Summary
Now's the time to explore Morocco on your terms with this tour that's affordable for young travellers. Modern, ancient, bohemian, sophisticated — no matter how many superlatives you can think of, northern Morocco surpasses them all. We’ve put together a trip that shows you all the best sights while still leaving money for a souvenir or two from the medina. Over seven days, you’ll tour old-world Fès and the famous blue-and-white buildings of Chefchaouen, then explore mysterious Marrakech and the bustle of Djeema El Fna. If you want to score serious culture points, there's nowhere better than beautiful Morocco.
Itinerary
Day 1
Casablanca
Arrive at any time.
Get excited for your first night out with your fellow travellers. Take to the streets in the heart of Casablanca and hit up one of your CEO’s favourite local spots. Enjoy connecting with your fellow travellers while getting to know Casablanca. Your first night out is just that – the first of many and a perfect way to set the tone for the rest of your grand adventure.
Day 2
Casablanca/Chefchaouen
With a good night's sleep behind you, set out from Casablanca. With the bright blue waters of the Atlantic to your left and the sun drenched wonders of Morocco to your right, travel up the coast to Morocco's capital city, Rabat. Stretch your legs as you wander the ramparts and colourful alleys of the city's old quarter. Take in breathtaking views from Kasbah des Oudaias, then indulge in lunch. After you've eaten the hangry away, continue toward Chefchaouen. Here, beneath the soaring Rif mountains, feeling the blues takes on a different meaning. Take an orientation walk through the blue-washed streets of Chefchaouen before settling in for the night.
Day 3
Chefchaouen
Hoping for free time to explore all Chefchaouen has to offer? Wish granted! Spend your day taking in the splendor of the city and it's surrounding geography. If the (Rif) Mountains are calling, you should definitely answer. Opt to pre-book the Rif Valley Mountains Hike. Or, later opt to visit the Spanish Mosque for breathtaking sunset views of the city.
Day 4
Chefchaouen/Fès
Fès awaits! Upon arrival, put your free time to good use by visiting an Amazigh (or Berber) pharmacy (a far cry from the kind of pharmacy you may be used to at home). Wander the many mazes of Fès's colourful, ancient tanneries.
Day 5
Fès
With so much to see, another free day in Fès is always a good idea. Breathe in decadent spices (oxygen is for the weak anyway, right?) as you sample treats from the many food carts scattered throughout the medina. Explore the artisan quarters as you take in the city that is often referred to as the cultural heart of Morocco.
Day 6
Fès/Marrakech
After getting back on the road and watching the scenery roll by, arrive in vibrant, bustling Marrakech. Spend the evening exploring the gardens, souks, and other wonders of Marrakech.
Day 7
Marrakech
Opt to get up early and catch the sunrise over Marrakech by pre-booking the Hot Air Balloon excursion. Please ensure you allow enough time to return from the activity when planning your onward journey.

Customer reviews & ratings
I had a great trip around Morocco with G Adventures. Khalid was a great CEO and was really kind, knowledgeable, friendly and patient (my airline lost my bag on the way to the trip and Khalid helped me to call the airline and track my bag - as a side note, never check in a bag with Royal Air Maroc). It was great to see many beautiful spots in Morocco - the highlight for me was Chefchaouen. I am a young solo female traveller and am really happy that I joined this group which made me feel safe - I strongly urge you not to travel Morocco alone if you are also a young solo female traveller. I had a lovely group which made it a really fun trip. This trip gave me the opportunity to see the beauty of Morocco and experience the culture. It also gave me the opportunity to see the things that aren't so beautiful about Morocco - the poverty, the stray and sick animal problem, the treatment of women. This was confronting for me, but also important to understand. The hotels were of mixed quality - the hotels in Casablanca and Fes were the nicest. The trip often took us to touristy places which at times could make it feel inauthentic, but on the other hand it meant I felt safe and knew the food was likely safe for me to eat. The trip was a good length of time to get a good sense of Morocco. I will note that I found it challenging as a strict vegetarian - I was not convinced some of the food I was given was actually vegetarian (e.g. stock use) and very little of it contained any protein. If you are vegetarian/vegan - bring some form of protein and go to the supermarket for vegetables/fruit (although this can be challenging) and do the best you can at shared meals. Overall I recommend this trip to anyone wanting to explore Morocco with a group on a budget. I am highly likely to recommend G Adventures to friends and family if they want to do a similar trip
Rachel Oct, 2024 VerifiedThis is THE tour to join if you wish to explore Morocco in a short periods of time, while covering a few major cities. The pace of the tour is very well organised. It can get hectic at times but I promise the scenery and experience are totally worth it. The journey is definitely long however we managed to see a lot of cities / sites in a short period of time. I also like the design of the tour where you usually get to stay at one place for 2 consecutive days in order to get some rest.
