Amazing 11 Days in Morocco desert Tour from Marrakech

This 11 Days in Morocco to the Sahara Desert And Imperial Cities Tour from Marrakech to Casablanca. came as a surprise birthday gift, therefore, I did not have a chance to provide input or review the itinerary. Every day was filled with different experiences. Our guide and driver were good company to travel with. Their choice of music while driving helped set the tone while venturing through the different areas. We appreciated their ability to know when it was important to give us private time to experience some sights on our own. Two disappointments were that COVID-19 prevented my family members from joining us in Morocco for my birthday and that I did not get my haircut from a local barber as I traditionally do when abroad. We are still in Morocco due to border closures, so maybe I will have that opportunity before we leave. A custom private tour comes at a higher price, however, it is a quality tour where you are reassured of getting what you pay for. Said and his team went above and beyond to provide that.

Places to see in Your 11 Days in Morocco Tour from Marrakech

Marrakech city

Marrakech is known as the Red City thanks to its reddish walls. Built-in the 12th century, the bricks are made of Tabia, a mixture of red mud and water from the Hazou plains. But anyone who has been in town will know that his nickname does not do him justice. Red is only color in the kaleidoscope of Marrakech.

Casablanca City

Casablanca, in Arabic Al-Dār al-Baydali, or Dar al-Beïda, is Morocco’s main port on the Atlantic coast of North Africa.
The origin of the city is not known. An Amazigh (Berber) village called Anfa was at its present location in the 12th century; it became a pirate base for Christian ships and was destroyed by the Portuguese in 1468. The Portuguese returned to the region in 1515 and built a new town called Casa Branca (“White House”). It was abandoned in 1755 after a devastating earthquake, but Sultan ʿAlawī Sīdī Muhammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh rebuilt the city at the end of the 18th century. Spanish merchants, who called it Casablanca, and other European traders began to settle there. After some time, the French outnumbered other European settlers, and the name White House (which also means “White House”) became as common as Casablanca.

Rabat Capital of Morocco

Rabat is a surprisingly quiet capital that feels worlds outside of Casablanca’s business and bustling Marrakech. With excellent museums detailing modern art and Moroccan history, one of its key attractions is its decent range of international restaurants – an attractive prospect for those who are ready for a tajine break. Despite all this, and the fact that Rabat is only 80 minutes from Tangier by the new high-speed railway Al Boraq, relatively few tourists find their way here. But all indications are that it is about to change – the opening of the monumental Grand Theatre in Rabat with the planned expansion of the railway network may well be the turning point that the city was waiting for. Explore it with our 11 Days Morocco desert tour

Chefchaouen blue Pearl

Chefchaouen is a small town in the Rif mountains in northwest Morocco. This particular city is probably one of the most beautiful you have seen in Morocco because of its streets and blue buildings. That’s why Chefchaoune was nicknamed the “Blue Pearl of Morocco.”
It is such a popular city in Morocco that it is often considered one of the best places to visit in the country!

Fes or Fez

Our 11 Days in Morocco tour from Marrakech will take you to discover Fez, the oldest imperial city in Morocco is a fascinating collection of urban centers built through the ages. It’s not hard to find amazing things to do in Fez.

A real fortified city in the 8th century – Fes el Bali. The new city in the thirteenth century – the New Fes ( Fes el Jadid ) and finally the French contribution in the twentieth century: a new city.

Former fertile ground for scholars, artisans, and Gourmands, Fez is often considered the spiritual and cultural capital of Morocco.

Fez may have played the second most touristic violin in Marrakech, but thanks to a growing appreciation of its authenticity, Fez is gaining popularity. For a truly authentic travel experience, Fez is an unprecedented place.

Merzouga desert ( Erg Chebbi )

Merzouga is the easiest place to see the desert in Morocco. The dunes start a few hundred meters from where all the hotels are in Merzouga (is there really a “city” of Merzouga? No. It’s just a lot of hotels and Camels near the dunes). The sand dunes outside Marzouka are called Erg Chebbi – “Erg” and mean “dunes seas.” Merzouga on the west side of the dunes. It faces east on 5-7 km of dunes. From north to south, the dunes are 28 km long. Visit it in our 11 Days in Morocco from Marrakech

The dunes here are also the highest in Morocco, where some sand dunes are over 150 meters (500 feet) high.

Todra Gorge or Todgha

Located on the east side of the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco, the Todra Gorge is one of the most spectacular canyons in the world.

Here, the Todra and Dades rivers carved cliff canyons in their last 25 miles across the mountains, leaving behind this series of reliefs and rock carvings. Todgha is the name of the last six hundred meters (just under two thousand feet) of the canyons. In some places, this gorge is only 33 feet wide, but the cliffs are more than 500 feet high on both sides. Since then, the river has dried up, leaving only imagination to imagine the powerful natural forces that once cut through this region.

Ait Benhaddou Kasbah

get to know Ait ben Hadou on 11 Days Morocco Tour, it is a historic village of Kasbah (Muhsin village), a traditional pre-desert habitat made of mud in Morocco. It is located between Marrakech and Sahara in Warzazat governorate in the Atlas Mountains. It was built in the 11th century, rebuilt in the 17th century, and became a UNESCO world heritage site in the 1980s.
