7 Days in Morocco, incl. Fez and Marrakech
7-day journey bridging Spain and Morocco, from Costa del Sol to Marrakech. Cross the Mediterranean at Tarifa, explore 6 Moroccan cities including UNESCO-listed Fez Medina. Features luxury coach travel, professional guides, and cultural experiences for $175 daily.
- Day 1
Costa del Sol, Spain
Arrive in Costa del Sol and get settled at your hotel. Take this day to rest and prepare for your Moroccan adventure. Pack light layers since Morocco's weather changes significantly between day and night.
- Day 2
Costa del Sol to Fez
Leave early along Costa del Sol to Algeciras or Tarifa for the ferry to Tangier (about 1 hour). The crossing can be rough so consider motion sickness pills. After Moroccan customs you'll have a long but scenic drive to Fez with a quick stop in Meknes. Get your camera ready for your first look at Morocco's ancient city walls.
- Day 3
Fez
Start early to see Fez's UNESCO-listed medina before crowds and heat arrive. The old city has over 9,000 narrow alleys so stay close to your guide. You'll visit the Royal Palace's 7 gates, the Jewish Quarter and Bab Bou Jeloud (Blue Gate). Wear sturdy closed shoes since medieval streets are uneven and sometimes slippery.
- Day 4
Fez to Marrakech via Rabat and Casablanca
A full travel day with lots of sightseeing. Visit the Mohamed V Mausoleum and Hassan Tower in Rabat. In Casablanca you'll see the impressive Hassan II Mosque from outside (no time for interior visits). You'll reach Marrakech by evening. The optional dinner show at Chez Ali offers great Moroccan entertainment if you're interested.
- Day 5
Marrakech to Casablanca
Start your Marrakech tour at the serene Menara Gardens. Visit the Koutoubia Minaret and Bahia Palace before exploring the famous Jemaa el-Fna square and souks. One visitor suggests: "Be prepared for lots of walking and persistent vendors in the medina - a firm but polite 'no thank you' works best." Head back to Casablanca for the night.
- Day 6
Return Journey to Costa del Sol
Leave early for Tangier to catch the ferry to Spain. Border crossing takes time so bring something to read and stay patient. After returning to Spain enjoy the coastal drive to Costa del Sol. Use your last evening to try some local Spanish food.
- Day 7
Departure
Leave your Costa del Sol hotel in the morning. Book afternoon flights if possible to avoid morning traffic to the airport.

- Day 1
Costa del Sol to Tangier
Start your Moroccan adventure with a morning ferry across the Strait of Gibraltar. The trip takes about 1.5 hours. Once in Tangier, visit the Caves of Hercules and Cape Spartel for beautiful coastal views. "Our driver was polite, patient and welcoming, not to mention an amazing driver." Remember to keep some euros with you since many Tangier vendors accept both currencies.
- Day 2
Volubilis, Meknes, and Fes
Get an early start for a packed day of sightseeing. Visit Volubilis's Roman ruins in the morning when it's cooler. Bring sturdy shoes since the ancient stones can be slippery. Next, stop at Meknes to see the impressive Bab Al Mansour gate. The total drive to Fes takes about 3 hours. You'll arrive in time to watch the sunset from a medina rooftop.
- Day 3
Exploring Fes
Spend the whole day in Fes el Bali, the world's largest car-free urban area. You'll need a local guide to help you navigate the medina's 9,000 narrow lanes. Visit the leather tanneries early before the heat brings out stronger smells. Shopping tip: Fixed-price shops often charge 3-4 times more than the souks.
- Day 4
Casablanca and Marrakech
Leave early for Casablanca, a 4-hour drive. Visit the Hassan II Mosque, one of Morocco's few mosques open to non-Muslims. Book your tour in advance since times are limited. Head to Marrakech in the afternoon. "Our guide Mohammad put us together with local guides and we saw so many amazing sites!"
- Day 5
Marrakech Discovery
Visit the Koutoubia Mosque early, then explore the beautiful Bahia Palace. The Djemaa el-Fna square gets busy after 4 PM with performers and food stalls. Give yourself at least 2 hours for the souks. If you're visiting in summer, plan indoor activities like palace visits between 12-3 PM when it's hottest.
- Day 6
Marrakech to Rabat
Drive to Rabat (4 hours) in the morning. Visit the Hassan Tower and Mohammed V Mausoleum around 2 PM when crowds thin out. You can take photos of the blue-uniformed royal guards, but ask first. End your day watching the sunset at the Kasbah des Oudaias with its ocean views.
- Day 7
Rabat to Tangier and Return
Start early for the 4-hour drive back to Tangier. Pick an afternoon ferry to avoid morning fog delays. One experienced traveler suggests: "Only pack one piece of luggage per person - you'll be glad when navigating the medinas and ferry terminals."

firstly it seems that you seem to believe that we were on a 7 day tour, which we were not. The Tour I paid for was for 6 days and started in Barcelona. our real tour guide starting in Madrid was Yolanda! she was good at managing chaos of 3 different tours at times. the management of this tour was bad. why the 2 or 3 different hotels? it was a disjointed tour compared to others I have taken. Also, too much Spanish, which is of course expected with a spanish tour company! Also, the first city overnight stay for us in Madrid was horrible because after finding out in a chaos (again!) that we should stay at some other hotel (only us!) we were dropped off somewhere in Madrid by that guide & bus and told to go up somewhere and turn left, etc. and to sign in by ourself. then he left us all alone in a strange city to us, not knowing if that hotel would even have our reservations and hoping we would actually find it. this is incredibly dangerous and unacceptable!!! I could sue you for this! Then we had to listen to endless Spanish chattering by surrounding people and guide in the bus. Also, the bus did not offer use of the bus toilet! This is also UNACCEPTABLE! Especially when I got sick by some bad food! Bus seats were way too tight for the legs!! The special sights and tours in different cities were beautiful and most city tour guides were great! But that is not much due to Julia´s management, except the guides. I want to comment on the excellent tour guide Yolanda for being able to manage this chaos that is due to Julia´s company mismanagement. She always provided excellent repeated information as to where to meet and at what time. Unfortunately, the Spanish-speaking people of course were NEVER on time and made the rest of us wait sometimes up to 1+ hours! Again unacceptable! But not Yolanda´s fault! The only thing she did not do was show much caring when I was ill at the very last tour day. But that is human. However, my result from this all is that I will NEVER AGAIN go on a tour with Julia Tour.
