The best 7 Day desert Tour from Tangier to Marrakech

On the first day of our 7 Day desert Tour from Tangier to Marrakech, we will pick you up from the airport/port and make your way to Chefchaouen or Chaouen via the Beautiful Mountains to enjoy the beautiful views of the scenery and small villages. Generally, the Blue City is a small town with almost 43,000 inhabitants, and the Blue Pearl has become a tourist photography destination.

Its narrow medina blue streets, white and blue houses, and beautiful location in the middle of the mountains make it unique. Therefore, you have a free afternoon to explore it. Firstly, you will discover the Ras El Ma waterfalls around the city. Then, you will visit the main square and the Kasbah, which has Andalusian architecture in the middle of Chefchaouen Medina.

After breakfast in your riad/hotel, we will leave the blue city and move towards the cultural city, Fes. There are two attractions on the way: Volubilis and Meknes. Firstly, we will drive through green hills, open vast lands, and wheat fields. We will stop in Volubilis, the best-preserved Roman ruins in Morocco. A guided tour inside the Roman site will take you back to the myths of Rome through the stunning mosaic, streets, columns, and arches—moreover, a quick stop at the holy city of Moulay Idriss/ Moulay Idris Zarhoun.

After that, we will head to Meknes, a 17th-century heritage site, where we will stop for lunch. Then, we will visit the sites, including the Bab El Mansour, Moulay Ismail’s tomb, and the granary.
