The experience

A private journey, thoughtfully arranged

Link Casablanca, Rabat and Fes with the Sahara and Marrakech in a nine-day private road journey. City guiding days provide time to understand the medinas; two desert-region nights separate the long approach from the camp experience. The return west follows the Todra/Dades corridor and Ait Benhaddou before Marrakech.

This is a private journey with accommodation and meals optional. Select the 8-night 4–5-star accommodation add-on for breakfast-only stays: USD 300 per double room per night for two sharing, plus USD 200 per single room per night. With the default allocation, four guests pay USD 600 nightly and five pay USD 800 nightly. Choose double or twin beds and additional single rooms in checkout; each single costs USD 200 nightly. Lunch costs USD 30 per guest per selected meal; dinner USD 60. Named properties and the desert overnight arrangement are confirmed by MLV; no specific property or exclusive camp is implied.

Itinerary

How your experience unfolds

Day 1

Day 1 · Casablanca arrival

Meet your driver at the airport terminal or Casablanca city address arranged for your arrival, then transfer to your agreed destination and review the journey ahead. Sightseeing on arrival depends on your flight time; a late arrival is reserved for the transfer and settling in. Hotels are optional add-ons, with the property and room arrangement confirmed separately.

Day 2

Day 2 · Rabat and onward to Fes

Travel from Casablanca through the agreed Rabat stops towards Fes, allowing realistic time for the intercity drive. Explore permitted public areas around the capital's principal landmarks according to access and pace. Add a detour such as Volubilis only if expressly included in the accepted route; it should not be assumed on an already full transfer day. Meals and unlisted admissions are separate.

Day 3

Day 3 · Guided Fes

Spend the day with the listed local guide in Fes, combining medina orientation, public craft streets and the historic visits accepted for your booking. Religious interiors and private workshops are not automatically accessible. Agree the walking pace and lunch break with the guide; personal purchases, meals and entry fees follow the package's stated inclusions rather than being presumed covered.

Day 4

Day 4 · Middle Atlas to desert edge

Leave Fes for a substantial road day through the Middle Atlas and towards the Merzouga desert edge. Use safe viewpoints and comfort stops that fit conditions and arrival time. The driver prioritises a practical route rather than guaranteeing wildlife sightings or every roadside attraction. Finish at the agreed overnight location, supplied only if you selected accommodation.

Day 5

Day 5 · Desert surroundings and camp

Spend today in the desert surroundings with the activities listed in your itinerary. Weather may change the order or timing. Your confirmation explains how you reach the camp and whether a camel ride or another local excursion is included. Camp or hotel accommodation is optional and includes breakfast only; add dinner separately if you would like it included.

Day 6

Day 6 · Todra and Dades

Travel from the desert edge through the Todra area towards the Dades region, with time for the agreed public gorge and landscape stops. Paths and roadside viewpoints depend on safe access, and the day remains primarily a road journey. Overnight lodging and meals follow your selected add-ons; a private-home visit or unlisted guided hike is not included by implication.

Day 7

Day 7 · Ait Benhaddou to Marrakech

Continue towards Ait Benhaddou and cross the High Atlas to Marrakech. Discuss the public walking visit and any separately paid admissions before leaving the vehicle. The route includes substantial mountain driving, so allow for weather, road conditions and practical breaks. Arrive at the agreed Marrakech city access point rather than promising vehicle entry into a pedestrian riad.

Day 8

Day 8 · Guided Marrakech

Explore Marrakech with the listed local guiding, choosing the agreed medina and public heritage route around opening hours and the party's walking pace. Timed gardens, palaces and other paid attractions require the admissions expressly included or separately arranged. Leave space for a meal and questions without making shopping compulsory or promising access to every landmark.

Day 9

Day 9 · Departure

Finish the journey with the departure transfer expressly arranged from Marrakech for your flight or onward location. Confirm the date, airport, terminal and pickup time before the final day. A different departure city requires a separate route assessment. The nine-day itinerary spans eight potential overnight stays; selected accommodation includes breakfast only, with lunch and dinner separate.

Private tour of Casablanca for up to 16 people

We had an an amazing tour with Hesham. Our cruise had changed our port dates around and Ayoub organized one of his colleagues to help us out!
Hesham communicated very well where we would meet and had our transportation ready to meet us! With a big party of 8 it was perfect. He was conscientious on our time and we never felt rushed. We asked for a traditional Moroccan meal for lunch and it he was able to get us in to a fantastic restaurant. He was knowledgeable and detailed with the history of Casablanca. I would recommend his tour to anyone!

Casablanca Jewish Heritage And Highlights

Ayoub was an outstanding guide, customizing a full day tour of Casablanca with a focus on Jewish sites. He created a fabulous day for our group. Highest recommendation!

7 day Moroccan Tour

Overall, our 7 day Moroccan tour was outstanding to say the least . We were able to see the imperial cities except for Meknes, experience the food , the culture , the beautiful mosques , and taking a walk at their bustling medinas and souks. We also got to experience the exhilarating hot air balloon, and camel ride, had a wonderful dinner and watch belly dancers do their exotic dancing and get to take thousand of beautiful pictures! I would like to thank our tour guide Mr Ayoub for making all these possible. He worked so hard, making arrangements for our bags , carrying our heavy luggage’s coordinating with hotel staff , since we did our own hotel booking and never once complained. He gave us restaurant recommendations and they were beyond excellent too. He allowed my group, freedom to take as much pictures as they want to, shop as long as we want. Thank you Mr Ayoub ! It was an amazing experience and a vacation to remember for the rest of our lives . Please thank our wonderful driver Mr Khalid too.
