The 6-day Morocco desert tour from Casablanca is the complete Morocco experience — three imperial cities and the Sahara in under a week. Start at Casablanca airport, visit Chefchaouen’s blue streets, explore the Fes Medina with a guide, ride a camel at sunset into Erg Chebbi, sleep in a luxury camp, then continue through the gorges, kasbahs, and the High Atlas to Marrakech. From €495 per person with your own private 4×4.
Six days, one direction: this route starts at Casablanca airport and ends in Marrakech, so nothing is driven twice. Chefchaouen’s blue streets first, then a guided day in the Fes medina, the long road south to Erg Chebbi for the sunset camel ride and a night in a luxury desert camp, and finally the gorges, the kasbah country and the High Atlas crossing into Marrakech. From €495 per person with your own private 4×4, driver, licensed guide and every night’s accommodation included.
Most Morocco desert tours assume you start in Marrakech; this one is built for travellers landing at Casablanca — the country’s main intercontinental gateway — and refuses to waste the geography. Three imperial-era cities and the Sahara fit in under a week precisely because the route never loops back north.
It suits first trips on a tight window: land Monday, sleep in the dunes Thursday, fly out of Marrakech Saturday. Private departure on your dates, never in a group — send them on WhatsApp and the day-by-day quote, hotels named, comes back within the hour.
Most desert tours assume you start in Marrakech; this one is built for the way most intercontinental travellers actually land — at Casablanca — and refuses to waste the geography.

Three imperial-era cities and the Sahara in under a week, from €495 per person, private throughout.
Itinerary
Open a day to see the detail: transport, accommodation, meals and activity time.
Day 1 Casablanca to the blue city
Pickup at Casablanca airport or your hotel and the road north-east to Chefchaouen. The blue streets take the late afternoon at walking pace, and the riad night is in the medina itself.
Day 2 Chefchaouen to Fes
Morning light on the blue lanes — the photographs the town is famous for — then the road south to Fes for the first of two riad nights.
Day 3 Fes, guided
A local licensed guide leads the full day through the Fes medina: tanneries, madrasas, artisan lanes and the views that make sense of the maze. Dinner at leisure.
Day 4 The long road to the dunes
The honest long leg: across the Middle Atlas and the sun-baked plains to Merzouga, where camels carry you into Erg Chebbi for sunset and a luxury ensuite camp night.
Day 5 Gorges and kasbah country
Sunrise over the dunes, then west with guided stops at Tinghir and the Todra Gorge before the Dades Valley night.
Day 6 Aït Ben Haddou and the Tichka to Marrakech
The kasbah road to a guided visit of the Aït Ben Haddou ksar, then the High Atlas crossing into Marrakech — six days, one direction, nothing driven twice.

Questions travellers ask
How much does 6-Day Morocco Desert Tour from Casablanca cost?+
From €495 per person with your own private 4×4, per person. The price includes private ac 4×4 or van with english/french-speaking driver-guide — 6 full days, pickup from casablanca airport or hotel, night 1: chefchaouen riad — half-board. You receive a written itemised quote before paying anything — no hidden fees.
How long is this tour and when does it depart?+
6 Days, departing on the dates you choose — there is no fixed schedule, because every departure is arranged for you alone.
Is this a group tour or private?+
Fully private: your own vehicle, driver and licensed guide, never seat-in-coach and never mixed with other travellers. The daily pace flexes around you.
Where is the desert in Morocco?+
South and east of the Atlas mountains. The named destinations, in order of distance from Marrakech: the Agafay stone desert 45 minutes away (no sand dunes), the Zagora dunes down the Draa valley at 360 km, Erg Chigaga beyond M'Hamid where the tarmac ends, and the great Erg Chebbi dune sea at Merzouga, 560 km out — the Sahara of the photographs.
How much of Morocco is desert?+
Broadly, everything south and east of the Atlas watershed is arid or Saharan — roughly half the country by area. The photogenic sand seas are actually small pockets of that expanse: Erg Chebbi and Erg Chigaga are each a day's drive apart, islands of dunes in a vast landscape of stone, oases and kasbah valleys.
What should I wear on a Morocco desert tour?+
Layers, always: desert days can hit 30°C while nights drop near freezing outside summer. The working formula is light long sleeves and trousers for sun and camels, a warm fleece or jacket for the camp evening, closed shoes for sand and stones, sunglasses, and a scarf (a cheche) — bought in any souk for a few dirhams — for sun, wind and the photograph. Luggage stays in the vehicle; you carry a small overnight bag to the camp.
How far is the Sahara desert from Marrakech?+
The honest ladder: the Agafay stone desert is 45 minutes away (no sand dunes, but real desert scenery); the first true Sahara dunes at Zagora are 360 km — about 6 hours over the Tizi n'Tichka; the great Erg Chebbi dunes at Merzouga are 560 km — 8 to 9 hours, which is why serious itineraries take 3–4 days. There is no Sahara 'day trip' from Marrakech worth the name — anyone selling one is selling Agafay.
