A week from the north to the south: the blue city, Roman Volubilis, Fes, two nights in the Sahara and the Dades gorges.
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.
Pick-up at the port, airport or your hotel in Tangier. Stop in Tetouan, whose Andalusian medina is a UNESCO site, then drive into the Rif Mountains to Chefchaouen and enjoy your first walk through its blue alleys.
Head south to the Roman ruins of Volubilis and their mosaics, then to Meknes, the city of sultan Moulay Ismail, with the Bab Mansour gate and the El Hedim square. Continue to Fes for the night.
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.
A whole day around the great dunes by 4x4: visit a nomad family for tea, listen to Gnawa music in the village of Khamlia, see the seasonal lake of Dayet Srji and the palm grove of Merzouga. Optional sandboarding or quad. Climb a dune for sunset and spend another night at the camp.
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.
