Testimonials of our 7-day tour from Tetouan to Marrakech

100% RECOMMENDED

We’ve just returned from an 8-day vacation that took us through communities and amazing scenery on our way to the deepest part of Morocco, “the desert,” which has captivated us again again. Hassan, our host and first-class driver, was timely, witty, and attentive, ensuring that we had a memorable few days. We want to return and continue to appreciate this great nation and its people, and we will, of course, use this firm again. Friends, SHUKRAN for everything.

Marrakech and Merzouga from Tetouan

Very good experience. Our guide was Mohamed the grandfather and everything was great with him, very nice and pleasant. He speaks very good Spanish, he told us a lot of things and answered our countless questions! We were picked up and dropped off at the airport, we visited Marrakech and went to the desert of Merzouga. Highly recommended everything. I will come back to Morocco and I will hire them again 🙂
It was a unique excursion that gave us a lot of pleasure.
We highly recommend this tour and our driver!

7-day tour from Tetouan to Marrakech highlights overview

THE MEDINA OF TETOUAN

Tetouan was particularly important as the principal crossroads between Morocco and Andalusia throughout the Islamic era. Our 7-day tour from Tetouan will take you to explore Dove City before it ends in Marrakech. From the 8th century onwards. The city was rebuilt following the Reconquest by refugees who had been forced out of the area by the Spanish.

This may be observed in architecture and art, which are heavily influenced by Andalusian culture.

It is one of Morocco’s smaller medinas, but it is unquestionably the most intact, with the bulk of its structures unaffected by outside influences.

Tetouan’s medina is enclosed by an ancient wall that stretches for roughly 5 kilometers and has seven gates.

The urban grid is defined by main arteries that connect the gates and provide access to open spaces (squares and plazas) and monuments of collective interest, such as fondouks, mosques, zaouias, and neighborhoods intended for crafts and commerce, on the one hand, and secondary roads leading to dead ends and residential blocks that serve as semi-private spaces, on the other.

BAB SEPTA

The historic northeastern entrance of Tetouan’s medina, Bab Sebta, connects to a neighboring cemetery.

The earliest complex zawiya, the Zaouia Al Harraria, was erected in 1828 for Sidi Mohammed el-Harrak just within the medina, at the top of a series of steps.

The tanneries are on the right, near the wall of the Jewish cemetery, a must-see.

Then let yourself be directed around the staggered alleys of this flat, sunny area of the medina to the discovery of numerous artisans.

The cultural, Fes.

Fes, Morocco’s historic capital, has two “old” cities”—medinas—because of its rich past. Fes el Jdid is home to the royal palace, the Jewish cemetery, and the Boujeloud Gardens. Fez el Bali, with 14 gates, 6,000 lanes, 200 mosques, and 180 hammams, is the world’s most perplexing medina.

Fez is the fourth-biggest city in Morocco and the oldest of the four imperial cities. It is also a testament to three ages, as seen by the old city’s architectural look. Fes, like many other historical cities, is located far from the ocean; thus, the ideal months to visit are April–May or October–November, when the weather is pleasant and you can stroll about the city, taking in the sights.

On the whole large expanse of the Fes medina, driving motorized vehicles is prohibited. Donkeys, porters, and bikers have a bright future ahead of them!

Merzouga Sahara desert

The Sahara Desert is the first thing that comes to mind when you think about Morocco. Southern Morocco is home to this massive desert. One of the desert’s entry points is Merzouga. Merzouga isn’t that intriguing, and you won’t want to spend much time there. This is the area, though, from which you will go to the Erg Chebbi desert (part of the Sahara).

At Erg Chebbi, you may participate in a range of pleasant activities. It is feasible, for example, to camp in a Berber desert camp and spend the night in the desert. You may even take a camel ride or explore the sandy hills in a 4×4.
