Tour Plan

Your adventure begins the moment you arrive in Marrakech. After settling into your accommodation, you’ll be introduced to the city's vibrant atmosphere, where centuries-old traditions meet modernity. Marrakech is a treasure trove of historical landmarks and cultural gems. Explore the Bahia Palace, a masterpiece of Moroccan architecture, with its lush gardens and intricate tilework. Take a stroll through the lively medina, where the narrow alleyways are filled with the scent of spices, and local artisans showcase their craftsmanship. As the day progresses, visit the iconic Koutoubia Mosque, whose towering minaret is an unmistakable symbol of Marrakech. The bustling Djemaa El Fna square comes alive at sunset, with street performers, food vendors, and musicians creating an unforgettable experience. This is just the beginning of your journey through Morocco, setting the stage for the adventures ahead.
After breakfast, depart Marrakech and journey into the stunning High Atlas Mountains. The road winds through the Tizi-N-Tichka pass, offering breathtaking views of the mountain landscapes. Along the way, you’ll stop at small Berber villages where life has remained unchanged for centuries. As you continue, you'll visit the Telouet Kasbah, a lesser-known gem nestled in the mountains, providing a glimpse into the country’s rich history. The highlight of the day is Ait-Ben-Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This ancient fortified village, with its towering earthen buildings, has been the backdrop for many famous films. Spend time exploring the labyrinth of narrow streets and the well-preserved kasbahs before heading to Ouarzazate, known as the “Hollywood of Africa” for its film studios. The night is spent here, allowing you to rest and prepare for the next day's adventure.
Begin your day with a visit to the palm groves of Skoura, a lush oasis in the middle of the desert. As you wander through the towering palms, you’ll discover the impressive Amridil Kasbah, a living museum that offers a glimpse into traditional Moroccan life. The kasbah’s detailed architecture and its strategic location along ancient caravan routes make it a fascinating stop on your journey. Continue your tour through the picturesque Rose Valley, where the fragrant scent of blooming roses fills the air during the season. As the landscape transitions from greenery to rocky terrain, you’ll arrive in the Dades Valley, known for its dramatic rock formations and stunning gorges. The winding road through the valley reveals breathtaking views at every turn. As night falls, enjoy a peaceful stay in a local hotel, surrounded by the natural beauty of the region.
Set out early as the road leads you to the magnificent Todra Gorges, where towering cliffs create a natural spectacle that will leave you in awe. The gorges are a haven for rock climbers, but even if you’re not scaling the cliffs, the beauty of the area is enough to make it a highlight of your tour. Take time to explore the canyon, walking along the riverbed and admiring the sheer rock walls. After leaving the gorges, the journey takes you through Erfoud, a town famous for its fossils and geological wonders. Here, you can visit a local workshop and learn about the ancient creatures preserved in the stones. Continue on to Merzouga, where the vast dunes of the Sahara Desert await. As the sun begins to set, ride camels across the dunes to your luxury desert camp. Watch the sky turn brilliant shades of orange and pink, and spend the night under the stars, surrounded by the peaceful silence of the desert.
Your day begins with a sunrise over the dunes, a truly magical experience. After breakfast, take a 4x4 tour through the desert, visiting the local nomadic communities who still live a traditional lifestyle in this harsh environment. Learn about their customs and how they’ve adapted to life in the desert. Continue your journey to Khamlia, a small village known for its vibrant Gnawa music. The hypnotic rhythms and soulful songs of the Gnawa people will leave a lasting impression. You’ll also visit Merzouga Lake, a surprising oasis in the desert, home to various species of migratory birds. The day ends with a camel trek back to your camp, where you can relax and soak in the serene beauty of the Sahara. The golden sands and endless horizon make this a truly unique experience that captures the essence of Morocco tours from Marrakech.
Leaving the desert behind, the journey continues through the Ziz Valley, where you’ll marvel at the lush palm groves that line the river. Stop in the town of Midelt for lunch before heading into the Middle Atlas Mountains. The landscape changes dramatically as you ascend, with cedar forests replacing the barren desert. One of the highlights of the day is a stop in Ifrane, a charming town often referred to as the “Switzerland of Morocco” for its alpine-style architecture and cooler climate. The nearby cedar forest is home to the Barbary macaques, and if you’re lucky, you might spot these playful primates. By evening, you’ll arrive in Fes, ready to explore the city’s rich history and culture.
Fes, Morocco’s spiritual and cultural heart, awaits your exploration. Begin your guided tour in the medina, a labyrinth of narrow streets that seem frozen in time. Visit the Al-Qarawiyyin University, the oldest existing university in the world, and admire its stunning architecture. The Bou Inania Madrasa, with its intricate tilework and carved wood, is another highlight. As you wander through the Jewish Quarter, or Mellah, you’ll discover a different side of Fes, with its distinct architecture and history. The city's souks are a sensory overload, filled with vibrant colors, the scent of spices, and the sounds of artisans at work. No visit to Fes is complete without seeing the famous tanneries, where leather is dyed using methods unchanged for centuries.
Leave Fes behind and head towards Meknes, one of Morocco’s imperial cities. Here, you’ll visit the impressive Bab Mansour gate, the Royal Stables, and the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, a 17th-century ruler who left a lasting legacy on the city. Meknes is a more laid-back alternative to Fes, offering a quieter glimpse into Morocco’s imperial past. Next, visit the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The well-preserved mosaics and impressive ruins are a testament to the city’s former glory. After exploring the ruins, continue to Chefchaouen, the famous Blue City nestled in the Rif Mountains. The town’s blue-washed streets and relaxed atmosphere make it a favorite among travelers. Spend the night here, wandering the quiet streets and soaking in the unique charm of this mountain town.
After a leisurely morning in Chefchaouen, where you can take more time to explore the town or relax with a mint tea in one of the local cafes, it’s time to head towards Tangier. The journey through the Rif Mountains offers stunning views as you make your way to the northern coast. Upon arrival in Tangier, you’ll have time to explore this vibrant city where Europe and Africa meet. Tangier has long been a crossroads of cultures, and its unique blend of Moroccan, French, and Spanish influences makes it a fascinating place to visit. Depending on your flight schedule, we will transfer you to the airport, bringing your incredible 9-day tour of Morocco to a close.
