Your adventure begins in the mythical city of Marrakech, where tradition and energy merge into one captivating rhythm. Upon your arrival at the airport, our driver will welcome you and escort you to your riad, located in the vibrant heart of the Medina. Depending on your arrival time, you can start exploring the surroundings; the narrow alleys full of scents and colors, the rhythmic sounds of artisans at work, and the laughter echoing in the souks. As evening falls, make your way to the iconic Jemaa el-Fna Square, where storytellers, snake charmers, and food stalls transform the night into a living theatre. Overnight stay in Marrakech.
After breakfast, embark on a full-day guided exploration of the Red City. Your local guide will lead you through centuries of history and architecture. Begin with the Koutoubia Mosque, the city’s landmark, before visiting the Saadian Tombs, a hidden masterpiece rediscovered after centuries.

Stroll through the labyrinthine souks filled with textiles, spices, and lanterns; an experience that awakens all the senses. In the afternoon, step into the peaceful world of the Majorelle Garden, a haven of cobalt blue and exotic plants once owned by Yves Saint Laurent. Return to your riad and enjoy an evening of leisure or dinner at a traditional Moroccan restaurant.
After breakfast, you’ll leave Marrakech behind and head toward the majestic High Atlas Mountains. The winding road over the Tizi n’Tichka Pass offers breathtaking panoramic views and small Berber villages clinging to the slopes. Stop to visit the legendary Kasbah of Aït Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the most famous ksar in Morocco, whose earthen walls have witnessed centuries of caravan trade.

In the afternoon, the landscape begins to change as you approach Erfoud and Rissani, ancient caravan towns on the edge of the desert. By evening, the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi rise before you; endless waves of sand under a vast blue sky.
Here, your camel caravan awaits. As the sun begins to set, ride gently into the dunes, watching the colors shift from gold to crimson. At your luxury desert camp, you’ll be greeted with mint tea and warm hospitality. Enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner by the campfire, followed by Berber drumming under a canopy of stars. Tonight, sleep in your private tent surrounded by the silence of the Sahara; an experience that stays in your heart forever.
Wake early to witness one of nature’s greatest spectacles; the sunrise over the Sahara dunes, bathing the desert in hues of gold and pink. After breakfast, bid farewell to the desert and drive north through the Ziz Valley, a lush corridor of palm groves framed by rugged cliffs. Continue toward Midelt, a mountain town known for its cool climate and apple orchards, where you’ll stop for lunch.
Your route then winds through the cedar forests of Azrou, home to playful Barbary macaque monkeys, before reaching Ifrane, often called “Little Switzerland” for its clean streets and European-style architecture. By evening, you’ll arrive in Fes, the spiritual and cultural heart of Morocco. Dinner and overnight in a traditional riad.

Watch craftsmen dye leather in the colorful vats of the Chouara Tanneries, and smell the heady mix of spices and cedar wood in the souks. Fes is a living museum, but also a city full of soul; where faith, knowledge, and craftsmanship intertwine. Overnight in your riad.
After breakfast, leave Fes and head north through the Rif Mountains to the enchanting blue town of Chefchaouen.
