7 Day Morocco Tour from Marrakech

Your 7 Day Morocco tour from Marrakech begins with a pickup from the airport by an experienced driver. After meeting at the airport’s exit, he will transfer you to your riad in the medina, where you can leave your luggage in your room and begin your city tour. Today, your guide will be a knowledgeable local who is well versed in the city’s landmarks and hidden treasures. After meeting your guide at the riad, you will head out to explore the city.

The three-hour sightseeing tour takes you to some of the oldest landmarks of the Red City (Marrakech), including the Old Medina (souks) and the Ben Youssef Quranic Mosque. After a break for lunch, continue exploring with your local guide and visit the Bahia Palace and the Saadian Tombs. Finally, you will reach Jemaa el-Fna Square and the Koutoubia Mosque. After saying goodbye to your guide, you will have free time to explore the medina at your own pace before returning to the riad for the night.

Today, on the second day of your 7 Day Morocco tour, we begin our journey across the High Atlas Mountains after bidding farewell to the vibrant city of Marrakech. About two hours after departure, we stop at a panoramic viewpoint to admire the breathtaking scenery. If you are lucky, you may witness the Atlas Mountains beautifully adorned with snow. We then continue to the Tizi N’Tichka Pass, which stands at an altitude of 2,260 meters above sea level.

After a short break, we drive toward the Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a historic site featured in several famous films and series, including Gladiator and Game of Thrones. Our next stop is Kalaat M’Gouna, where you can enjoy stunning views of the Rose Valley. Finally, we head to Boumalne Dades, where you will spend a peaceful night in a beautiful mountain riad.

Enjoy a delicious breakfast while listening to the birds sing. Afterward, we drive to the Dades Gorge for a short visit, including the famous Monkey Finger Rock formations. After exploring these two breathtaking sites, we depart toward the Sahara Desert, stopping at two captivating locations along the way: Todgha Gorge and the Rissani Market.

Upon arrival at Todgha Gorge, feel free to stroll along the beautiful river that flows through the canyon. This river stretches for approximately 28 kilometers and has slowly carved the sandstone and limestone cliffs into a dramatic gorge reaching depths of around 500 meters. Next, we continue to Rissani, the birthplace of the Alaouite dynasty, from which Morocco’s current royal family descends. Since ancient times, Rissani has been known as an important commercial center where major African caravans once stopped to trade their goods.

From there, we continue to our destination, the Merzouga Desert. Upon arrival, you will mount your camel and ride across the dunes to reach the desert camp for a memorable overnight stay. At the camp, enjoy a delicious dinner and the warm atmosphere created by the staff.

Today, we start a round trip to visit the Gnawa musicians, stop for tea with real nomads, and explore a fossil museum. The area is famous for its fossil treasures and natural wealth. Next, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant specializing in traditional pizza. Afterward, continue wandering through one of the area’s oases. If you are looking for extra adventure, you can rent a quad and drive across the dunes or try sandboarding (free rental) in the afternoon. Dinner and overnight stay at a wonderful hotel.

Today is your last day in the desert. Feel free to take a final walk near your hotel, which is located at the edge of the dunes. Once you are ready, we leave the fascinating golden dunes and drive toward Ouarzazate via Alnif, Tazarine, and Nakoub. Along the way, we will make several stops to admire the beautiful landscapes along the road. After lunch in Nakoub, we continue to Ouarzazate, where you will spend the night.

From Ouarzazate’s busy alleyways, where cinematic stories echo through kasbahs and film studios, the road winds through rocky landscapes dotted with historic mud-brick villages and terraced farms. The route gradually climbs into the High Atlas Mountains, offering stunning views of rugged peaks and lush valleys. In the afternoon, we arrive in Telouet, where you will spend the night in a simple auberge, with dinner and breakfast included.

Today, we drive back to Marrakech from Telouet village. Depending on your departure time, we will transfer you directly to Marrakech Airport or to your booked accommodation. At this point, your 7-day itinerary in Morocco comes to an end.
