  • Days 1-2

    Casablanca & Rabat

    Start at the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca at 8:00 AM to avoid crowds and catch the best morning light. Drive an hour up the coast to Rabat and visit the Chellah necropolis in the late afternoon when it's cooler.

  • Days 3-5

    Northern Coast & Chefchaouen

    Visit Asilah's whitewashed medina and Tangier's Kasbah before heading to Chefchaouen, the Blue Pearl of Morocco. The narrow streets get packed during midday so go early morning or evening. Wear sturdy shoes since the cobblestone paths can be slippery.

    
  • Days 6-7

    Volubilis & Meknes

    Start at the Roman ruins of Volubilis when they open at 8:30 AM before the day heats up. Move on to Meknes to see the impressive Bab Mansour gate and granaries. Stay in the medina to be close to the evening food markets.

    Sahara Desert

    Travel through the Middle Atlas mountains to Merzouga to access the Sahara. Plan to spend two nights in the desert for the full experience. The camel trek to camp takes about 90 minutes. Summer temperatures often go above 105°F (40°C) so bring lots of water and sun protection.

One visitor noted: "Getting lost in the souks is part of the experience—but drop a Google Maps pin at your riad entrance!"

    
  • Days 19-21

    Coastal Finale

    Wrap up your trip with visits to Essaouira's relaxed medina and El Jadida's Portuguese cisterns before returning to Casablanca. The coastal route offers a pleasant break after the desert heat. Book your flight after 2 PM to allow time for traffic from El Jadida.
