Tour Plan
Your adventure begins in Fes, a city that feels like a living storybook. As you step off the plane at Fes Sais Airport, our friendly guide will be waiting, ready to welcome you with Moroccan warmth. We’ll whisk you away to a charming riad tucked within the ancient medina.
If time allows, get your first taste of Fes—where every alley hums with history and the scent of spices hangs in the air.
Today, Fes opens its heart to you. After breakfast, we explore the city’s royal quarters, the Mellah (Jewish quarter), and panoramic viewpoints overlooking the medina’s labyrinth of rooftops.
Then, we step back in time.
Wandering the medina of Fes feels like walking through a dream. The air is rich with incense, and every twist reveals potters, weavers, and centuries-old traditions. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this city hasn’t aged—it’s simply timeless.
We leave Fes behind and journey south through Morocco’s ever-changing landscapes.
First stop: Ifrane, the “Little Switzerland” of Morocco, with alpine charm and crisp mountain air. In the cedar forests of Azrou, keep your eyes peeled for playful Barbary macaques.
As we descend through the Ziz Valley—lush with date palms—you’ll feel the Sahara calling. By sunset, we arrive in Merzouga, where golden dunes rise like waves. Tonight, rest in a hotel just steps from the sands of Erg Chebbi.
Rise to the call of the dunes. Today is all about desert discovery.
We’ll circle the vast Erg Chebbi dunes, visit nomadic families, explore fossil-rich oases, and listen to hypnotic Gnawa rhythms in Khamlia village. This is Morocco raw and real.
As the sun begins its slow descent, we mount camels and glide across the sands to your desert camp. Tonight, dine under stars and sleep in traditional tents—the kind desert nomads have used for generations.
Wake early for a breathtaking desert sunrise—a moment of peace you’ll carry forever.
After breakfast, we bid the desert farewell and head to Rissani’s market (if timing is right). Next, the Todra Gorges await: towering red cliffs carved by ancient rivers, a haven for climbers and dreamers alike.
We end the day in the serene Dades Valley, where the mountains blush pink at dusk.
Start the day with sweeping views over the Dades Valley—home to monkey-toe rock formations and rustic kasbahs. We travel along the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs to reach the remote Boutaghrar Valley.
Here, time slows. Nomads still live in cave dwellings, mountains rise dramatically, and wild roses bloom in spring. After lunch in the Rose Valley, we continue through the Skoura palm grove before reaching Ouarzazate for dinner and rest.
Ouarzazate isn’t just a city—it’s a backdrop for epic films. We visit the Taourirt Kasbah and the famous Atlas Studios before heading to Ait Ben Haddou, Morocco’s most iconic ksar.
Wander this ancient fortress, a UNESCO treasure where Gladiator and Game of Thrones came to life.
In the afternoon, we wind through the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka pass. Every curve reveals new colors, new wonders. We reach Marrakech by sunset, where the magic continues.
Today is yours to explore. Wander the souks, visit Bahia Palace, or simply get lost in the rhythm of Jemaa el-Fnaa, where snake charmers, storytellers, and food vendors fill the square with joy.
Need suggestions? We’re always here to help you discover the city’s hidden gems.
After breakfast, we begin our scenic journey back to Fes. The Middle Atlas reveals lush valleys, Berber villages, and towering peaks. We’ll pause in Beni Mellal and Khenifra for rest and a traditional lunch before continuing north.
If time and season allow, we may detour to the Ouzoud Waterfalls, Morocco’s tallest and most enchanting cascade.
By evening, we’re back in Fes, where your journey began.
Enjoy a relaxed morning before we transfer you to the airport. We'll assist you with your check-in and send you off with heartfelt thanks and warm memories.
Morocco may be behind you, but its stories will travel with you always.
