It costs $2,518 per person, holds a 5.0 rating from 23 reviews, and includes ten nights of accommodation, breakfast, dinner and city walking guides in five places. This page sets out what that price covers, what it does not, the shape of each day, and who should book something shorter instead.

About This Tour
Morocco Arukikata runs this as a fully private package with a professional English-speaking driver in an air-conditioned vehicle. You meet the driver at Terminal 2 of Casablanca airport and the same driver stays with the group for the whole loop, which ends with hotel drop-off in Marrakech. City walking historical guides join in Chefchaouen, Volubilis, Meknes, Fes and Marrakech, so you get a driver plus local guides in the five main sightseeing stops.
The route is the grand version of the classic loop. It adds Chefchaouen and Volubilis, keeps Meknes, and gives the Sahara one night rather than a rushed afternoon. Ten nights of accommodation are included, though the listing does not state the hotel class. The desert night is in a luxury camp over the sand dunes with Berber music after dinner. Breakfast and dinner are covered, lunch is not.

What the Price Actually Covers
The $2,518 figure is the from-price per person on Viator. Here is what the listing itself puts inside and outside that figure.
Included and Excluded, Line by Line
The inclusions are unusually wide for the price band: the camel tour and the luxury camp night are both inside the package, and so are the five city walking guides. All fees and taxes are listed as included, but the listing does not itemise monument entrances, so ask the operator before booking if entry tickets matter to your budget. What is missing is just as clear. Lunch never appears in the inclusions, drinks are excluded, and tips are excluded. Breakfast and dinner are covered.
Flights are not included, and the listing does not offer reserve now, pay later. There are no stated mandatory extras at checkout.
The listing does not say where the luxury camp stands, only that the tour crosses the Sahara after Fes.
| Line | In the price | Notes |

What You May Pay on the Day
Budget for lunch each day, since only breakfast and dinner are included. Drinks with meals are extra. Tipping is excluded, and common guidance for Morocco suggests 100 to 200 MAD per day for a tour driver and 100 to 150 MAD for a full-day guide, plus small amounts for hotel staff.
Monument entrances are not itemised in the inclusion list even though all fees and taxes are listed as covered, so confirm with the operator which site tickets you buy yourself. No single supplement amount is stated for solo travellers, so ask before booking alone.

What the Day Is Really Like
The listing does not print a stop-by-stop timetable with clock times, so this follows the route order it does state, with the drive legs filled in from independent sources.
From the Airport to the Blue City
Day one starts at Terminal 2 of Casablanca airport, where the driver meets you. Casablanca is Morocco's biggest city with 3,218,036 residents in 2024, and the Hassan II Mosque, with a minaret of about 210 m (one guide says 200 m), is its best-known sight. The route then heads north.
Chefchaouen sits at 564 m in the Rif Mountains and was founded in 1471. Its blue alleys are the reason most tours detour here, and a city walking guide is included.
Roman Ruins and an Imperial Capital
From Chefchaouen the road drops south to Volubilis, a Roman city of about 42 hectares inside 2.6 km of walls that once held around 20,000 people, inscribed by UNESCO in 1997. Meknes follows, the capital of Sultan Moulay Ismail, who ruled from 1672 to 1727, inscribed by UNESCO in 1996. Both stops come with an included walking guide.
Fes is next. Fes el-Bali was founded between 789 and 808 AD and became a World Heritage Site in 1981. The listing does not name the Chouara Tannery, the largest tannery in Fes, as a stop, so ask your guide if you want to see it.
Into the Dunes and Over the Atlas
After Fes the tour crosses toward the Sahara. The Fes to Merzouga road runs about 457 km with roughly 7 h 14 min of driving per Rome2Rio, so expect a full day in the vehicle. Merzouga camel rides to camp usually leave one to two hours before sunset and take about an hour.
The night is in a luxury camp over the sand dunes with Berber music after dinner. The listing does not say exactly where the camp is. The listing then calls at Ait Ben Haddou, a rammed-earth ksar on an old trans-Saharan trade route inscribed by UNESCO in 1987, before Marrakech.
The Marrakech to Ouarzazate road crosses the Tizi n'Tichka pass, which a 2022 GPS measurement puts at 2,205 m while the sign at the top still reads 2,260 m. Marrakech to Ait Benhaddou is 171.4 km and about 2 h 58 min of driving. The tour ends with hotel drop-off in Marrakech, where the included city walking guide covers a medina founded around 1070 and Jemaa el-Fnaa, proclaimed a masterpiece of intangible heritage in 2001.

Who This Tour Rules Out
Eleven private days at this price suit some travellers and shut out others. Here is who should book differently.
Travellers Who Should Look Elsewhere
If your leave is short, eight days is enough to see the same spine of the country. The 8-Day Private Morocco Tour covers Casablanca, Chefchaouen, Fes, the desert and Marrakech from $1,300 with a customizable itinerary, though its inclusions list is thinner. If you want hotels guaranteed at a good standard, this listing does not state its hotel class at all.
The 10-Day Luxury Private Morocco Tour spells out 4 to 5-star hotels and riads, includes lunch and water on the road, and costs $3,994. If you would rather split the cost with strangers, the 10-Day Morocco Desert Tour via Imperial Cities runs as a shared group of up to 14 from Casablanca and back for $2,403, but check its checkout extras, which Viator lists as $302 on top.
Physical Demands and Limits
The listing says the tour suits all physical fitness levels but is not recommended for travellers with poor cardiovascular health, a fair warning given drive days of seven hours or more in the Fes to desert leg. Wheelchair access is not stated, so ask the operator directly if you need it. Infants must sit on an adult's lap, though specialised infant seats are available, and children can ride in a pram or stroller.
The age bands from infant to senior up to 99 are pricing tiers on Viator, not participation limits. The camel ride is part of the itinerary, so anyone who cannot ride should confirm the alternative transport with the operator. Desert nights can be cold, and winter temperatures in the Merzouga dunes drop below freezing, so pack layers even in the luxury camp.
Solo travellers should ask about a single supplement before booking, because none is published here. Cancellation is free up to 24 hours before departure, which is tighter than some listings that allow three days.

Getting There and What to Add
You start in Casablanca and end in Marrakech, so book a flight into one and out of the other, or add days either side.
Reaching Casablanca
Casablanca Mohammed V airport (CMN) is the entry point, and it is a busy one, serving 10,449,372 passengers in 2024. The driver meets you at Terminal 2, so the airport transfer is handled. Morocco's other main airports are Marrakesh Menara (RAK), Fez-Saiss (FEZ), Tangier Ibn Battouta (TNG) and Rabat-Sale (RBA), useful to know if you fly home from Marrakech instead of backtracking.
An hourly Al Bidaoui train runs from the airport from 04:00 to 23:00 if you arrive early and want to wait in the city rather than at the terminal.
Days to Add Before or After
The tour starts at the airport, so arriving a day early in Casablanca lets you see the Hassan II Mosque rested rather than jet-lagged. After Marrakech, many travellers add Essaouira, 176 km away and about 2 h 24 min by road, a coastal contrast to the medina. Read the guide to the best time to visit Morocco before fixing dates, and the page on whether Morocco is safe for the practical picture.
If you want more desert time than one night, the Merzouga guide covers the dune field, which stretches about 28 km north to south with dunes up to 150 m high, in depth.

Pros and Cons
An honest read of this listing against the others on the comparison.
What we genuinely like
- Fully private vehicle and English-speaking driver for all 11 days, so the pace is yours
- Included walking guides in five places, Chefchaouen, Volubilis, Meknes, Fes and Marrakech
- Luxury camp night and camel tour both inside the $2,518 price
- Breakfast and dinner daily across the whole route
- Free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure
- 5.0 rating from 23 verified reviews with no ratings below 5
The honest downsides
- Hotel class is not stated anywhere in the listing, unlike the luxury rival that names 4 to 5-star properties
- The Fes to desert leg runs about 457 km and around 7 hours of driving
- Lunch, drinks and tips are excluded, so a couple should budget extra for 11 days of midday meals
- The camp location is not stated, only that the tour crosses the Sahara after Fes
- Only 23 reviews back the 5.0 score, thin next to the 356 and 646 review counts on rival desert tours
Who it's NOT for: Not for travellers with limited leave, a fixed budget under $2,000, or anyone who needs a named hotel standard in writing before paying.
