7 Days Itinerary from Tangier to Marrakech
Discover Morocco beyond the usual tourist route with our 7 Days Itinerary from Tangier to Marrakech, a carefully designed private journey that connects the country’s northern charm with its imperial heritage, dramatic mountain scenery, vast Sahara landscapes, and southern kasbahs.
Your journey begins in Tangier, where the Mediterranean atmosphere gradually gives way to the Rif Mountains and the enchanting blue streets of Chefchaouen. From there, travel south to the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis, the imperial city of Meknes, and the historic Medina of Fes.
An additional day in Fes gives you the opportunity to explore its UNESCO-listed old city, traditional souks, artisan quarters, and centuries-old architecture without feeling rushed.

Here, experience the magic of the Sahara with a camel trek across the golden sands, a memorable sunset, an overnight stay in a desert camp, traditional Berber music, and a peaceful sunrise. From the Sahara desert, the route continues through Rissani, Todra Gorge, Dades Valley, Ouarzazate, and Aït Ben Haddou, revealing a completely different side of Morocco filled with palm oases, dramatic cliffs, ancient kasbahs, and traditional Berber villages.
The final stage of your 7 Day Itinerary from Tangier to Marrakech takes you across the High Atlas Mountains and Tizi n’Tichka Pass before arriving in Marrakech, where a guided city tour introduces you to the Red City’s famous medina, souks, monuments, and lively atmosphere.
