6 day Tour in Morocco: Morocco Express

The first day of this 5-day Morocco tour is dedicated to discovering the main attractions of the northern part of the country. Upon arrival in Tangier, our agency staff will pick you up at the port or airport in a private vehicle to begin the journey.

Depending on your plane or ferry arrival time, the itinerary may include a first stop in Tetouan, a city declared a World Heritage Site and full of attractions. Among them, its white historic medina and the Spanish influence are still visible in its streets, as it was the capital of the Spanish Protectorate during the first half of the 20th century.

In the afternoon, you will arrive in Chaouen or Chefchaouen, also called ‘the Blue City’ for the stunning appearance of its historic center, full of houses painted in this color. You will have free time to explore the picturesque narrow streets of the medina and reach viewpoints with spectacular panoramic views, from where you can see the busy urban center and the mountainous Rif surroundings.

In the evening, you will rest in a charming Riad located in the Medina.

After breakfast at the Riad in Chaouen, our 5-day express Morocco tour continues to Fez. We will arrive in this city after a scenic drive leaving behind the mountains and forests of the Rif, ending in this UNESCO World Heritage Site, renowned for its history and beauty.

We will spend the rest of the day exploring its attractions with the help of an official guide. The visit will take us through the most important places, many located within the medina and its surroundings. These may include the Al-Karaouine Mosque, which houses the medersa of the same name and is one of the oldest educational institutions in Islam; Nejjarine Square, famous for its fountain; the Bou Inania medersa; the tanners’ quarter; the Mellah (Jewish quarter); and the golden gates of the royal palace, among other highlights.

After the guided tour, there will be free time to shop in the prestigious craft souks or to deepen your knowledge of the city in its museums. At the end of the day, you will enjoy a well-deserved night’s rest in a charming Riad.

Breakfast on the fifth day will give us the energy to complete the final leg of this 5-day Morocco tour. The first stop is just a few kilometers from Ouarzazate: the ksar of Ait Ben Haddou, a remarkably well-preserved fortified village. In addition to retaining its traditional Berber charm, it has been declared a World Heritage Site for its historical and artistic value. Fansof Game of Thronesmay recognize it, as scenes from the third season were filmed here.

After visiting this ksar, we return to the road with the goal of crossing the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka pass, which rises to about 2,260 meters above sea level. Along the ascent and descent, we’ll enjoy a series of panoramic views and picturesque villages perched on the slopes—perfect for photography.

From here, we’re only about 100 km away from Marrakech, the final destination of both this day and the entire 5-day Morocco tour. Upon arrival, you’ll enjoy a free afternoon and spend the night in a charming riad located in the medina.

After breakfast, we will explore a bit of Marrakech and then transfer you to the airport. This will mark the end of your 6-day Morocco tour from Tangier.
