The complete Morocco, at a pace that leaves room to breathe. Twelve days from Casablanca and back that cover the north, the four imperial cities, the Sahara, the gorges and kasbahs of the south, Marrakech and the Atlantic coast at Essaouira.
Two nights in Chefchaouen, two in Fez, one under tents at Merzouga, three in Marrakech, plus a free day in Fez to shop or take a cooking class. Private van and driver throughout, local guides in the big cities.
Every step below is a default, not a rule. Tell us what to change and we rebuild the route around you.
Pickup at Casablanca airport and, time permitting, a visit of the Hassan II Mosque, one of the most richly decorated in North Africa. Lunch in Rabat, the capital, then the road into the Rif mountains. Night in Chefchaouen.
A whole day in the blue pearl of Morocco: breakfast in the medina, the washed lanes and painted doorways, the view over the town from the hills above, and the calm, cool air of the Rif. Night in Chefchaouen.
Morning at the Roman ruins of Volubilis, two thousand years old, with their mosaics and triumphal arch, then lunch in the holy town of Moulay Idriss. A tour of imperial Meknes in the afternoon, and arrival in Fez in the evening. Night in a riad.
The old medina, one of the largest walled cities in the world: lanes of fruit, spices and Berber carpets, the gates of the Royal Palace, the potters and the tanneries, and the story of the dynasties that built the city. Night in Fez.
A day to yourselves in Fez: the souks, a cooking class, photographs in the medina, or simply the terrace of the riad. Dinner at the hotel.
Over the Middle Atlas through forests, sculpted rock and Berber villages, with lunch in Midelt, known for its fossils and minerals. Arrival in Merzouga, gateway to the Sahara, and camel ride into the dunes for sunset. Sahara dinner and night in Berber tents.
Camel trek at sunrise, then the green oases in the bare desert, the town of Tinejdad and the Todra Gorges with their high orange cliffs. Through the earthen villages of the Berber south to the Dades valley. Dinner and night in a small hotel across the river.
A walk in the Dades valley, then Kelaa M’Gouna and the Valley of Roses, the palm oasis of Skoura and the Kasbah of Amridil, with a Berber tagine for lunch. Arrival in Ouarzazate, gate of the Sahara. Dinner and night at the hotel.
The Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, seen in Lawrence of Arabia, Gladiator and Prison Break, then lunch and the crossing of the High Atlas. Check in at your riad, and in the evening Jemaa el Fna square: storytellers, musicians, grilled food and mint tea on a terrace above the crowd. Dinner at the riad.
A guided day in the southern imperial city: the Koutoubia Mosque, the Bahia Palace, the Saadian tombs, the Majorelle Garden, and the souks and workshops of the medina. Night in Marrakech.
The Atlantic for the day: the fishing port of Essaouira, its blue boats, the ramparts, the medina and the long beach to the south. Return to Marrakech in the evening. Dinner at the hotel.
