Go on our 6-Day Desert Tour from Tangier, a journey that captures the incredible geographic and cultural diversity of Morocco. Starting in the Mediterranean-influenced north, you will wander the iconic blue-washed streets of Chefchaouen, walk the Roman ruins of Volubilis, and explore the ancient medieval heart of Fes. From there, you will traverse the spectacular Middle Atlas and Ziz Valley to reach the golden silence of the Sahara, before concluding your adventure among the dramatic kasbahs and mountain passes of the south.
Why choose this tour? Because it covers the “Grand Tour” route without the need for multiple domestic flights. It is perfectly paced to allow you to experience the transition from the lush Rif Mountains to the arid beauty of the desert, all while enjoying the comfort of private, climate-controlled transport and boutique accommodations in the heart of Morocco’s most storied locations.
