Overview
Over seven wondrous days, this illuminating interlude through history weaves through Morocco’s most defining landscapes and cities, revealing the Kingdom's depth in all its fascinating layers.
Begin in Casablanca, where contemporary life meets monumental faith at the Hassan II Mosque. From there, travel north to Chefchaouen, set against the Rif Mountains, where blue-washed streets and an unhurried pace create a calm, reflective atmosphere. Continue inland to Fes, a city shaped by learning, craftsmanship, and centuries of uninterrupted tradition.
Our route then turns south, crossing the Middle Atlas and opening into the vastness of the Sahara. In Merzouga, camel travel across the dunes leads to a night in the desert—defined by firelight, music, and a sky unobstructed by time. From the sands, the journey winds through dramatic gorges and fertile valleys to Ouarzazate, where kasbahs and open plains speak to Morocco’s trading and cinematic past.
The experience concludes in Marrakech, a city of constant movement and colour, before returning to Casablanca. Each stage unfolds naturally, allowing space to observe, absorb, and understand the many identities of Morocco.
