Tour overview

The complete Morocco trip in 14 days

The 14-day Morocco tour from Marrakech is a private round trip by Highlights Morocco Tours. It covers Marrakech with a day trip, Ait Ben Haddou and the Dades Valley, two nights in a Sahara desert camp at Merzouga, Fes, Chefchaouen, Rabat, Casablanca and Essaouira, and ends in Marrakech. 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.

Two weeks is the best length to see Morocco without rushing. Starting in Marrakech, you begin with the red city and a day trip, cross the Atlas to the desert, go north through Fes and the Rif, and come back down the Atlantic coast with a free day in Essaouira before the last night in Marrakech.

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.

Who is the Marrakech 14-day Morocco itinerary for?

This 14-day Morocco itinerary from Marrakech is aimed at travellers who want the full country in two weeks and prefer to arrive and leave through Marrakech. Two nights in the desert and two free days, one in Chefchaouen and one in Essaouira, make it comfortable for couples, families and older travellers.

Best time for 14 days in Morocco from Marrakech

Spring and autumn are generally the best time for 14 days in Morocco from Marrakech, as the south, the imperial cities and the north are all comfortable. Summer is very hot in Marrakech, the Dades Valley and the Sahara, so the schedule leans on mornings and evenings. In winter the Merzouga nights are cold, snow is possible on the High Atlas pass, and Fes and Chefchaouen can be wet and chilly. The Atlantic coast is mild in most months.

For this 14-day tour from Marrakech, pack light layers, a warm jacket for the desert nights, a scarf, a hat, sun protection and closed shoes for dunes and medina lanes. A small bag for the two camp nights keeps things simple. Take cash for tips, lunches and drinks, because lunches, drinks, entrance fees and tips are not included. Optional extras on free days, such as a hammam or a cooking class, are paid locally.

FAQ

Questions about the 14-day tour

About the trip, how to book it and who we are.

The tour

Is 14 days in Morocco enough?

Yes. Two weeks is the best length to see Morocco without rushing. In 14 days you can combine the imperial cities, the Atlas, the Sahara, the blue town of Chefchaouen and the Atlantic coast, with free days to rest.

What is the best 14-day Morocco itinerary from Marrakech?

A popular 14-day itinerary from Marrakech goes Dades Valley, Merzouga, Fes, Chefchaouen, Rabat, Casablanca and Essaouira, and back to Marrakech. It avoids repeating the same road and includes two nights in the Sahara.

How much driving is there on a 14-day Morocco tour?

Morocco is big, so there are some long driving days, mostly between Merzouga and the cities. We plan stops for lunch and rest, and the free days give you time to relax.

Does the 14-day tour include the Sahara?

Yes. It includes a camel ride at sunset in the Erg Chebbi dunes and two nights in a desert camp at Merzouga, with a full day in the desert. The camel ride depends on the season and your arrival time.

What is the weather like in Morocco on a 14-day trip?

The weather changes a lot between regions and seasons, so we cannot give a forecast for specific days. Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are usually the most comfortable. Summer is very hot inland and in the desert, often above 40 degrees, and winter is mild by day but cold at night in the desert and the Atlas, where it can snow. Check the forecast a few days before you travel and we will advise you on what to pack.

Can I change the route or add days?

Yes. We adapt the stops and the number of nights to your dates and interests, and we can add days in the desert, in Fes, in Marrakech or on the coast.

Can I do the 14-day route in the opposite direction?

Yes. We can run the loop with the coast first and finish in the south. Tell us your dates and we plan it.
