Tour itinerary
Today you will arrive to Casablanca and meet your guide and driver outside the terminal building to start your Moroccan adventure.
Once you are connected, you can head in to the city of Casablanca and get things squared away. Visit the Hassan II Mosque, the 2nd largest in Africa and 7th largest in the world and one of the few mosques in the world that non-Muslims may enter.
You can spend some time before or after having a meal, getting things settled at the bank machine or topping up some data with a new SIM card.
As you like you can stop for lunch.
When you are ready, take a 1.5 hr drive north to Rabat. The capital city of Morocco, here you find a cosmopolitan city with broad avenues and white buildings. Enjoy a walk through the Kasbah Oudayas and see their gardens and lovely view over the Atlantic.
Take in the mausoleum of Hassan II, the previous King of Morocco and the grounds where an unfinished minaret rests.
Or you can go to Riad and enjoy a quiet evening of relaxing and leave the sightseeing in Rabat until tomorrow.
As you depart Rabat in the morning, you’ll head east through gently rolling countryside. The drive offers a glimpse of rural Morocco—olive groves, farmland, and small villages passing by as the Atlantic influence gives way to the heart of the country.
By late morning, the journey reaches Meknes, one of Morocco’s four imperial cities and a quieter, more relaxed counterpart to Fes.
You can choose to stop and explore the historic core, with time to admire the monumental Bab Mansour, considered one of the most beautiful gates in Morocco.
A short walk reveals remnants of Sultan Moulay Ismail’s grand vision for the city, including royal granaries, old stables, and lively local squares that still pulse with daily life.
Next you’ll continue north toward the rolling hills of the Zerhoun region, arriving at the remarkable Roman ruins of Volubilis.
Set amid olive trees with sweeping views of the countryside, this UNESCO World Heritage Site offers a step back nearly 2.000 years.
During a private guided tour, travellers explore impressively preserved mosaics, triumphal arches, and the remains of Roman villas, learning how this once-thriving outpost functioned at the edge of the Roman Empire.
After a 1 hour visit to Volubilus, the journey continues to Fes, Morocco’s spiritual and cultural capital.
As the city comes into view, minarets and ancient walls hint at the medieval medina within.
Arrival is typically in the late afternoon or early evening, just as the city begins to glow in the softer light of day’s end.
Drive time: 4 hours, plus sightseeing and meal stops
Your local guide will be at your accomodation 9 am – you’ll be done around 4 pm

Following your tour you will have some time to relax in the hotel.
Today you will cross the mid Atlas Mountains and then reach Ifrane which is nicknamed the Switzerland of Morocco because it looks and feels like the central European country.
We will take a tea break in Ifrane and marvel at its gardens and then continue to the biggest cedar forest in the country in the Berber town of Azrou, where you can mingle with the native Barbary macaque monkeys who inhabit the area.
Then crossing the green pastures of mid Atlas Mountains which are inhabited by nomads, you’ll stop for lunch at Midelt, the apple capital of Morocco.
After lunch, we will drive up to 1,990m above sea level and continue along Tafilalt, the largest oasis in Morocco, located in Ziz Valley, also known as Medjool after the famous premium dates.
You’ll stop a few times to enjoy panoramic views of the area covered in palm trees for as long as the eye can see.
You will have the choice between a camel ride or a 4WD ride on the sand dunes to a spot from where you’ll see the sun set before reaching desert camp for the night.
Drive time : 7.5 hours
You’ll be up early with the sun as the camp staff will awaken you in time to run out and catch the sunrise. Nothing says peace on earth like starting a new day in the silent dunes of the Sahara.
Enjoy breakfast in camp and then head out in 4×4’s to meet your car.
You’ll carry on along the Valley of a Thousand Kashbahs. Stop in to see how fossils are excavated and made into material goods, and also stop to see a traditional and ingenious method of desert irrigation called Khetteras.
Visit El Khorbat for lunch, a unique oasis village with a fascinating story and a wander through a local Berber museum.
About an hour down the road you will have a chance to visit Todgha Gorge, cut through the mountains to create stunning 350 m sheer rock cliffs. Take a a walk along the river bed and see if you can spot the climbers.
Next stop is your hotel in nearby Dades Valley. Enjoy dinner in the hotel tonight.
Drive time: 4 hrs
The morning begins in the cool air of the Dades Valley.
As the road climbs out of the valley, it passes the famous Dades gorges and switchbacks, offering sweeping views back over dramatic rock formations and scattered villages clinging to the hillsides.

Valley of Roses near Kelaat M’Gouna.
Year-round the valley is lush with fields, orchards, and kasbahs.
Small roadside cooperatives sell rose products and local crafts, making for an easy and pleasant stop.
Ouarzazate, often called the “Hollywood of Morocco.”
Historic Kasbah Taourirt or the nearby film studios.
Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah – backdrop to many modern movies and a chance to scale the village to the top for an overlook.
High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka Pass, one of the highest mountain passes in North Africa.
Descending from the mountains, the air grows warmer and the terrain softer. Olive groves and plains replace rocky peaks as Marrakech comes into view.
Traffic increases, motorbikes appear, and the energy noticeably builds. Pink walls, bustling streets, and the hum of daily life will bring Marrakech to life.
