Day 1: Arrival to Fes

On arrival at Fes Airport, your friendly driver will meet you, assist with your luggage, and transfer you to your accommodation. After check-in, you are free to explore the nearby streets of the ancient city or relax and prepare for the start of your adventure.

After breakfast, depart Fes for the imperial city of Meknes. Here you can admire historic gates, grand monuments, and royal heritage. Continue to the UNESCO-listed Roman ruins of Volubilis, where ancient mosaics and stone structures stand as testimony to Morocco’s Roman past. In the afternoon, the journey continues north to Chefchaouen, known for its serene blue streets and mountain setting. 

Enjoy a relaxed morning wandering the blue lanes of Chefchaouen before departing for Rabat, the Moroccan capital. Upon arrival, visit iconic sites such as Hassan Tower, the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, and the historic Oudaya Kasbah overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Explore the Old Medina before overnighting in Rabat.

Today’s drive takes you to Casablanca, where you will visit the breathtaking Hassan II Mosque, an architectural masterpiece built on the ocean’s edge. Afterwards, continue onward to Marrakech, arriving in the late afternoon with the rest of the day at leisure to soak in the city’s vibrant atmosphere. 

Your guided day in Marrakech begins with the tranquil Majorelle Gardens and continues to the iconic Koutoubia Mosque. Experience the historic Saadian Tombs and the elegant Bahia Palace, before exploring the lively souks and the famous Jemaa el-Fnaa Square, where storytellers, musicians, and vendors bring the medina to life. 

Cross the High Atlas Mountains via the scenic Tizi n’Tichka Pass to reach Ait Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site famed for its ancient kasbahs. From there, continue to Ouarzazate, the “Gateway to the Desert,” and then into the stunning Dadès Valley for your overnight stay. 

After breakfast, travel through the dramatic Todra Gorge, a breathtaking river canyon carved through towering cliffs. Continue toward Rissani and then on to Merzouga, where you will experience a camel trek into the Sahara Desert. Watch the sunset over the dunes and spend the night under the stars in a desert camp.

Begin the return leg with a sunrise over the Erg Chebbi dunes, then depart the desert heading north. You will pass through the Middle Atlas Mountains, stopping in Azrou’s cedar forests where Barbary macaques roam, and through the “Switzerland of Morocco,” Ifrane, before arriving back in Fes to conclude your tour.
