Day 1: Casablanca – Rabat – Meknes – Fes

Your Moroccan adventure commences with a convenient pick-up from Casablanca’s airport or your hotel. Should your arrival schedule permit, you’ll enjoy an exterior view of the stunning Hassan II Mosque. We then journey north to Rabat, Morocco’s elegant capital. Here, you’ll explore the Hassan Tower, the striking minaret of an unfinished mosque, and the revered Mausoleum of Mohammed V. Our drive continues, potentially including a brief glimpse of the Imperial city of Meknes, before we reach Fes. Settle into your traditional Riad for dinner and your first overnight stay.

Day 2: Fes Sightseeing tour with a local guide

Following breakfast at your Riad, an expert local guide will lead you on a full-day immersion into Fes el-Bali, the ancient, walled Medina and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Prepare to be captivated as you navigate its labyrinthine alleyways, uncovering layers of history and vibrant culture. Key discoveries include the ornate gates of the Royal Palace, the historic Mellah (Jewish Quarter), the intricate beauty of Medersas (Quranic schools), the famous Tanneries (viewed from a panoramic terrace), and the bustling energy of the traditional souks. Return to your Riad for an overnight stay in Fes.

Day 3: Fes – Azrou – Midelt – Merzouga

After an early breakfast (around 8:30 am departure), our journey south towards the Sahara Desert begins. We’ll traverse diverse landscapes, starting with Ifrane, dubbed “Morocco’s Switzerland,” then venturing into the cedar forests of Azrou in the Middle Atlas, home to playful Barbary macaques. Continuing to Midelt, known for apples and minerals, watch as the scenery transforms dramatically upon entering the Ziz Valley, a stunning ribbon of palm groves dotted with fortified ksour. Passing through the fossil-rich town of Erfoud and historic Rissani, we finally reach Merzouga, the threshold of the magnificent Erg Chebbi dunes. Settle in for an overnight stay near this sandy expanse.

Day 4: Tour around Erg Chebbi dunes

Today is dedicated to an exhilarating 4×4 exploration of the captivating landscapes surrounding the Erg Chebbi dunes. We’ll seek out the seasonal lake of Merzouga (a haven for flamingos when full) and visit Khamlia village to experience the soulful rhythms of traditional Gnawa music. The adventure may also include discovering abandoned colonial-era mines and soaking in panoramic vistas, including a lush palm oasis. A special highlight is often a visit to a nomadic Berber family, offering a glimpse into their enduring lifestyle. After this enriching excursion (lunch included), you’ll prepare for your camel trek into the heart of Erg Chebbi. Witness a spectacular desert sunset before arriving at your desert camp for dinner and an unforgettable night under a canopy of stars.

Day 5: Merzouga – Rissani souk – Erfoud – Dades Valley

Awaken early to witness a breathtaking sunrise painting the Sahara dunes – an unforgettable spectacle. After breakfast at the camp, you’ll ride your camels (or opt for a 4×4 transfer) back to the dune line. We then depart for the Dades Valley. Should it be a market day (typically Sunday, Tuesday, or Thursday), a visit to the bustling traditional souk in Rissani offers a vibrant cultural experience. Our route continues through Erfoud (famed for its fossils) and Jorf, leading us to the awe-inspiring Todra Gorges. Here, you can stroll along the riverbed, dwarfed by towering canyon walls. From Todra, we journey onward to the striking Dades Valley, celebrated for its dramatic rock formations. Your overnight stay will be in a local hotel or kasbah.

Day 6: Dades – Skoura Oasis – Ouarzazate – Marrakech

After breakfast, we travel the famed “Road of a Thousand Kasbahs,” winding through traditional Berber villages built from earthen clay. Our path leads through the verdant Skoura Oasis, renowned for its palm groves and historic fortresses like Kasbah Amerhidil. We proceed to Ouarzazate, the “Hollywood of Africa,” where you can visit the impressive Taourirt Kasbah and perhaps the Atlas Film Studios. The journey culminates at the iconic Ksar of Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1987. This exceptionally preserved fortified village, a backdrop for films like “Gladiator” and “Game of Thrones,” awaits your exploration. Afterwards, we embark on a scenic drive towards Marrakech, crossing the majestic High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi N’Tichka pass (2260m), offering stunning panoramic views. Upon arrival, you’ll be escorted to your Marrakech accommodation.
