Overview
Morocco has some of the finest and most varied golf in Africa, and the 10 Days Golf Tour From Marrakech plays it across four regions: the palm-lined courses of Marrakech, the cedar-framed fairways of Ifrane in the Middle Atlas, the hills around Fes, and the royal courses of Rabat. Between the rounds lies the grand journey of the south, from Ait Ben Haddou and the Dades Gorges to a night in the dunes of Erg Chebbi.
After the desert, this golf tour from Marrakech to Casablanca follows the imperial route north through Fes, Meknes and the Roman ruins of Volubilis to the Atlantic capital of Rabat, before ending in Casablanca. With up to four rounds and every great landscape of the country, it is a complete Morocco golf and imperial cities holiday.

Itinerary
Day 1
Arrival in Marrakech ⇢ Hotel Transfer
Menara Airport is the first tee of the 10 Days Golf Tour From Marrakech, where a private driver collects you and your clubs for the short drive to your hotel. The rest of the day is free.
In the evening, Jemaa el-Fnaa fills with musicians, storytellers and food stalls beneath the Koutoubia minaret.
Day 2
Morning Golf ⇢ Marrakech City Tour
An early round among palm and olive trees, with the white summits of the High Atlas on the horizon, opens the week. In the afternoon, a licensed guide leads you to the Koutoubia Mosque, the Bahia Palace, the Saadian Tombs and the souks of the medina.
Day 3
Marrakech ⇢ Tizi n'Tichka ⇢ Ait Ben Haddou ⇢ Ouarzazate
The road climbs to the Tizi n’Tichka pass at 2,260 m, Morocco’s highest paved road, before descending to Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO-listed ksar of mud-brick towers on the old caravan route. The day ends in Ouarzazate, the gateway to the Sahara.
Day 4
Ouarzazate ⇢ Skoura ⇢ Valley of Roses ⇢ Dades Gorges
The Road of a Thousand Kasbahs leads through the Skoura palm oasis and the Valley of Roses, where Damask roses are distilled into rose water. In the afternoon, the road enters the Dades Gorges, where red cliffs glow in the evening light.
Day 5
Dades ⇢ Todra Gorge ⇢ Merzouga ⇢ Desert Camp
Morning brings Todra Gorge, where limestone walls rise up to 300 m above a clear stream. The road then crosses the hamada to Merzouga, where a camel caravan carries you into the dunes of Erg Chebbi for sunset, dinner and a night in a desert camp.
Day 6
Merzouga ⇢ Ziz Valley ⇢ Midelt ⇢ Ifrane
After sunrise over the dunes, the road heads north along the palm-filled Ziz Valley and through the Ziz Gorges to Midelt, Morocco’s apple capital. The afternoon climbs into the Middle Atlas to Ifrane, the “Switzerland of Morocco”, for a cool night in the mountains.
Day 7
Morning Golf ⇢ Ifrane ⇢ Cedar Forest ⇢ Fes
At about 1,600 m above sea level, golf in Ifrane feels like a round in the Alps, with fresh air and fairways framed by cedar and oak. After the round, a walk in the Azrou cedar forest brings you close to wild Barbary macaques, before the road descends to Fes for two nights.
Day 8
Morning Golf ⇢ Fes City Tour
A morning round on a course in the hills around Fes is followed by a guided afternoon in Fes el-Bali, the world’s largest car-free medieval city. Visit the Bou Inania Madrasa, pass the Al Quaraouiyine, founded in 859, and watch leather dyed in stone vats at the Chouara Tannery, a highlight of this Morocco golf and imperial cities tour.
Day 9
Fes ⇢ Meknes ⇢ Volubilis ⇢ Rabat
In Meknes, the imperial city of Moulay Ismail, admire the tiled Bab Mansour gate and the royal granaries. Nearby, Volubilis preserves Roman mosaics and the Triumphal Arch of Caracalla among olive groves.
The road then reaches the Atlantic at Rabat, the royal capital, for the night.
Day 10
Morning Golf or Rabat City Tour ⇢ Casablanca ⇢ Departure
The final morning of this golf tour from Marrakech to Casablanca offers a choice: a round at the Royal Golf Dar Es Salam, designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. in a forest of cork oaks and home of the Hassan II Trophy, or a guided visit of the Hassan Tower, the Mausoleum of Mohammed V and the Kasbah of the Udayas.
The road then leads to Casablanca, about an hour away, for your departure from Mohammed V International Airport.
