You step out of Casablanca’s airport into an ocean breeze and a driver waiting with a chilled bottle of water — the city’s modern shoreline gives way, day by day, to blue-gated medinas, cedar forests and an expanse of dunes that seem to push the horizon back.

You step out of Casablanca’s airport into an ocean breeze and a driver waiting with a chilled bottle of water — the city’s modern shoreline gives way, day by day, to blue-gated medinas, cedar forests and an expanse of dunes that seem to push the horizon back.
This 13-day private tour threads Morocco’s major cultural and geological landmarks: the Atlantic façades of Casablanca and Essaouira, the Phoenician and Roman remains at Volubilis, the blue lanes of Chefchaouen, the cedar groves of the Middle Atlas, the High Atlas passes of Tizi n’Tichka (over 2,000 m), and the sweeping Erg Chebbi dunes at Merzouga where camel saddles creak at sunrise.
History is constant company — Roman mosaics, Almoravid and Saadian palaces, and ksour made of sun-baked earth where caravan routes once moved salt and gold. Geology shifts from oceanic limestone and coastal plains to folded metamorphics in the Atlas and wind-carved sand in the Sahara; the landscape often feels like a patient sculptor shaping routes for humans to follow.
You’ll meet Gnawa musicians in Khamlia, taste argan oil near Essaouira, and walk medina souks where zellige tile and carved cedar announce craft traditions alive for centuries.
Practical note: expect long drive segments (several 3–6 hour legs) balanced with walking tours and a camel ride into Merzouga’s dunes with a night in a luxury camp. Pack layered clothing for hot days and cool nights, sun protection for desert crossings, and shoes for cobbled streets. The private format includes airport transfers, accommodations and key meals — ideal for travelers who want curated access to Morocco’s imperial spine without the logistics stress.
moderate.
13 days.
Suitable for travelers in average fitness; involves multiple 1–2 hour walking tours, short hikes, camel rides and long vehicle transfers—able-bodied mobility recommended.
The tour is private and can be adapted, but it includes uneven medina streets, camel rides and long drives; notify the operator about mobility needs for tailored arrangements.
No special vaccinations are universally required for Morocco, but routine immunizations should be up to date; consult a travel clinic for current advice and bring any personal medications.
The itinerary mixes guided visits with free afternoons in places like Essaouira and Chefchaouen—expect opportunities for independent wandering and shopping.
Moroccan dirham is local currency; tipping is customary for guides and drivers (small daily amounts), and small change is useful for market purchases.
The route threads imperial capitals shaped by Roman, Arab and Berber dynasties; Meknes and Volubilis reveal Roman and Alaouite legacies, while kasbahs reflect centuries of caravan trade.
Water is scarce in southern Morocco—stick to provided water and minimize laundry requests in desert camps; support local cooperatives when buying argan and craft products.
RMT Tours operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
