Your Moroccan adventure launches from the legendary port of Tangier. After meeting your guide, dive into the labyrinthine alleys of the Kasbah, then stand at Cap Spartel where the Atlantic and Mediterranean collide. Uncover the legend of the Hercules Caves, carved by the force of the ocean. The day winds down with a classic mint tea at the famous Café Hafa, overlooking the strategic Strait of Gibraltar.
A stunning drive transports you into the Rif Mountains and the surreal beauty of Chefchaouen, the “Blue Pearl.” Spend the day losing yourself in a world painted in every shade of blue, discovering artisan workshops and hidden plazas. The day’s perfect finale is a short hike up to the Spanish Mosque to witness a panoramic sunset wash over the valley.
Journey through layers of history today, starting with a drive to the ancient Roman city of Volubilis. Here, you’ll walk among mosaics and arches that whisper tales of a fallen empire. Next, we explore the imperial grandeur of Meknes and its monumental Bab Mansour gate. By evening, we arrive in Fes, the spiritual and cultural core of Morocco.
Plunge into the living heart of medieval Morocco with a guided tour of the Fes medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Navigate the sensory kaleidoscope of the souks, witness the ancient process at the Chouara tanneries, and admire the scholarly elegance of the Bou Inania Madrasa. Discover the golden gates of the Royal Palace before an optional evening of traditional music.
The landscape transforms before your eyes on today’s southward journey. We’ll travel from the Swiss-like town of Ifrane, through fragrant cedar forests inhabited by Barbary macaques, and down the dramatic Ziz Valley. As the golden dunes of the Sahara rise to meet us, you’ll begin an iconic camel trek into the Erg Chebbi for an unforgettable night in a Berber desert camp under a sea of stars.
Greet the day with a sunrise that sets the Sahara ablaze with color. After returning from your camp, we visit the authentic local market in Rissani before heading toward the magnificent Todra Gorge. Stand in awe between its sheer 300-meter canyon walls. Your day concludes in the Dades Valley, a geological wonderland of surreal rock formations.
Today we travel the fabled “Road of a Thousand Kasbahs.” Our highlight is the spectacular Ait Ben Haddou, a fortified village and living movie set recognized by UNESCO. After exploring this iconic ksar, we begin the dramatic mountain crossing over the High Atlas via the Tizi n’Tichka pass, descending into the vibrant energy of Marrakech by evening.
