2 Weeks In Morocco: A Perfect Morocco Itinerary With Photos

Tizgui village, Todra Gorge is one of the stops during 2 weeks in Morocco

Morocco had been on my bucket list for years. I’m not kidding. Like, 20 years! Why?

Well, because it’s got everything the curious traveller could possibly want: history, architecture, adventure, mountains, deserts, culture, style, fascinating people, great weather, it’s close to the UK, and you can cover all of it on a two-week itinerary. What’s not to like?

But I’d repeatedly put off going, because I’d heard worrying reports about the level of hassle some women get in Morocco, and as a blonde female solo traveller I simply couldn’t face it.

I kept filing it away for a time when I might have a man – or at least a couple of mates – to protect me, but as the years have gone by, and that hasn’t happened, I finally decided to just bite the bullet and get on with it.

Life’s too short to wait around, right?

About this Morocco 2 week itinerary

I booked a two week trip to Morocco over Christmas and New Year with Flash Pack, a group travel company that caters to solo travellers in their 30s and 40s.

That means that this 14 day Morocco itinerary has been researched and prepared by experts.

This isn’t the vague ramblings of someone who’s only been to Morocco once, and it hasn’t been invented by AI or a robot or some copy-paste blogger who’s never even been near the country they’re writing about.

It’s been planned by people who know Morocco inside and out, and have created the perfect 2 week Morocco itinerary that includes all the country’s highlights.

So if you want to spend two weeks in Morocco and are trying to figure out where to go and what to do, look no further. This itinerary is perfect and simply cannot be beaten.

Here’s the route we took. To go to the full map, click here.

Day 1 – Arrival in Casablanca

I didn’t take any photos of Casablanca, I’m afraid! Our 14 day Morocco trip got off to a shaky start when I found myself caught up in the Gatwick Airport drone chaos and I didn’t end up arriving until late at night.

However if you do manage to arrive in the morning, or the night before, you can spend the day exploring Morocco’s economic capital, which has French colonial charm, colourful souks, and a blend of tradition and modernity. Visit the iconic Hassan II Mosque, check out the famous Rick’s Cafe from the film Casablanca, or wander along the scenic seafront promenade, the Corniche.

I wasn’t too fussed about missing out. We still had our whole 2-week Morocco itinerary ahead of us, and I had no doubt there were going to be plenty of other amazing things to see.

Where to stay in Casablanca

We stayed in Hotel Barcelo, a smart modern hotel in central Casablanca, less than 10 minutes’ drive from the city centre and Hassan II Mosque.

Day 2 – Travel to Akchour

View from the road to Akchour on our Morocco two week itinerary

Day Two of our Morocco 2-week itinerary started early as we piled into our bus and made the 7-hour drive north east to Akchour.  We swiftly left the built-up city behind and watched the landscape change from flat aridity to craggy red cliffs and green valleys

Akchour is a national park with beautiful mountain scenery; there are some stunning hikes you can do and waterfalls you can hike to. Sadly due to a few unexpected delays, and the fact that it was winter and the days were shorter, we didn’t arrive before it got dark, so no waterfalls for us. But if you’re planning your trip in summer and you like the great outdoors, you should definitely check the area out.

Where to stay in Akchour

We stayed at the Ermitage d’Akchour, a charming ecolodge tucked away in the mountains. As we were in the north, and it was winter, this place was freezing! If you’re visiting Morocco in the winter I strongly recommend you bring plenty of warm clothes as I wasn’t fully prepared.

Akchour is about an hour from Chefchaouen, so if you’re not bothered about the national park or the waterfalls and are mainly interested in seeing the famous blue town, I’d recommend heading straight to Chefchaouen and staying there instead.

Day 3 – Chefchaouen

Chefchaouen is one of the main reasons I wanted to visit Morocco. I’d seen photos of the famous blue city with its picturesque narrow streets and knew it was a photographer’s dream – how could I not want to go and photograph it for myself?!

The famous blue city of Chefchaouen should definitely be on your Morocco itinerary

Chefchaouen is famed for being one of the prettiest towns in the entire country, and from these photos I’m sure you can see why it’s an Instagram favourite. Apparently it was originally painted blue to help repel mosquitoes, but now regularly given an extra coat to attract tourists!

Chefchaouen is a photographer’s dream

There are loads of things to do in Chefchaouen, but the main draw is the medina, a dazzling blue maze of streets all leading back to a central plaza. 

On the main footpath, small stalls and souks sell all manner of arts and crafts, and the main streets can get very busy with tourists posing for photos.

Duck into any narrow side street, however, and you’ll soon find yourself away from the tourist madness in a calm, blue-washed paradise. But don’t worry, it’s compact and fairly easy to navigate, so you won’t get lost for long.

I abandoned the group and spent a very pleasant few hours wandering with my camera.  Everywhere you turn there’s another pretty blue door, another cute alleyway. 

My only complaint was that quite understandably most of the locals are pretty fed up with tourists shoving cameras in their faces all day long, and in most cases no amount of flirting or charm could persuade them to let me take their photo

This, I soon found, was a running theme throughout most of our 2 weeks in Morocco, and something that as a documentary-style photographer I found very frustrating.

Fortunately there were plenty of eye-catching blue corners for me to photograph instead.

Where to stay in Chefchaouen

We returned to the same hotel as we’d stayed the previous night, Ermitage d’Akchour, which is about an hour’s drive from Chefchaouen.

However it might make more sense for you to stay in Chefchaouen itself, in which case here are a couple of options:

BUDGET: Casa Sabila: Unassuming guesthouse featuring 5 low-key rooms & Moorish styling, plus a lounge with a fireplace

MID-RANGE: Riad Cherifa: Colorful, ornate rooms in a traditional riad featuring a courtyard & a hammam, plus gardens.

Day 4 – Volubilis

Next morning, get back on the road and drive for about 3 hours (164 km or 102 miles) to the archaeological site of Volubilis.

The city of Volubilis, near Meknes, was built by the Romans in the 2nd and 3rd centuries, and at its peak was home to 20,000 people. 

It’s the best-preserved ancient city in Morocco, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the star of the show on Day 4 of your Morocco travel itinerary

The author (me!) stands between ancient columns in the Roman city of Volubilis, another great place to see in Morocco
The Roman city of Volubilis is another great place to see in Morocco

Only about half the site has been excavated, but there’s still plenty to see, including a huge forum, triumphal arch, Roman baths, and some amazing mosaics still preserved in situ.

In the 18th century many of the monuments were felled by an earthquake, but have since been restored to their former glory.

The Roman city of Volubilis is another great place to see in Morocco

Volubilis is a fairly small site so you only need a couple of hours to wander round. However I do recommend getting a guide to make sense of the different areas and buildings and tell you stories about the history of the site and the Roman occupation in Morocco.

Don’t forget to bring a hat, sunscreen and water – there’s very little shade here!

When you’ve had enough of Roman ruins, continue your journey to Fes, which is about 1 hr 30 minutes drive away.

Where to stay in Fes

We stayed at the Hotel Sahrai, Fes. This is a stunning luxury five star hotel, and was one of the nicest hotels we stayed in during the whole of our Morocco 14 day itinerary.

Day 5 – Fes

Fes isn’t the capital of Morocco, but it may well be its beating heart: busy, intoxicating, vibrant, a feast for the senses. It was my favourite city in Morocco and should absolutely, without question, be on your 2 weeks Morocco itinerary.

And right at the top of the must-see list in Morocco’s must-see city is the famous medieval medina.

Fes medina was one of the highlights of my 2-week trip to Morocco
Fes medina was one of the highlights of my 2-week trip to Morocco

Founded in the 8th century, Fes Medina is the oldest medina in the world, a mind-boggling labyrinth of tiny narrow streets, shops, houses, and small businesses. And by narrow, I mean, well… some of them are tiny!

Going inside is like stepping back in time: a riot of smells, noises and colours, with traditionally-dressed ladies shopping for fruit and spices, hidden souks selling everything from fish to furniture, and men with heavily-laden carts pushing through the narrow alleyways shouting ‘balak!’ (look out!) as they nearly run you over.

You will definitely get lost in Fes medina, but that’s all part of the experience, and when you’re done, you can just pay a small boy to show you the way out again.

Souks and shoppers inside Fes Medina, a must-see on any Morocco trip itinerary

One place you should definitely check out while you’re in Fes is the Chouara leather tannery, hidden in the heart of the medina. The buildings house workshops and shops creating and selling beautiful leather goods, but it’s the central square where the hard work really happens.

All the leather is cured and dyed in open pits by hand – and foot! – using such delightful ingredients as quicklime, urine, and pigeon guano – the same way it’s been done for centuries. The stench is incredible, and watching the workers in the pits I really felt for them – that definitely is not a job I envy.

We only had one day in Fes (sometimes spelled Fez), and frankly it wasn’t nearly enough – there are loads of amazing things to do in Fes and I could have spent the entire trip here!

I longed to get properly lost in the medina, to ditch the group and take my time wandering with my camera.

But here, as in Chefchaouen, the locals had clearly had enough of tourists with cameras, so I really wanted to get away from the main streets and take my time to embed myself in the place a bit more for better results.

But sadly while there are many advantages of group travel, one of the downsides is that you’re not the boss, and you have to follow the guide’s planned route and schedule. 

I strongly urge you to allocate at least two days of your Morocco trip itinerary in Fes, and as for me, well, I’ll just have to come back another time!

Where to stay in Fes

We stayed a second night in the stunning five-star Hotel Sahrai.

If your budget won’t stretch that far, then you should definitely stay in the much more affordable and very beautiful Riad Tizwa, which is actually run by a guy I used to work with at the BBC so please tell him I sent you!

Day 6 – Midelt

Today you’ll leave Fes and head due south towards the Atlas mountains. The roads will become windy and the snow-capped high Altas soon come into view. 

We stopped for coffee in Ifrane, a somewhat bizarre hill station modelled on a Swiss ski resort, before continuing the drive to Midelt.

The journey from Fes to Midelt takes about 3-4 hours, depending on the length of your coffee stop.

Midelt, Morocco 2 week itinerary
Midelt is a small town in Morocco that makes a good stop en route to the Sahara

Midelt is an agricultural and mining hub with about 55,000 residents. It’s essentially a commercial centre surrounded by farmland and small villages so it doesn’t have many things for tourists to do. It does, however, have some nice countryside walks, and unlike in the main tourist hotspots the local people here were more agreeable about having their photos taken.

Midelt is an interesting place to visit if you want to see the real Morocco, off the beaten tourist track. The main reason we stopped here was because it’s too far to drive all the way to the Sahara in one go.

I found the locals in Midelt to be much more friendly than those in Chefchaouen or Fes

While in Midelt we did an afternoon walk to visit a Berber village.

The Berber people are one of the main indigenous groups of North Africa, and many of them still live either a nomadic life, or in traditional mud-brick villages like this one, Berram, which was built in the 15th century and has around 2000 inhabitants.

If you were in any doubt about how cold it gets in Morocco in the winter, check out what Rachida, who I met in Berram, is wearing. No wonder she was happy to pose for a photo – you can barely see her!

Day 6 – Sahara Desert

After a night in Midelt, it’s time to hit the road again and head another 4 hours’ drive south to Merzouga, in the Sahara Desert.

This was the day of our Morocco two week itinerary that I’d been most excited about of all – the chance to get right into the Sahara and spend a night under the stars.

The mysterious Sahara desert
The mysterious Sahara desert, Morocco

The drive to the Sahara took us over the 2000m high pass of the High Atlas with some epic views, and down the other side to the edge of the desert, to a place called Erg Znaigui. Here we transferred into 4WD vehicles for a short and bumpy drive over the dunes to our accommodation for the night: Merzouga Desert Camp.

And no, this isn’t some basic-level campsite where you lie on the ground under canvas, freezing to death – this is the finest glamping, with luxury tents with proper beds and even heaters all arranged round a roaring camp fire.

Merzouga desert camp, Morocco
Merzouga desert camp was the highlight of my Morocco 2 week itinerary

The experience of spending a night glamping in the Sahara Desert is one that I’ll never forget (and would love to do again someday. The stunning rolling sand dunes, the wide open skies, the comfortable luxury tents – it was epic.

As the light faded we mounted camels and rode up to the top of the highest nearby sand dune to watch the sunset with a glass of wine – all very civilised indeed!

And then after a delicious three-course dinner with wine, the rest of the group settled round the camp fire (with more wine) while I wandered out into the dunes with my camera and tripod to photograph the night sky.

Where to stay in the Sahara Desert

We stayed at Merzouga Luxury Desert Camp, an incredible luxury desert campsite in the middle of nowhere. Find out more about it at Glamping in the Morocco Desert at Merzouga Luxury Camp.

Day 8 – Fossils in Erfoud

After a very cosy night’s sleep in your luxury desert tent, you’ll be woken up early so you can camel ride (or hike) to the top of a sand dune to watch the sunrise. Just don’t do what I did and miss your alarm – the group had left without me, meaning I had to run up the sand dunes to catch up!

Luckily all those trips to the gym paid off, and I made it just in time, but as anyone who’s ever paced it up a sand dune will tell you, it was quite a workout (though much-needed after all those hours on the bus).

Sunrise over the Sahara is not to be missed on your 2-week Morocco itinerary
Sunrise over the Sahara is not to be missed on your 2 week Morocco itinerary

Then, sadly, it’s back down to the campsite for breakfast, before heading out of the desert and back to the main roads, to continue the journey to Erfoud, about an hour away.

Like many deserts, the Sahara used to be an ocean, and today Morocco is a hugely important site for the collection and study of fossils and ancient sea creatures. The area near Erfoud is the top fossil destination in the country and a fascinating place to visit in Morocco.

Four hundred million years ago this entire region was underwater, and today the rocky ground is full to bursting with squid and ammonite fossils, which are dug out of the ground and hand-carved and polished into amazing bowls, plates, ornaments, and other bits of home decor.

Fossils, Erfoud, Morocco
These fossils are 400 million years old!

In my job as a documentary director I’ve visited many ancient archaeological sites where it’s absolutely forbidden to take anything away, so the idea that you can actually buy and keep a piece of ancient history from a time long before humans existed absolutely blows my mind!

I couldn’t resist and bought a small bowl and a plate, but if you’re feeling particularly flush, you can even buy a fossil dining table or an entire kitchen worktop with genuine fossils from 400 million years ago embedded in it. They were both fascinating and stunning, and if I win the lottery, I will definitely be coming back here to get one!

After admiring the fossils and watching the workmen bring them to life out of the rock, we continued our journey another two hours west to Tinghir.

Where to stay in Tinghir

We stayed at Hotel Kasbah Lamrani in Tinghir, a very budget friendly and comfortable traditional kasbah with a pool.

Day 9 – Hiking in Todra Gorge

Tinghir is the town closest to Morocco’s stunning Todra Gorge, which is about a 20-minute drive from the town.

Here the orange rocks are riven in two, as though some all-powerful god has cleaved the landscape with a thunderbolt, and a path winds first through the base of the gorge, and then uphill towards the top of the cliffs 300 metres above.

Not surprisingly this area is a great place to go hiking, and after all that time spent on the bus it was exhilarating to be able to get out and stretch our legs in the sunshine and crisp fresh air. The scenery is magnificent, and I definitely recommend adding Todra Gorge to your 2 weeks Morocco itinerary.

As well as hiking, these vertical cliffs are hugely popular with rock climbers, so if that’s more your thing, it’s definitely worth looking into.

It takes about three hours to walk from the base of Todra Gorge to the top. Halfway up we stopped at a Berber smallholding, where 85-year-old Ba Ahmed served us traditional Moroccan mint tea from his cave home.

After stopping at the top for photos, follow the path down the other side to the Berber village of Tizgui, where you can stop for lunch before continuing your walk along the Todra River valley and back to where you started.

Where to stay in Todra Gorge

We stayed a second night at the Hotel Kasbah Lamrani. With two nights in Tinghir, that means you get the full day to explore Todra Gorge and the surrounding area.

Day 10 – Ait Ben Haddou

After a second night in Tinghir, it’s time to get back in the car and carry on west to Ait Ben Haddou.

Ait Ben Haddou is a 17th century mud-brick fortified town on the southern slopes of the High Atlas, and one of Morocco’s most iconic and well-known destinations.

Ait Ben Haddou is a must-see on any Morocco itinerary
Ait Ben Haddou is a must-see during your 2 weeks in Morocco

This UNESCO World Heritage site contains houses, a mosque, two cemeteries and a watchtower right at the top, and is mainly famous for being the location for a tonne of films and TV shows, including The Living Daylights, The Mummy, Jesus of Nazareth, Prince of Persia, Gladiator, Babel, and Game of Thrones.

In Season 3 of Game of Thrones, Daenerys Targaryen conquers the city of Yunkai – which is based here. Meanwhile in Gladiator, it’s here that Russell Crowe’s character Maximus trains as a gladiator after being taken into slavery.

Once you’ve explored all the alleys and passageways, admired the view from the top, and tried to avoid buying anything from the many traders, you might want to stop into the nearby Akhnif carpets co-operative, where they make the famous hand-woven Moroccan wool carpets.

Many a visitor (including a couple of my fellow travellers) has ended up buying one and having it shipped back – for far less than you’d pay for it either in the souks in Marrakech, or in your home country.

From here, if you haven’t had enough mountains, you could take a detour as you cross the Atlas Mountains on your way back to Marrakech to climb Mount Toubkal.

Where to stay near Ait Ben Haddou

We stayed in Riad Ksar Ighnda, a very beautiful luxury Moroccan riad with 40 rooms, gardens and an outdoor swimming pool.

Day 11 – To Marrakech

Your 2 weeks in Morocco are nearly up, and it’s time to hop back in the car or bus and drive northwest for about four hours to reach the last destination on your Morocco itinerary: Marrakech.

Like Fes, Marrakech has a historic medina

Marrakech (sometimes spelled Marrakesh) is probably Morocco’s most famous city, and although it’s not the capital nor even the largest city, it’s still usually the place all tourists either start in or end up.

With its medieval medina, mosques, shopping areas, great foodie hangouts, palaces and museums, there’s plenty to keep you occupied for several days in Marrakech.

Morocco 2 week itinerary
We visited Marrakech as part of our 2 week Morocco tour

One of the top places to visit during your stay in Marrakech is the famous Place Jemaa el-Fna, the city’s main square.

By day it’s full of market traders, snake charmers and street performers trying to make a living from tourists, while at night it comes alive with food stalls and revellers. I highly recommend doing a nighttime Marrakech food tour to sample some of Morocco’s delicious foods and experience the buzz of the streets around the square as they come alive at night.

Marrakech food stall
I’m relieved to say they didn’t make us eat sheep’s heads…

Our tour took us through the narrow streets of the medina, where we sampled freshly-baked Moroccan bread, tooth-numbingly sweet pastries, olives, Moroccan spices and tea.

Then it was back to the main square for the main course: grilled meats and vegetables from one of the many bustling street food stalls.

Where to stay in Marrakech

We stayed in the very lovely 2Ciels Boutique Hotel, but you could also stay in one of the city’s many cute riads such as Riad Tizwa Marrakech, the sister hotel of the one in Fes I mentioned earlier.

Day 12 – Marrakech

For us this was the last full day on our Morocco two week itinerary, and a chance to explore Marrakech’s famous medina. It’s busier and noisier than the one in Fes, but no less charming.

Everywhere you turn there’s another alleyway, another souk filled with interesting things to buy, and another photogenic view.

Marrakech medina
Any Morocco itinerary should definitely include Marrakech medina

You have to keep your wits about you though. The narrow streets are often crowded, and people on mopeds speed through at an alarming rate. If you don’t watch out you might get flattened!

I did find the medina quite overwhelming, particularly when it came to shopping. I’m not a big souvenir hunter at all; normally I just buy a fridge magnet and that’s it, but Morocco is such a treasure trove of incredible crafts that it’s almost impossible to resist. 

All along our journey we’d stopped in at local co-operatives where we were able to buy rugs, Argan oil, ceramic pottery, silk scarves, leather bags and jackets and even fossils directly from the producers for a good price (with bartering help from our guide), and even I did succumb once or twice.

Marrakech medina
Inside Marrakech medina

But being left to my own devices in the hustle and bustle of the medina was too much for me, and I panicked and bought nothing. Which was probably just as well since my bag was already full!

So if you’re heading to Morocco for two weeks with high hopes of coming back with some fabulous swag (and you really should consider it), take note. Definitely buy directly from the producers if you can, and make sure you bring a big suitcase like the Antler Clifton hard-shelled case.

I really wished we’d been able to stay longer. I feel like three days in Marrakech would be a good amount of time to spend. So if you’re planning to spend a full 2 weeks in Morocco, here’s where I suggest you add in an extra day.

Day 13 – Marrakech

If you’re staying a full 14 days in Morocco, this is your last full day and a chance to spend the day exploring the historic wonders of Marrakech, such as the Bahia Palace or the Jardin Majorelle.

Or you can do some more shopping or do what I did and enjoy a traditional hammam, where you basically sit almost totally naked in a hot steam room while a strong-armed masseur/euse buffs your entire epidermis off with a scrapy glove before rubbing you all over with scented oil until you fall asleep.

Sounds a bit weird, but it was absolutely amazing and afterwards my skin felt as soft as a baby’s.

2 weeks in Morocco: some FAQs

How many days is enough for Morocco?

This depends on your interests, your budget and how much you want to see. Most travelers recommend spending at least 7-10 days in Morocco to get a good taste of the country. This will allow you time to visit the major cities, explore the desert, and experience the culture. However I don’t think 1 week in Morocco is enough, and to really see the highlights without being too rushed, I recommend following this excellent 2 week Morocco itinerary!

When is the best time to visit Morocco?

My favourite time to travel are the shoulder seasons of spring and autumn, when the kids are back in school, prices are cheaper and temperatures aren’t too hot. But here are your options:
Spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) offer pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds.
Summer (June-August) can be hot, especially in the desert, but it’s a good time to visit the coast for swimming.
Winter (December-February) can be mild in the south, but it can be cold and rainy in the mountains.

How do I get around Morocco?

There are a few different ways to get around for this 14 days Morocco itinerary:
Train: Morocco has a good train network that connects the major cities.
Bus: Buses are a more affordable option, but they can be slower than trains.
Grand Taxi: Shared taxis are a popular way to get around between cities and towns. They are a good option if you are on a budget, but they can be crowded and uncomfortable.
Rental car: Renting a car is a good option if you want to explore the countryside at your own pace. However, driving in Morocco can be challenging, so only rent a car if you are a confident driver.

What should I wear in Morocco?

Morocco is a Muslim country, so it is important to dress modestly. This means covering your shoulders and knees. Women may also want to cover their heads with a scarf, although this is not mandatory.

Do you need a visa to visit Morocco?

Citizens of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia do not need a visa to visit Morocco for tourism purposes and stays up to 90 days. You need to make sure you have at least 3 months validity on your passport and proof of onward travel. Other nationalities may have different requirements.
