From the Atlantic skyline of Casablanca to a night in a Berber camp among the Merzouga dunes, the Authentic Morocco 10-Day Tour by Show Me Morocco brings together Morocco’s cities, desert, flavors and village life in one carefully planned journey.
Ten days that show you Morocco as it is lived
This tour links the country’s best-known destinations into one journey. You see grand architecture and busy souks, then trade the city for open desert, then spend time with the people who keep Morocco’s crafts, farms and kitchens running.
Show Me Morocco is a boutique tour operator based in Morocco. Its local team plans every trip around adventure, culture and community, so the days feel connected to the places you pass through and not like a checklist of stops.
Cities, dunes, tables and villages: four sides of Morocco in a single itinerary.
Casablanca and Marrakech: explore vibrant cities and historic sites
Hassan II Mosque
Your journey begins at one of the largest mosques in the world. It stands on the Atlantic shore, was completed in 1993, and its minaret rises about 210 metres, one of the tallest in the world. Casablanca also shows you modern Morocco: Art Deco avenues, a working port and a lively café culture.
Souks, palaces and Jemaa el-Fnaa
Marrakech’s medina is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wander the souks for spices, leather and lanterns, step into historic palaces, and finish at Jemaa el-Fnaa, the great square that fills each evening with food stalls, musicians and storytellers.
Each city shows a different side of Morocco’s past and present, and your guide explains what you are looking at, which streets are worth getting lost in, and when to visit to avoid the crowds.
Experience the Sahara: a night in the dunes of Merzouga
No visit to Morocco feels complete without the Sahara. Near Merzouga, the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi rise to around 150 metres in places. You ride a camel across the sand toward a traditional Berber camp, watch the sunset change the color of the whole landscape, and sleep under a sky with far more stars than any city allows.
- Camel trek into the dunes at golden hour
- Dinner and a night in a traditional Berber camp
- Sunset and, for early risers, sunrise over the sand
- Quiet, wide-open space after the energy of the cities
Desert nights cool down quickly, especially from late autumn to early spring, so pack a warm layer and a scarf for the evening.
Delight in Moroccan cuisine
Meals are part of the journey. Expect slow-cooked tagines scented with preserved lemon, saffron and olives, couscous served the traditional way, hearty harira soup, and sweet mint tea poured from a height at every opportunity. The meals are prepared by skilled cooks who take pride in their recipes.
If you have dietary needs or allergies, mention them when you contact Show Me Morocco so they can be discussed before you travel.
Engage with local culture
One of the best parts of this tour is time spent with local communities. You visit traditional villages, watch artisans shape metal, leather, pottery and wool by hand, and hear farmers describe how they work the land. These meetings give you a fuller picture of Morocco’s Amazigh (Berber) and Arab heritage than monuments alone can.
Show Me Morocco promotes responsible and sustainable travel. Your visit supports the communities you meet and helps protect the landscapes you came to see.
Extend it, combine it, or choose another route
Every Show Me Morocco trip can be customized. If you want a different length, more time in the desert, or a stop in Fes or Chefchaouen, these tours are good starting points.

Good to know before you go
Best seasons
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) bring warm days and comfortable nights in both the cities and the desert. Summer is very hot inland, and winter nights in the Sahara are cold.
What to pack
Light, breathable clothing, a warm layer for the evenings, comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen, a hat and a scarf for the dunes. A small overnight bag is handy for the camp night.
Etiquette
Dress modestly in medinas and villages, ask before photographing people, and expect friendly bargaining in the souks. A few words of Arabic or French are always appreciated.
Money
The local currency is the Moroccan dirham. Carry some cash for souks, snacks and tips, since small vendors and rural areas often do not accept cards.
