Why Start Your Tour in Casablanca?
Casablanca is one of Morocco’s main international gateways. Most travelers fly in or out from here, which makes it the perfect starting point. Even though Casablanca isn’t as popular as Marrakech or Fes, it’s a practical place to begin a longer tour. and you’ll still find a few nice surprises here too.
You’ll most likely visit the Hassan II Mosque, explore the Corniche, or have a good meal in the Maarif area before heading out on your adventure.
My Suggested 10 Days Tour from Casablanca
Here’s the itinerary I usually recommend. It’s well-paced, covers a mix of culture, nature, and desert adventure, and includes time to actually enjoy each destination.
Day 1: Casablanca to Rabat
Drive to Rabat (1.5 hours) after a relaxed morning in Casablanca. Visit the Hassan Tower, the Oudayas, and explore the Medina. Rabat is calm and pretty, perfect for easing into the trip.
Day 2: Rabat to Chefchaouen
Head to Chefchaouen in the Rif Mountains. The drive is about 4.5 hours, so start early. Once you arrive, get lost in the blue streets and enjoy the peaceful vibe.
Day 3: Chefchaouen
Spend a full day here. You can hike around the surrounding hills, take photos, and just enjoy the slower pace. Chefchaouen is a great break between big cities.
Day 4: Chefchaouen to Fes
Drive to Fes (around 4 hours). Stop at Volubilis and Meknes on the way if you’re into Roman ruins and history.
Day 5: Fes

Day 6: Fes to Merzouga (Sahara)
This is a long drive (about 7 hours) but it’s full of changing landscapes — cedar forests, mountain towns, and desert views. Arrive in time to hop on a camel and ride to your desert camp for sunset.
