After breakfast, our adventure begins in Casablanca, Morocco’s largest city and economic hub. Here, we will visit the magnificent Hassan II Mosque, the seventh-largest mosque in the world and the largest on the continent.

Next, we travel to Rabat, Morocco’s capital and royal residence. In Rabat, we’ll explore landmarks such as the Chellah Necropolis and Gardens, Hassan Tower, Mohamed V Mausoleum, and the Oudaya Kasbah.

After lunch at a local restaurant, we’ll head to Meknes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for the mausoleum of Sultan Moulay Ismail. Highlights here include the medina, Bab el Mansour gate, the Jewish quarter, and Moulay Ismail’s mausoleum.

Our next stop is Volubilis, another UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best-preserved Roman archaeological sites in North Africa. Enjoy picturesque landscapes en route, passing traditional villages.

Finally, we continue to Fez for accommodation.

After breakfast, we’ll immerse ourselves in this imperial city. Fez is renowned for having the largest Medina in the world and as a cradle of culture, home to the first university in the world.

We’ll start our adventure with a guided tour led by an official guide through the Medina of Fez. You’ll explore its narrow streets, discover hidden spots, and dive into its rich history. The Medina of Fez, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a global hub for craftsmanship, particularly leatherwork and pottery.

We’ll visit the stunning gate of the Royal Palace, move through the Jewish Quarter (dating back to the 14th century), and explore cultural landmarks such as the Tanneries and the famous University of Al-Qarawiyyin.

After immersing ourselves in the history and culture of Fez, we’ll pause for lunch at a traditional Moroccan restaurant. The day concludes with a panoramic view of the Medina from a scenic overlook, leaving you with an unforgettable memory of Fez.

Accommodation is in Fez.

After breakfast, we’ll say goodbye to Fez and head toward the desert. Along the way, we’ll pass through towns like Ifrane, known as “the Switzerland of Morocco,” and Azrou, where we’ll discover the Middle Atlas and its cedar forests with ancient trees and Barbary macaques.

We’ll continue to Midelt, “the apple city,” where we’ll stop for lunch. Then we’ll pass through Errachidia, famed for its palm valley (the Ziz Valley), Erfoud (a city well-known for fossil discoveries), and Rissani (famous for dates and its main regional market).

Finally, we’ll reach the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi in the Merzouga Desert, home to the tallest dunes in North Africa. Here, we’ll embark on a camel trek across the stunning desert landscape, pausing to watch the sunset.

Afterward, we’ll journey into the heart of the desert to our campsite for the night. You’ll be welcomed with traditional tea and treated to a delicious Berber dinner under the vast desert sky. The evening will include a lively drum performance around a fire, offering you the chance to play traditional Berber instruments and marvel at one of Africa’s most spectacular starry skies.

After breakfast, we’ll head to Rissani, also known as Sijilmassa, to explore its traditional market. This key regional hub supplies perishable goods and handicrafts to surrounding areas and is one of the region’s oldest and largest markets.

We’ll then bid farewell to the palm valley and continue toward the Dadès Valley. Along the way, we’ll pass Berber villages like Erfoud and Tinghir, eventually reaching the breathtaking Todra Gorges, where we’ll stop (weather permitting).

The day concludes in Dadès, where we’ll have dinner and stay overnight.

After breakfast, we’ll travel along the “Road of a Thousand Kasbahs”, passing through the Valley of Roses and Skoura. We’ll stop at Ouarzazate, a globally renowned filming location for movies such as “The Jewel of the Nile” and “Gladiator”. Known as the “Gateway to the Desert”, Ouarzazate also features landmarks like the Kasbah Taourirt and Atlas Film Studios.

Next, we’ll visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ait Ben Haddou, a fortified village surrounded by walls that served as a setting for films and series such as “Game of Thrones” and “Prince of Persia”. We’ll have lunch at this magical site before crossing the High Atlas Mountains via Tizi n’Tichka, Morocco’s highest mountain pass (7,415 ft), and arriving in Marrakech for the night.

After a revitalizing breakfast at your accommodation, we will embark on a guided tour of the Red City, Marrakech. On this tour, we will explore the streets of Marrakech, discovering its essence and most important monuments, such as the Koutoubia Mosque (a 13th-century structure; a sister of Seville's Giralda and considered the spiritual center of Marrakech), the Saadian Tombs (dating back to the 16th century, famous for their central Carrara marble dome), and the Bahia Palace (16th century, a prime example of aristocratic life in medieval Muslim Morocco, with a notable cedar wood ceiling in the Ambassador's Hall).
