14 Days Tour From Tanger To Marrakech Via Desert of Merzouga

After breakfast, we'll head to Midelt, famously known as the Capital of Apples. On the way, you'll pass through Ifrane, Morocco's coldest city, often called the Switzerland of Morocco due to its unique housing style and snowy winters. Continue exploring the Middle Atlas Mountains and visit the Cedar Forest or Azrou, situated at an elevation of 3940 feet. Here, you can interact with and feed the critically endangered Barbary macaque monkeys. From there, drive to Midelt and check into your hotel.

After breakfast, we’ll journey through the Valley of Roses, famous for its annual Rose Festival held at the end of May, to reach Ouarzazate. Along the way, we’ll pass Skoura, an oasis of palm groves. From there, we’ll continue to Ouarzazate, known as the Hollywood of Morocco, stopping at the Taourirt Kasbah before visiting the film studios. Finally, we’ll head to your hotel, enjoy dinner, and settle in for the night.

After breakfast, you’ll travel from Ouarzazate to Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, the most famous Kasbah in Morocco. This historic Kasbah and its fortified village are situated near the Ounila River in the highlands and have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987. Several movies, including The Mummy, Alexander, Babel, and The Message, were filmed there. After exploring Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, you’ll continue through the High Atlas Mountains, reaching an altitude of 2260 meters at Tichka Pass. Finally, you’ll arrive in Marrakech after a long day, ready to relax for the evening.

After breakfast, the day begins with a tour from Tangier to Marrakech, passing through the breathtaking Middle Atlas region. This includes a small community located 1500 meters above sea level, about 180 kilometers from Marrakech, famous for its waterfalls. You'll have the chance to hike to the scenic spots, climb 600 steps to reach restaurants along the riverbanks, and spot monkeys in the nearby trees. The waterfall, 100 meters high, is the largest in the country and in northern Africa. Enjoy lunch and a fun day before returning in the evening to your accommodation in Marrakech.

Take a full-day trip from Marrakech to the charming village of Essaouira, a relaxed fishing town. Depart Marrakech at 8:00, traveling through Morocco’s vast, stunning terrain, dotted with isolated villages and grazing camels, sheep, and goats. Essaouira, known as “the Wind City of Africa,” is a haven for sailing and windsurfing. Explore fascinating spots like the harbor where fishermen bring in the day’s catch, and stroll along the long, sandy beach to the south. This town’s laid-back vibe, impressive ramparts, and sandy shores have long attracted artists and hippies. Unlike the rest of Morocco, Essaouira has a bohemian charm. Orson Welles stayed at the Hotel des Iles while filming “Othello” in 1950, and Essaouira has since been the backdrop for many films. Jimi Hendrix’s “Castles Made of Sand” was written two years before his visit to Essaouira. After your adventure, return to Marrakech in the evening.

Today we will leave Marrakech for Casablanca, check into the hotel, and visit the Hassan II Mosque.
After that, we'll explore the Morocco Mall and spend the night in Casablanca.

On the final day of our Tangier tour, we’ll head back to Casablanca and organize your transfer to the airport.
