What to Expect: A Local Guide’s Perspective on the Casablanca Route

Starting your journey in Casablanca is the smartest logistical choice for multi-day tours. Casablanca is home to Morocco’s largest international airport, offering the best flight connections from the US, UK, and Europe. But navigating the country from here requires local expertise. Here is what our experienced drivers want you to know about the route:

The Drive to Chefchaouen and Fes

Heading north from Casablanca to the Blue City of Chefchaouen takes approximately 5 hours. It’s a scenic drive through the Rif Mountains, but the roads can be winding.

Local Tip: We time our departures so you arrive in Chefchaouen by late afternoon. This allows you to explore the stunning blue alleyways and enjoy a mint tea at Place Outa el Hammam after the midday day-trippers have left. From there, it’s a 3.5-hour drive down to Fes.

Crossing the Atlas to the Sahara Desert

The journey from Fes to the Sahara (Merzouga) is a full-day drive of diverse landscapes. You will transition from the alpine feel of Ifrane—where we often stop to see the Barbary macaques in the cedar forests of Azrou—down into the arid Ziz Valley.

Local Tip: The drive takes about 7 hours, so we ensure plenty of panoramic stops. You will arrive in Merzouga just in time to mount your camel and ride into the Erg Chebbi dunes for sunset.

The Kasbahs and Marrakech

Leaving the desert, the route to Marrakech crosses the High Atlas Mountains via the famous Tizi n’Tichka pass (reaching 2,260 meters in elevation). You’ll explore Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site and famous filming location (Gladiator, Game of Thrones).

Local Tip: The mountain pass is incredibly photogenic but features tight switchbacks. Our modern 4x4s and experienced mountain drivers ensure a smooth, comfortable ride into Marrakech.

Frequently Asked Questions (Casablanca Tours)

Where do the tours start in Casablanca?

We can pick you up directly from Casablanca Mohammed V International Airport (CMN) upon your arrival, or from any hotel or accommodation within Casablanca.

Can we see the Hassan II Mosque before we leave the city?

Absolutely. The Hassan II Mosque is one of the only mosques in Morocco open to non-Muslims. If your flight arrives early enough, or if you are already staying in a Casablanca hotel, we highly recommend starting your tour with a guided visit to the mosque before heading to Rabat or Chefchaouen.

Are the tour itineraries flexible?

Yes. Because our tours are private, the 8, 10, and 14-day itineraries serve as a foundation. If you want to spend an extra day in the Sahara or skip a specific city, our travel planners will customize the route for you.

What is the best time of year to take a desert tour from Casablanca?

The best times are during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) when the weather is mild and pleasant. Summer in the Sahara can be extremely hot, while winter nights in the desert and Atlas Mountains can be quite cold.
