itinirary

Day 1: Tangier – Chefchaouen

You will be picked up by our guide at Tangier’s airport to start your 7 Days Tour from Tangier driving to Chefchaouen, a town built as a covert, enigmatic base from which to attack the Portuguese settlers on the north coast. Europeans were not allowed to enter the village at all before the arrival of the Spanish troops in 1920. You will arrive in Chefchaouen in the afternoon and make your first acquaintance with the city then. We will spend the night at the hotel.

Day 2: Discover Chaouen

During a guided tour of the Medina this morning, you will find Chefchaouen beneath the blue. Explore the city’s winding streets, quaint plazas, and distinctive doorways to discover what makes it so alluring. In Chefchaouen, goats are in plentiful supply, and this soft, creamy goat’s cheese is some of the best in all of Morocco. Make sure to stop by for a taste. Take advantage of a free afternoon to do more exploring. You could use the time to take more pictures of the city’s blue-hued structures, go shopping for handmade items, or just relax at a café and take in the pleasure of the passing of time. Ask your leader if you can have a home-cooked meal for dinner this evening.

Day 3: Chaouen to Fez

Continuing our 7 Days Tour from Tangier by heading to Fez after bidding Chefchaouen adieu. The energetic, loud, and fascinating city of Fez is the spiritual and cultural center of Morocco. Consider spending some time relaxing in a nearby hammam when you first arrive. For some excellent suggestions, talk to your leader. You will be cordially welcomed into a local family’s home for a pastille dinner this evening, giving you the exceptional chance to experience a different side of Moroccan life. This sweet and savory delicacy, which is made with layers of pastry and meat and cooked with eggs, caramelized onions, lemon, and sugared almonds, is one of the most well-known dishes in the nation. The night will end with a traditional sweet treat after you have learned how the famous Moroccan pie is made and have chatted with your welcoming hosts about life in Fez.

Day 4: Fez to Merzouga via Ifrane

Today, leave the bustle of the city and travel across the magnificent Middle Atlas sights to the oasis town of Erfoud in the desert. Make plans for a long driving day and pack your camera because there will be plenty of stops along the way to take in the constantly changing Moroccan landscape. Along the way, you will pass date palm-lined valleys, olive groves, shepherds tending to their flocks, cedar, pine, and oak forests, as well as glimpses of the High Atlas Mountains. Erfoud offers easy access to the Sahara Desert. The town is crowded with red sand constructions that blend in with the desert surroundings. Taste some fresh dates from the nearby market while you are here. Every year, a festival is held in Erfoud to celebrate the mouthwatering dates. Accommodation is offered in Merzouga.

Day 5: Merzouga – Midelt – Meknes

To see the sunrise, we will get an early start so that we can travel to our hotel on a camelback. After having breakfast at the hotel, we will drive past Rissani and Erfoud before stopping for lunch in Midelt, which is located in the Atlas Mountains. After passing through Middle Atlas sights that will awe and excite you, we will then drive to Meknes, where we will explore more magical sights and spend the night.

Day 6: Meknes – Rabat- Asilah

With your guide, you can stroll through the Medina, the former walled section of Meknes. It has a special charm to discover this lesser-known Medina while observing the locals go about their daily lives. Visit the granaries, the Moulay Ismail shrine, and the nearby market, where you can buy fresh produce and treats. You will eventually arrive at the Volubilis ruins. Unquestionably impressive, the ruins were once the provincial capital of the Romans as well as a distant outpost of the empire. An informed local guide will give you a tour of the area while also sharing knowledge and giving you a sense of the once-thriving city that once stood there. Take a picnic lunch of fresh bread, cheese, seasonal fruit, and olives from the market. We will travel on to Rabat. Morocco’s elegant capital and first imperial city continued traveling north from Meknes. The Kasbah of Oudaya is a lovely, walled neighborhood that you should explore after taking a stroll through the Medina and souks to begin your trip. Enjoy a complimentary mint tea while admiring views of the Bou Regreg River and the ocean at this hidden gem of a café. Moreover, the Mohammed V Mausoleum and the mosque minaret will be seen. Then we will travel to Asilah where we will spend the last night of this 7 Days Tour from Tangier.

Day 7: Tangier – Tangier port or airport

We will have breakfast in the morning, and then we will have half of the day to explore the magical shows of Asilah. It is an Atlantic city with an extraordinary atmosphere and unique rampart and so on. Finally, we will travel toward Tangier where our 7 Days Tour from Tangier to Merzouga ends.
