Departure city

Casablanca

Morocco's biggest city and its main airport. Most people pass through it; our tours start from it — from your hotel or straight from arrivals — and end in Marrakech four or six days later.

In short

Casablanca

Casablanca is not a tourist city and does not pretend to be: it is a port and a business capital with one extraordinary building, the Hassan II Mosque on the ocean, a small old medina, Art Deco streets from the French era and a long corniche. What it has is the airport most international flights use. Our Casablanca tours are built for that: a private driver meets you at Mohammed V airport or your hotel, and the journey runs east to Fes, south through the Middle Atlas to the Sahara, then west through the gorges and over the Tichka to Marrakech, where your flight home leaves. Four days is the desert crossing; six days adds Chefchaouen, Volubilis and Meknes in the north. The reverse direction (Marrakech to Casablanca) is the same road backwards, ending at the airport. Private only — the distances and the airport timing need your own vehicle.

What to expect

Before you go

Casablanca
Airport pick-up

Your driver waits at the exit of arrivals with a Morocco Tiziri sign. Flights arriving before about 13:00 can start the tour the same day; later arrivals sleep in Casablanca and start the next morning.

Casablanca
The first day

4-day tour: Casablanca → (Rabat stop optional) → Fes, about 3 hours, afternoon in the Fes medina. 6-day grand tour: Casablanca → Rabat → Chefchaouen, about 4 hours.

Casablanca
The city

If you have a morning: the mosque, the Habous quarter, a coffee on the corniche. It is not necessary to stay longer; the tour is the point.

      Questions

      Before you go

      Can the tour start directly at the airport?
      Yes. Flights landing by early afternoon start the same day; later, we book a night in Casablanca and leave in the morning.
      Why don't you run shared tours from Casablanca?
      The departure times depend on flights and the route is long; a fixed group departure does not work here. All Casablanca tours are private.
      Is four days enough?
      For the desert crossing, yes: Fes day one, dunes day two, gorges day three, Marrakech day four. Six days adds the north.
      Can we do it in reverse and fly out of Casablanca?
      Yes: Marrakech → Casablanca, 4 days, ending at Mohammed V airport in time for an evening flight.
      Should we spend a night in Casablanca?
      Only if the flight forces it. The city is worth a morning, not a day.
