go on a captivating 8-day odyssey that unveils the soul of Morocco, from the coastal energy of Tangier to the vibrant heart of Marrakech. Lose yourself in the enchanting blue alleyways of Chefchaouen, unravel the mysteries of the ancient Fez medina, and surrender to the silence of the Sahara with a night in a luxurious desert camp under a blanket of stars. A highlight of your journey will be a moment of genuine connection, sharing tea with a nomadic family in the desert. This is more than a tour; it’s a tapestry of unforgettable moments woven through Morocco’s most iconic landscapes and cultural encounters.
Your Moroccan tour begins the moment you are welcomed in Tangier. Our guide will greet you at your point of arrival—be it the airport, port, or your hotel—ready to embark on this incredible journey. The road soon unfurls into the majestic Rif Mountains, offering breathtaking vistas as we ascend towards the enchanting “Blue Pearl” of Chefchaouen. Upon arrival, you will settle into the serenity of a charming local Riad, with the rest of the day free to lose yourself in the city’s blue-washed streets, vibrant markets, and cozy cafes.
A day of history awaits as we travel towards Fez. Our first stop is Volubilis, where you’ll walk among the remarkably preserved ruins of an ancient Roman city. Next, we delve into the imperial grandeur of Meknes, exploring its monumental gates and historic walls before continuing to the cultural capital, Fez, for the night.
Prepare to be mesmerized as a local guide leads you through the world’s most vibrant living medina. You’ll navigate a labyrinth of narrow alleyways, alive with the scent of aromatic spices and the sight of handcrafted treasures. The tour will reveal the secrets of the Royal Palace, the ancient tanneries, and the city’s renowned potteries, with a break for lunch at an authentic local restaurant.
An epic travel day takes you south, crossing the diverse landscapes of the Middle Atlas Mountains. We’ll journey through immense cedar forests—home to playful Barbary apes—and traverse vast plains dotted with Berber villages. After a lunch stop in Midelt, we’ll descend through the spectacular Ziz Valley, watching the scenery transform into a desert panorama. Upon reaching Merzouga, your camel caravan awaits to carry you into the dunes for a breathtaking sunset, followed by dinner and a magical night in a desert camp.
Awaken to the serene beauty of the Sahara. Today is dedicated to exploring the desert’s wonders, from the lush oases of Merzouga to the ancestral lands of nomadic Berbers. We will visit the village of Khamlia to experience the soul-stirring rhythms of Gnaoua music before riding our camels to a secluded spot in the dunes for another spectacular sunset and an overnight stay in traditional nomad tents.
After greeting the desert sunrise, we return to our hotel for a refreshing shower and breakfast. Our journey continues to the bustling market of Rissani, a historic trading hub. From there, we head to the magnificent Todra Gorges, where you can walk alongside the crystal-clear river flowing between towering canyon walls. Our day concludes in the beautiful Dades Valley, where we’ll spend the night in a charming local riad.
Today we travel the famous “Road of a Thousand Kasbahs” towards Marrakech. Our main stop is the legendary Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site whose ancient walls have starred in countless films. After lunch with a view of this iconic fortress, we’ll embark on the dramatic ascent over the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka pass, descending into the vibrant city of Marrakech.
On your final day, following breakfast, you will commence a guided tour of Marrakech. A local expert will lead you through the city’s primary landmarks, including Jemaa el-Fna square, the Bahia Palace, Saadian Tombs, Ben Youssef Madrassa, and the Koutoubia Mosque. After lunch, the tour concludes with a visit to the Majorelle Garden. Subsequently, a transfer will be provided to either Marrakech (RAK) or Casablanca (CMN) airport in accordance with your flight schedule. This marks the end of your 8-day tour services.
