Departing from Casablanca

A two-day private tour from Casablanca to Marrakech is one of the most popular short routes in Morocco — the 240km journey by private vehicle takes around three hours, leaving most of the day for sightseeing. Your driver-guide collects you from your Casablanca hotel or Mohamed V International Airport, giving you flexibility whether you’ve just arrived in Morocco or are heading south at the end of a northern circuit.

The Casablanca departure adds a first chapter that pure Marrakech bookings miss: the Hassan II Mosque — the largest mosque in Africa and one of the few in Morocco open to non-Muslims — the Art Deco Corniche, and the contrasting colonial and modern districts of the White City. The road south runs via Settat and Benguerir through flat agricultural plains before the Atlas foothills signal the approach to Marrakech.

Arriving in Marrakech mid-afternoon gives you enough time to enter the medina before sunset. Your private driver-guide will accompany you for a walking introduction to Djemaa el-Fna, the souks and the Koutoubia Mosque before your overnight in a hand-picked riad. Return the following day to Casablanca, or extend your route south to the desert or coast. Request a quote to tailor the itinerary.
