Explore the Moroccan imperial cities and have a desert adventure with our 5 Days Morocco tour itinerary, beginning in Casablanca. We’ll take you on a journey through Rabat, Meknes, Fes, and the Merzouga Desert. Discover the rich culture and history of Morocco as you visit iconic landmarks like the Hassan II Mosque, and explore the cultural treasures of Fes. Your adventure continues with a desert adventure in Merzouga, where you’ll experience a camel trek and overnight glamping under the starry Sahara sky. You’ll also explore the breathtaking Todra Gorges and the historical Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah in Ouarzazate. The tour ends in the vibrant city of Marrakech.
During the first day of our 5-day desert tour from Casablanca, our driver will pick you up from the hotel or airport and start our trip. Our first stop will be the Hassan II Mosque. Then, travel to the capital city of Morocco (Rabat), where you will have free time to discover the Hassan Tower, Rabat Palace, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Kasbah of Oudayas. After we travel to Meknes, you will have time to see Lahdim Square, Bab Mansour, and Moulay Ismail Greenery. After that, head to the other Imperial City of Morocco, the Spiritual City of Morocco (Fes), where you will have an overnight stay in an authentic Riad.
After breakfast, you will have a guided tour of Fes, the cultural capital and one of the most important religious centers in the country. Its university is the oldest in the world. A guided tour will be organized for you to the old Medina, the oldest and most beautiful in Morocco, almost unchanged since the Middle Ages and declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Bab Boujloud or the Blue Gate of Fez, is the entrance to Medina, which looks like a labyrinth of streets and alleyways. In the middle lie the Kairouine mosque and university, which you will visit along with the Madrasa Bouanania, the tanneries, and the Najjarine fountain.
After that, we will leave Medina to visit the Jewish quarter “the Mellah”, and the Royal Palace gate. In the afternoon, we drive towards Midelt for around 2 hours; on our way, we will have a stop in Ifrane known as the Switzerland of Morocco, then go to the Cedar Forest to see the monkeys. We will reach our hotel in the middle of the Atlas Mountains in the evening, have an overnight stay, and be ready for the next day.
Today, we will travel to the Sahara desert via the Middle Atlas Mountains and the Ziz Valley, one of the largest palm groves & oases in southern Morocco. Our 5 Days Morocco tour from Casablanca goes on to Erfoud, famous for its fossil museums and factories.
Arriving in the Merzouga desert, you will experience camel trekking into the orange sand dunes in order to reach our Berber Merzouga Desert Camp. A break on top of the dune to enjoy a breathtaking sunset is included in your camel trekking desert trip. Enjoy the views, take pictures, and test the sandboarding.
After that, you’ll continue to the camp where you’ll be welcomed with a glass of tea and relax until dinner time. After dinner, there will be some traditional Berber drumming music, shooting stars, a campfire, and a chance to talk about cultures and histories with nomads.
The sunrise over the Erg Chebbi sand dunes will be spectacular, so be sure to get up early to see it. After a morning meal and shower at the desert camp, you’ll be returned to Merzouga Village by camel or 4×4. We will take the car to Rissani, where we will visit a fossil museum and stroll around the town’s historic market.
The journey then continues on to many more Berber villages, including Mellab, Tinjdad, and Jourf, a village that is famous for its ancient irrigation wells. We’ll next move on to Todra Valley and the towering 300-meter-tall canyons of the Todra gorges. The force of the water may indeed find its way between the cracks in the rocks. We will have a walk inside the gorge, then continue to Dades Valley where we will spend the night.
Today, after breakfast, we will travel from Dades Valley to Ouarzazate via the Thousands Kasbah road, sakura Oasis, and Roses Valley. After 27 km of the road, we will reach Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It has been used as a backdrop for shooting numerous Hollywood Movies including “Lawrence of Arabia”, “Gladiator”, “Kingdom of Heaven”, “Prince of Persia” and much more… The Kasbahs (fortresses) reflect the Exotic Moroccan architecture & culture. After exploring the kasbah, we will continue a little further on the High Atlas Mountains through the “Tichka pass” which will lead us to Marrakech, where our 5 days in Morocco itinerary, Imperial cities, and desert Tour experience ends.

EXCELLENTBased on 230 reviewsVerifiedFrances S2024-11-19A perfect desert tour! My mother and I did a short tour from Marrakesh out to the desert and then back to Fez. Mustafa was our guide and was absolutely incredible. He is so knowledgeable and kind and answered our thousands of questions! He was also super flexible and willing to make adjustments to our itinerary to accommodate our interests and energy at different points. The team organized a great tour, including wonderful places to stay. I’m always a little nervous about having a tour company book my hotels, but they made great choices. Strongly recommend arranging your travel with Desert Discovery Tours!!VerifiedAlex D2024-11-13An amazing and friendly experience across the Country We spent 4 days from Marrakesh to Merzouga and has been a very lovely time!The guide Youssef was very nice person, providing lot of information about the places we visited and local lifestyle and culture. Has been very patient with us and driving safely all the time.Very good and quiet hotels for the night stops and amazing food at lunch and dinner time.The time spent in the desert was amazing, listening some live music near the fire and also join it to play was special. All the guys from the agency where friendly and nice people, like hanging out with friends.I can't list all the placed we visited, as they where all interesting and beautiful!Some unplanned activity made the experience even more genuine like meeting Youssef's sister at the market, the sandstorm or help another guide to get the car unstuck from the sand.Definitely recommended!!Thanks to Youssef and Mustafa, hope to meet you again!VerifiedVacation7781452024-11-116 day Fez to Marrakesh Great 6 day tour from Fez to Marrakesh. Ibrahim is a great Guide and driver. Nature is fantastic. Desert and Fez Medina were our highlights.VerifiedJyothi R2024-10-26Amazing Desert trip Booked a 3 night 4 day tour from Fez to Marakesh. I knew we were going to have an adventure straight out of the Arabian Nights when our guide and driver,Hassan,dressed in his Berber costume, picked us up. We donned our scarves, morphed into Fatema and Katija, and took off on a magic carpet, aka Toyota Prado.The legendary Mustapha stopped to greet us along the way. Hassan was very knowledgeable about the desert and its people. He showed us newly formed lakes after the recent rains. He called restaurants ahead of us to request a variation on the vegetarian tagine after we told him we had one too many of those. He materialized clean toilets with tissue. We were entertained with local music, which we sang and danced to along the way. The choice of accommodation was superb. We were so impressed that we used DDT for a further 4 days in Marakech. Everything exceeded our expectations. Thank you, Mustapha and Hassan for a memorable tripVerifiedFrancesco V2024-10-25Amazing Trip The trip was amazing!

Well organized and satisfying. My friends and I were guided by the great Mustapha, an excellent guide, super friendly and competent. He accompanied us throughout the trip with his funny collaborator Hammi meeting all our needs. He chose the best hotels and restaurants for us. It was an unforgettable trip. Morocco and its people will remain in my heart forever.VerifiedDuncan Crossley2024-10-01An absolutely unforgettable and fabulous experience in Morocco. I joined the group in Chefchaouen on the 26 of September and stayed with my Italian friends till the 29 of September. I was only able to stay for part of the tour due to work commitments in Italy. However, during the three days that I was with the group and our excellent driver and guide Brahim, I had a brilliant time and experience. It was my fifth visit to Morocco and perhaps the best. Desert Discovery Tours & Morocco Travels is a very professional organization, providing excellent service to its customers. Brahim was kind, generous and very helpful at all times. He was knowledgeable about the places we visited and always concerned that we were treated well and had a good time. The hotel accomodation and meals provided were very good indeed. We visited a series of fascinating and beautiful places in Morocco. I would recommend Desert Discovery Tours to anyone who wants to get to know Morocco with the maximum of comfort and minimum of hassle. A truly 5* experience. Thank you so much for a magical and unforgettable experience in Morocco.VerifiedKate F2024-08-29Unforgettable experience! Do not hesitate to book your tour through this company. From the booking process to the end of the tour it was was stress free, flexible with a high level of professionalism. Our guide and driver Mustapha N made our trip so special. He's delightful, professional, a fabulous driver, has a wealth of knowledge about his country and a high moral conscious that is a testament to his parents and culture. A special mention of Amen, the tour guide Mustapha arranged for us in Fez. So passionate and knowledgeable, a fantastic day with him. All our accommodations chosen by DDT were beautiful. Thank you DDT and especially Mustapha for going above and beyond for us.VerifiedJo G2024-08-20Perfectly organised trip - Desert Discovery Tours highly recommended I usually research and book every aspect of our trips, so it was with some trepidation that I let Desert Discovery Tours handle our entire itinerary in Morrocco. I needn’t have worried as everything was fantastic – from the lovely boutique hotels, riads and luxury desert camp to the incredible sites, interesting and informative tours, and comfortable private van (with AC). We flew into Tangier for a 10-day tour of northern Morocco, including Chefchaouen, Fes, the Sahara Desert, the Atlas Mountains, and Marrakesh. Mustafa was very responsive in the run up to the vacation and from the minute Mustafa picked us up from the airport, everything ran like clockwork. Our driver, Mustafa (# 2), couldn’t have been more accommodating. Desert Discovery Tours is a small family run business and it shows in their attention to detail and their attitude to customer service. Highly recommended.VerifiedScenic550275414602024-08-19A TRIP OF A LIFETIME! I recently travelled through Morocco with Desert Discovery Tours, and I highly recommend their services. I had organised an 18-day personalised trip, a second honeymoon, together with Mustapha, From the beginning, the team was welcoming and professional, making the entire trip smooth and enjoyable.The itinerary was well-organized, striking a good balance between popular attractions and lesser-known spots. Accommodations were comfortable and met our expectations, and driver/guide (Mustapha) provided insightful information about Morocco's history and culture. We appreciated the careful planning and attention to detail, which made the journey stress-free.Exploring the Medina’s and souks of MOST cites including Marrakech, the historic sites in Fes, and the Sahara Desert were all highlights of the trip. Our absolute favourite city was Chefchaouen, Desert Discovery Tours ensured that everything, from transportation to meals, was well taken care of, allowing us to focus on enjoying the experience. IF you however have food allergies or intolerances, I suggest that you get more support, the Riad and Hotels struggled with supporting me, maybe take your own snacks!If you're considering a trip to Morocco, Desert Discovery Tours is a reliable choice. They offer a well-rounded travel experience that allows you to see the best of the country without any hassle.
