This 5-day Morocco tour from Tangier combines the Rif Mountains, historic cities and the Atlantic coast. Spend the first night in Chefchaouen before continuing through the Roman site of Volubilis and Meknes to Fes, where a dedicated day focuses on the medina and the city's cultural heritage.
The route then continues through Rabat to Casablanca, with the final day following the Atlantic side of Morocco via Asilah back to Tangier. This is a northern and imperial-city circuit, rather than a Sahara desert tour. Four overnight stays and a full day in Fes give the route a different character from the faster desert crossings.
