The journey

Welcome to Morocco. You land at Casablanca Mohammed V International Airport, where your private driver meets you in the arrivals hall and takes you to Rabat, the capital, about an hour away. You check into your riad, and depending on your flight time, you can start exploring the city.
Rabat is calmer than most Moroccan cities and easy to enjoy on foot. You can wander the medina and visit the Kasbah of the Udayas, a whitewashed fortress quarter with wide views over the Atlantic Ocean, then visit the Hassan Tower, the unfinished minaret of a 12th-century mosque, and the Mohammed V Mausoleum beside it. The timing adapts to your flight, so there is no need to rush after a long journey.

The morning is at leisure in Rabat, so you can enjoy a slow breakfast or take one more walk before leaving. You then drive north along the Atlantic coast to Asilah, a charming seaside town with whitewashed walls, old Portuguese ramparts and lanes decorated with murals. You have a short tour and lunch here.
In the afternoon you continue to Tangier, a port city that has faced Europe across the Strait of Gibraltar for centuries. You arrive in the evening and can start to enjoy its lively atmosphere.
A guided day in Tangier, a city long loved by writers and artists. You explore the historic Kasbah and the lively medina, and stop at the Petit Socco, the small square at the heart of the old town. You also visit the Tangier American Legation Museum, housed in the first property the United States ever owned abroad, given by the sultan of Morocco in 1821.
You then drive out to Cape Spartel, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea, for scenic views. An optional visit to the Caves of Hercules, a sea cave said to be shaped like the map of Africa, completes the day, and entrance is included. Lunch and dinner are at your leisure.

After breakfast you drive south into the Rif Mountains to Chefchaouen, the Blue City. The lanes, stairways and doorways of its old town are washed in shades of blue, and the pace is slower and quieter than in Morocco’s big cities. You have time to wander its blue-washed alleys at your own pace and take photographs.
For wide views over the town and the mountains, you can take an optional hike to the Spanish Mosque, best in the late afternoon light. The climb takes around half an hour from town.Wearing a comfortable shoes is a must. Dinner is at a loca restaurant.

After breakfast you leave the Rif and drive toward Fez, with two stops on the way. The first is Volubilis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best-preserved Roman sites in North Africa, with its mosaics, triumphal arch and columns standing in the open plain. Entrance is included.
You then visit Meknes, one of Morocco’s four imperial cities, to see Bab Mansour, the monumental gate often called the most beautiful in the country. An optional lunch at a regional farm is possible in the countryside. You arrive in Fez in the evening, Check into your hotel, and enjoy your leisure time.

A full guided day in Fez, home to one of the largest car-free urban areas in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You start at the exterior of the Royal Palace, with its brass doors and tiled walls, then walk through the Jewish Quarter (the Mellah), and visit a ceramic workshop where Fez’s famous blue pottery is shaped, painted and fired by hand. You also visit the Attarine Madrasa and the Nejjarine Museum of Wooden Arts, both with entrance fees (Optional).
In the afternoon you pass the exterior of Al Quaraouiyine, founded in 859 and widely considered the oldest continually operating university in the world, and visit the Chouara Tanneries, where leather is dyed in open stone vats, a method that has barely changed in centuries. Dinner is at a traditional Moroccan restaurant.
Plan on several hours of walking. The lanes are narrow, busy and uneven, so bring comfortable shoes.

This is a long driving day, and also one of the most varied. You leave Fez and climb into the Middle Atlas Mountains, stopping at Ifrane, the alpine-style town known as Morocco’s Little Switzerland, and the cedar forests of Azrou, where wild Barbary macaques come down to the roadside. The road then follows the Ziz Valley, with its palm groves and river views.
You reach Merzouga in late afternoon, you ride a camel into the Erg Chebbi dunes to your camp, dinner is served in your camp as well followed by berber music.

Meet your 4×4 driver and start your day by visiting the Nomad family, get to know how they live in this part of Sahara. Next visit Khamlia, a village of Gnaoua descendants, for a live music performance, a tradition of drumming and chanting with roots in sub-Saharan Africa. Lunch is a Berber pizza, a traditional dish baked in the sand or oven.
In the afternoon, return back to your luxury desert camp. You will have free time to walk to one of the nearby dunes, take photos or do sundboarding. The night brings dinner, music and stargazing, and with almost no light pollution the sky is exceptional on clear evenings.

After breakfast you leave the desert and follow the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs, a route of palm groves, river valleys and clay-built kasbahs. You stop for short walk at the breathtaking Todra Gorge, where canyon walls rise up to 300 metres on either side.
The drive continues with a short stop at roses valley, then in Ouarzazate, Morocco’s film-making capital, before you arrive at Aït Ben Haddou. You spend the night in a kasbah in the village.

Start the morning at Aït Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Morocco’s most famous fortified ksar. Built of earth and clay along an old caravan route, it has appeared in many films and television series, and you walk up through its alleys for wide views over the valley.
You then cross the High Atlas Mountains by the Tizi n’Tichka Pass, with lunch along the way, and arrive in Marrakech. Check into your hotel, then get ready for an orientation tour in the old medina of Marrakech and visit the vibrant Jamaa Elfna square where you can see food stalls, musicians and storytellers.

A guided exploration of Marrakech. You start at the Ben Youssef Madrasa, an Islamic school founded in the 14th century, known for its carved cedar, stucco and zellige tilework around a central courtyard. You then walk through the souks and end at Jemaa el-Fnaa Square, the heart of the city.
In the afternoon you can unwind with an optional hammam and spa session, a centuries-old bathing ritual of steam, black soap and full-body exfoliation. Dinner is at a renowned Marrakech restaurant.

Start the morning at the Dar El Bacha Museum, a former palace with courtyards, gardens and carved ceilings, and stop for a coffee at its café.
The afternoon is free. You can shop in the souks, visit the Majorelle Garden, the cobalt-blue garden created by the painter Jacques Majorelle, and the Yves Saint Laurent Museum next door, or simply have time at leisure. Lunch and dinner are at your leisure.

After breakfast you drive west to the coastal town of Essaouira. The landscape changes from the plains around Marrakech to argan forests and, near the coast, the Atlantic wind. You check into your riad on arrival.
In the afternoon you take an orientation walk through the medina, which is listed by UNESCO, to get your bearings. The day ends with a fresh seafood dinner.

Essaouira is a relaxed, breezy coastal town with a walled medina. Your guide takes you on a walking tour, starting with the Skala de la Kasbah, the old sea ramparts lined with cannons, and its views over the Atlantic. You also visit the port, where the blue fishing boats come in, and artisan workshops where the local specialty is woodwork made from thuya, a fragrant native wood.
The rest of the day is free for the beach, the souks or the local art galleries. Dinner is at leisure and recommendation is provided. The wind off the ocean keeps the town cool, so bring a light jacket.

You leave Essaouira and follow the scenic Atlantic coastal road north. The main stop is Oualidia, a small lagoon town known for its fresh fish and oysters, where you can have lunch by the water.
You continue to Casablanca, Morocco’s largest city, and arrive in time for a farewell dinner at a fine-dining Moroccan restaurant, a good way to celebrate your journey across the country.
After breakfast, if your departure is in the afternoon, you will have a chance visit Hassan II Mosque, one of the largest mosques in the world, built on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, and along the Corniche. You then transfer to Casablanca Mohammed V International Airport for your departure flight.
