Your tour begins with pickup in Casablanca. We'll visit the Hassan II Mosque, then drive to Rabat to see the Hassan Tower and the Kasbah of the Udayas. We then continue north to the blue city of Chefchaouen, nestled in the Rif Mountains, for your overnight stay.
Spend the morning exploring the magical blue-painted streets of Chefchaouen. In the afternoon, we depart for Fes, stopping to discover the Roman ruins of Volubilis. We arrive in Fes in the evening and check into your authentic riad.
Explore the cultural capital of Morocco with a local guide. You will navigate the ancient Fes el-Bali medina, visiting the University of Al-Qarawiyyin, Nejjarine Fountain, the famous tanneries, and the Royal Palace gates.
We travel south, passing through Ifrane and the cedar forests. After lunch in Midelt, we continue through the Ziz Valley. Arriving in Merzouga, you will start your camel trek into the Erg Chebbi dunes for sunset and a magical night in a luxury desert camp.
Today is dedicated to a deeper exploration of the desert. We’ll take a 4x4 tour to visit nomadic families, discover fossil mines, and experience the Gnawa music of Khamlia village. In the afternoon, relax at your hotel at the foot of the dunes, before enjoying a second peaceful desert night.
After breakfast, we depart the Sahara and journey to the magnificent Todra Gorges for a walk within the canyon. We then continue along the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs to the scenic Dades Valley for dinner and an overnight stay.
We drive through the Valley of Roses to Ouarzazate, visiting the famous Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah. After exploring this UNESCO site, we will traverse the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n'Tichka pass, arriving in Marrakech in the early evening.
Discover the "Red City" with a local guide. You will visit the Koutoubia Mosque, the Saadian Tombs, and the Bahia Palace. You'll also get lost in the vibrant souks and end the day in the famous Djemaa el-Fna square, a hub of culture and entertainment.
After breakfast, enjoy free time for last-minute shopping before we transfer you to Marrakech-Menara Airport (RAK) for your departure, concluding your complete 9-day Morocco discovery tour.

The tour is generally not physically demanding and is suitable for people with a standard level of fitness. It involves walking tours in cities and a camel ride (which can be substituted with a 4x4 transfer). The pace is comfortable and can be adjusted to your needs.
