Our 15 days grand Morocco tour from Marrakech is one big loop through every region. You start and end in the red city.
First, you explore Marrakech, then drive north to Casablanca and Rabat. Then you spend two nights in Chefchaouen and hike to the Akchour waterfalls. After that, you see Volubilis, Meknes and the medina of Fes. Next, you cross the Middle Atlas for two days in the Sahara, with a buggy ride and camels. The road then leads through the Todra and Dades gorges to Aït Benhaddou and Telouet. Finally, a quad ride and a sunset in Agafay close the loop. In short, our 15 days grand Morocco tour from Marrakech is private and runs on your dates.
