12-Day Egypt and Morocco Vacation 2026 — Nile Cruise, Tangier & the Blue City

Egypt and Morocco are the two great civilizational anchors of North Africa — and the single flight that links Cairo to Casablanca (approximately 5 hours 30 minutes direct, no European stopover) makes combining them one of the most rewarding two-country itineraries on earth. Egypt gives you 4,500 years of Pharaonic civilisation: the Pyramids of Giza, the Grand Egyptian Museum with Tutankhamun’s complete 5,398-artefact collection, and a 3-night Nile cruise covering the Valley of the Kings, Karnak, Edfu, Kom Ombo, and Philae. Morocco gives you the Atlantic sophistication of Casablanca and the medieval spiritual world of Fez — the city whose Al-Qarawiyyin University (founded 859 AD) predates Cairo’s Al-Azhar (970 AD) by a century and is the oldest continuously operating university on earth. Together, they connect the two ends of Islamic civilization’s golden age in a single itinerary.

Egypt For Travel operates this tour fully privately in Egypt (licensed Egyptologist guide, private vehicle) and with local expert English-speaking guides in Morocco, under Egyptian Tourism Authority Licence Category A No. 1947.

Why Egypt and Morocco Work Better Together Than as Two Separate Trips

Most travelers discover that Egypt and Morocco, despite being 4,000 km apart, feel like two chapters of the same story rather than two unconnected destinations. Both countries carry the legacy of medieval Arab-Islamic civilization at their core — Cairo’s Khan El-Khalili and Fez’s Medina are the two greatest surviving medieval Islamic markets on earth, both dating to the Fatimid era. The two cities’ great universities — Al-Azhar in Cairo (970 AD) and Al-Qarawiyyin in Fez (859 AD) — still anchor their respective medinas, making a visit to Fez the only way to understand what Cairo’s Islamic quarter was the other half of. They are connected by the Sahara that runs between them, and by the EgyptAir and Royal Air Maroc direct flights that get you from one to the other in around 5.5 hours.

How This 11-Day Tour Compares to the Other Egypt & Morocco Programs

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need separate visas for Egypt and Morocco?

Yes. Egypt: $25 e-visa online or on arrival at Cairo Airport. Morocco: most Western nationalities (UK, USA, EU, Canada, Australia) do not require a visa for Morocco for stays up to 90 days — check our Egypt Visa Guide 2026 for your specific nationality.

What is the best time of year for this Egypt and Morocco tour?

October to April suits both countries — Egypt at 20–26°C and Morocco at 15–22°C. March and April are especially good: Egyptian light is extraordinary, and Morocco’s mountain routes from Fez toward Volubilis are carpeted in wildflowers. See our Best Time to Visit Egypt guide for month-by-month detail.

Is the Hassan II Mosque interior included?

The mosque exterior is included on both Days 7 and 10. The interior guided tour ($15 per person) is excluded from the standard price — it is optional and can be arranged through your local guide at the time of the visit. Egypt For Travel recommends doing it if the group arrives on time for a scheduled guided entry (09:00, 10:00, 11:00, or 14:00).

What cruise ship is used on this tour?

Standard tier: Radamis II Princess Du Nil. Deluxe tier: MS Nile Premium. Both operate full board on the cruise days.

What is a riad and will I stay in one?

A riad is a traditional Moroccan house built around an interior courtyard — the architectural form specific to the medinas of Fez and Marrakech. Deluxe tier accommodation in Morocco includes boutique riads in Fez, providing the authentic medina experience rather than a standard hotel room. Standard tier uses well-rated city hotels.

The 14-Day Egypt Morocco Tour is Egypt For Travel’s most complete two-country itinerary for travelers who want to see both destinations properly. In Egypt: the Pyramids of Giza, the Grand Egyptian Museum, and a full 3-night Nile cruise from Aswan through Philae, Kom Ombo, Edfu, the Valley of the Kings, and Karnak Temple. In Morocco: the complete imperial cities circuit — Casablanca and the Hassan II Mosque, Rabat the political capital, Meknes with its Ismailia gates, the Roman ruins of Volubilis, Fez with its Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and the largest medieval medina in the world, and Marrakech with the Djemaa El-Fna, the Bahia Palace, and the Majorelle Garden.

Fourteen days covers both countries without skipping anything that matters. The Egypt leg includes everything in the 11-day version, and the Morocco leg visits all four imperial cities rather than just two or three. This is the itinerary Egypt For Travel recommends to travelers who have two weeks and don’t want to choose between Fez and Marrakech. The Egypt portion runs fully privately (licensed Egyptologist, private vehicle) under ETA Licence Category A No. 1947.

The Morocco Imperial Cities Circuit — What Makes Fez Different from Marrakech

The four Moroccan imperial cities — Casablanca, Rabat, Fez, and Marrakech — are connected by history and the pre-colonial Sultanate, but they operate completely differently as travel experiences. Casablanca is Morocco’s economic capital — cosmopolitan, French-influenced, and home to the Hassan II Mosque, the third-largest mosque on earth. Rabat is the modern political capital — quieter, more manageable, with the Mohammed V Mausoleum as its visual centerpiece. Fez is the spiritual and intellectual capital — the largest car-free medieval medina in the world, the Al-Qarawiyyin University still functioning after 11 centuries, the tanneries still using methods unchanged since the 13th century. Marrakech is the sensory capital — the Djemaa El-Fna at sunset, the Bahia Palace’s tilework and courtyard gardens, the souks that run day and night. The 14-day tour is the only Egypt & Morocco itinerary in our catalog that visits all four rather than selecting two.

How This Compares to the Other Egypt & Morocco Programs

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Day 11 drive from Fez to Marrakech rather than fly?

The route from Fez to Marrakech by road passes through the Berber villages of Imouzer and Ifrane — a mountain town so Swiss in appearance (pine forests, red-roofed chalets, resident Barbary macaques) that it is literally nicknamed "the Switzerland of Morocco." The drive is a 5–6 hour journey through some of Morocco’s most visually dramatic landscape: the Middle Atlas Mountains. A direct flight would skip all of it. Egypt For Travel schedules an optional lunch stop in Beni Mellal and arrival in Marrakech by late afternoon for dinner at leisure.

Does this tour include the Volubilis Roman ruins?

Yes — Day 9 passes through Volubilis on the way from Meknes to Fez. Volubilis is a UNESCO World Heritage Site: the best-preserved Roman colonial city in North Africa, with intact mosaic floors, triumphal arch, and forum visible from the moment you walk in. The site is typically uncrowded and remarkable in the same way that Egypt’s lesser-known temple sites are remarkable — you walk through an ancient city, largely alone.

What Nile cruise ship does this tour use?

Standard tier: MS Nile Premium. Deluxe tier: MS Mayfair. Both operate full board on the cruise days. Further upgrades available on request.

Do I need visas for Egypt and Morocco?

Egypt: $25 e-visa or on arrival. Morocco: most Western nationalities enter visa-free for stays up to 90 days. See our Egypt Visa Guide 2026.

Book the 14-Day Egypt Morocco Tour — the only itinerary that visits all four Moroccan imperial cities and the full Egypt Nile circuit in one privately guided trip. Standard from $2,599 per person (triple, May–Sep).

The 15-Day Trip to Morocco and Egypt is the most complete version of this two-country combination Egypt For Travel offers. Eight days in Egypt covers the full circuit — the Pyramids of Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo, the twin temples of Abu Simbel in the far south, and a full Nile cruise from Aswan through Philae, Kom Ombo, Edfu, the Valley of the Kings, and Karnak. Seven days in Morocco covers the complete imperial cities circuit — Casablanca, Rabat, Meknes, Fez, and Marrakech — plus a stop that no other Egypt-Morocco itinerary includes: Bin El Ouidane.

Bin El Ouidane is a reservoir town in the Middle Atlas Mountains, roughly 150km southeast of Casablanca, set against a dramatic backdrop of red rock cliffs and Mediterranean vegetation. It’s the kind of place that doesn’t appear on most Morocco tour lists precisely because it’s not a city or a monument — it’s a mountain landscape overnight, a change of pace between the intellectual density of Fez and the sensory overload of Marrakech. This 15-day itinerary is built for travelers who want to experience both the full historical weight of Egypt and Morocco and the parts of Morocco that most tour operators never show. The Egypt leg runs fully privately (licensed Egyptologist, private vehicle) under ETA Licence Category A No. 1947.

Entrance Fees 2026 — Included in Your Tour Price

Two Unique Inclusions No Other Egypt-Morocco Tour Offers

1. Bin El Ouidane, Middle Atlas Mountains — Day 12 of this itinerary is a full overnight in the Middle Atlas at Bin El Ouidane, a reservoir set between red rock cliffs and pine-cedar forest above 1,000 metres altitude. There are no monuments, no guides, no itinerary — just a dramatic mountain landscape that gives genuine rest between the intellectual weight of Fez and the sensory intensity of Marrakech. No other Egypt-Morocco combined tour we’re aware of includes this stop. It suits travelers who want Morocco’s interior as well as its imperial cities.

2. Dar Soukkar Dinner with Animation, Marrakech — On Day 13, dinner is at Dar Soukkar, a 17th-century riad in the Marrakech Medina converted into one of the city’s most celebrated dining venues, with Gnawa musicians, Berber dancers, and a Moroccan feast in a torchlit courtyard. This is not a tourist dinner show — Dar Soukkar is where Marrakech hosts its own special occasions. The experience is included in the program price and has been Egypt For Travel’s most consistently reviewed Morocco moment by returning guests.

How This 15-Day Tour Fits the Full Morocco-Egypt Range

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Bin El Ouidane and why is it on this itinerary?

Bin El Ouidane is a reservoir and small town in Morocco’s Middle Atlas Mountains, created by the construction of the Bin El Ouidane Dam in the 1950s. The surrounding landscape — turquoise-blue water in a canyon of red rock and cedar forest at over 1,000m altitude — is one of Morocco’s most striking non-urban environments. Egypt For Travel includes it on this itinerary as a deliberate breathing space between Fez and Marrakech: a day and overnight in natural scenery before the final push of Marrakech’s medina, souks, and monuments.

Is the Dar Soukkar dinner really included?

Yes — it is listed under Inclusions and confirmed as part of the standard program price. Dar Soukkar is one of Marrakech’s most celebrated historic riad dining venues, with Gnawa musicians and Berber entertainment. It is included on Day 13 as the evening activity after the day’s sightseeing.

Does this include Abu Simbel?

Yes — Day 4 is dedicated to a private excursion to the Abu Simbel Temples from Aswan before Nile cruise embarkation. At 822 EGP (~$17), this is one of the most significant entrance fees in Egypt — and it’s included. Not every Egypt-Morocco itinerary includes Abu Simbel; the shorter 11-day and 14-day versions do not.

Do I need visas for Egypt and Morocco?

Egypt: $25 e-visa or on arrival. Morocco: most Western nationalities enter visa-free for up to 90 days. See our Egypt Visa Guide 2026 for your specific nationality.

Book your 15-Day Morocco and Egypt Tour — the most complete Egypt-Morocco itinerary with Abu Simbel, Bin El Ouidane & Dar Soukkar dinner included. From $3,199 per person (triple, May–Sep).

The 8-Day Egypt and Morocco Tour is Egypt For Travel’s most efficient combined itinerary for the two countries: two full days in Cairo (including the Pyramids of Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum), a 3-night Nile cruise covering the Valley of the Kings, Karnak, Edfu, Kom Ombo, and Philae, followed by two days in Morocco including Casablanca’s Hassan II Mosque and Marrakech — the Djemaa El-Fna, the souks, and the Bahia Palace.

This is the version that focuses Morocco time on Marrakech specifically, rather than the northern imperial cities route (Fez, Rabat, Meknes) used on the 11-day and longer versions. It works for travelers who have visited or plan to separately visit Fez, and want Marrakech’s distinct energy — the Djemaa El-Fna square at dusk with its food stalls, storytellers, and musicians is a genuinely different experience from anything in Fez or Cairo. Egypt For Travel operates the Egypt portion fully privately (licensed Egyptologist, private vehicle) with local expert guides in Morocco, under ETA Licence Category A No. 1947.

Marrakech vs. Fez — Which Morocco is This?

The choice between the 8-day and 11-day Egypt & Morocco itineraries often comes down to one question: do you want Marrakech or Fez? Both are extraordinary — they just operate differently. Marrakech is kinetic, colorful, and sensory: the Djemaa El-Fna at sunset is the most theatrical public square in the world, and the Majorelle Garden is one of the great designed spaces in North Africa. Fez is quieter, deeper, and more medieval: the largest surviving car-free urban medina on earth, the Al-Qarawiyyin University still functioning after 11 centuries, the leather tanneries unchanged since the 11th century. This 8-day tour gives you Marrakech. For Fez — and Rabat, Meknes, and Volubilis — step up to the 11-Day Top Egypt and Morocco Tours. For both Fez and Marrakech together, see the 14-Day Egypt Morocco Tour.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need visas for both Egypt and Morocco?

Yes for Egypt ($25 e-visa or on arrival). For Morocco: most Western nationalities (USA, UK, EU, Canada, Australia) enter visa-free for up to 90 days — see our Egypt Visa Guide 2026 for your specific nationality.

Is the Djemaa El-Fna night market as good as everyone says?

Yes — genuinely. The square transforms after sunset in a way that photographs cannot capture: food stalls appear from nowhere, storytellers and musicians occupy specific corners, and the entire old medina population flows through it. Egypt For Travel schedules Day 7 so you have the full afternoon and evening in the square rather than arriving too late to experience it properly.

What is the best season for this tour?

October to April for both countries — Egypt at 20–26°C and Marrakech at 15–22°C. Marrakech in January and February is cold at night (near-zero) but gloriously clear during the day. Summer is hot in both countries but manageable with early starts and afternoon riad time. See our Best Time to Visit Egypt guide.

There are two different six-day ways to combine Egypt and Morocco. This is the one that goes north — and the one most travelers have never considered. One full day in Cairo covering the Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx, and the Grand Egyptian Museum. Then north to Tangier — Morocco’s most cosmopolitan city at the Strait of Gibraltar, where Africa and Europe are separated by just 14km of open sea — and from there a day into the Rif Mountains to Chefchaouen, Morocco’s Blue Pearl: a mountain medina painted in dozens of shades of blue by the Jewish refugees who settled there in the 15th century and whose custom it was to paint doorways, steps, and walls in the color of sky and heaven.

Chefchaouen is one of the most-photographed places in North Africa. It looks like nothing in Egypt, nothing in the imperial south of Morocco, nothing most international travelers have encountered before. Egypt For Travel runs this as the northern alternative to the Casablanca and Marrakech version — same duration, same price tier, completely different Morocco. The Egypt leg runs fully privately with a licensed Egyptologist guide under ETA Licence Category A No. 1947.

Tangier — Africa and Europe Face to Face

Tangier is Morocco’s most geographically dramatic city. Standing at Cape Spartel — the Day 4 opening stop — you see both the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea meeting at the northwestern tip of the African continent, with the mountains of Spain clearly visible across the Strait of Gibraltar to the north. The city itself has been international in character since it was designated a neutral international zone in 1923, drawing writers including Paul Bowles, Jack Kerouac, and William S. Burroughs, as well as diplomats, spies, and artists throughout the mid-20th century. The American Legation in Tangier is the oldest US diplomatic property in the world (1821) and the only US National Historic Landmark outside US territory. Tangier is not just a gateway to Chefchaouen — it is a city worth a full day of exploration in its own right, which is exactly what this itinerary gives it.

Why Chefchaouen Is Unlike Anywhere in Morocco or Egypt

Chefchaouen was founded in 1471 by Moroccan refugees expelled from Andalusia during the Spanish Reconquista, and later expanded by Jewish refugees fleeing the same expulsion. The blue paintwork that covers virtually every surface of the medina — from doorsteps to alley walls to staircase risers — was introduced by the Jewish community as a representation of the sky and the divine. The result is a mountain medina that photographs like a fever dream and feels, in person, like walking inside a blue watercolor painting. No other place in Morocco looks like this. No other place in Egypt looks like this. The 2-hour drive from Tangier through the Rif Mountains makes the arrival — a valley of blue buildings appearing suddenly below a cedar-forested ridge — feel appropriately dramatic.

Casablanca & Marrakech vs. Tangier & Chefchaouen — The Decision

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "best" Egypt Morocco tour mean for this itinerary?

It means best for travelers who want the less-visited version of Morocco — the north rather than the south, Tangier and Chefchaouen rather than Casablanca and Marrakech. It is “best” for photographers seeking unusual visuals, for travelers who have already visited Marrakech, and for anyone who wants to see a side of Morocco most tour itineraries skip entirely.

Is the Chefchaouen visit a day trip from Tangier or an overnight?

Overnight — Day 5 is a full day in Chefchaouen with an overnight stay, and Day 6 returns to Tangier for the departure flight. This gives a full afternoon and evening in the blue medina, including sunset (when the blue walls glow extraordinary gold) and the following morning before departure.

Are there direct flights from Cairo to Tangier?

Yes — Royal Air Maroc operates direct Cairo–Tangier connections. Alternatively, connections via Casablanca are also available. Egypt For Travel confirms the best available routing at the time of booking.

Do I need visas for Egypt and Morocco?

Egypt: $25 e-visa or on arrival. Morocco: most Western nationalities enter visa-free for stays up to 90 days. See our Egypt Visa Guide 2026.

The 16-Day Luxury Egypt and Morocco Tour is Egypt For Travel’s most premium two-country itinerary — the only version that stays four nights in Cairo, includes a dedicated day for Old Cairo’s Saladin Citadel and Coptic churches, sails exclusively on a 5-star superior Nile cruise, and books Morocco accommodation at boutique riad level rather than standard hotels. The distinction isn’t the itinerary — you see the same combination of the Pyramids, the Grand Egyptian Museum, the Valley of the Kings, Karnak, Casablanca, Rabat, Volubilis, Fez, and Marrakech as on the 14-day version. The distinction is what you sleep in, what you eat, and how much time you have.

Four nights in Cairo versus three on every other program means a full second day in the city — Day 3 covers the Saladin Citadel and the Muhammad Ali Alabaster Mosque, Coptic Cairo’s Hanging Church, and the Ben Ezra Synagogue, a layer of Cairo that every shorter program skips. The Fairmont Nile City in Cairo is consistently ranked among the finest hotels in Africa. The MS Nile Premium is a 5-star superior cruise ship rather than the Radamis II or standard-grade vessels used on shorter programs. In Morocco, boutique riads in Fez replace standard city hotels. Egypt For Travel operates this tour fully privately throughout both countries, under ETA Licence Category A No. 1947.

What Makes the Luxury Version Different — In Specific Terms

Entrance Fees 2026 — Included in Your Tour Price

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the Luxury version sail Luxor to Aswan instead of Aswan to Luxor?

The 14-day and shorter Egypt-Morocco programs fly Cairo to Aswan and sail north (Aswan to Luxor), ending in Luxor before flying back. The 16-day Luxury itinerary flies directly to Luxor on Day 4 and sails south (Luxor to Aswan), ending in Aswan with a flight back to Cairo. Southbound sailing means you arrive at each site from upstream rather than downstream — a minor but real difference in the experience of the cruise — and it allows Day 3 in Cairo to be used for Old Cairo before departure, which the northbound programs don’t have room for.

Is the Fairmont Nile City significantly better than standard Cairo hotels?

Yes — in our assessment, meaningfully so for a luxury itinerary. The Fairmont Nile City sits directly on the Nile in Zamalek, with Nile-view rooms and suites, two pools, multiple restaurants, and a spa. It’s the hotel we recommend to travelers for whom the quality of sleep and the view from the room is as important as the quality of the sites. The standard Cairo hotels on the shorter programs are solid 4–5 star properties; the Fairmont is a different tier entirely.

What Nile cruise ship is used?

The MS Nile Premium — a 5-star superior vessel. The tour operates on a shared excursion basis during the Nile cruise portion (your Egyptologist guide joins all excursions; the cruise itself operates as a group aboard the ship), while all Cairo and Morocco touring is fully private.

Do I need visas for Egypt and Morocco?

Egypt: $25 e-visa or on arrival. Morocco: most Western nationalities enter visa-free for stays up to 90 days. See our Egypt Visa Guide 2026 for your specific nationality.

Six days is the minimum that works for Egypt and Morocco combined — and this itinerary uses every one of them. One full day in Cairo covering the Pyramids of Giza, the Great Sphinx, and the Grand Egyptian Museum — the world’s largest ancient Egypt museum, opened November 2025 with all 5,398 artefacts from Tutankhamun’s tomb on display. Then two days in Casablanca covering the Hassan II Mosque, the Jewish Museum of Morocco (the only one in the Arab world), and the Art Deco district before a transfer to Marrakech for a full day exploring the Djemaa El-Fna, the Majorelle Garden, and the Koutoubia Mosque.

This is Egypt For Travel’s entry-level Egypt and Morocco itinerary — the right choice for short-break travelers with limited annual leave, travelers combining this with another destination, and anyone who wants to try the pairing before committing to the longer versions. The Egypt leg runs fully privately with a licensed Egyptologist guide. The Morocco leg has a local driver-guide throughout. ETA Licence Category A No. 1947.

Casablanca & Marrakech vs. Tangier & Chefchaouen — Which 6-Day Morocco Is Right for You?

Egypt For Travel runs two different 6-day Egypt and Morocco itineraries, and the choice between them is simply about which Morocco you want to see. This tour (Casablanca + Marrakech) is the Atlantic coast and imperial south version — Morocco’s biggest city paired with its most-visited destination. The Hassan II Mosque, the Art Deco district, the Djemaa El-Fna at sunset, the Majorelle Garden’s vivid cobalt walls. This is the Morocco most international travelers have seen in films, on social media, and in their imagination. The other version (Tangier + Chefchaouen) is the northern Morocco version — the Strait of Gibraltar, the only place where Africa and Europe face each other across open water, and Chefchaouen, a Rif Mountain town painted entirely in blue that looks like nowhere else on earth. Choose this tour if you want Marrakech. Choose the Tangier tour if you want something less-visited and more visually unusual.

What Makes the Jewish Museum of Morocco Worth Your Time

The Jewish Museum of Morocco in Casablanca is genuinely one of the most unusual museum experiences in North Africa — and one of the most historically significant. It is the only Jewish museum in an Arab country, located in a nation where Jews have lived continuously for over 2,000 years. Morocco’s Jewish community — which numbered around 250,000 before the mid-20th century — has left an indelible mark on Moroccan culture, language, cuisine, and architecture. The museum documents this history through ritual objects, photographs, and community artefacts in a way that most visitors find surprising and moving. It is a 45-minute visit that changes how you see Moroccan culture for the rest of the trip.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the shortest Egypt and Morocco combined tour available?

Yes — this 6-day itinerary is the shortest Egypt and Morocco combined tour Egypt For Travel offers, alongside the 6-Day Egypt Morocco Tour (Tangier & Chefchaouen). Six days is the minimum to see both countries meaningfully. For a more complete Morocco experience including Fez, step up to the 8-Day Egypt and Morocco Tour.

Why does this tour go Casablanca first and then Marrakech, not the other way?

Departure on Day 6 is from Casablanca’s Mohamed V International Airport — which has the most international connections. Routing Casablanca on Days 3–4 and Marrakech on Day 5 means the final night is in Marrakech, and the Day 6 morning transfer is Marrakech to Casablanca (approximately 2.5 hours), arriving in time for an afternoon or evening departure. This avoids needing a full extra day just for the airport run.

Does the GEM require pre-booking?

Yes — the Grand Egyptian Museum recommends booking tickets in advance, especially during peak season (October–April) and school holidays. Egypt For Travel handles this as part of the tour at no extra charge. The entrance fee of 1,590 EGP (~$32) is included in the tour price.

Do I need visas for Egypt and Morocco?

Egypt: $25 e-visa or on arrival. Morocco: most Western nationalities (USA, UK, EU, Canada, Australia) enter visa-free for stays up to 90 days. See our Egypt Visa Guide 2026.
