Hi Simonatommy ,


I think it's better



Day 1 Tangier - Tetouan – Chefchaouen

Day 2 Chefchaouen – Volubilis – Meknes – Fes

Day 3 : Fes-fes

Day 4 Fes – Ifrane – Midelt – Erfoud – Merzouga

Day 5 Merzouga – Todra Gorge – Dades Gorge

Day 6 Dades valley – Rose valley – Ouarzatte – Ait Ben Haddou – Marrakesh

Day 7 Transfer to the airport

But it is better to have one more day in Marrakech to visit it

And I advice you look for some agency that can do this trip for you because it is not easy to drive in Morocco

I would leave Marrakech until last then you will be more used to Moroccan ways and better able to handle the hubbub.

But the daylight hours are short in January and I'm a bit concerned with your first two days. Are you planning to stop and visit Tetouan? If so you probably won't arrive at Chefchaouen until dusk and it can be a really cold place in January without the sun to warm things. And then the next day you are off again on a 4.5 hour drive to Fez.

Personally I would forget Chefchaouen and just get the train from Tanger to Fez then use the day you have saved somewhere else. Plus you are then only looking at three days with a tour company which will save considerable amount of money.

Hello Simonatommy ,

I like your program If possible, tell me the name of this company with what are you going to do this trip

thank you very much

That sounds ridiculously rushed. When are you going to have time to see anything except out of a car window, aside from Fez?

I smell a skunk with this one--as in, it is just a set-up so the OP can give the name of the traveler company. A one time OP post, and then two one-time poster answers. Hmmmm...
