Tour overview
The 14-day Morocco tour from Tangier is a private round trip by Highlights Morocco Tours. It goes through Tetouan to Chefchaouen, Volubilis, Meknes and Fes, spends two nights in a Sahara desert camp at Merzouga, follows the Dades Valley and Ait Ben Haddou to Marrakech, adds Essaouira, and returns through Casablanca and Rabat to Tangier. 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. If you arrive in Tangier by plane or by ferry from Spain, this route turns the whole trip into a loop: the north first, then Fes and the desert, Marrakech and the coast, and back to Tangier by Casablanca and Rabat.
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.

Spring and autumn are usually the most comfortable seasons for 14 days in Morocco from Tangier, with agreeable weather from the Rif to the dunes. Summer is very hot in Fes, Marrakech and the desert, although the northern coast and Essaouira are fresher. In winter, expect rain in the north, cold nights at the Merzouga camp and possible snow on the High Atlas pass. Coastal cities stay milder, so a flexible layering plan works well.
For the 14-day Morocco tour from Tangier, bring layers, a rain jacket for the north in cooler months, a warm jacket for the desert camp, a scarf, sun cream, sunglasses and closed shoes with grip. If you plan the Akchour waterfalls excursion near Chefchaouen, add walking shoes. Carry cash for tips, lunches and drinks, since lunches, drinks, entrance fees and tips are not included. A light bag for the camp nights saves repacking.
The price of the 14-day Morocco tour from Tangier is on request, because it depends on your dates, the season and your group size.
