Your Moroccan adventure begins with a visit to the magnificent Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, one of the largest mosques in the world, perched right on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. Marvel at its intricate tilework, carved cedarwood, and soaring minaret. Afterwards, enjoy a scenic coastal drive to Rabat.

Cap off the day with a short, scenic walk up to the Spanish Mosque for a breathtaking panoramic sunset over the azure town
Enjoy a relaxed, peaceful morning soaking in Chefchaouen’s calm atmosphere before heading south through scenic countryside toward Fes, Morocco’s oldest imperial city.

Visit the ancient Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque & University (the oldest operating university in the world), the exquisitely decorated Attarine Madrasa, and the famous Chouara Tannery, where leather is still dyed using centuries-old traditional methods.
Prepare for an incredible shift in scenery! Head south through Ifrane—often called “The Switzerland of Morocco”—and stop in the cedar forests of Azrou to spot native Barbary macaques. Traverse the Middle Atlas Mountains through Midelt before descending into the dramatic Ziz Valley, home to thousands of lush date palms. Arrive at the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi in Merzouga by late afternoon. Mount your camel for a trek across the sands at sunset, arriving at a luxury desert camp for an authentic dinner and a night under a sea of stars around the campfire.
Awake early to witness a breathtaking sunrise over the Sahara dunes. After breakfast, journey toward Rissani to visit its lively traditional market. Continue west to the spectacular Todra Gorge, where 300-meter-high sheer limestone cliffs form a dramatic canyon popular with climbers and hikers. Later, drive into the winding Dades Valley, famous for its bizarre rock formations known as the “Monkey Fingers” and historic mudbrick kasbahs.
Travel along the famed “Road of a Thousand Kasbahs,” passing through Kelaat M’Gouna (The Valley of Roses) to Ouarzazate, the Hollywood of Africa.

Finish your day at the world-renowned Jemaa el-Fnaa Square, where storytellers, musicians, and food stalls turn the plaza into an open-air theater.
Enjoy a flexible day tailored to your personal rhythm. Relax with a traditional Moroccan Hammam & Spa session, or stroll through the iconic Majorelle Garden and the adjacent Yves Saint Laurent Museum. Alternatively, use the day to shop for souvenirs or sip mint tea on a rooftop cafe overlooking the bustling rooftops of the medina.
Enjoy your final morning in Morocco with a relaxed breakfast. Depending on your flight schedule, take care of any last-minute shopping before your private driver transfers you to Marrakech Menara Airport (RAK) or Casablanca Mohammed V Airport (CMN) for your departure home.
