Day-by-Day Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival in Casablanca — City Tour

On arrival in Casablanca, Morocco’s largest city and its main economic hub, visit the Hassan II Mosque, one of the largest mosques in the world, with a minaret rising over 200 meters and a section of the prayer hall floor that opens to reveal the Atlantic Ocean below. Completed in 1993, it remains one of the few mosques in Morocco open to non-Muslim visitors, and the guided tour offers a close look at its vast hand-carved details, marble flooring, and titanium doors.

Explore the corniche, Casablanca’s seafront promenade, or the smaller old medina near the port before settling in for the night.

Overnight in Casablanca.

Day 2: Casablanca to Chefchaouen — via Rabat

Drive to Rabat, Morocco’s elegant capital, for a guided visit including the Kasbah of the Udayas, a fortified old town overlooking the Atlantic with narrow blue-and-white streets, and the Hassan Tower, an unfinished 12th-century minaret intended to be the tallest in the world.

Continue north into the Rif Mountains to Chefchaouen, Morocco’s famous blue city, arriving as the late afternoon light brings out the full range of blue tones across the old town’s walls and stairways.

Overnight in Chefchaouen.

Day 3: Chefchaouen to Fes

Spend the morning exploring Chefchaouen’s blue-washed streets and squares at a relaxed pace — Plaza Uta el-Hammam, the tanneries and wool workshops, and the Spanish Mosque on the hillside above town, reached by a short walk with panoramic views over the blue rooftops below.

In the afternoon, drive south to Fes, arriving with time to settle into your riad or hotel before dinner.

Overnight in Fes.

Day 4: Fes — Guided City Tour

Spend the day exploring Fes el Bali with a local guide, one of the largest car-free urban areas in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1981. Highlights include the Bou Inania Madrasa, an exceptional example of Marinid-era craftsmanship; the historic Chouara Tannery, where leather has been dyed by hand for centuries; and the area around the University of Al Quaraouiyine, founded in 859 and recognized as the oldest continuously operating institution of higher education in the world.

Beyond the landmarks, the walk through the medina offers a genuine sense of daily life — coppersmiths, weavers, spice merchants, and bakers carrying dough to the neighborhood’s communal oven.

Overnight in Fes.

Day 5: Fes to Merzouga — via the Middle Atlas & Ziz Valley

Drive into the Middle Atlas Mountains through Ifrane and Midelt, then descend through the Ziz Valley, where the road follows a long ribbon of palm groves and traditional villages along the Ziz River, toward Merzouga.

In the late afternoon, ride by camel into the dunes of Erg Chebbi as the sun sets, arriving at your desert camp for mint tea, a traditional dinner, and an evening of Berber music around the fire beneath a sky full of stars.

Overnight in a private desert camp near Merzouga.

Day 6: Merzouga to Dades Valley — via the Todra Gorges

Wake early for sunrise over the dunes before heading to the Todra Gorges, a dramatic limestone canyon with cliffs rising over 300 meters, popular with rock climbers from around the world, then continuing to the Dades Valley, known for its terraced fields and unusual wind-carved rock formations.

Overnight in a guesthouse in the Dades Valley.

Day 7: Dades Valley to Marrakech — via Ouarzazate & Ait Ben Haddou

Drive through Ouarzazate and stop at Ait Ben Haddou, a fortified UNESCO World Heritage kasbah built almost entirely from rammed earth, before crossing the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka pass to Marrakech, arriving by evening with time to settle in before dinner.

Overnight in Marrakech.

Day 8: Marrakech — City Tour & Departure

Spend the morning exploring Marrakech, including the souks and the Bahia Palace, celebrated for its ornate courtyards and painted ceilings, before your private tour comes to an end and you are transferred to Marrakech airport for your departing flight.
