  • Day 1

    Casablanca Arrival & Orientation

    Start your Morocco journey in Casablanca. "Book afternoon flights if possible since morning traffic can be heavy around Mohammed V Airport," suggests a recent visitor. Visit the stunning Hassan II Mosque before 2 PM to beat the crowds. Pick accommodation near the mosque area for convenience.

    
  • Days 2-3

    Chefchaouen via Rabat

    Take a 2.5-hour drive to Rabat to see the Oudaya Kasbah and Mohammed V Mausoleum. Continue 4 hours to Chefchaouen. A visitor tip: "The blue streets are most photogenic between 8-10 AM before tour groups arrive. Bring good walking shoes - the steep medina streets get slippery when wet."

    
  • Days 4-5

    Fes & Surrounds

    Stop at Volubilis on your way to Fes (3 hours). One traveler notes: "Get a guide at Volubilis - the Roman ruins make little sense without context." Spend a full day in Fes exploring the medina with a local guide. Visit the tanneries early morning to avoid the strong midday smells. The Batha area makes a great base for medina exploration.

    
  • Day 6

    Desert Experience

    The long drive to Merzouga (7+ hours) takes you through the Atlas Mountains. A practical tip: "Pack motion sickness pills for the winding roads. The sunset camel ride feels rushed - request an early arrival to fully enjoy it." Pack warm layers for your desert camp night as temperatures drop significantly.

    
  • Day 7

    Dades Valley

    Watch the sunrise over the dunes before driving to Dades Valley through Todra Gorge (5-6 hours). A visitor shares: "The gorge walk can be challenging - wear proper shoes and bring water. Best light for photos is late afternoon."

    
  • Day 8

    Ait Benhaddou to Marrakech

    Visit Ait Benhaddou early to avoid crowds. The 4-hour drive to Marrakech goes through the Atlas Mountains. One traveler advises: "The Tichka Pass has incredible views but can be nerve-wracking - sit on the mountain side of the vehicle if heights bother you."

    
  • Day 9

    Marrakech Exploration

    Start your Marrakech day at Jardin Majorelle when it opens at 8 AM (book ahead). Take an afternoon medina tour when the streets come alive. A visitor suggests: "Have dinner at a rooftop restaurant overlooking Djemaa el-Fna - the square is most atmospheric at sunset."

    
  • Day 10

    Essaouira Day Trip & Return

    Choose between a day trip to Essaouira (2.5 hours each way) or more time in Marrakech. The fish market in Essaouira is best visited before 11 AM for the freshest catch.

  • Day 1

    Casablanca

    Land in Casablanca around 2 PM and visit the Hassan II Mosque, one of the world's largest mosques. "Dino was a superb guide in Casablanca, both funny and patient with those who had mobility issues." Plan to arrive 30 minutes before your mosque tour for security checks. The entry fee is about $13.

    
  • Days 2-3

    Tangier & Chefchaouen

    Take the morning high-speed train from Casablanca to Tangier (2h10). Visit the medina and American Legation Museum. The next day, explore Chefchaouen's blue streets. "Watching the sunset from the Spanish Mosque viewpoint was incredible, but bring good walking shoes – those steep medina streets get slippery," a TourRadar traveler shares.

    
  • Day 4

    Rabat & Volubilis

    Visit Rabat's Royal Palace and Hassan Tower early in the morning. Then head to the Roman ruins of Volubilis. "Go early to Volubilis - there's minimal shade and it gets brutally hot by midday. The $7 entry fee includes informative placards in English."

    
  • Days 5-6

    Fez

    Take two full days to explore Fez's winding medina. "Said, our guide in Fez, was exceptional - he helped us navigate the endless alleyways and showed us authentic workshops without the usual tourist traps." A tip about the leather tanneries: use the mint sprigs locals offer to help with the strong smell.

    
  • Day 7

    Merzouga Desert

    The drive to Merzouga through the Middle Atlas Mountains is long but beautiful. "The camel trek timing is crucial - insist on leaving at least 90 minutes before sunset to properly enjoy the dunes. Bring a light jacket as desert nights get surprisingly cold."

    
  • Day 8

    Todra Gorge & Dades Valley

    After watching the desert sunrise, drive to Todra Gorge. "The drive through Dades Valley is white-knuckle at times with hairpin turns - sit on the right side of the van for best views." Stop at Atlas Film Studios in Ouarzazate later in the day ($8 entry).

    
  • Day 9

    Ait Benhaddou & Marrakech

    Visit Ait Benhaddou early before crowds arrive. Drive to Marrakech through the High Atlas Mountains. "The road over the Tizi n'Tichka pass can be rough - take motion sickness pills if you're sensitive. The views are worth it though."

    
  • Day 10

    Marrakech

    Spend your last day in the medina, Bahia Palace ($7 entry), and souks. "The morning is best for photography in Djemaa el-Fna square - by afternoon the heat and crowds can be overwhelming." Consider booking a late afternoon hammam to relax after exploring the markets.
