Our fullest Casablanca loop — Rabat, Meknes, Fes, a camel trek into the Erg Chebbi dunes, Ait Benhaddou, and an unhurried stretch in Marrakech with day trips to the Ourika Valley and Essaouira, back to Casablanca.
Our 15 day Grand Tour from Casablanca is the fullest version of our Imperial Cities and Desert route, built for travelers who want the essentials of Morocco covered at an unhurried pace. With a private driver-guide and vehicle throughout, the route runs from Casablanca through Rabat and Meknes, with a stop at the Roman ruins of Volubilis, to Fes for a full day of guided sightseeing in the medina.
From Fes, we cross the Middle Atlas to the Sahara Desert, where you'll trek by camel into the Erg Chebbi dunes near Merzouga for a night in a traditional camp. The route continues through the Todra Gorges, the Dades Valley, and the Ait Benhaddou Kasbah before reaching Marrakech — where this longer itinerary gives you room to breathe: a full city tour, a day trip into the Ourika Valley, a coastal day trip to Essaouira, and a free day to explore at your own pace. The loop closes with a transfer back to Casablanca for departure.
Because it's a private tour, the pace and stops can be adjusted to your interests. It suits travelers who've compared our 8 and 10 day Casablanca itineraries and want the same route without the tighter schedule — more time in Marrakech, a coastal day trip, and a genuinely free day built in.
Your overnights in Casablanca, Meknes, Fes, Merzouga, the desert camp, the Dades Valley, Ouarzazate, and Marrakech are confirmed in advance — this is a guide to how the fifteen days unfold.
Upon your arrival at Casablanca airport, we meet you and transfer to your hotel. Visit the grand Hassan II Mosque, one of the largest mosques in the world, before an overnight stay in Morocco's economic capital.
