Overview
Ready to see the best of Morocco at the perfect pace? This 14-Day Morocco Tour links the blue alleys of Chefchaouen, the medieval medina of Fes, the Sahara dunes at Erg Chebbi, kasbah valleys and oases along the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs, then the High Atlas, Marrakech, Essaouira and back to the coast.
On this two-week loop you stay in riads and desert camps, meet artisans and Amazigh (Berber) hosts, and eat your way from market stalls to seaside grills.
If you’re comparing a two week Morocco tour or mapping a 2-week Morocco itinerary, this route is the sweet spot—enough time for desert sunrise and ocean sunset without rushing.
We keep travel days efficient, build in scenic pauses (cedar forests, gorge walks, rose distilleries), and add flexible options (short hikes, hammam, cooking classes) so your 14-Day Morocco Tour feels like your trip, not a template.
Why choose the 14-Day Morocco Tour
- Balanced pacing: Most legs are 2–5 hours of driving with breaks for coffee, viewpoints, and light walks—so you arrive energized.
- Iconic + lesser-known: Chefchaouen’s blues, Fes’ tanneries, Marrakech’s artisans—plus Skoura palm oases, Todra’s canyon, and quiet coastal Essaouira.
- Atlas & Sahara contrast: From cedar monkeys near Azrou to windswept passes and golden dunes, this 14-Day Morocco Tour shows Morocco’s wild range.
- Flexible experiences: Camel trek and campfire in the Sahara, street-food tastings, a pottery workshop in Fes, or a sunrise balloon near Marrakech.
- Season-aware: We built timings that work in spring/fall and can tweak for summer winds on the coast and winter snow in the High Atlas. (Spring and fall are widely cited as the best seasons across Morocco.)

Tour Itinerary
Arrive in Casablanca. If timing allows, admire the ocean-hugging Hassan II Mosque’s exterior and stroll the Corniche. Then roll one hour north to Rabat, Morocco’s relaxed capital. Check in to a medina riad and walk the breezy Kasbah of the Udayas for sunset; the river mouth and Atlantic merge in gold light. Dinner is fresh-grilled fish or a simple tagine near the kasbah gate. Your 14-Day Morocco Tour begins easy—ocean air, blue doors, and a gentle pace.

Driving time: Approximately 1 hr 30 min
After breakfast, visit Rabat’s Mohammed V Mausoleum façade and the Hassan Tower plaza; then head into the Rif. The road climbs to terraced hills before you arrive in Chefchaouen, a cool-toned dream. Wander the blue-washed alleys, sip mint tea in Outa el Hammam square, and walk 20 minutes to the Spanish Mosque for a pastel sunset over the valley. Light dinner: bissara (fava bean soup) and msemen.
Driving distance: Approximately 250 km
Driving time: Approximately 4 hr 30 min
Photograph early before the laneways fill, then depart toward Fes. Breaks in rolling countryside keep the drive calm; arrive by mid-afternoon to your riad inside the medina. Sunset from a terrace reveals a city of minarets and rooftops. Tonight, taste chicken with preserved lemon and olives or a vegetarian couscous.
Driving distance: Approximately 200 km
Driving time: Approximately 3 hr 45 min
You dive into Fes el-Bali’s living museum: the Bou Inania Madrasa carvings, aromatic spice stalls, and the Chouara Tannery’s kaleidoscope of dye pits. Visit a brass workshop; try your hand embossing a small plate. Lunch could be a street-side brochette and zaalouk. In the afternoon, explore the mellah (Jewish quarter) and panoramic Borj Nord. As night falls, the call to prayer ripples across tiled courtyards. Your 14-Day Morocco Tour gives you a full day to savor Fes’ craftsmanship.
Driving distance: City touring
Driving time: Short local hops
Climb into Middle Atlas hills via Ifrane’s alpine facades and Azrou’s cedar forest—keep an eye out for Barbary macaques. Lunch in the small town of Zaida (grilled trout or omelets are reliable). The landscape shifts to high plateau as you reach Midelt, an apple-growing hub with mountain horizons that light up at dusk. Quiet evening; prepare for the desert run tomorrow.
Driving distance: Approximately 205 km
Driving time: Approximately 3 hr 30 min
Follow the Ziz Gorge to palm-filled valleys—great photo stops—then cross to Erfoud and Merzouga. Swap wheels for hooves: a late-afternoon camel trek carries you over amber dunes to your desert camp. After sunset, tagine by the fire, drumming, and a galaxy overhead. Sleep in standard, superior, or luxury tents depending on your camp class—your 14-Day Morocco Tour builds in comfort choices here.
Driving distance: Approximately 275 km
Driving time: Approximately 4 hr 45 min
Wake pre-dawn: climb a dune for sunrise and watch lines of light paint the sands. After breakfast, drive west toward Tinghir. Stretch your legs with a walk beneath Todra’s 300m walls as palm fronds rustle along irrigation channels. Optional picnic of khobz, olives, tomatoes, and goat cheese by the riverbed. Overnight in a kasbah-style guesthouse.
Driving distance: Approximately 250 km
Driving time: Approximately 4 hr 30 min
A short hop today means more exploring. Drive the Dades Valley, pausing at viewpoints over “Monkey Fingers” rock formations and the famous hairpin switchbacks.

Driving distance: Approximately 55 km
Driving time: Approximately 1 hr 15 min
Roll down the valley through Kelaat M’Gouna, home to rose distilleries (April–May harvest fills the air with scent). Continue to Skoura’s palm oasis.

Driving distance: Approximately 110 km
Driving time: Approximately 2 hr
Start with Taourirt Kasbah or the film studios of Ouarzazate, then continue 30 minutes to Aït Benhaddou, Morocco’s most photogenic ksar. Climb to the granary for sweeping valley views. It’s an archetypal pre-Saharan settlement and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stay nearby or return to Ouarzazate for the night.
Driving distance: Approximately 70–100 km (depending on lodging)
Driving time: Approximately 1 hr 30 min
Cross the High Atlas via the Tizi n’Tichka pass. The road threads through hairpins, stone villages, and changing colors.

Driving distance: Approximately 180 km
Driving time: Approximately 4 hr
Dive into Bahia Palace’s filigree, the Saadian Tombs’ marble, and the medina’s artisan souks. Break for a fresh orange juice or almond milkshake.

The 14-Day Morocco Tour gives you a full day to discover Marrakech’s rhythm.
Driving distance: City touring
Driving time: Short local hops
A smooth road leads you to Essaouira’s Atlantic freshness. Stop at an argan cooperative en route, then walk Essaouira’s 18th-century ramparts and the lively port where blue boats bob. Wind is part of the charm here—April–November is prime; summer brings the strongest trades—so bring a light jacket even on sunny days. Grill-lunch of sardines or sea bream on the pier. Sunset at Skala de la Ville.
Driving distance: Approximately 190 km
Driving time: Approximately 2 hr 45 min
Enjoy a last seaside coffee, then return to Casablanca via the modern highway. If time allows before departure, take a final promenade along the Corniche or explore the Habous quarter for last-minute gifts (argan oil, ceramics, spices). Your 14-Day Morocco Tour closes where it began—by the Atlantic—with a camera roll of blues, reds, golds, and greens.

Driving time: Approximately 4 hr 45 min

FAQs
- Is 2 weeks enough for Morocco? Yes—this 14-Day Morocco Tour covers north, desert, mountains, and coast without rushing. You’ll still have choices each day to tailor the pace.
- How many hours of driving per day? Most days run 2–5 hours, with one or two longer pushes (up to ~5 hours) on desert transition days. We build in scenic breaks.
- What’s the cost range for a two week Morocco tour? For two travelers privately, expect roughly $2,200–$5,400 per person depending on hotel class, season, and camp level (see matrix above).
- What’s the best month for dunes? Spring and fall offer the most comfortable Sahara conditions; summer is very hot, winter nights can be near freezing.
- Is Chefchaouen worth it in a 2-week Morocco itinerary? If you love color and photography, yes. It adds a northern arc and a relaxed day early on, and pairs nicely with Fes.
- Marrakech or Casablanca as a start point? Marrakech is great for immediate medina immersion; Casablanca is practical for flight variety and a gentler first evening. Both work with this loop.
- Erg Chebbi vs Erg Chigaga—what’s the difference? Erg Chebbi (near Merzouga) is more accessible with higher dunes; Erg Chigaga is wilder and reached by off-road 4×4—amazing for remoteness if you accept longer transfers.
- Will snow affect the High Atlas crossing? In winter, the Tizi n’Tichka can see snow and slower traffic; spring/fall are smoother. We route times accordingly.
- Is Essaouira windy year-round? Yes—winds are common all year and strongest June–August, which kitesurfers love. Bring a light jacket even in summer.
- How many nights should I spend in Marrakech on a two week Morocco tour? Two nights gives you palaces, gardens and souks without fatigue. Add a third if you want a hammam day and a food tour.
