Day by day
Day 1
Your private trip starts when your driver picks you up from your Casablanca hotel. We'll next see the key cultural sites before driving to Rabat, where we'll also do a short city tour. We'll next travel via Meknes to Fes, where we'll spend the night in a riad or hotel.
Day 2
We'll start the day by touring Morocco's oldest city, weaving through its alleyways and small streets. We'll start our tour at the Royal Palace entrance, then go on to the Jewish headquarters, where the first Mellah was established in Morocco in the 16th century. We will make sure that you see all of the cultural and historical sites, like the famous Al Qaraouine University, which is the oldest in the area. The tanneries, the Attarine museum, and the Moulay Idriss tomb will also be visited. Following lunch, you'll tour many cooperatives before enjoying a breathtaking panoramic view of Fes' Medina before retiring for the night to your riad.
Day 3
Your journey will continue with a drive to Azrou, where we will stop to see the cedar forest, which is home to the Berber apes. Our journey from there takes us across Midelt and the Ziz valley, with a small lunch or drink break in Erfoud, through Rissani, and ultimately to Merzouga . Arriving there, we'll exchange our 4x4s for camels (optional) and tour the Erg Chebbi area with a skilled camel guide. It will take us around 90 minutes to get to the campground. Once there, we will enjoy a spectacular sunset over the dunes before our supper is served around a campfire. This night will be spent in the desert in Berber tents.
Day 4
We'll get an early start to watch the dawn over the dunes before checking into a nearby motel to rest. Following breakfast, we'll travel via Rissani and Tinghir to the Todra gorge, Morocco's tallest and narrowest valley. Following lunch at the gorge, we'll travel through the Dades valley, stopping to see the geological formation called "Monkey Toes" by locals. We'll stay in Dades Valley overnight, with a free supper and breakfast the following morning.
Day 5
Our private trip continues with a drive towards Kalaat Mgouna and Ouarzazate, regarded as "the African Hollywood." We could go to the local film studio and the Kasbah while we're here (in Fortress). We'll next go to Ait Ben Haddou to see the local Kasbah, Morocco's biggest and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We'll continue on through the High Atlas Mountains to Marrakesh, where we'll spend the night in a traditional riad in the medina.
Day 6
We will tour Marrakesh, Morocco's "red city," after breakfast. The Majorelle Gardens, the Koutoubia Tower, the Saadian tombs, and the Bahia Palace are all included in your guided trip. Before returning to Casablanca, you'll have the afternoon free to roam about the city or do anything you like. The cost of this Morocco trip is determined by the number of passengers.

The route

When to go
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the most comfortable seasons for this route: warm days, cool desert nights and clear light over the dunes. Summer brings very hot afternoons in the south, so days start early and rest hours fall in the middle of the day. Winter is quiet and bright, with cold nights in the desert and possible snow on the High Atlas passes.
