2 Weeks in Morocco: The Ultimate 14-Day Itinerary (2026)
Quick answer
Two weeks in Morocco lets you see almost everything at a relaxed pace: 3 days in Marrakech with Atlas day trips, 4 days through Ait Benhaddou, the Dades and Todra gorges to two nights in Merzouga, 3 days in Fes with Meknes and Volubilis, 2 days in Chefchaouen, then Rabat, Casablanca and 2 final days in Essaouira.
Fourteen days is the dream length for Morocco: you can follow the classic loop and still have afternoons with nothing planned.
Week 1 — Marrakech, the Atlas and the Sahara
- Days 1–3: Marrakech. Medina, palaces, gardens, hammam and an Imlil day trip.
- Day 4: Tichka pass, Ait Benhaddou, Ouarzazate, night in the Dades valley.
- Day 5: Todra gorge walk, arrival in Merzouga, camel trek and desert camp.
- Day 6: free day around the dunes — read things to do in Merzouga.
- Day 7: Ziz valley, Midelt and the Middle Atlas cedars to Fes.
The 4-day Sahara tour covers days 4–7 with two desert nights (ending in Marrakech), or choose the one-way route to Fes.
Week 2 — Imperial cities, the north and the coast
- Day 8: Fes. Guided medina tour — see the Fes travel guide.
- Day 9: Meknes and Volubilis. Roman mosaics and Moulay Ismail's capital.
- Days 10–11: Chefchaouen. Blue alleys and a hike to the Akchour waterfalls.
- Day 12: Rabat and Casablanca. Kasbah of the Udayas and the Hassan II Mosque.
- Days 13–14: Essaouira. Ocean, seafood and a last sunset before flying home from Marrakech.
