Itinerary

Upon your arrival in Marrakech, our driver will welcome you at the airport and transfer you to your riad or hotel in the city. Depending on your arrival time, you can enjoy a free stroll in the vibrant medina, explore Jemaa el-Fnaa square, or relax before your adventure begins.

We depart early and cross the spectacular High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka pass, enjoying panoramic views and Berber villages along the way. Visit the UNESCO-listed Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou before continuing to Ouarzazate, the "Hollywood of Africa." The journey then takes us through the Valley of Roses and into the dramatic Dades Valley, where we spend the night.

After breakfast, we travel through the scenic Dades Valley and stop at the impressive Todra Gorges for a short walk. We continue towards Merzouga, where you’ll meet your camel guide for a magical ride across the sand dunes at sunset. Enjoy a traditional dinner and live Berber music in a desert camp under the stars.

We wake early to catch the sunrise over the dunes, then return to Merzouga by camel. After breakfast, we drive through Rissani and the beautiful Ziz Valley, passing date palms and mountain views. Lunch stop in Midelt, followed by a drive through the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas, with a short break in Ifrane—known as Morocco’s “Little Switzerland.” Arrive in Fez in the evening.

Enjoy a full day to explore Fez, Morocco’s spiritual and cultural capital. Visit the medieval medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, including the Al Quaraouiyine Mosque, tanneries, and artisan quarters. A local guide will help you uncover the city’s rich history and hidden gems. Overnight in a riad.

After breakfast, we head to the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis for a guided visit, then continue to the holy town of Moulay Idriss. In the afternoon, we arrive in the enchanting blue town of Chefchaouen, nestled in the Rif Mountains. Spend the evening wandering through its charming blue-painted streets.

Enjoy a relaxed morning in Chefchaouen before we drive north through the Rif Mountains to Tangier. Upon arrival, take time to explore the city’s blend of cultures, visit the Kasbah, stroll along the corniche, or simply relax by the sea.

Depending on your flight or ferry time, we will transfer you to the port or airport. End of our services and we hope you leave with unforgettable memories of Morocco.
