5 days tour from Tangier to Marrakech

Begin your journey in Tangier, the northern gateway to Morocco where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic. After breakfast, head south along the coast toward Rabat, the capital city. The 3-hour drive offers a scenic start to the tour, blending ocean views with green countryside. Once in Rabat, spend your day visiting its historical gems: the Kasbah of the Udayas, with its whitewashed alleys and ocean views; the Hassan Tower, an unfinished 12th-century minaret; and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, a masterpiece of modern Alaouite architecture. Stroll through the relaxed medina and enjoy a seaside dinner before settling in for the night.

After breakfast, take a short drive to Casablanca, Morocco’s modern and economic capital. While the city is more contemporary than others, it holds one of the country’s most iconic landmarks: the Hassan II Mosque, dramatically set over the Atlantic and one of the few mosques in Morocco open to non-Muslim visitors. Walk along the Corniche, the coastal promenade lined with cafes and ocean views. You can also explore Casablanca’s French-colonial heritage in the city center, admire the architecture of Place Mohammed V, and visit cultural spots like the Villa des Arts or the Jewish Museum. Enjoy a stylish dinner in the Maarif district or at a rooftop overlooking the mosque.

Depart Casablanca and begin your journey inland to Marrakech, one of Morocco’s most captivating cities. The drive takes around three hours and brings you to the vibrant heart of southern Morocco. After arrival, dive straight into the energy of Jemaa el-Fnaa Square, a UNESCO-listed cultural space filled with street performers, food vendors, and local storytellers. As the sun sets, the square transforms into a lively open-air restaurant and night market. Enjoy dinner on a rooftop terrace while taking in the buzzing atmosphere before heading to your riad or hotel for a restful night.

Spend a full day exploring the Red City, starting with its iconic historical sites. Visit the intricate Bahia Palace, the solemn Saadian Tombs, and the impressive Koutoubia Mosque—a landmark visible from many parts of the city. Wander through the colorful souks, where artisans sell leather goods, lanterns, spices, and more. If you’re seeking a bit of serenity, visit the Majorelle Garden, once owned by Yves Saint Laurent, or relax in a traditional hammam spa. For something hands-on, consider a Moroccan cooking class or guided tour of hidden gems in the medina. Wrap up your day with a show or dinner at a traditional riad.

On your final day, enjoy a relaxed morning in Marrakech. Depending on your departure time, visit any missed sights such as the Dar Si Said Museum, the Menara Gardens, or take a camel ride in the Palmeraie outside the city. You can also squeeze in some last-minute shopping for souvenirs like argan oil, rugs, or ceramics. Your tour ends with a transfer to Marrakech Menara Airport or your onward destination, leaving you with unforgettable memories of Morocco’s northern coast and vibrant southern soul.
