Activity Details
As your plane descends, the shimmering Atlantic Ocean greets you, and soon, you will step foot onto Moroccan soil. Casablanca, a city where modernity meets tradition, will be your first encounter with this spellbinding land. After a warm welcome, you will visit the grand Hassan II Mosque, a masterpiece of Moroccan architecture, standing majestically against the crashing waves. Later, a stroll through the city’s bustling Corniche will introduce you to the coastal charm of Casablanca. The evening will be yours to savor a traditional Moroccan dinner before retreating to your comfortable accommodation.
As the sun rises over the Atlantic, you will embark on your journey toward Rabat, Morocco’s serene capital. Here, you will explore the grand Royal Palace, the historic Kasbah of the Udayas, and the striking Hassan Tower, standing as an unfinished yet poetic reminder of the past. With the Atlantic breeze still fresh in your memory, you will continue toward Fes, the spiritual heart of Morocco. As the evening blankets the city, the ancient walls of Fes will whisper stories of centuries past.
Today, you will lose yourself in the labyrinthine streets of Fes el-Bali, the old medina, where every alleyway tells a tale. The medieval Al-Qarawiyyin University, the oldest in the world, will captivate your imagination. The scent of leather will lead you to the Chouara Tannery, where artisans craft in the same way their ancestors did. By the time evening falls, the soulful echoes of the call to prayer will transport you to another era.
Leaving Fes behind, you will journey southward through the ever-changing landscapes of Morocco. The alpine town of Ifrane, known as the ‘Switzerland of Morocco,’ will offer a surprising contrast with its European-style chalets. As you drive past the towering Cedar Forests of Azrou, you might even spot playful Barbary macaques. Crossing the Middle Atlas Mountains, you will reach Midelt, where a lunch break will prepare you for the spectacular journey ahead. As you continue through the Ziz Valley, palm groves and ancient kasbahs will pave the way to Erfoud, the gateway to the desert. By dusk, the golden dunes of Merzouga will rise before you, signaling the start of your desert odyssey.
Awakening to the silent majesty of the desert, you will embark on a full day of Sahara exploration. You will visit Khamlia village, home to the mesmerizing rhythms of the Gnawa people. A journey through the Erg Chebbi dunes will take you to nomadic settlements, where you will glimpse a life untouched by time. By late afternoon, you will mount a camel and traverse the rolling sands as the setting sun casts an ethereal glow over the Sahara. As night descends, you will gather around a campfire beneath the star-strewn sky, where Berber melodies will weave magic into the desert air.
Today, you will follow the fabled Road of a Thousand Kasbahs toward the cinematic city of Ouarzazate, Morocco’s ‘Hollywood.’ A visit to the legendary Atlas Film Studios will offer insight into the movies filmed against this breathtaking backdrop. Next, you will step into history at the UNESCO-listed Ait Benhaddou, a fortress that has withstood time and served as a backdrop for countless films and TV series. By late afternoon, the winding Tizi n’Tichka Pass will lead you through the High Atlas Mountains, ushering you into the vibrant embrace of Marrakech.

The intricate Bahia Palace, the towering Koutoubia Mosque, and the enchanting Majorelle Garden will leave an indelible mark on your soul. And as you make your way to the airport, the echoes of Morocco’s landscapes, sounds, and stories will linger, promising that one day, you will return.
