Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Tangier to Chefchaouen

    You'll start early from Tangier and head south toward the mountains. Along the drive, stop at the Hercules Caves and Cape Spartel where you can see where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic. After that, you'll swing through Tetouan to visit a waterfall before pushing on to Chefchaouen. Once you arrive, spend the evening walking through the medina with its distinctive blue-painted buildings and narrow streets. Your hotel or riad is where you'll stay the night, so take time to settle in and grab dinner.

    Leaving Chefchaouen, you'll drive through mountain terrain toward Volubilis, an old Roman site with interesting ruins scattered across the hillside. Take a couple hours to walk around the archaeological area before continuing to Meknes. There you'll visit the medina, check out Bab Mansour Gate, and see Qara Prison. Later in the afternoon, you'll drive to Fes and check into a traditional riad for the night.

The tanneries are next, where leather is still dyed using traditional methods. Fes El Bali, the old medina section and a UNESCO site, takes up most of your afternoon as you walk through its maze of alleys and see local handicrafts and architecture. By evening, head to the new city section for a quieter dinner and rest.

The landscape changes from green to desert as you approach Merzouga, and you'll settle into a hotel near the dunes for the evening.

    We loved our tour. Ismael our driver was attentive to our needs. The riads we stayed in and the experiences we had were great for introducing us to traditional Morocco. I would definitely recommend this tour.

    Thank you for an amazing experience. Mustafa was fun, caring, informative and very knowledgeable about all the areas we visited. We learnt so much from him. The accomodation was excellent and the recommendation to upgrade our tent in the desert was definitely worth it. Our guide in the desert, Saed, was also fun and attentive. For future travellers make sure you have a long scarf for wind protection in the desert, just in case. We travelled in a spacious air con van which was definitely needed. Thank you for an amazing experience. Morocco has been fabulous, especially the Sahara. I would definitely use this company again. Shukran Tour Radar and Mustafa. 🤎💙🩵

    My wife and I just did a 8 day tour through Marocco with Private Desert Tours and we had the best experience possible! We started from Marrakesh and went to Merzouga Desert, Fes, Chefshouan, etc. Everything was perfect. The hotels (Riads and Casas) were amazing, the transportation was very comfortable, we had guides waiting for us in every main city and tourist location, the food was incredible. I extra thanks to our guide and driver Ismail. He made everything even more special. Not only an amazing guide and driver, but great DJ and friend. Look no further! You just found the best option available for Marocco tours.
