5 Day Morocco Sahara Desert Tour from Casablanca
This 5-day private tour takes you from Casablanca to Marrakech through the Sahara — the fastest way to combine an imperial city, a night in the desert and Marrakech when you land at Casablanca airport.
Day one starts with the Hassan II Mosque and the Corniche, then Meknes on the way to Fes. You get a full guided day in the Fes medina, cross the Middle Atlas via Ifrane and the cedar forest to Merzouga, ride a camel into the Erg Chebbi dunes and sleep in a luxury desert camp. The return west follows Rissani, Erfoud, the Todra Gorge and the Dades Valley, then the Rose Valley and Ouarzazate before you arrive in Marrakech.
It is one-way, so you finish in Marrakech — ideal if you fly home from Marrakech or continue your trip there.
Is this 5-day tour right for you?
- Best for: travelers with limited time who still want Fes and the Sahara, arriving in Casablanca.
- Pace: full days — Fes to Merzouga is about 7–8 hours with stops, and Dades to Marrakech about 6–7 hours.
- Nights: 3 in riads/hotels + 1 in a luxury desert camp.
- More time? The 7-day tour from Casablanca adds Chefchaouen and a guided day in Marrakech.
