The route
Questions about this trip
Why is this the most popular length?
A week is enough to genuinely cover the desert and the north without every day being a travel day — most people want exactly this.
Is day six a very long drive?
It's the longest single day on this route — we can also split it into two shorter days with a stop in Meknes or Rabat if you'd prefer.
Can I do this trip in the opposite direction?
Yes, starting north (Fes or Chefchaouen) and ending in Marrakech works just as well — let us know your arrival city.
What's the best month to do this specific route?
April, May, September and October give the best balance of mild days in the north and comfortable nights in the desert.
Is one night in the desert enough on this route?
It's one full night with sunset and sunrise included — if you want a second desert night, ask and we'll add one.
