Our 12 days in Morocco tour from Casablanca is designed by our team and can be customized to our customer’s needs.
Our 12 days Morocco tour from Casablanca to the Sahara Desert includes camel riding over the Erg Chebbi dunes, passing the Atlas Mountains, learning about the Arabic and Berber cultures, and walking through the spectacular and filled souks of Marrakech, Fes, and Ouarzazate. Our leisurely one-week trek follows coastal paths to the picturesque city of Essaouira. Even though you will be visiting multiple destinations, you will travel slowly. It is sufficient that you will be able to appreciate the sites (rather than merely photographing them and departing) and that you will have sufficient time to truly experience the Moroccan way of life.
We begin our 12 days tour from Casablanca by welcoming you at the airport. Depending on the time of your arrival, our driver will transport you on a brief tour of the city, during which you will see the Cornish and Hassan II mosques, the third-largest mosque in the world. We will proceed to Rabat, the capital of Morocco, where you will have the opportunity to see the Hassan Tower and the Oudaya Kasbah before traveling to your Riad/Hotel in the middle of the medina.
After breakfast on the second day of our 12 days tour of Morocco, we’ll drive from Casablanca to Tangier, passing through Asilah. The majority of the trip will be made along the coast.

Chefchaouen, with its whitewashed structures and blue doorways and windows, is a delightful and distinctive city situated between two higher mountains. Chefchaouen, unlike many other regions of Morocco, was taken over by Spain, and as a result, Spanish culture and Moorish architecture have a significant influence.
