Planning your visit
Your journey, day by day
TANGIER – TETUAN – CHEFCHAOUEN
Leave Tangier with your private driver and continue toward Chefchaouen. The route passes Tetuan, with time built in for viewpoints, short visits and comfortable breaks rather than the fixed pace of a group tour. Chefchaouen offers a slower pace among blue- washed lanes, small squares and mountain views in the Rif. This stage combines Rif Mountain scenery and Chefchaouen’s blue medina. With no coach timetable to follow, photo stops, refreshments and short walks can fit naturally into the day. Chefchaouen is known for its blue medina in the Rif Mountains, with lanes, slopes and steps best explored without rushing.
CHEFCHAOUEN – VOLUBILIS – MEKNES – FES
Today’s private drive links Chefchaouen with Fes. Stops around Volubilis and Meknes add a different mix of landscape and local life, and the timing can flex around the places that interest you most. At Volubilis, Roman arches, columns and mosaics reveal one of Morocco’s most important archaeological sites. Meknes brings imperial architecture, monumental gates and a more relaxed medina atmosphere to the route. Today is shaped around Roman archaeology at Volubilis, Rif Mountain scenery and Chefchaouen’s blue medina. Private transport makes it easier to pause where the route is most interesting and move on when a stop needs less time.
EXPLORE FES WITH LOCAL GUIDE
On day 3 of “7 Days Tangier to Marrakech via Sahara”, the stage “EXPLORE FES WITH LOCAL GUIDE” is planned around the places named in this itinerary. Fes has a historic medina of lanes, artisan workshops and traditional architecture; guiding or admissions are included only when booked. The programme can combine historic neighbourhoods, viewpoints or local cultural experiences according to the city and the time available. Check whether a licensed local guide, monument entrances and any activities are included in your quotation. Your driver or guide will confirm the agreed meeting point, walking pace and practical timing for the day. This stage follows “CHEFCHAOUEN – VOLUBILIS – MEKNES – FES”. The next programmed stage is “FES – MIDDLE ATLAS MOUNTAINS – MIDELT – ZIZ VALLEY – ERFOUD – MERZOUGA”. Confirm the local guide, entrance arrangements and daily schedule with the team before departure.
FES – MIDDLE ATLAS MOUNTAINS – MIDELT – ZIZ VALLEY – ERFOUD – MERZOUGA
Travel privately from Fes to Merzouga via Middle Atlas Mountains, Midelt, Ziz Valley and Erfoud. Your driver keeps the day practical while leaving enough flexibility for scenic pauses, short walks and local visits along the route. Midelt provides a natural pause between the Middle Atlas and the Ziz Valley, framed by mountain scenery. The Ziz Valley opens into a long ribbon of palms, fortified villages and panoramic viewpoints above the oasis. Look forward to a camel trek into Erg Chebbi, sunset over the dunes, a Sahara camp evening. Your driver manages the practical side of the route while you focus on the scenery, local atmosphere and the places included in the itinerary.
MERZOUGA – RISSANI – TODRA GORGES – DADES VALLEY
After breakfast, depart Merzouga for Dades Valley. Rather than rushing through Rissani and Todra Gorges, the itinerary gives these places a meaningful role in the day and keeps the driving balanced with sightseeing. Rissani offers a glimpse of the Tafilalt’s trading history and, on market days, one of the region’s liveliest traditional souks. This stage combines sunrise over Erg Chebbi, the transition from dunes back to oasis and valley landscapes, gorge scenery and short walks. With no coach timetable to follow, photo stops, refreshments and short walks can fit naturally into the day. The Erg Chebbi dunes change colour as the light shifts, and the timing of visits or activities depends on conditions and the arrangements booked.
DADES VALLEY – SKOURA – OUARZAZATE – AIT BEN HADDOU – MARRAKECH
Continue from Dades Valley to Marrakech on a private route through Skoura, Ouarzazate and Ait Ben Haddou. The schedule is deliberately adaptable, so road conditions, daylight and your interests can shape the exact timing of each stop. Around Skoura, palm groves and historic kasbahs break up the drive through the oasis landscape. Ouarzazate introduces the kasbah landscapes and film locations of southern Morocco before the road continues deeper into the valleys. Today is shaped around gorge scenery and short walks, kasbah architecture and southern Morocco’s film landscapes. Private transport makes it easier to pause where the route is most interesting and move on when a stop needs less time.
