14-Day Egypt Morocco Tour 2026 — Complete Imperial Cities Circuit
Overview
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.

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).

Prices Policy
All prices for the 14-Day Egypt Morocco Tour are quoted per person in US dollars based on room occupancy (triple, double, or single) and accommodation tier as shown in the Prices tab. Euro and GBP pricing available on request. May–September rates are the lowest; October–April high-season rates reflect peak demand for Nile cruise cabins, Fez riads, and Marrakech hotels. Christmas, New Year, and Easter carry additional surcharges — December departures in particular require early booking as both Nile cruise and Marrakech hotel availability is limited. Your rate is locked from the moment of deposit receipt. All listed entrance fees are included — no hidden admission charges are added after booking. The Hassan II Mosque interior tour ($15 per person) is excluded from the standard price and can be added on Day 7 or 8 through your local Moroccan guide.
Tips for Departure
On Day 14, avoid booking outgoing international flights before 3:00 PM from Casablanca Mohamed V Airport. For Egypt days: closed-toe walking shoes essential for the Pyramids plateau and all temple sites. For Morocco: the Fez Medina requires the same footwear — its lanes are cobbled, uneven, and often steep. Dress modestly throughout both countries: shoulders and knees covered for mosque visits, madrasas, and the Mausoleum in Rabat. Bring a light jacket for Morocco evenings year-round; the drive from Fez to Marrakech passes through the Atlas Mountains where temperatures drop noticeably even in summer. The Djemaa El-Fna in Marrakech comes alive after sunset — plan the Day 12 evening schedule around this.
Children Policy
Infants up to 2 years: free, sharing parents’ room. Children under 6: 25% of adult rate on an extra bed. Children under 12: 50% of adult rate. Children 12+: full adult rate. Maximum one discounted child per room. On the Nile cruise, children share their parents’ cabin at the same rate structure. The 14-day itinerary is suitable for children who can walk 2–3 hours comfortably; the Fez Medina and Marrakech souks are genuinely engaging for older children. Volubilis is one of the best sites on the tour for school-age children interested in Roman history. Our team can advise on pacing adjustments for families when booking.
Payment Policy
25% deposit required to confirm the 14-Day Egypt Morocco Tour. Christmas and New Year departures require 50% deposit — Nile cruise, Fez riad, and Marrakech hotel capacity during those dates is limited. Balance due one week before arrival, payable by bank transfer, Visa, Mastercard, or cash on arrival in Egypt. Your rate is locked from deposit payment.
Installment Policy
Installment plans available over 6, 9, or 12 months. The full balance must be settled before arrival; any outstanding amount on arrival is payable by cash or card. Contact our team via WhatsApp (+20 155 555 2466) to set up a plan at booking.
Tipping
As a practical guide for this 14-day tour: Egypt Egyptologist guide $8–10 per person per day; Egypt driver $4–5 per day; Nile cruise housekeeping and restaurant staff $3–5 per person per day (pooled into a crew envelope on the final cruise night); Morocco local expert guides $5–8 per person per day throughout Morocco; Morocco driver $4–5 per day; Fez Medina certified guide (required by local regulation for medina visits) $5–8 per person; riad porter $1–2 per bag; Marrakech calèche driver (if used for getting around the medina) $3–5 per ride. These are guidance figures — adjust based on your experience and group size.
Cancellation Policy
61+ days before arrival: 10% of total price. 31–60 days: 20%. 15–30 days: 50%. 1–14 days or no-show: 100%. Domestic Egyptian flight tickets (Cairo–Aswan, Luxor–Cairo) are additionally subject to airline cancellation terms, typically non-refundable once ticketed. Travel insurance strongly recommended for a 14-day multi-country itinerary of this scale.
Emergency Cancellation Policy
If a formal government travel advisory or airline cancellation occurs due to unforeseen emergency circumstances — conflict, natural disaster, pandemic, or similar — Egypt For Travel applies a flexible policy independent of standard cancellation terms: full credit valid for 12 months from booking, or refund less non-recoverable airline and bank charges. Egypt For Travel’s own cancellation fees are waived under confirmed emergency advisories. Contact us immediately via WhatsApp (+20 155 555 2466) if affected.
