Itinerary 6-day tour Tangier to Marrakech Moroccan desert trip

DAY 1: Tangier => Chefchaouen

=> Pick up from Tangiers airport, port or Mediterranean port. If the time allows us to visit Tangier. “Tangier, a fascinating Moroccan city guarding the Strait of Gibraltar. Enjoy an orientation tour of Tangier, visiting the Cap Spartel and the cave of Hercules.

 Have free time for lunch and spend the rest of the day at leisure. Perhaps, sip mint tea in one of the cafes along the water, offering panoramic views of the Strait and Atlantic Ocean”.

=> Then. You continue along the way stopping in Chefchaouen, which is located in the Moroccan Rif Mountains. The city is known as the “Blue Pearl” and is painted in various shades of blue, a custom dating back to the 15th century, when an influx of Jews fleeing the Spanish Inquisition settled in Chefchaouen in the first day of 6-day tour Tangier to Marrakech Moroccan desert trip.

 They brought with them the tradition of painting buildings blue to reflect the sky and remind them of God.

DAY 2: Chefchaouen => Vilubilos => Fes

=> After breakfast, you’ll enjoy your morning in Chefchaouen exploring the sights, sounds and smells of the city, the shops in the square selling textiles and small pastries, and most importantly, enjoying a taste of the city’s famous goat cheese. 

Herds of goats roam the scattered hillsides that surround the city of Chefchaouen, and their cheese is sold on wonderful fresh tours in the street markets. In the afternoon, travel to Fez, the most complete medieval city in the Arab world. Fez is the spiritual and cultural heart of Morocco – vibrant, bustling, fascinating an–nchanting – a visual feast for the senses.

You will have free time for the rest of the day to explore. This evening is a great time to look out for Moroccan specialties such as harira (chickpea soup).

DAY 3: Exploring old medina of Fes

=> Sencond day of 6-day tour Tangier to Marrakech Moroccan desert tripYou will spend an entire day exploring Fez, the spiritual and cultural capital of Morocco. 

You will need to memorize every detail of the narrow city streets so that you can share this once in a lifetime experience with your friends and family! A professional guide will lead you through the transformation paths of this medieval city and explain the significance of the places to visit.
Imagine seeing sight filled with slippers of every color, shimmering hammered gold plates, a wall of red and brown carpets…

Every neighborhood has a bakery and a fountain. Your guide will take you to the weavers, where you will watch them craft a beautiful piece of cloth before your eyes. Choose a scarf to wear in the Sahara Desert! Next stop is tanneries. From an elevated deck, you’ll look into several basins of dye and learn about the leather-making process.

This is the land of fiercely independent Berbers, masters of the Atlas, whose traditions and ways still prevail here in their mountain strongholds far from the cities below. The Berbers offer us a unique insight into a way of life lost in the rest of North Africa, where music and dance, and even language and religion, are far from their Arab neighbours.

=> You continue your way into the Berber sheep-breeding country, heading to Timadite and over the Col du Zad, before crossing the Tizi Talghemt Camel Pass and continuing through the Gorge Ziz to Er Rachidia.

 On the way you will pass palm groves Tinjad and Tinghir. Then you will reach the Todra Gorge which is one of the most visited and breathtaking landscapes in southern Morocco. A riverbed in the shape of giant reddish walls plus a paradise for climbers. 

You will have lunch there and walk if you’d like. As evening falls, you will already lead you towards the Dades Valley. You will spend the night in the Strait of Dades Gorge on the fifth day tour Tangier to Marrakech Moroccan desert trip 6 day.

DAY 6: Dades => Ouarzazate => Ait Ben Haddou => High Atlas mountains => Marrakech

=> After having breakfast in the early morning, you will drive towards the Ouarzazate, a desert city at the gates of the desert. Its strange name means “without noise” in the Berber language. 

Walk around the village of Taourirt, which was built in the 12th century and is still inhabited today. It was an important village located at the crossroads between the Sahara and northern Morocco. Your tour also includes the Kasbah Taourirt, an impressive building that was built to house hundreds of people.

This famous kasbah was built in Morocco during the 20th century by Tohami El Galaoui, one of the last Berber chiefs. Within the walls of the Kasbah, which used to be one of El Galaoui’s stops on his long journey to Marrakesh, there are half a dozen merchant houses and other individual residences that will surely amaze you because of the unique way in which they are built.

6 days tour from Tangier to Marrakech and Merzouga desert

As two women traveling in Morocco (12 days) we decided hiring a local Moroccan-born guide would be the most efficient and offer the greatest peace of mind. We were right and had a wonderful and very memorable time (memories which will last a lifetime). The broad overview: 1) trustworthy/professional; 2) organized; 3) highly knowledgeable of the history, culture, activities; 4) knew many local people in every town, and 5) allowed for flexibility on start times, end times, and what to see and do each day. We felt safe at ALL times and enjoyed every aspect of the Tangier desert tour…
