Detailed Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Casablanca to Rabat, then Meknes to Fes

    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.

  2. Day 2

    Touring in Fes

    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.

  3. Day 3

    Fes - Merzouga desert

    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.

    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.

  5. Day 5

    Dades gorge - Ait Benhaddou - Tizi-n-Tichka - Marrakesh

We'll continue on through the High Atlas Mountains to Marrakesh, where we'll spend the night in a traditional riad in the medina.

When to go

Best Time to Travel

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.

What we appreciated most was how he catered to our specific interests, often suggesting stops and experiences that perfectly matched what we were looking for.”

We were all well looked after by our driver Omar, who is courteous, gentle and humourous. He seems to know everyone wherever we visit.”

They planned a perfectly balanced itinerary covering Marrakesh, Tangier, Chefchaouen, and Casablanca, giving us a wonderful mix of culture, history, and relaxation.”
