Tangier’s tour market runs heavily to group buses and cruise-day rushes. We work the opposite corner: private routes that begin at the strait — your vehicle, your driver, your licensed guide, nobody else’s schedule. These are the four shapes they take.
The northern cities line — 5 days, from €750
Tangier → Chefchaouen → Fes → Meknes → Casablanca: the north’s essentials in one southbound sweep. Two hours of Rif road deliver the blue city; Fes gets the full guided day it demands. Route details here.
The strait-to-Marrakech crossing — 6 days, from €900
The same opening, extended to the red city — north to south in six days, ferry dock to Jemaa el-Fna, without repeating a road.
The desert run — from €900
Tangier to the Sahara via Chefchaouen and Fes: the full arc from Mediterranean light to dune silence, drawn around your dates on the Tangier-to-desert route.
The Mediterranean grand tour — 15 days, from €2250
For the maximalists: Tangier, Al Hoceima’s turquoise coast, then the imperial cities — the rare itinerary that shows Morocco’s Mediterranean face before its Atlantic one.
Why private matters here specifically
The north’s magic lives in timing — Chefchaouen before the day-trippers, Café Hafa at the right light, ferry delays absorbed without drama. A private departure bends around all of it; a bus cannot. Start on our Tangier page or go straight to plan your journey.
Omar Chraibi — Omar writes about the north: Tangier, Tetouan, Chefchaouen and the Rif behind them. He has a soft spot for port cities and the particular light of the Strait, and he checks his recommendations the slow way — by bus, on foot, over too many glasses of mint tea in café windows. If a route through the blue city avoids the crowds, it is probably because Omar walked it at three different hours to be sure.
