Itinerary


As soon as you land at Casablanca airport, your Moroccan journey begins in the best possible way. One of our professional drivers will be waiting to receive you with a warm and personal welcome before organizing transfers to each guest’s accommodation—adapting to varying arrival times and individual bookings.
If most travelers have arrived early and are settled comfortably, we may offer a short sightseeing tour of Casablanca’s must-see landmarks. This could include a visit to the stunning Hassan II Mosque, a walk through the historic Habous Quarter, or a drive along the scenic oceanfront Corniche.
Should arrival times be more spread out, the rest of the day will be at your leisure—perfect for unwinding after your flight. The full city tour will then take place the following morning, once everyone is ready to begin this unforgettable Moroccan experience together.

After enjoying breakfast, we’ll begin with a visit to Casablanca—only if it wasn’t completed the day before. This includes must-see sites such as the impressive Hassan II Mosque, the historic Habous Quarter, and the oceanfront Corniche.
We then continue to Rabat, the political and administrative heart of Morocco, where you’ll explore significant landmarks like the Hassan Tower, the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, and the picturesque Kasbah of the Udayas. Following lunch, our journey leads us through the stunning landscapes of the Rif Mountains, arriving by evening in Chefchaouen. Known for its signature blue-washed walls and tranquil atmosphere, this town offers the perfect setting for an overnight stay.

This morning, we bid farewell to the blue-washed charm of Chefchaouen and set out through the winding roads of the Rif Mountains. Our first destination is Volubilis, the ancient Roman city whose timeless ruins tell stories of empires past.
Next, we arrive in Meknes, one of Morocco’s imperial jewels, where you’ll visit grand gates like Bab Mansour and Bab El Khmis, stroll through El-Hedime Square, and learn about the legacy of Sultan Moulay Ismail. In the late afternoon, we continue to Fes, where your overnight stay awaits in the heart of the spiritual capital.

Begin your day with a warm Moroccan breakfast before diving into the wonders of Fes. With your expert local guide, wander through the maze-like medina—one of the world’s oldest and most vibrant. Discover masterpieces of Islamic architecture, from the scholarly halls of Al Quaraouiyine University to the refined elegance of Bou Inania Madrasa. Don’t miss the sensory experience of the traditional tanneries, alive with color and craftsmanship.
In the afternoon, your journey continues southward. First stop: the alpine town of Ifrane, whose clean streets and European charm offer a surprising contrast to the medinas.As you make your way through the Middle Atlas, the towering cedar forests of Azrou welcome you with fresh air and, if you're lucky, playful Barbary macaques.
By late afternoon, you’ll arrive in Midelt—a quiet mountain town nestled between two ranges—perfect for a restful evening in a tranquil setting.

This morning, we leave the cool air of Midelt behind and head south through ever-changing landscapes—from rugged cliffs to lush oases. The Ziz Valley opens up before us like a ribbon of green cutting through the stone desert, a striking sight you won’t forget.
We stop in Erfoud to soak in the Saharan atmosphere before continuing to Merzouga, where the dunes of Erg Chebbi rise like waves of gold. There, you’ll meet your camel caravan or 4x4 and journey into the stillness of the desert. As night falls, enjoy dinner around the fire and sleep beneath the stars in a traditional desert camp.

As the sun rises over the dunes, we bid farewell to the desert and embark on a breathtaking journey through the south of Morocco. Our first stop is the Todra Gorge, where dramatic cliffs surround a winding river and date palm oasis.
The road then meanders through the Valley of a Thousand Kasbahs, with every bend revealing a new postcard-perfect view. In the late afternoon, we reach Ouarzazate, the cinematic gateway to the Sahara, where history and film collide beneath the desert sky.

After breakfast in Ouarzazate, we begin our journey across the High Atlas Mountains toward Marrakech. Our first stop is the famous Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and iconic fortified village, where many films and series have been shot.
We then climb the winding roads of the Tizi n’Tichka Pass, reaching altitudes of over 2,200 meters, offering breathtaking views of valleys, peaks, and Berber villages clinging to the mountainsides.
In the late afternoon, we arrive in the vibrant city of Marrakech, where you’ll check in and enjoy the evening at leisure.

After breakfast, enjoy a guided tour of Marrakech with a local expert. Discover the city’s rich history and vibrant soul through its most iconic landmarks: the Koutoubia Mosque (exterior), the Saadian Tombs, Bahia Palace, and the colorful souks surrounding Jemaa el-Fna Square.
After the tour, depending on your travel plans, we’ll arrange your transfer to Marrakech Menara Airport or to your accommodation for a final evening in the city.
