Tour overview
The 10-day Morocco tour from Casablanca is a private round trip by Highlights Morocco Tours. It starts with the Hassan II Mosque, goes through Rabat to Chefchaouen, visits Volubilis, Meknes and Fes, spends a night in a Sahara desert camp at Merzouga, follows the Dades Valley and Ait Ben Haddou to Marrakech, adds Essaouira and returns to Casablanca. It includes a private driver and a local guide who speaks English or Spanish. The price is on request, with a free quote and no obligation.
Ten days is a comfortable length to see the best of Morocco without rushing. If you arrive in Casablanca, you can start the loop the same day: the north and the imperial cities first, then the desert, Marrakech and the Atlantic coast, and back to Casablanca for your flight.
It is a typical route, not a fixed script. We adapt the stops and nights to your dates and pace, and we can add days in the desert, in Fes, in Marrakech or on the coast. For a shorter trip see our 8-day Morocco tours, and for a longer one our 14-day Morocco tours.

Why this route
Casablanca is a good entry point for many flights. This tour turns the whole trip into a loop, so you finish where you arrived and never repeat a road.
The north gives you Rabat and Chefchaouen, the centre gives you Fes, the south gives you the dunes and the High Atlas, and the coast closes the trip.

This 10-day Morocco itinerary from Casablanca suits first-time visitors who want imperial cities, the Sahara and the coast in one private trip, without handling transport themselves. Couples, families with older children and small groups of friends all fit well. Be honest with yourself about the driving: Fes to Merzouga is about 460 km and Essaouira to Casablanca about 370 km, so those are long days in the car with stops. If you dislike full travel days, ask us about a longer version.
Spring and autumn are usually the most comfortable seasons for this Morocco tour from Casablanca, with pleasant days in the cities and the desert. Summer can be very hot inland, especially around Merzouga, Dades and Marrakech, while the coast around Essaouira stays fresher. In winter the desert nights are cold and snow is possible on the High Atlas near the Tizi n'Tichka pass, although the cities and the coast remain easy to visit. Tell us your dates and we will say honestly what to expect.
For the 10-day Morocco tour from Casablanca, pack light layers, a warm jacket or fleece for the night at the desert camp, a scarf for sun and dust, sunglasses, sun cream and closed, comfortable shoes for medina cobbles and dunes. Bring cash in dirhams, because lunches, drinks, entrance fees and tips are not included in the tour. Dress modestly in the old towns and mosque areas, keep a small day bag for the dune night, and carry a charger for your phone.
