    This 12-day private Morocco tour starts and ends in Tangier — the natural gateway if you are coming from Spain by ferry (Tarifa or Algeciras, about an hour across the Strait) or flying into Tangier Ibn Battouta Airport. Your driver meets you at the port, the airport or your hotel.

    From the north you travel through Morocco in one big loop: the Andalusian medina of Tetouan, the blue city of Chefchaouen, Volubilis and Meknes, a guided day in Fes, a camel ride and a night in a luxury desert camp in Merzouga, the Todra Gorge and the Dades Valley, and then three nights in Marrakech with a day trip to the Atlantic town of Essaouira. On the way back north you see Casablanca and Rabat, and finish in the seaside town of Asilah before returning to Tangier.

    It is a private tour with your own driver, licensed local guides in Fes and Marrakech, and handpicked riads and hotels — a good choice if you are combining Spain and Morocco, or want to see the whole country without taking a domestic flight.

    FAQ of the 12 Day Morocco Travel Package From Tangier

    Can I take the ferry from Spain to start this tour?

    Yes. Fast ferries from Tarifa to Tangier Ville take about one hour, and ferries from Algeciras arrive at Tanger Med. Send us your ferry time and your driver will meet you at the port.

    Do we need a domestic flight on this 12-day tour?

    No. The whole loop is by private road transfer, from Tangier to the Sahara, Marrakech and back north via Rabat and Asilah, so you avoid internal flights and luggage limits.

    Why three nights in Marrakech?

    Marrakech is the base for two days: a guided walking tour of the medina and palaces, and a full-day trip to Essaouira on the Atlantic coast, so you stay in the same riad and unpack only once.

    How long are the drives?

    Most days have 3–4 hours of driving with stops. The longest is Fes to Merzouga (about 7–8 hours through the Middle Atlas and the Ziz Valley); the return from Marrakech to Rabat is about 4 hours on the motorway.

    What is the best time of year for this route?

    Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are best for the desert and the cities. Northern Morocco and Chefchaouen are green and mild in spring; summer is hot in Fes, Marrakech and the Sahara.

    How much does the 12-day tour from Tangier cost?

    The price depends on the number of travelers, your dates and the accommodation style (standard, premium or luxury). Request a free quote — we reply within 24 hours and no payment is needed to ask.

    How do I book this tour?

    Send us your dates, the number of travelers and your preferred accommodation style through the quote form or on WhatsApp. We reply within 24 hours with a tailored itinerary and price; a refundable deposit confirms your booking.

    What happens if I need to cancel my booking?

    Cancellation Policy:
