Day-by-day itinerary
Day 1: Fes city tour
Your grand tour begins with a full-day guided exploration of Fes, Morocco's spiritual and cultural capital — the world's largest car-free medina, the ancient Chouara tanneries and the exquisite medieval madrasas of Bou Inania and Al-Attarine.
Day 2: Fes → Meknes → Volubilis → Midelt
This morning you visit the imperial city of Meknes, with its monumental Bab Mansour gate, and the remarkably preserved Roman ruins of Volubilis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You then drive through Ifrane and the Middle Atlas cedar forests to Midelt for the night.
Day 3: Midelt → Ziz Valley → Merzouga
Following the palm-fringed Ziz Valley south, you reach Merzouga and ride camels into the golden Erg Chebbi dunes for a Sahara sunset and an unforgettable night in a traditional desert camp.
Day 4: Merzouga → Rissani → Todra Gorge → Dades
After the desert sunrise, you visit the historic market town of Rissani, then continue to the towering Todra Gorge and the dramatic Dades Valley.
Day 5: Dades → Valley of the Roses → Ouarzazate → Ait Ben Haddou
You travel the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs through the Valley of the Roses to Ouarzazate and the UNESCO kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, one of Morocco's most iconic film locations.
Day 6: Ait Ben Haddou → High Atlas → Marrakech
Crossing the High Atlas via the Tizi n'Tichka pass, you arrive in Marrakech for your first evening on the famous Jemaa el-Fna square.
Day 7: Marrakech city tour
A full-day guided tour reveals the highlights of the Red City — the Koutoubia Mosque, the Bahia Palace, the Saadian Tombs, the Majorelle Garden and the lively souks of the medina.
Day 8: Marrakech → Essaouira / departure
An optional day trip to the breezy Atlantic port of Essaouira, or a transfer for your onward journey, completes your unforgettable Morocco tour.
