One week from the Atlantic to the Sahara: Rabat, Chefchaouen, Meknes, Fes, Merzouga, the gorges and Ait Ben Haddou.
This is a private tour of 7 days · 6 nights: the vehicle, the driver and the timing are only yours, so you can stop for photos, change hotels or add a night wherever you like. Below you will find the day-by-day itinerary.
Your driver meets you at Mohammed V airport or the train station and takes you to your hotel. If time allows, visit the Hassan II Mosque, built over the ocean with a 210-metre minaret, and stroll along the Corniche at sunset.
Start with the Hassan II Mosque, stop in Rabat for the Hassan Tower and the Udayas kasbah, then drive into the Rif Mountains to the blue town of Chefchaouen.
Leave the Rif for Meknes, the imperial city of Moulay Ismail: the monumental Bab Mansour, the royal stables and the lively El Hedim square. In the late afternoon reach Fes and your riad.
With an official local guide, enter Fes el Bali, the largest car-free medina in the world: the Bou Inania and Attarine madrasas, the Al Quaraouiyine university, the Chouara tanneries seen from the terraces and the artisans' souks of copper, leather and pottery. Free evening.
Cross the Middle Atlas via Ifrane, the 'Switzerland of Morocco', and the cedar forest of Azrou with its Barbary macaques. After lunch in Midelt, descend through the Ziz Valley and its endless palm groves to Merzouga, where camels take you over the dunes to your camp for dinner and a night under the stars.
Wake up early for sunrise over the dunes and ride back to Merzouga for breakfast. Visit the market town of Rissani, cradle of the Alaouite dynasty, then walk in the Todra Gorge near Tinghir before reaching the Dades Valley and its rock formations for the night.
Follow the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs through the Valley of Roses and the palm oasis of Skoura to Ouarzazate. Visit the UNESCO ksar of Ait Ben Haddou, have lunch with a view and cross the High Atlas by the Tizi n'Tichka pass to Marrakech.
