Day 2 : Rabat – Chefchaouen

After breakfast in your hotel, you can start the road to Chefcahouen, get there in the middle of the day, and explore the Medina of  Chefcahouen—a beautiful, unique city with its white-washed walls and blue doors and windows. Unlike many parts of Morocco, Spain occupied this city, and the influences of Spanish civilization and architecture are all around. You’ll also be able to meet locals and walk in this beautiful Medina. Overnight in your Riad.

Day 3: Chefchaouen – Volubilis – Meknes – Fes

After breakfast, we will depart via Volubilis, the Roman ruins, and Moulay Idriss, the holy town. Then, in Meknas, we will tour the Medina, including El Hdim Square, Bab El Mansour, the massive gate that is the entrance to the old city and the Jewish quarter, the Royal Granaries, and the city rampart. We will spend the night in your accommodation.

Day 4: Exploring Fes

After breakfast in your Riad, you'll explore Morocco's oldest city, browsing its alleys and small streets. Our visit starts with the Royal Palace gate, the Jewish headquarters, and the first Mellah ever built in Morocco. We will ensure you visit all the sites with cultural and historical interest, including the famous Al Qaraouine University – the oldest in the region, the Tanneries and the Attarine Museum. After lunch, you'll see the ceramic factory and experience a fantastic panoramic view over Medina of Fes. We'll visit the new city" La Ville nouvelle" in the afternoon for a drink. Overnight in our Hotel/Riad.

Day 5: Fes – Ifrane – Azrou – Midelt – Errachidia – Merzouga

After breakfast, we’ll leave Fes, traveling towards Ifrane, a beautiful mountain village called “the Switzerland of Morocco.” You’ll experience glimpses of the Middle Atlas and Higher Atlas mountains during this journey.  Stopping at Azrou – a Berber village in the middle of the famous cedar forest (the largest in Morocco, you may have the chance to see some Barbary apes. Afterward, we’ll travel through the Tizi Ntalghamt Pass to Midelt and along the magnificent Ziz Gorges carved from volcanic rock. After lunch at your hotel, you’ll travel to Merzouga via Errachidia and Erfoud. You’ll be traveling via the Ziz Gorge, taking in views of the High Atlas plateau, noting how the scenery changes to reveal hints of the desert as you approach the city of Errachidia. Afterward, you’ll travel along the luxuriant Ziz Valley, stopping for panoramic views of Erfoud and Rissani.  Arriving at Merzouga in the afternoon, you’ll be welcomed with a glass of mint tea before checking in to your Riad.

Day 6: Merzouga area and the Camel Trek

After breakfast at the hotel, you can start exploring the area. You’ll visit the Gnawa people, initially enslaved people brought from Sudan, to experience their music and lifestyle, while there’s the lake of Merzouga with its bird populations. You may also want to visit the nomad wire house, where many Berber handicrafts are priced lower than in the big cities. In the afternoon, it’s time for your camel trek, guided by an experienced camel man, as you explore the sand sea of Merzouga. Dinner is in front of the tent where you will spend the night (the camp is equipped with flash toilets and a shower).

Day 7: Merzouga – Todra Gorges – Dades Gorges – Ouarzazate

Your camel man will wake you up early in the morning to watch what well may be the best sunrise of your life, after which you'll camel-trek back to the village of Merzouga, admiring the unique beauty of the spectacular Erg Chebbi dunes – changing with the light as the day progresses. After breakfast in the Riad, you'll leave for Rissani, Tinghir, and Todra gorges – Morocco's highest, narrowest gorges. Lunch in the heart of the gorge precedes a drive through the Dades Valley towards Kalaa M'gouna and Ouarzazate. The route through Dades Valley is the way of the thousand Kasbahs – providing numerous opportunities to take some of your best photographic shots of the trip. We'll stop at Kalaa Mgouna, "the rose city," to purchase the rosewater, making your linen smell good after your trip. Overnight in our Hotel/Riad.

Day 8: Ouarzazate – Ait ben Haddou – High Atlas Mountains – Marrakech – Essaouira

After breakfast, you will enjoy the best views of the valley from one strategic lookout in the mountains; from there, we can appreciate the significant number of kasbahs and the scenic characteristics of each one. Then we continue by a thousand kasbahs road to Ait Ben Haddou, passing the cinema studios. A half an hour's drive from Ouarzazate, we will stop at the ksar (fortified village) of Ait Ben Haddou, where we will visit the famous Kasbah, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Famous films have been shot on this spectacular stage, including Gladiator, Obelix, The Mummy, The Jewel of the Nile, and Games of Thrones—visit the site and time for lunch in town. In the afternoon, ride to Marrakech through the Atlas mountain by Tizi Ntichka with stops to take pictures. On your way to Marrakesh, you will stop at a co-operative of Argan Oil, and overnight accommodation will be in a local Riad.

Day 9: Essaouira-Marrakech

Breakfast is in your Riad before a tour of the town. You’ll visit the Skala Fortress, the port, the souks, and see Thuya wood carved by artisans, walking through the alleys of the Medina and past the hundreds of handicrafts. Essaouira is known for its strong winds most of the year, so it is known as the “City of the Wind”; thus, it attracts surfers worldwide. Essaouira knew many civilizations – including the Portuguese occupation, which affects much of its architecture – however, it remains a small village with much history. Because of its size and characteristic blue doors and washed walls, it is also regarded as Morocco’s “Jewel of the Atlantics. Our visit includes the Mellah – the Jewish headquarters, and the beach. There is an annual “Gnawa music” festival, where many musical groups come from different parts of Africa and the world. Usually, it starts in the third week of June, so if your trip coincides with this, you can extend your stay for an extra day. Today, you will have lunch in a Moroccan way. You will buy fish ‘cooked to order.’ You can walk and explore in the afternoon, then take the road to Marrakech. Overnight accommodation is in Riad in the Medina.

Day 10 : Marrakech – Casablanca
