon arrival at the desert camp, we are welcomed with Saharan tea and sweets, then served a delicious traditional Moroccan dinner.

After dinner, we enjoy a live music session around the fire using traditional instruments such as drums. This night represents an opportunity to relax and watch the stars in a clear desert sky far from city lights.

We start the fourth day early to enjoy the sunrise over the sand dunes of Merzouga, then return to the camp for breakfast and a shower. After that, we leave Merzouga and head toward the city of Rissani, which was once the capital of the Alaouite dynasty and an important trade center in the southeast. A stop can be made there to visit the traditional market (market days: Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday).

Next, we continue the road to Erfoud, known for its fossil and mineral industry, where it is possible to stop at one of the fossil workshops. We keep driving until we reach Tinghir, where we stop at a panoramic viewpoint overlooking a large palm oasis with old kasbahs in the middle.

After that, we continue to the Todgha Gorge, one of the most famous natural landmarks in the region, where the vertical rock walls rise to over 300 meters. It is a great place for walking and photography.

We end the day by reaching the Dades Valley, known for its unique rock formations such as the “Monkey Fingers,” with the option to stop for photos before arriving at the overnight accommodation in one of the valley’s hotels or riads.

On the fifth day, we leave Dades Valley and head toward the town of Kalaat M’Gouna, known for its production of rose water and cosmetic products derived from roses. A stop can be made to visit one of the shops or cooperatives to learn about these natural products.

Next, we follow the road of a thousand kasbahs until we reach the oasis of Skoura, where we visit the Amridil Kasbah, one of the oldest well-preserved kasbahs in southern Morocco.

We continue toward the city of Ouarzazate, nicknamed the “Hollywood of Africa,” to visit the Taourirt Kasbah, a historical site dating back to the 18th century. Then we head to the Atlas Film Studios, where many international films such as Gladiator and Game of Thrones were filmed.

After that, we head to the Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You can explore the ancient alleys and climb to the top to enjoy a panoramic view of the nearby valley. After enjoying a delicious Moroccan lunch at one of the local restaurants, we prepare to cross the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka Pass (2,260 m elevation), with stops at several viewpoints to capture the breathtaking landscapes.

Best 6-day Morocco itinerary from Casablanca with Exploring Morocco Trips
I didn’t expect to have such a truly special experience in Morocco. The trip was well organized. I loved visiting Fes and the desert; both places are definitely worth seeing. The experience with the guide in Marrakech was also enjoyable, especially when we visited the Majorelle Gardens and the old medina. Some of the road distances were long, but the car (Toyota Land Cruiser Prado) was comfortable and the stops were well planned. Our driver Mohamed was respectful and helpful. Overall, the tour is suitable for anyone visiting Morocco for the first time. It gives you a broad view of several places in a short time. I recommend it though it would be even better if it were one or two days longer."

My Honest Review of the Morocco Itinerary 6 Days experience
All I want to say is that our tour was exceptional in every aspect whether in transportation, accommodation services and even the restaurants everything was outstanding during our 6 day trip from Casablanca back to Casablanca. The city of Fes has truly amazing historical sites and what impressed me the most there was the University of Al Quaraouiyine truly an amazing visit. Also the experience of staying overnight in the desert camp was special and we added even more adventure by riding quads in the sand dunes. There is a lot to say but it’s better if you experience it yourself. I sincerely recommend this tour from the heart with Exploring Morocco Trips and thanks to them.
