Kick off your Moroccan adventure in Casablanca, the country’s buzzing economic hub. After landing at Mohammed V Airport, visit the awe-inspiring Hassan II Mosque, its minaret towering over the Atlantic waves. Stroll along the Corniche or sip a drink at Rick’s Café, channeling the romance of the classic film. Spend your first night soaking in the city’s modern-meets-traditional vibe.
Head to Rabat, Morocco’s elegant capital, to explore its regal landmarks: the unfinished Hassan Tower, the picturesque Kasbah of the Udayas, and the hauntingly beautiful Chellah Ruins. Then, journey north to Chefchaouen, the famed “Blue Pearl” nestled in the Rif Mountains. Lose yourself in its cobalt alleyways and savor the tranquil mountain air.
Start with a sunrise hike to the Spanish Mosque (optional) for panoramic views over Chefchaouen. Then, step back in time at Volubilis, Morocco’s best-preserved Roman ruins. Continue to Meknes, where you’ll marvel at the monumental Bab Mansour gate and the city’s imperial past. Arrive by evening in Fes, the soul of Moroccan culture.
With a local guide, navigate the UNESCO-listed Fes el-Bali, the world’s largest living medieval city. Discover the ancient Al Quaraouiyine University, watch artisans at work in the Chouara Tanneries, and admire the intricate Bou Inania Madrasa. Explore the Jewish Quarter (Mellah) and the opulent Royal Palace before an optional feast of Moroccan delicacies.
Venture south through the Middle Atlas Mountains, passing Ifrane (Morocco’s “Little Switzerland”) and the Cedar Forests (where wild monkeys roam). Descend into the desert via the breathtaking Ziz Valley, arriving in Merzouga just in time for a sunset camel ride into the golden Erg Chebbi dunes. Spend the night in a luxury desert camp, serenaded by Berber music under a blanket of stars.
Greet the dawn over the dunes, then visit Rissani, a historic trading town with a lively market. Journey through the Todra Gorge, where 300-meter cliffs frame a winding river oasis. End the day in the Dades Valley, famed for its surreal “Monkey Fingers” rock formations and sweeping vistas.
Wind through the Route of a Thousand Kasbahs to Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO-listed clay fortress featured in Gladiator and Game of Thrones. Pause in Ouarzazate (Morocco’s film capital) before crossing the High Atlas Mountains via the dramatic Tizi n’Tichka Pass, arriving in vibrant Marrakech by evening.
Delve into Marrakech’s magic: the buzzing Jemaa el-Fnaa square, the iconic Koutoubia Mosque, the lavish Bahia Palace, and the hidden Saadian Tombs. Unwind in the Majorelle Garden (a burst of cobalt and fascinating flora) and visit the Yves Saint Laurent Museum. The evening is yours—bargain in the souks or enjoy a dinner with traditional entertainment.
Trade the desert for the Atlantic on a day trip to Essaouira, a breezy port town with a UNESCO-listed medina. Walk the Skala Fortress ramparts, browse argan oil cooperatives, and feast on fresh seafood by the harbor. Return to Marrakech by nightfall.
Tailor your day:
Soar on a sunrise hot air balloon over the Atlas foothills.
Cook like a local in a Moroccan culinary class.
Relax in a steamy hammam spa.
Venture to the stunning Ouzoud Waterfalls.
Return to Casablanca for a farewell dinner, with free time to stroll the Corniche or pick up last-minute souvenirs.
