7 Day Tour from Marrakech: The Best One-Week Routes Compared

Looking for a 7 day tour from Marrakech? One week is the perfect length for a first trip to Morocco: enough time for the High Atlas, the kasbah road, a night in the Sahara and the medina of Fes, without long rushed days. This guide compares the best one-week routes from Marrakech so you can book the one that fits your flights.

Quick answer: if you fly home from Fes, choose the 6-day desert tour from Marrakech to Fes and add a free day. If you want the north too, the 8-day tour from Marrakech to Tangier reaches Chefchaouen. For an exact 7-day plan, we adapt either route for you with our tailor-made tours.
