Day-by-Day Itinerary
Day 1
Arrival in Casablanca
Begin with the awe-inspiring Hassan II Mosque β one of the world's largest mosques, built partially over the Atlantic Ocean with a 210-metre minaret and seating for 105,000 worshippers β and its intricate hand-carved stucco and cedar ceilings. Stroll the Corniche seafront boulevard before settling into your hotel.
Day 2
Casablanca to Chefchaouen via Rabat
Drive north to Rabat, Morocco's serene capital. Visit the unfinished Hassan Tower and the elegant Mausoleum of Mohammed V. Explore the Bab Chellah medieval gate and the 17th-century Oudaya Kasbah with panoramic views over the Bou Regreg estuary. Continue into the Rif Mountains to Chefchaouen β the legendary Blue Pearl, where every surface glows in shades of azure and cobalt.
Day 3
Chefchaouen to Fez via Volubilis and Meknes
Explore Chefchaouen's medina in the morning: the 15th-century Kasbah, the Great Mosque, and artisan shops selling handwoven wool and natural-dye leather. Continue to Volubilis, Morocco's finest Roman archaeological site, where intact mosaics, a triumphal arch, and ancient columns speak of a flourishing 3rd-century city. Visit Meknes to admire the monumental Bab Mansour gateway and the ornate Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail before arriving in Fez.
Day 4
Full Day in Fez
Full guided day in Fez el-Bali β the world's largest car-free medieval city β with a local licensed guide. Visit the Royal Palace golden gates, the 14th-century Bou Inania Madrasa, the Al-Qarawiyyin University (the world's oldest university, founded 859 AD), the Chouara Tanneries viewed from a rooftop terrace filled with honeycomb dye vats of saffron, poppy, and indigo, and the Mellah Jewish Quarter.
Day 5
Fez to Merzouga
Travel south through the alpine resort of Ifrane β nicknamed the "Switzerland of Morocco" β and Azrou's ancient cedar forest where wild Barbary macaques inhabit the roadside trees. Descend through the dramatic Ziz Gorges and the lush Ziz Valley, a ribbon of date palms threading through ochre canyons. Arrive in Merzouga and mount your camel at sunset for a trek across the golden Erg Chebbi dunes to your luxury Berber camp, with a traditional dinner and live drumming under the stars.
Day 6
Merzouga to Dades Valley via Todra Gorge
Rise before dawn to watch the Sahara sunrise paint the Erg Chebbi dunes from deep indigo to brilliant gold β a breathtaking spectacle of colour and shadow across the great sand sea. After a nomad-style breakfast at camp, travel west to Todra Gorge where 300-metre limestone walls rise sheer above a cool, shallow river in a canyon barely 10 metres wide at its narrowest β one of Morocco's most dramatic natural wonders, its temperature several degrees cooler than the surrounding pre-Saharan plains. Walk the gorge corridor in the deep canyon shade. Continue westward through the Dades Valley, stopping at the iconic "Monkey Fingers" rock formations: pale limestone towers sculpted by centuries of differential water erosion into extraordinary organic pillars rising above the valley floor. Drive through the fragrant Rose Valley of Kalaat Mgouna β where damask rose fields produce thousands of tonnes of petals annually for the global perfume industry β before arriving in the Dades Valley for overnight.
Day 7
Dades Valley to Marrakech via Ait Benhaddou
Depart the Dades Valley and drive west through the Skoura palm oasis, passing the 18th-century Amridil Kasbah. Stop at the UNESCO World Heritage ksar of Ait Benhaddou β whose 1,500-year-old mud-brick towers have served as a backdrop for Gladiator, Game of Thrones, Lawrence of Arabia, and Babel β with a local guide. Cross the Oued Mellah on stepping stones and climb through the six interconnected kasbahs to the granary tower for panoramic views over the valley and Atlas foothills. Ascend the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n'Tichka Pass (2,260 m) β Morocco's highest paved mountain pass β with sweeping panoramic views over the great Atlas ranges. Descend through traditional Berber villages into Marrakech. Private transfer to Marrakech Menara Airport or hotel as required.
