Casablanca to Chefchaouen via Rabat

Begin with a guided visit inside the Hassan II Mosque. Drive north to Rabat for the Hassan Tower — the unfinished 12th-century minaret of what would have been the world's grandest mosque — and the adjacent Mausoleum of Mohammed V. Explore the Bab Chellah ancient gate and the 17th-century Oudaya Kasbah with panoramic views over the Bou Regreg estuary.

Day 5

Fez to Merzouga via Middle Atlas

Travel south through the alpine resort of Ifrane and Azrou's ancient cedar forest — home to wild Barbary macaques that often appear at the roadside. Descend through the Ziz Gorges and the lush Ziz Valley, a ribbon of date palms threading through ochre canyon walls. Arrive in Merzouga and ride your camel at sunset into the towering Erg Chebbi dunes to your luxury desert camp for a traditional Moroccan feast and live Berber music.

Watch the desert sunrise paint the Erg Chebbi dunes gold before breakfast and departure. Head west through Erfoud's fossil marble workshops and Rissani's ancient souk to Todra Gorge, where vertical limestone walls rise 300 metres above the canyon floor and a cool river offers a serene walk through the shadows. Continue through the Dades Valley — passing earthen kasbahs, rose gardens, and the bizarre "Monkey Fingers" rock formations.
