Route and driving days
Three transfer days come before the first full day in Fes. If your children can handle that pace, this loop fits the dunes and the blue city into one week. To shorten the road days, ask about leaving out the north or adding a night between Merzouga and Fes.
Marrakech → Dades Valley → Merzouga → Fes → Chefchaouen → Casablanca → Marrakech
The published seven day listing uses a group tour label. Ask whether your quote is for a private vehicle or a shared departure.
Stops along the route
Day-by-day itinerary
Route outline follows the operator’s published seven-day itinerary. Family pacing, group format, exact daily hours, hotel names and inclusions must be reconfirmed for the trip you book.
| Day | Route | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Marrakech to Boumalne Dades | Cross the High Atlas, stop at Aït Benhaddou and Ouarzazate, then continue through the Valley of Roses to the Dades area. A full mountain-road day. Keep sightseeing stops selective and ask for the expected door-to-door time. |
| 2 | Dades Valley to Merzouga | Visit Todra Gorge before continuing east to Merzouga. The listed route includes a camel trek to a desert camp. A long transfer with stops. Confirm when the camel ride begins and how luggage reaches camp. |
| 3 | Merzouga to Fes | Travel north through the Ziz Valley, cedar forests and Ifrane before reaching Fes. The operator’s family planning guide estimates Merzouga to Fes at about 460 km and 7–8 hours before family breaks. |
| 4 | Explore Fes | Take a short guided medina walk. Pick a pottery or tilework stop with the children and leave the afternoon free after the previous day’s drive. |
| 5 | Fes to Chefchaouen | Travel via Meknes and Volubilis, with time for selected historic stops before an evening in Chefchaouen. |
| 6 | Chefchaouen to Casablanca | Continue through Rabat and visit agreed highlights before arriving in Casablanca. |
| 7 | Casablanca to Marrakech | Return to Marrakech to finish the loop. Keep the final day simple if you have an onward flight. |
