Chart — Departures from Marrakech
All roads in the south begin beneath the Koutoubia. From the red city, the High Atlas opens onto kasbah valleys, rose gardens, and the great dunes of Erg Chebbi.
07 itineraries — surveyed & sequenced
Route 01The essential Sahara — kasbahs, gorges, and a night beneath the dunes.
The classic southern circuit, distilled. Cross the High Atlas at Tizi n'Tichka, sleep in the Dades Valley, walk the Todra canyon, and ride camels into Erg Chebbi for a night of firelight and stars before returning through Ouarzazate.
Route 02Cross the kingdom — Atlas passes, Sahara dunes, and the ancient capital.
The great traverse. Three days connecting Morocco's two most storied cities by the most beautiful road possible: over the High Atlas, through the kasbah valleys, across the dunes of Erg Chebbi, and up the Ziz Valley to Fes.
Route 03The southern oases at an unhurried pace — with a full night in the dunes.
One extra day transforms the desert circuit. Linger in the Skoura oasis and the Valley of Roses, take the gorges slowly, and still have time for a long, golden evening in the Sahara before the Draa Valley road home.
Route 04Two nights in the deep Sahara — nomad camps, Gnawa music, hidden oases.
The connoisseur's desert tour. A full day around Merzouga by 4x4 — nomad families, the Gnawa village of Khamlia, fossil beds and seasonal lakes — bracketed by the great kasbah route and two unforgettable desert nights.
Route 05Desert and Fes in one grand loop — the south road out, the cedar road home.
A complete southern circle: kasbahs and gorges on the way out, a Sahara night at Erg Chebbi, then north through the Ziz Valley to a full day in Fes before returning across the Middle Atlas and the plains of Beni Mellal.
Route 06Red city to white city — desert, Fes, and the blue pearl in between.
A one-way grand arc through Morocco's greatest hits: two days in Marrakech, the kasbah route and a Sahara night, the medieval depths of Fes, the blue lanes of Chefchaouen, and a coastal finale through Rabat to Casablanca.
Route 07The full circle of the kingdom — every landscape, one seamless journey.
Morocco in its entirety: the red city, the kasbah valleys, a night in the Sahara, imperial Fes, blue Chefchaouen, and the Atlantic capital — closing the loop back to Marrakech with a farewell dinner.
