How long is Morocco Highlights North to South Signature Journey?

7 days / 6 nights, departing from Tangier. Start times are flexible — we plan around your flights.

Is this a private tour?

Yes. Every Visit Morocco Tours journey is private: your own vehicle, driver and licensed local guides. You never share with strangers.

Private transport with fuel and tolls, accommodation with breakfast, and the guided visits listed above. Flights, lunches, dinners and personal expenses are not included unless stated.

Can the itinerary be changed?

Yes. Days can be added, swapped or slowed down — tell us what matters most and we rewrite the route around it.

Is it suitable for families or older travellers?

Yes. Driving days are broken up with stops, walking is optional, and we can adjust pace, hotels and vehicle to suit everyone in your party.

What does this tour cover in 7 days?

The essential Morocco from north to south: Tangier, Rabat, the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, two full days around Marrakech and a day in the High Atlas, before returning to Tangier. It's ideal for first-time visitors arriving from Spain.

Can I join this tour from Spain by ferry?

Yes. Fast ferries from Tarifa reach Tangier in about an hour, and your driver meets you at the port. The tour ends back in Tangier, so you can sail home too.

Can the tour end in Marrakech instead of returning to Tangier?

Yes. As the tour is private, we can finish in Marrakech, which removes the long drive north, or swap that day for a night in the Sahara. Tell us your flight plans and we'll adapt the route.

When is the best time to visit?

March to May and September to November are ideal for the whole route. In summer, Marrakech is very hot while the north stays milder, and in winter the Atlas can be snowy, which is beautiful but cold.
