The four imperial cities first, the great south after: this loop strings together Marrakech, Casablanca, Rabat, Meknes and Fez before crossing the Middle Atlas to the dunes of Merzouga and coming home by the Route of the Kasbahs.
Half board in city hotels and riads, one night under tents in the desert.
Every step below is a default, not a rule. Tell us what to change and we rebuild the route around you.
Welcome at the airport and transfer to your hotel. Dinner and overnight in Marrakech.
The southern imperial city on foot: the Menara Gardens laid out in the 12th century, the Koutoubia minaret, the Saadian tombs, and Jamaa El Fna square as it lights up at nightfall.
A free morning in Marrakech, then the road north. Casablanca is an open air museum of art deco and Moorish facades from the French era. Dinner and night in Casablanca.
The Corniche and the Hassan II Mosque, then Rabat: Royal Palace, Kasbah of the Oudayas, Mausoleum of Mohammed V and the Hassan Tower. Through fertile valleys to Meknes for Bab Mansour and the mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, and on to Fez for the night.
Through the Blue Gate into one of the best preserved medinas of the Arab world: the royal palace doors, the Nejjarine fountain, the 13th century medersas, the Batha Palace museum, the Chouwara tanneries and the Attarine souk.
Across the Middle Atlas and its cedar forests, lunch in a Berber village, then the long descent to the Sahara. Camels to the camp at sunset, dinner with Berber music, night in the dunes.
Optional sunrise on the dunes, then the Todra Gorges, one of the most spectacular canyons anywhere, and the Route of the Kasbahs. In Ouarzazate, visit the Kasbah Taourirt, once a residence of the Pacha of Marrakech.
Over the Tizi n’Tichka pass and down to Marrakech by noon. Free afternoon. Dinner and night in Marrakech.
Time for the Majorelle Garden and the Yves Saint Laurent museum, the shops of the medina, or an optional day trip to the Ourika valley.
Breakfast at the hotel and transfer to Marrakech Menara airport. End of our services.
