Welcome to Morocco! We begin with a visit to Casablanca’s architectural marvel, the Hassan II Mosque. Then, we journey to the dignified capital, Rabat, to explore the historic Hassan Tower and the serene Kasbah of the Udayas. Our final leg ascends into the Rif Mountains to the mesmerizing “Blue City” of Chefchaouen, where you’ll settle into your riad amidst its iconic blue-washed streets.
Enjoy a morning to immerse yourself in the tranquil, photogenic beauty of Chefchaouen. Wander its vibrant blue medina, shop in its colorful markets, and soak in the relaxed atmosphere. After lunch, we embark on a scenic drive south, arriving by evening in the ancient imperial city of Fes, the cultural and spiritual heart of Morocco.
A expert local guide unlocks the secrets of the Fes medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Discover the Royal Palace gates, the historic Jewish Mellah, and the vibrant souks. Witness the iconic Chouara Tannery from a terrace and explore architectural gems like the Al-Attarine Madrasa. The tour culminates with a panoramic view of the entire medina from a fortress vantage point.
We depart Fes, crossing the Middle Atlas Mountains. Stops include the alpine town of Ifrane and the Cedar Forest to see Barbary macaques. The landscape transforms as we descend through the vast Ziz Valley oasis towards the Sahara. In Merzouga, a camel trek carries you into the golden Erg Chebbi dunes for a breathtaking sunset. Your night is spent in a luxury desert camp with dinner, music, and stars.
Greet the day with a spectacular desert sunrise. After returning to Merzouga, we journey west, potentially stopping at Rissani’s traditional market.
