8 Days From Casablanca Imperial Cities & Sahara Desert Tour

Description

This 8-day tour from Casablanca is an ideal option if you want to cover Morocco’s essential Imperial Cities while still experiencing the magic of the Sahara Desert (Merzouga / Erg Chebbi) in a single trip. It blends guided cultural visits—grand monuments, UNESCO-listed medinas, and historic architecture—with a scenic overland journey through changing landscapes: Atlantic coastline, Roman ruins, the Middle Atlas mountains, palm-filled valleys, dramatic gorges, and finally the dunes.

The itinerary is designed to be efficient but not chaotic: you’ll spend time in Rabat, Fez, and Marrakech, with the desert portion offering a true highlight—sunset over the dunes, a night in a desert camp (standard or luxury), and the option to choose camel trekking or a 4×4 transfer for comfort. Along the route, you’ll also discover iconic “kasbah road” scenery including Todra Gorge, Dades Valley, and Aït Benhaddou, making this tour a complete first-time Morocco experience in just over a week.
