Tangier's Coastal Wonders & Chefchaouen Blue City
Your Moroccan adventure begins in Tangier, the legendary port city perched at Africa's northern tip. After meeting your driver-guide, explore the dramatic coastal landmarks that have captivated travelers for centuries.
Visit Cap Spartel, where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic, marked by a historic lighthouse. Continue to the mythical Caves of Hercules, where legend says the Greek hero rested. The cave's Africa-shaped opening creates an unforgettable photo opportunity.
Enjoy a brief walking tour through Tangier's medina before ascending into the Rif Mountains. The landscape transforms from coastal plains to forested hillsides dotted with Berber villages. Arrive in Chefchaouen by late afternoon, with time to witness the magical blue-washed streets as evening light creates enchanting shadows on the azure walls.
Chefchaouen to Imperial Fes
After a morning exploring Chefchaouen's enchanting blue medina, visit the Kasbah Museum and the lively Outa el Hammam square, bid farewell to the Blue Pearl and begin your journey south to Fes.
Travel through the Oued Laou valley, where fertile plains and traditional farming villages showcase rural Moroccan life. Continue through the Rif foothills as the landscape gradually transforms, giving way to the expansive Saïss plain.
Arrive in Fes by early afternoon and begin your introduction to Morocco's spiritual capital. Visit the Borj Nord fortress for panoramic views over Fes el-Bali, the world's largest living medieval medina. Marvel at the sea of green-tiled roofs and towering minarets. Visit a traditional pottery cooperative to witness the creation of Fes's famous blue ceramics before settling into your riad.
Fes Medina Discovery & Journey to Desert
Begin with a morning exploration of Fes el-Bali's highlights. Visit the magnificent Bab Boujloud (Blue Gate) and the stunning Al-Attarine Madrasa, a masterpiece of Marinid architecture with intricate zellige tilework and carved cedar. Witness the famous Chouara Tannery, where leather has been processed using traditional methods for over a thousand years.
After lunch, depart for the Sahara Desert. Travel south through the Middle Atlas Mountains, stopping in Ifrane, "Little Switzerland," and the Cèdre Gouraud Forest, where ancient cedar trees provide habitat for Barbary macaques.
Continue through Midelt as the landscape becomes increasingly arid, transforming into desert moonscape. Arrive in Merzouga by late afternoon, gateway to the magnificent Erg Chebbi dunes. Meet your camel caravan and trek into the dunes for sunset, arriving at your luxury desert camp for dinner under the stars.
Sahara Sunrise & Dades Valley
Rise early for the magical Sahara sunrise, watching dawn paint the dunes in brilliant gold and rose colors. After breakfast at camp, bid farewell to your camel companions and begin your journey west.
Travel through the spectacular Ziz Valley, one of Morocco's most impressive palm groves where over 2 million date palms create a lush ribbon through the arid landscape. Continue along the famous Road of a Thousand Kasbahs, winding through the Dades Valley with its dramatic rock formations known as "monkey fingers."
Visit Kasbah Amridil in Skoura oasis, a beautifully preserved 17th-century fortress. Continue through the Valley of Roses, where Damascus roses are cultivated for the cosmetic industry. Arrive in the dramatic Dades Gorge by evening, where red rock walls tower above the winding river.
Todra Gorge & Ait Benhaddou
After breakfast, travel to the spectacular Todra Gorge, where towering limestone cliffs rise 300 meters on either side of a narrow river. Walk through the gorge, feeling dwarfed by the massive rock walls that attract climbers worldwide.
Continue west through the Dades Valley toward Ouarzazate, Morocco's film capital. En route, enjoy the dramatic landscapes of the Atlas foothills. Stop in Ouarzazate for lunch and an optional visit to Atlas Studios, where films like Gladiator were produced.
Continue to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ait Benhaddou, Morocco's most famous kasbah. This fortified village, built from adobe and clay, has served as a backdrop for countless films. Climb to the top for panoramic views over the Ounila Valley as the setting sun paints the ancient walls golden.
High Atlas Crossing to Marrakech

Stop at panoramic viewpoints to capture the dramatic scenery and visit a traditional argan oil cooperative, where Berber women demonstrate the ancient process of extracting oil from argan nuts. Sample culinary and cosmetic argan products.
Descend from the mountains as the landscape transforms into the fertile Haouz plain. Arrive in Marrakech by early afternoon, the legendary Red City. Your tour concludes with drop-off at your riad, leaving you perfectly positioned to explore Marrakech's famous Jemaa el-Fnaa square and vibrant souks.

Why Travelers Love OPDM
Trusted by travelers from around the world
“Nous les avons engagés pour nous ramener à Tanger avec nos 2 vélos au terme d'un grande traversée cyclotouriste de Tanger à Mhamid. Ce n'est pas donné mais le service est hyper professionnel : communication fluide, adaptabilité (on a changé l'itinéraire quelques jours avant pour le fractionner en 2 étapes à une semaine d'intervalle), chauffeurs ponctuels et prudents, véhicule en parfait état...A recommander sans restriction.”
“Shakib was a great driver, made every journey amazing!”
“I used this agency for intercity travel during my 9-day trip to Morocco. I selected this agency after comparing it with others because communication was quick and efficient. Tangier-Casablanca Casablanca-Marrakech Fez-Chefchaouen Chefchaouen-Tangier-Mer Port As a family of seven, I was worried about transportation, but thanks to this agency, we were able to travel comfortably and safely. The drivers arrived on time, were well-mannered, and communicated in English, which was great. I highly recommend them.”
“We used Official Morocco Private Driver for three different legs of our trip through Morocco — Casablanca to Fez, Fez to Chefchaouen, and Chefchaouen to Tangier — and the experience was excellent from start to finish. We were a group of seven travelling together (six adults and one child), with ages ranging from 2 to over 80, so coordinating transportation could have been stressful. This company made everything incredibly easy. Communication through WhatsApp was prompt and organized the entire time. There was always someone available to answer questions, confirm details, and make sure we had everything we needed. The vehicles were clean, comfortable, and spacious enough for both our group and all of our luggage. I had requested a baby car seat for every transfer, and it was always there without fail, which we really appreciated. All of the drivers were polite, punctual, helpful, and safe drivers. Along the way they offered recommendations for places to stop for lunch and helped make the longer travel days much more enjoyable and relaxed. Overall, this service removed so much of the stress from planning transportation logistics for a large family group. We would absolutely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone travelling through Morocco.”
“Very pleasant man that drives very well ! Also in the mountains (Atlas) no problems with getting sick: smootyh driving.”
“We relied on this company for our week-long tour of the imperial cities. From the first contact, the company stood out for its efficiency and courtesy. A heartfelt thanks to our driver, Mr. Ali, who, with his impeccable work, kindness, and great professionalism, managed to connect Casablanca, Marrakech, Fez, Meknes, and Rabat with the attention you'd give a family member or dear friend. Thank you so much!”
“We had Shakib as our private driver for our trip and he was the best ever. He provided a level of service that was truly exceptional and one of a kind! He is so genuine, kind and pure hearted, and wanted to ensure everyone had a great time. He was punctual to every single event on our itinerary and did everything with a smile! Even helping us with tasks outside of just transport, where we would need the knowledge of a local, he went above and beyond to ensure our trip ran smoothly. Anyone who manages to have Shakib as a driver is so lucky and I will always recommend him to anyone coming to Marrakech”
“I had an absolutely incredible experience in Morocco (Marrakech), and a huge part of that was thanks to Chakib, my private driver and personal tour guide. From start to finish, he was nothing short of spectacular. His knowledge of the area was outstanding—he didn’t just take me to places, he brought them to life with stories, history, and local insight that made everything more meaningful. Beyond that, his personality made the entire trip even better. He was friendly, professional, and genuinely cared about making sure I had the best experience possible. What really stood out was how comfortable and at ease he made me feel. It felt less like a service and more like traveling with a friend who truly wanted me to enjoy every moment. He went above and beyond in every way. If you’re planning a trip to Morocco, I can’t recommend Chakib enough. He turned a great trip into an unforgettable one.”
“Great service. We had three different trips and all very responsive and made sure all connections were super smooth.”
“We (3 couples) used this service for a 13 day trip from Rabat to Marrakech to Skoura. The Sprinter was clean, new and comfortable. We were glad that we had use of the vehicle for the entire trip and not point to point. The cost was very reasonable. Chakib was our driver and guide. He was wonderful and very helpful. He was always at our service and very helpful. We recommend Chakib and this service without reservation.”
“Abdul was sensational. We couldn’t have asked for better: very patent, resourceful and always ensured our safety was his priority. When coming back,”
“Abdul was a fantastic driver and guide. He was always punctual and gave great recommendations for places to visit, as well as arranging excursions for us. We will be booking with him again on our next trip!”
“This is a very professional service. I recommend it for group travel. The communication was excellent right from the beginning and our itinerary went to plan all 4 days. Abdul our driver had great recommendations from Quad biking to dinner restaurants. He knows it all- very reliable. We felt safe and well taken care of. The Sprinter was clean, comfortable and fully air conditioned. I never really leave reviews but for this service I had to. The customer service we received made our days even more memorable. Thank you once again”
“Outstanding experience. Chakib was our Chauffeur, guide & friend. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽”
“Amazing experience. Our driver Ali was very personable, kind, and a very safe driver. Van was in great condition. Can highly recommend. Easy to work with their office to plan our itinerary.”
“I booked a transfer from Fes to Rabat. Online booking was clear and easy, and communications with the owner by WhatsApp prior to the transfer were timely and helpful. The English-speaking driver, Khalid, arrived punctually to meet me at my hotel in Fes, and I felt safe and comfortable in his car. He was polite and professional, and I liked the fact that he did not have any music or radio playing during the journey. The overall price seemed very reasonable. Therefore I highly recommend this company.”
“We used this service for a round trip between Agadir and Marrakech. We had two different drivers, both excellent. Professional, friendly and attentive, they gave us information about the country and tips on local attractions to discover. Communication was done via WhatsApp, from booking to return. Once payment is received, a driver is assigned to you and you can communicate directly with them. Water is provided and the vehicle has Wi-Fi. Overall, a very positive and excellent experience. We highly recommend this service to our loved ones. Thank you very much!”
“Exceptional experience. Chakib was our driver, our guide and a friend.”
“Chakib was more like a host than a chauffeur for us during our Morocco trip. He took care of all our requirements and was very courteous right through.”

Our driver was courteous, patient and knowledgeable, making our travels between cities smooth and stress-free. Even when faced with unexpected situations, he remained calm, accommodating and attentive to our comfort and safety. If you are looking for reliable, high-quality private transportation in Morocco, I highly recommend this team. I will undoubtedly use their services again.”
