Overview
For golfers who want to play Morocco properly, the 12 Days Golf Tour From Marrakech is the most generous itinerary in the series, with up to seven rounds across the country’s finest courses and the full journey of the south in between. Two days in Marrakech combine golf, a guided city tour and a sunset in the stony Agafay Desert, before the road crosses the High Atlas to Ait Ben Haddou, the Dades Gorges and a night in the dunes of Erg Chebbi.

Itinerary
Day 1
Arrival in Marrakech ⇢ Hotel Transfer
Twelve days of golf and discovery begin at Marrakech Menara Airport, where a private driver collects you and your clubs for the start of the 12 Days Golf Tour From Marrakech. The rest of the day is free.
In the evening, Jemaa el-Fnaa fills with musicians, storytellers and food stalls.
Day 2
Morning Golf ⇢ Marrakech City Tour
The first round begins in the cool of the morning, among palm trees with the snow-capped High Atlas on the horizon. 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
Morning Golf ⇢ Agafay Desert Sunset
A second morning round, on a different Marrakech course among olive groves, is followed by a relaxed afternoon. Just 40 km from the city, the Agafay Desert is a stony landscape of ochre hills facing the Atlas, where you can enjoy mint tea, an optional camel ride and a spectacular sunset before returning to Marrakech.
Day 4
Marrakech ⇢ Tizi n'Tichka ⇢ Ait Ben Haddou ⇢ Ouarzazate
The road climbs to the Tizi n’Tichka pass at 2,260 m before descending to Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO-listed ksar of mud-brick towers seen in Gladiator. The day ends in Ouarzazate, the gateway to the Sahara.
Day 5
Ouarzazate ⇢ Skoura ⇢ Valley of Roses ⇢ Dades Gorges
The Road of a Thousand Kasbahs leads through the Skoura palm oasis and the Valley of Roses to the Dades Gorges, where red cliffs and rock formations glow in the evening light.
Day 6
Dades ⇢ Todra Gorge ⇢ Merzouga ⇢ Desert Camp
Morning brings Todra Gorge, where limestone walls rise up to 300 m above a clear stream. In the afternoon, a camel caravan carries you into the dunes of Erg Chebbi for sunset, followed by dinner, Berber drums and a night in a desert camp, a highlight of this Morocco golf and desert tour.
Day 7
Merzouga ⇢ Ziz Valley ⇢ Midelt
After sunrise over the dunes, the road heads north along the palm-filled Ziz Valley and through the dramatic Ziz Gorges to Midelt, a quiet mountain town beneath Jbel Ayachi, for a restful night after the desert.
Day 8
Midelt ⇢ Ifrane ⇢ Afternoon Golf ⇢ Fes
The road climbs into the Middle Atlas to Ifrane, where an afternoon round at around 1,600 m above sea level, among cedars and oaks, offers fresh mountain air. In the evening, the road descends to Fes for two nights.
Day 9
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 at the Chouara Tannery.
Day 10
Fes Morning Golf ⇢ Meknes ⇢ Volubilis ⇢ Rabat
A second early round in Fes is followed by the drive to Meknes, with its tiled Bab Mansour gate, and to Volubilis, where Roman mosaics and the Triumphal Arch of Caracalla stand among olive groves. The day ends in Rabat on the Atlantic.
Day 11
Rabat City Tour ⇢ Afternoon Golf
The morning explores the royal capital: the Hassan Tower, the Mausoleum of Mohammed V and the blue-and-white lanes of the Kasbah of the Udayas. In the afternoon, play 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, the jewel of this Morocco golf tour of the imperial cities.
Day 12
Rabat ⇢ Casablanca ⇢ Golf or Hassan II Mosque ⇢ Departure
The road leads to Casablanca, where the final morning offers a last round on a coastal course near the city or a guided visit of the Hassan II Mosque, built partly over the ocean with a 210 m minaret. The tour ends at Mohammed V International Airport for your flight home.
