Your adventure begins in Tangier, the northern gateway between Europe and Africa. After breakfast, head south into the stunning Rif Mountains to reach Chefchaouen, famously known as the “Blue Pearl” of Morocco. Spend your afternoon wandering through the picturesque medina, where every alley and staircase seems dipped in blue. Don’t miss the Kasbah and the vibrant Plaza Uta el-Hammam. In the evening, a short walk to the Spanish Mosque offers panoramic views of the sunset over the town and surrounding hills.
After a leisurely breakfast, depart Chefchaouen and drive towards the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis. Stroll among the remarkably preserved mosaics and columns that whisper stories of an empire long gone. Continue to Meknes for a brief tour of its imperial gates, including Bab Mansour and the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail. By late afternoon, you’ll arrive in Fes, one of Morocco’s oldest and most culturally rich cities, where you’ll settle into a traditional riad in the heart of the medina.
Dive deep into the cultural labyrinth of Fes with a full-day guided tour. The UNESCO-listed Fes el-Bali medina is a maze of narrow alleys, artisan workshops, and historic madrassas. Visit the ancient Al Quaraouiyine University, the vibrant tanneries, and the Nejjarine Fountain. Each corner of Fes reveals something unique, from the smell of spices to the sounds of hammering copper. The evening is perfect for enjoying mint tea on a rooftop terrace overlooking the medina.
Today is a scenic drive day as you leave the bustle of Fes behind and head through the Middle Atlas Mountains. Stop in Ifrane, often called the “Switzerland of Morocco” for its alpine architecture and clean streets. In Azrou, wander among cedar forests and, if lucky, spot wild Barbary macaques. After lunch in Midelt, continue through Ziz Valley toward Merzouga, the gateway to the Sahara. Arrive in time to watch the dunes turn gold at sunset before settling in for the night near the desert edge.
This is the highlight for many! After a relaxed morning, gear up for your Sahara adventure. Ride a camel or 4×4 deep into the sweeping Erg Chebbi dunes. As the sun sets, the sand glows a fiery orange—truly a sight to remember. In the heart of the desert, spend the night in a traditional Berber camp. Enjoy a delicious tagine dinner, local drumming under the stars, and one of the clearest night skies you’ll ever see.
Wake early to catch the magical sunrise over the dunes, then return to Merzouga for breakfast. The journey continues through desert plains and rocky landscapes toward the impressive Todra Gorge. These towering canyon walls are a favorite for hikers and climbers alike. After exploring, head into the lush Dades Valley, famous for its winding roads and striking rock formations. Spend the night in a local guesthouse nestled in the valley.

After breakfast, drive through the Valley of Roses and the Skoura oasis to reach Ouarzazate, Morocco’s “Hollywood.” You can stop by the Atlas Film Studios or visit Taourirt Kasbah before continuing to the UNESCO site of Ait Benhaddou. This fortified village, made of earthen clay, has served as a backdrop for films like Gladiator and Game of Thrones. Cross the High Atlas Mountains via the breathtaking Tizi n’Tichka Pass and arrive in Marrakech in the evening.
Today is yours to discover the sights, sounds, and scents of Marrakech. Start in the buzzing Jemaa el-Fnaa square and dive into the colorful souks nearby. Visit the beautiful Bahia Palace, the tranquil Majorelle Garden, or the Saadian Tombs. Whether you choose to sip coffee in a rooftop café or get pampered in a traditional hammam, the Red City offers a perfect end to your Moroccan journey.
Depending on your flight time, you may have a bit more time to soak in Marrakech’s energy with a morning stroll or last-minute shopping. Then it’s off to the airport with your heart full of memories—from mountain towns and ancient medinas to desert nights under starry skies.
