Experience Morocco in its full magnificent diversity with this comprehensive 13-day grand Morocco tour that seamlessly blends culture, history, nature, and adventure into one extraordinary journey. Designed for discerning travelers who want to see it all without sacrificing comfort, this luxury Morocco tour takes you from the Atlantic shores of Casablanca through the kingdom’s most iconic destinations to the golden dunes of the Sahara.
Your private Morocco tour begins in Casablanca, where the breathtaking Hassan II Mosque—the world’s third-largest mosque—stands as a masterpiece of modern Islamic architecture, its minaret soaring 210 meters over the Atlantic Ocean. Travel north to Rabat, Morocco’s elegant capital, to explore the 12th-century Kasbah of the Udayas, the iconic Hassan Tower, and the Royal Palace exterior.
A special highlight of this 13 days Morocco itinerary is the journey into the Rif Mountains to discover the Akchour Waterfalls. This full-day nature escape takes you on a guided hike to spectacular cascades and a natural stone bridge, with a picnic lunch surrounded by pristine mountain scenery—a refreshing contrast to the imperial cities.
Return to history at Volubilis, North Africa’s best-preserved Roman ruins, where 2,000-year-old mosaics and columns tell tales of an ancient empire. What makes this visit unique is the included vineyard lunch and wine tasting—Morocco’s growing wine scene is one of its best-kept secrets. Continue to Meknes to admire the monumental Bab Mansour gate before arriving in Fes.
Fes, Morocco’s spiritual and cultural heart, deserves a full day of exploration. Your certified local guide will lead you through the Fes el-Bali medina—the world’s largest car-free urban area and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visit the legendary Chouara Tanneries, where leather has been dyed using the same methods for centuries, discover hidden fondouks (merchant inns), and enjoy a rooftop lunch overlooking the medieval labyrinth.
The journey south transforms dramatically as you cross the Middle Atlas Mountains and descend through the palm-lined Ziz Valley to Merzouga and the Erg Chebbi dunes. Here begins your Sahara Desert experience: a private camel trek through the golden sands at sunset leads to a luxury desert camp where traditional Berber dinner, live music around the campfire, and a night under a blanket of stars await.
From the desert, traverse the dramatic Todra Gorge and Dades Valley, where towering canyon walls and “monkey toes” rock formations create nature’s masterpiece. Drive through the fragrant Valley of Roses to Ouarzazate, Morocco’s film capital, before arriving at the crown jewel of southern Morocco: Ait Ben Haddou. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the world’s most spectacular fortified villages, having starred in films from Gladiator to Game of Thrones.
Cross the High Atlas Mountains via the scenic Tizi n’Tichka Pass (2,260m) to Marrakech, where three days of exploration await. Discover the Bahia Palace, the Koutoubia Mosque, and the electric Jemaa el-Fna Square with an insider guide who reveals hidden souk alleys. Visit the iconic Majorelle Garden, with its cobalt blue paths and exotic plants. Enjoy free days for optional experiences—a Moroccan cooking class, traditional hammam spa, or deeper medina exploration—before a farewell dinner concludes your journey.
With private transportation, expert guides, boutique accommodations, and the freedom to customize your experience, this Morocco Sahara tour delivers the perfect balance of luxury, adventure, and cultural immersion for an unforgettable 13-day odyssey.

After settling in, enjoy a welcome briefing about your journey ahead. In the evening, savor a gourmet Moroccan dinner at a carefully selected restaurant before taking a sunset walk along the Corniche, Casablanca's scenic waterfront promenade, to watch the sun dip below the Atlantic horizon.
Begin your day with a visit to the magnificent Hassan II Mosque, the only mosque in Morocco open to non-Muslims and an architectural wonder featuring the world's tallest minaret (210m), intricate zellige tilework, carved cedar wood, and a retractable roof. The mosque is uniquely built on a platform over the Atlantic Ocean, with a glass floor revealing the waves below. After this awe-inspiring visit, travel north along the Atlantic coast to Rabat, Morocco's political capital and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore the 12th-century Kasbah of the Udayas with its blue-and-white streets and ocean panoramas, the iconic unfinished Hassan Tower, and view the exterior of the Royal Palace. Overnight in a refined riad in the capital.
Leave the imperial cities behind and journey into the Rif Mountains for a full-day nature adventure at Akchour, one of Morocco's most beautiful natural areas. Enjoy a guided hike through cedar and oak forests, following crystal-clear streams to discover the spectacular Akchour Waterfalls—a series of cascades plunging into turquoise pools. Continue to the impressive Natural Bridge, a stone arch formed over millennia. Enjoy a delicious picnic lunch prepared with fresh local ingredients amidst the mountain scenery. This refreshing day in nature provides a perfect contrast to the urban exploration of the previous days. Return to nearby accommodation for a relaxing evening.
Depart the mountains and travel to the extraordinary Roman ruins of Volubilis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the best-preserved Roman archaeological site in North Africa. Wander among 2,000-year-old columns, triumphal arches, and remarkably intact floor mosaics depicting Roman gods, myths, and daily life. What makes this visit special is the included vineyard tour and wine tasting—enjoy a leisurely lunch at a local winery, sampling Moroccan wines paired with regional delicacies, a unique experience that reveals Morocco's surprising viticultural heritage. Continue to Meknes, one of Morocco's four imperial cities, to admire the majestic Bab Mansour gate—widely considered the most beautiful gateway in North Africa—and visit the impressive Royal Stables. Arrive in Fes by evening.
Spend a full immersive day in Fes, Morocco's spiritual and cultural capital, with a certified local guide. Begin at the legendary Chouara Tanneries, where leather has been dyed using the same natural methods for over a thousand years—the colorful vats create one of Morocco's most iconic sights. Explore artisan neighborhoods where master craftsmen still practice ancient trades, from brasswork to woodcarving to textile weaving. View the exterior of Al Quaraouiyine University, founded in 859 AD and recognized as the oldest continuously operating university in the world. Discover hidden fondouks (traditional merchant inns) that now house workshops and galleries. Enjoy a special rooftop lunch overlooking the medieval medina labyrinth, then continue exploring vibrant souks filled with spices, ceramics, and handmade goods.
Leave Fes and travel southeast through the dramatic landscapes of the Middle Atlas Mountains, passing through cedar forests where Barbary macaques roam. Descend through the stunning Ziz Valley, with its lush palm groves and dramatic canyon walls, following ancient caravan routes that once connected sub-Saharan Africa to the Mediterranean. Arrive in Merzouga at the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes, where golden sand mountains rise up to 150 meters high. In the late afternoon, embark on a private camel trek into the desert, riding through the dunes as the sun paints the sand in shades of orange, red, and purple. Arrive at your luxury desert camp as stars begin to appear. Enjoy a traditional Berber dinner, listen to Gnawa music around the campfire, and fall asleep under one of the most spectacular night skies on Earth.
Wake before dawn to witness a Sahara sunrise—one of travel's most magical moments as the first light transforms the dunes into a golden sea stretching to the horizon. After breakfast at camp, camel trek back to Merzouga. Begin your journey through the dramatic gorges of southern Morocco, starting with the Todgha Gorge, where 300-meter sheer canyon walls tower above a narrow river—a favorite spot for rock climbers and nature lovers. Continue to the Dades Valley, known for its spectacular "monkey fingers" rock formations sculpted by wind and water over millions of years. Explore cliffside villages and enjoy scenic viewpoints overlooking the valley. Overnight in a boutique kasbah-style guesthouse that blends traditional architecture with modern comfort.
Drive through the fragrant Valley of Roses, where thousands of rose bushes bloom each spring (the town of Kalaat Mgouna hosts an annual rose festival). Continue through stunning mountain scenery and High Atlas passes to Ouarzazate, known as the "Hollywood of Africa" for its massive film studios where blockbusters like Gladiator, Lawrence of Arabia, and Game of Thrones were filmed. The highlight of the day is Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world's most spectacular fortified villages (ksour). Walk through its ancient alleys, climb to the granary for panoramic views of the surrounding desert and mountains, and learn about the Berber families who still maintain this architectural treasure. Overnight in a beautifully restored kasbah guesthouse within or near the site.
Begin the scenic journey across the High Atlas Mountains via the legendary Tizi n'Tichka Pass (2,260m), Morocco's highest paved mountain road. The drive offers spectacular panoramic views of Berber villages, terraced fields, and snow-capped peaks (in winter). Stop for photos at strategic viewpoints and visit a traditional Berber village along the way. As you descend from the mountains, the landscape transitions to the red-earth plains surrounding Marrakech. Arrive in the late afternoon and check into your riad. Enjoy a free evening to relax, wander the nearby streets, or begin exploring the medina on your own.
Explore Marrakech with an insider local guide who reveals both iconic sights and hidden gems. Visit the exquisite Bahia Palace, a 19th-century masterpiece featuring stunning gardens, intricate zellige tilework, and carved cedar ceilings. View the exterior of the Koutoubia Mosque, whose 12th-century minaret has served as the model for landmarks across the Islamic world. Discover the Saadian Tombs, hidden for centuries and now revealed as a treasure of Moroccan decoration. The afternoon focuses on the legendary Jemaa el-Fna Square—a UNESCO Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage—where snake charmers, musicians, storytellers, and food stalls create a living theater. Your guide will lead you through hidden souk alleys less visited by tourists, where you can observe artisans at work and find unique treasures.
Begin the day at the iconic Majorelle Garden, originally created by French painter Jacques Majorelle in the 1920s and later owned by fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. The garden's cobalt blue villa, exotic plants from five continents, and tranquil atmosphere make it one of Morocco's most photographed sites. Visit the adjacent Yves Saint Laurent Museum to see the designer's works and learn about his deep connection to Morocco. The afternoon and evening are at leisure—perfect for deeper medina exploration, artisan shopping in the souks, or indulging in a traditional Moroccan hammam spa experience to relax after your journey.
Enjoy a full free day in Marrakech to design your own experience based on your interests. Options include: a hands-on Moroccan cooking class to learn the secrets of tagine, couscous, and pastilla; additional riad spa treatments including massages and beauty rituals; a day trip to the Agafay Desert for a different landscape experience; a visit to the Museum of Moroccan Arts or Dar Si Said Museum; or simply more time to wander, photograph, and absorb the magic of this incredible city. A personalized guide is available for recommendations and assistance. In the evening, gather for a special farewell dinner to celebrate your 13-day Moroccan odyssey.
Savor a final Moroccan breakfast at your riad, perhaps enjoying one last mint tea on a rooftop terrace overlooking the city. Your private driver will transfer you to Marrakech Menara Airport (or Casablanca airport if preferred) at your convenience. Depart with incredible memories, stunning photographs, new friendships, and a deep connection to the spirit of Morocco—a journey that has revealed the kingdom's imperial grandeur, natural wonders, desert magic, and vibrant culture in just 13 perfect days.
Waterfalls in the Rif, wine at Roman ruins, stars above Erg Chebbi — Morocco doesn’t do ordinary, and neither does this tour.
