"Tangier to Marrakech — an epic 8 days"
Adding Tangier made this trip extra special. Standing at Cape Spartel seeing Europe across the water was a moment I'll never forget. Then Chefchaouen, then Fes, then the Sahara... every single day was completely different. World-class tour, world-class service.
"El mejor viaje de nuestra vida"
8 días con You Morocco Tours y lo vimos absolutamente todo. Tánger fue una sorpresa enorme — no esperábamos tanto. Chefchaouen, Fes, el Sahara y Marrakech. El guía fue excepcional, siempre sonriendo, siempre con un dato curioso. Lo recomendamos sin dudarlo.
"8 days, 8 different experiences"
Atlantic coast, blue mountain city, ancient imperial capital, Sahara desert, limestone gorges, UNESCO fortress, high mountain pass and Marrakech. Each day was a completely new Morocco. The private format meant we spent as long as we liked at each place. Couldn't ask for more.
Absolutely — we can replace Tangier with extra nights in Chefchaouen or Fes, or add a second night in Merzouga for a full desert experience. Your tour, your choice.
8 days covers Morocco's greatest highlights very comfortably — the iconic north, the best imperial city, the Sahara, the gorges and Marrakech. For those wanting to add Agadir, Essaouira or more time in Marrakech, we recommend the 10-day or 12-day tour.
The luxury desert camp includes a private tent with comfortable beds and linen, traditional Berber dinner, breakfast, live music around the campfire, and the sunset camel trek. Upgrade tents are available with ensuite bathroom and hot shower.
