Your grand tour begins upon arrival at Casablanca Airport (CMN). Your private driver will greet you and take you to visit the magnificent Hassan II Mosque, an architectural marvel perched on the Atlantic shore. After exploring, we'll take a short drive to Rabat, Morocco's capital. You'll check into your riad and have the evening to settle in and relax.
This morning is dedicated to exploring Rabat's historical treasures. We'll visit the impressive Hassan Tower, the elegant Mausoleum of Mohammed V, and the ancient Kasbah of the Udayas with its tranquil Andalusian gardens. Afterwards, we journey north, watching the landscape transform as we enter the beautiful Rif Mountains, arriving in the iconic blue city of Chefchaouen for your overnight stay.
After breakfast, enjoy a morning exploring Chefchaouen's magical, blue-washed medina at your own pace. In the afternoon, we depart for Fes. Along the way, we'll step back in time at the extensive Roman ruins of Volubilis and visit the imperial city of Meknes to admire the monumental Bab Mansour gate before arriving in Fes, where you'll spend the night in a traditional riad.
Today, you'll uncover the secrets of Morocco's cultural and spiritual capital. A certified local guide will lead you on an immersive walking tour through the labyrinthine alleys of Fes el-Bali, a UNESCO World Heritage site. You will visit the world's oldest university, Al-Qarawiyyin, the famous Chouara Tanneries, the Bou Inania Madrasa, and see the intricate gates of the Royal Palace.
Our journey south begins, taking us through the alpine-style town of Ifrane and the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas, where you may spot Barbary apes. After lunch in Midelt, we travel through the vast Ziz Valley. Arriving at the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes in Merzouga, you'll trade your vehicle for a camel and trek across the golden sands to witness a spectacular sunset before arriving at your luxury desert camp for a magical night under the stars.
Today is dedicated to a deeper exploration of the Sahara. We’ll embark on a 4x4 adventure to visit a nomadic family and share a cup of tea, discover centuries-old kohl mines, and experience the powerful Gnawa music in the village of Khamlia. In the afternoon, you can relax or swim at your hotel located right at the dune line, offering a different but equally stunning desert perspective.
After breakfast, we bid farewell to the Sahara and head towards the High Atlas Mountains. Our first stop is the magnificent Todra Gorges, where you can take a walk between the towering 300-meter-high canyon walls. We then continue along the "Road of a Thousand Kasbahs" to the dramatic and scenic Dades Valley for dinner and an overnight stay.
Our journey to Marrakech takes us through the Valley of Roses and Ouarzazate, the "Hollywood of Africa." The highlight is a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Ait Ben Haddou, a magnificent fortified ksar. After exploring this historic site, we will traverse the spectacular High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n'Tichka pass (2260m), arriving in Marrakech in the early evening.
Discover the vibrant "Red City" with an expert local guide. Your tour will include visits to historical marvels like the Koutoubia Mosque, the lavish Bahia Palace, and the Saadian Tombs. You'll then dive into the sensory maze of the souks before experiencing the electrifying atmosphere of Djemaa el-Fna square, with its storytellers, musicians, and food stalls.
Today, we escape to the coast for a day trip to the charming, windswept city of Essaouira. Explore its UNESCO-listed medina, walk along the historic Skala de la Ville ramparts with their iconic blue boats in the harbor, enjoy fresh seafood for lunch, and soak up the city's unique artistic and bohemian vibe before returning to Marrakech.
Experience a different side of Morocco with a refreshing day trip into the High Atlas Mountains. We'll drive to the lush Ourika Valley, known for its terraced fields, Berber villages, and waterfalls. Enjoy a short hike to the Setti Fatma waterfalls and have lunch at a traditional restaurant by the river before heading back to Marrakech.
Enjoy a full day at your leisure in Marrakech. This is the perfect opportunity to revisit your favorite spots, hunt for souvenirs in the souks, indulge in a relaxing hammam and spa treatment, take a Moroccan cooking class, or simply relax by the pool at your riad.
Another day to enjoy Marrakech at your own pace. You might visit the tranquil Majorelle Garden and the Yves Saint Laurent Museum, explore the modern Gueliz district, or discover more hidden gems within the medina.
