With 15 days from Casablanca you can see almost all of Morocco without rushing: the blue streets of Chefchaouen, the medina of Fes, a night in the Sahara, the kasbahs of the south, Marrakech and the coast at Essaouira. With a private driver from the airport, you never worry about trains, buses or luggage, and you can change the plan as you go.

Why 15 Days from Casablanca Is the Ideal Length

Morocco is bigger than it looks on a map. Shorter trips force long drives every day; 15 days from Casablanca gives you time to sleep two nights in the main places and still reach the desert. It also lets you start and finish at the same airport, which usually means cheaper international flights.

If you have less time, see our 7-day Morocco itinerary or our 10-day private driver itinerary. For a shorter desert loop from the airport, read our guide to desert tours from Casablanca.

Days 1 to 4: Casablanca, Rabat and Chefchaouen

Day 1 – Arrival in Casablanca. Your driver meets you at Mohammed V Airport and takes you to your hotel. If you land early, enjoy a short Casablanca city tour with the Hassan II Mosque and the Corniche.

Day 2 – Casablanca to Rabat. Visit the Hassan II Mosque in the morning, then drive about an hour to Rabat, Morocco’s capital, listed by UNESCO. See the Hassan Tower, the Mausoleum of Mohammed V and the Kasbah of the Udayas.

Day 3 – Rabat to Chefchaouen. A scenic drive north into the Rif mountains. Arrive in the blue city in the afternoon and walk the old medina at sunset.

Day 4 – Chefchaouen. A free day to explore the blue lanes, climb to the Spanish Mosque viewpoint or hike to the Akchour waterfalls.

Days 5 to 7: Volubilis, Meknes and Fes

Day 5 – Chefchaouen to Fes via Volubilis. Drive south to the Roman ruins of Volubilis, then the holy town of Moulay Idriss and the imperial city of Meknes, arriving in Fes in the evening. Read more about Volubilis and Meknes.

Day 6 – Fes. A full day in the medina of Fes el Bali, one of the largest car-free urban areas in the world: tanneries, madrasas, souks and workshops. If you need one, a local guide can be arranged on request.

Day 7 – Fes to Merzouga. Cross the Middle Atlas via Ifrane and the cedar forest, then the Ziz Valley, to reach the Sahara dunes for sunset.

Days 8 to 10: The Sahara, Todra and the Kasbahs

Day 8 – Merzouga. A free day in the dunes of Erg Chebbi: sunrise, a 4×4 excursion, a visit to the Gnawa village of Khamlia, or simply rest at your camp.

Day 9 – Merzouga to the Dades Valley. Drive west to the Todra Gorge, walk between its high rock walls, then continue through the Dades Valley.

Day 10 – Dades to Aït Ben Haddou. Cross the Valley of Roses and Ouarzazate, and spend the night near the kasbah of Aït Ben Haddou, so you can see it at sunset and again in the quiet morning.

Day 14 – Marrakech to Essaouira. About three hours west to the Atlantic, through argan country. Enjoy the ramparts, the port and fresh fish by the sea.

Day 15 – Essaouira to Casablanca airport. Drive north along the coast or inland to Mohammed V Airport for your flight home. If your flight is early, spend the last night near Casablanca instead.

Budget Tips for 15 Days from Casablanca

A trip of 15 days from Casablanca has four main costs: transport, hotels, food and entrance tickets. Here is how to keep each one under control.

• Transport: a private driver is priced per vehicle, so sharing it with family or friends lowers the cost per person a lot. For 15 days from Casablanca, it also saves the time of trains, buses and taxis between cities.
• Hotels: riads in the medinas offer charm at every budget. Desert camps range from simple tents to luxury camps with private bathrooms.
• Food: local restaurants are inexpensive; tagine, couscous and grilled meat or fish are available everywhere.
• Tickets: monuments such as the Hassan II Mosque, the Bahia Palace and the Majorelle Garden have separate entrance fees. Keep a small daily budget for them.

Travelling in spring or autumn usually means higher hotel prices than in summer or winter, but better weather. If your dates are flexible, ask us which weeks are quieter for your 15 days from Casablanca.

Why Use a Private Driver for 15 Days from Casablanca

Trains in Morocco are good between Casablanca, Rabat, Fes and Marrakech, but they do not reach the Sahara, the gorges, Chefchaouen or the small kasbahs. Over 15 days from Casablanca, a private driver saves you many hours of buses, taxis and luggage carrying.

With one driver for the whole trip, you have a fixed price per vehicle, the same comfortable car every day and someone who knows the roads. You stop for photos and lunch where you want, and you can change the plan if you fall in love with a place. For 15 days from Casablanca, this flexibility is the biggest difference. See our vehicles to choose the right size for your group.

What to Pack for 15 Days from Casablanca

In 15 days from Casablanca you go from the Atlantic coast to the mountains and the Sahara, so pack light layers:

• Light clothes for the day and a warm jacket for the evenings, the mountains and the desert night.
• Clothes that cover shoulders and knees for mosques, medinas and villages.
• Comfortable walking shoes: medinas have many stairs and uneven streets.
• Sun cream, sunglasses and a hat.
• A small bag for the desert night, while your main luggage stays in the car.
• A universal adapter (Morocco uses type C and E plugs) and a power bank.

Laundry service is easy to find in riads in Fes and Marrakech, so you do not need clothes for all 15 days from Casablanca.

A Shorter Version of 15 Days from Casablanca

Do you love this route but have less time? You can keep the main highlights of 15 days from Casablanca in a shorter trip:

• 10 days: Casablanca, Fes, the Sahara, the Dades Valley and Marrakech. See our 10-day Morocco trip with a private driver.
• 7 days: the imperial cities and one night in the desert. See our Morocco 7 days itinerary.

With fewer days, you drive a little more each day and skip Chefchaouen or Essaouira. If you can, keep the full 15 days from Casablanca: the extra days make the trip much more relaxed.

On the other hand, if you have more than two weeks, you can add Tangier and Asilah in the north, or a few beach days in Agadir or Taghazout at the end. Your driver stays with you for the whole trip, so changes are easy to make.

Best Time for a 15-Day Morocco Trip

Spring and autumn are perfect for this route, because it covers mountains, desert and coast. In summer, the desert is very hot but the coast is pleasant; in winter, mountain passes can see snow and desert nights are cold.
