Itinerary details

Your adventure begins at 8:00 AM with a warm welcome from your driver at your hotel in Marrakech. Hop into a comfortable 4×4 and embark on a stunning drive through the Tizi-N-Tichka Pass (2,260m) in the High Atlas Mountains. Along the way, marvel at the ever-changing landscapes, vibrant Berber villages, and panoramic vistas.

We’ll stop at Tamellalt village to explore its charming streets and admire the iconic rock formations of the Dades Valley, often referred to as Morocco’s “Grand Canyon.” As the day winds down, enjoy a traditional dinner and restful overnight stay at a cozy hotel nestled in the valley.

Fuel up with a hearty breakfast before venturing onto the famous Route of 1,000 Kasbahs, a winding road dotted with fortified villages. Stop in Tineghir, home to a lush palm grove and a historic Jewish quarter, before arriving at the towering Todra Gorges. These majestic canyons, with walls reaching 300m, are a paradise for trekkers and rock climbers alike.

Afterward, continue your journey toward the vast dunes of Erg Chebbi in Merzouga. Along the way, savor a delicious lunch in Erfoud, a town known for its fossil treasures. At Merzouga, a warm welcome awaits you with a refreshing glass of tea at a charming desert hotel.

Then, the adventure truly begins—embark on a camel trek across the dunes as the sun dips below the horizon. After capturing the magic of a desert sunset, return to your luxurious bivouac for an unforgettable evening. Indulge in a traditional dinner, enjoy lively drum music under a starlit sky, and fall asleep in the serene silence of the Sahara.

Awaken to a stunning desert sunrise before enjoying breakfast at the camp. Begin your return journey to Ouarzazate, stopping to visit an ingenious ancient water canal system along the way.

Once in Ouarzazate, explore the historic Taourirt Kasbah, a labyrinth of earthen walls and courtyards, and visit the world-famous Atlas Film Studios, where Hollywood blockbusters like Gladiator and The Jewel of the Nile were filmed.

Next, head to the legendary Aït Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This striking fortified village has served as the backdrop for numerous films, including Game of Thrones and Sahara. End your day with dinner and an overnight stay at a charming hotel in Ouarzazate.

After breakfast, embark on a scenic drive through the High Atlas Mountains, stopping in Telouet, home to a stunning Kasbah steeped in history. Enjoy a leisurely lunch in the village before continuing your journey through the dramatic Tizi-N-Tichka Pass.

Arrive in Marrakech in the afternoon, where your driver will drop you off at your accommodation, marking the end of an extraordinary journey through Morocco’s diverse landscapes and rich heritage.

Reviews of previous travellers

Anastasia Bosc
We had a custom 12-day tour around Morocco with Moroccan Food Tour and it was a fantastic experience. We usually like to plan trips ourselves but felt that Mohammed and his team would do a great job and we were absolutely right. One of our most memorable trips and it would not have been the same without them. We visited Casablanca, Rabat, Chefchaouen, Fes, Sahara Desert (Merzouga, Rissani, Ouarzazate), Marrakesh, Imlil Valley. Mohammed planned the perfect balance of culture, food, and nature into our entire trip. He booked all of our accommodations which were fantastic and a nice mix of traditional and modern. We had plenty of delicious food the entire time too! He was also very responsive to any questions and flexible with budget while planning. We had private transportation the whole trip with the most amazing driver, Ahmed. Ahmed was phenomenal, kind and funny. He knows how to navigate around Morocco without any GPS (including off road in the desert), always attentive to our needs and making sure we had fresh water available at all times, and picked out the BEST food on our lunch stops- tons of amazing BBQ, tajine, salad, and fruits. Our culture/food guides in various cities were extremely friendly, knowledgeable and of course knew the best food spots. We had Mohammed in Casablanca and Rabat, Youssef in Chefchaouen, Fatima in Fes, Ahmed (our driver) in the desert, Soufiane in Marrakesh, and Hassan in Imlil Valley. It was awesome that they chose for us special local dishes to each region. We also had life-changing meals in the family homes that were arranged as part of the tour.

We had the most amazing journey! Everyone we interacted with was very helpful, kind and professional and filled with knowledge that enriched our experience and made our entire tour relaxing, informative, safe, fun, and completely tailored to all of our needs. We met wonderful people and made many new friends and felt more like family members than simply clients on an inclusive tour. We would recommend Moroccan Food Tour to everyone. Rarely does one travel and have such a relaxing flexible experience. We ate new wonderful foods, saw the natural and historical wonders of Morocco, and Ahmed our main guide was just a fantastic person that we enjoyed hanging with and completely trust. Each city that we visited was unique and we never had to worry about the quality of our food and lodging as we left it all to our excellent guides to manage. The few times we asked for a little change or a special addition such as our anniversary dinner the care taken was second to none!

WOW would not begin to explain the 8 day personalized one of a kind experience that Moroccan food tours provided for my wife and I. A more unique experience could not have developed by Mohamed and his staff. Their timely response, attention to details and professionalism made creating and executing our personalized experience a breeze. From the time we arrive in Casablanca Mohamed was there to answer all of our questions, educate us on Morocco’s art, history, food, culture and to provide unique firsthand cultural experiences. Our experience was so unique that we haven’t stopped talking about our next trip with Moroccan food tours. To say that we recommend Moroccan food tours would be an injustice, it should be required if traveling to North Africa. Again our thanks to Mohamed of Moroccan food tours.
