Car Rental with Private Driver in Morocco on a nine-day tour that promotes responsible travel, immersing you in your surroundings while limiting your environmental footprint. Start in energetic Marrakesh, where you’ll see the city on a pikala—a bicycle-powered tour—and visit a nonprofit that helps underprivileged women. Then drive through argan tree forests, a region unique to this part of the country.
Arrive in Marrakesh
Discover Morocco’s sensuous beauty on this nine-day journey. Explore the four imperial cities that have seen ruling dynasties rise and fall, wandering medieval medinas like Fes’ UNESCO-listed labyrinth and visiting historic landmarks, including the Koutoubia Mosque, Saadien Tombs, and 16th-century Bahia Palace. See Roman history in Volubilis, trek through the High Atlas mountains, and adventure along ancient caravan routes.
Wake up early in Chefchaouen, an artsy blue-washed mountain town that feels like its own world. Snap unobstructed photos of its streets and sites without the crowds, then spend a day enjoying local culture, including the Spanish Mosque and Plaza Uta el-Hammam.
Journey to Rabat, where you can visit the Royal Palace and see the Chellah Necropolis before continuing west toward Meknes and the dramatic Todra Gorge. Pause at the “Valley of a Thousand Casbahs,” and discover Ait Ben Haddou, the famed mud-brick kasbah that’s a UNESCO World Heritage site. Arrive in Ouarzazate, Morocco’s Hollywood, where you can tour a movie studio.
Explore Marrakesh on a Pikala Tour
Get to know Marrakesh from an eco-friendly perspective on a pikala tour. This bike-powered sightseeing excursion allows you to explore the medina and see landmarks such as the Koutoubia Mosque, with a guide who supports the local community.
In the afternoon, board a private transfer to Essaouira. This picturesque coastal town is bright with white-washed walls and is one of Morocco’s UNESCO World Heritage sites. Here, you’ll stay at the L’Ane Vert ecolodge, located close to the beach and dedicated to ecological awareness.
During your time at the ecolodge, enjoy a visit to the Argan Tree Forests that make this area unique. These forests are home to the trees that produce the popular and useful Moroccan oil. You may even be able to spot goats eating the berries from these trees! Return to the city for dinner at Jemaa el-Fna Square, a bustling hub of historic culture and entertainment. Your driver will then take you to the airport for your flight home.
Drive Through Argan Tree Forests
A stunning drive over the High Atlas Mountains leads to the laid-back beach town of Essaouira. Along the way, pass argan tree forests whose unique trees produce the nuts used for Morocco’s prized argan oil. If you’re lucky, you might see goats clinging to the trees! You can also stop at a local women’s argan cooperative to learn about the production process.
Visit the 19th century Bahia Palace and the Jardin Majorelle (designed by Yves Saint Laurent). Be sure to look in the eyes of anyone who tries to sell you anything, and always negotiate prices! It’s easy to get distracted in the Medina maze and get lost, so hire a walking guide through your accommodations if you need one.
Head out of town to Volubilis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring Morocco’s best-preserved Roman ruins. You’ll then visit Ait Ben Haddou, the largest kasbah in Morocco and a filming location for Game of Thrones.
