Why This Morocco Journey Is Different

Small Groups By Design

Sixteen seats maximum. Not marketing—the riads can't fit more, the desert guide can't manage crowds, and the experiences we've designed don't work for buses. Small groups open doors that stay closed to everyone else.

Access You Can't Google

Private calligraphy sessions in Marrakech riads. Château Roslane wine tastings in Meknes. Desert camps where Berber music isn't performed—it's just the evening. Artisan workshops where the tannery owner's grandfather taught him the trade. These don't appear on booking sites.

Guides Who Live It

Our guides don't recite scripts. They know which route avoids the crowds, which souk seller's family has been there for four generations, which viewpoint catches Chefchaouen at golden hour. That kind of knowledge takes decades, not a guidebook.

Guests Call Us Years Later

When they find old photos and want to relive what they felt. They tell us about the mint tea in Fes, the silence in the Sahara, the moment the hot air balloon lifted over Marrakech. That's the work we do—journeys that stay with you.

Distance: Airport → hotel ~35 km (drive ~45 mins)

Meals: Dinner

Overnight: Le Casablanca Hotel 5★ – Casablanca

Arrive in Casablanca, Morocco’s largest and most contemporary city, where wide boulevards, graceful Art Deco façades and Atlantic light set a confident, modern tone. A private transfer brings you from the airport into leafy neighbourhoods and elegant avenues, easing you gently into the Kingdom of Morocco.

The rest of the day is at leisure, allowing time to rest, reset and settle into Le Casablanca’s calm, residential-style luxury.


Dinner is included at the hotel, a first introduction to Moroccan flavours — fragrant spices, slow-cooked meats and bright salads — served in an unhurried setting.

Day 2 | Casablanca → Marrakech – Into the Red City

Distance: ~245 km (drive ~3 hrs)

Meals: Breakfast,Lunch ,Dinner

Overnight: Es Saadi Palace, Marrakech Resort 5★


After breakfast, travel south across changing landscapes as coastal plains give way to ochre earth. With each kilometer, the energy shifts - scattered villages and palm groves give way to red ramparts and tree-lined avenues of Marrakech announce your arrival in one of Morocco’s most storied cities.


In the afternoon, a curated exploration reveals the city’s different layers.


The Koutoubia Mosque, with its elegant minaret visible from almost every quarter, anchors the skyline and offers an architectural introduction to Almohad style.


The Bahia Palace follows, a 19th‑century residence of carved cedar, zellij tile-work and shaded courtyards that hint at the private luxury of former elites.


A stroll through the Mellah, the historic Jewish quarter, introduces quieter streets, wrought-iron balconies and synagogues that speak of centuries of co-existence.


From here, artisan-filled souks gradually draw you toward Djemaa El Fna. As evening arrives, the square transforms: food stalls, musicians, storytellers and craftspeople combine into one of the world’s most atmospheric public stages. After a sumptuous meal, you return to the calm of Es Saadi Palace, a resort-style retreat in the heart of the city.

Day 3 | Marrakech & the Atlas Mountains

Distance: ~160 km round trip (drive ~4–5 hrs)

Meals: Breakfast

Overnight: Es Saadi Palace, Marrakech Resort 5★


After breakfast, the day turns toward the High Atlas, where Morocco’s rural heart comes into view. Stopping first near Tahnaout, you visit a women-led Argan Oil cooperative, learning how this prized oil is still pressed by hand in a laborious process and how it supports local livelihoods. A pause in the Asni Valley frames classic mountain views and orchards, before you continue to Imlil, a stone-built village at the foot of higher peaks. Here, a gentle walk between Berber hamlets and tea shared with local families offer a glimpse of mountain hospitality shaped by simplicity, generosity and time-honoured custom.


By late afternoon, you return to Marrakech, with the evening at leisure to enjoy the resort or a quiet stroll in the meandering neighbourhoods.

Day 4 | Marrakech → Ait Ben Haddou → Ouarzazate

Distance: ~200 km (drive ~5–6 hrs with stops)

Meals: Breakfast -  Breakfast , lunch,Dinner

Overnight: Le Berbère Palace Hotel 5★ – Ouarzazate

Today’s journey crosses the spine of the High Atlas via the sinuous Tizi n’Tichka Pass. The road winds through terraced slopes, remote villages and shifting vistas, with multiple viewpoints offering sweeping panoramas of valleys and rugged peaks.

Descending on the farther side, the earth turns drier and more arid as you approach Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO-listed ksar (fortified settlement) whose mud-brick towers appear to rise spontaneously from the hillside. An important stop along the caravan routes in the past and a favourite film location at present, it retains an almost timeless, cinematic quality.

Continuing to Ouarzazate, often called the “Gateway to the Sahara,” you arrive at Le Berbère Palace, where gardens, well-lit rooms and cool interiors provide a welcome contrast to the surrounding parched landscape. Experience a hearty dinner at the hotel, served at a pace that suits the day’s long but rewarding drive.

Day 5 | Ouarzazate → Todra Gorge → Merzouga (Sahara Desert)

Distance: ~370 km (drive ~7–8 hrs)

Meals: Breakfast -  Dinner

Overnight: Luxury Oasis Camp – Merzouga

 

A spectacular day leads you from the film studios and kasbahs around Ouarzazate into palm-lined valleys and, eventually, the dunes of the Sahara. The route skirts the lush ribbon of the Drâa and Ziz valleys, where endless date palms and ksars line riverbeds that have sustained life for centuries.


Near Tinghir, Todra Gorge narrows dramatically as sheer limestone walls rise above a cool, shaded canyon. A gentle walk along the riverbed highlights the scale and drama of this natural corridor before you continue east toward Merzouga.


By late afternoon, the sand dunes of Erg Chebbi appear on the horizon, their colours shifting from gold to amber as the sun drops. You transfer to camels for a languid trek into the dunes, arriving at your luxury desert camp in time for sunset. Dinner is served under a sky thick with stars, as silence of the Sahara echoes softly.

Day 6 | Merzouga – Life in the Sahara

right arrow

Distance: ~60 km (4×4 desert circuit)

Meals: Breakfast -  Dinner

Overnight: Luxury Oasis Camp – Merzouga


Early risers witness sunrise over the dunes, a still moment as light slowly reveals the delicate contours of the desert. After breakfast, a 4×4 exploration takes you deeper into the Sahara’s varied landscapes — from fossil-studded plateaus to open hamada and smaller oases.


You visit semi-nomadic Berber families, gaining insight into a way of life shaped by movement, resilience and intimate knowledge of this environment. In Khamlia village, traditional Gnawa musicians bring to life rhythmic, trance-like music rooted in African spiritual heritage; its pulse carrying stories of migration and memory.


As evening falls, you enjoy a second night in the desert, with time to savour both the stillness and the expansive night sky.

Day 7 | Merzouga → Erfoud → Ifrane → Fez

Distance: ~470 km (drive ~8–9 hrs)

Meals: Breakfast

Overnight: Palais Amani 5★ – Fez


Departing the dunes, you travel first toward Erfoud and then north along the lush corridor of the Ziz Valley, where palm groves and small villages cluster along the riverbanks. Gradually the scenery shifts as you climb into the Middle Atlas, where cedar forests, cooler air and broad plateaus replace desert tones with greens and deep earth.


A stop in Ifrane reveals an unexpected side of Morocco: manicured gardens, alpine-style buildings and wide boulevards that feel distinctly European. By evening, you arrive in Fez, Morocco’s cultural and spiritual heart, and settle into Palais Amani, a refined riad where traditional architecture meets understated contemporary comfort.

Day 8 | Fez → Meknes & Volubilis

right arrow

Distance: ~140 km round trip (drive ~3 hrs)

Meals: Breakfast -  Lunch

Overnight: Palais Amani 5★ – Fez

What unfolds today is a trio of distinct histories within easy reach. Meknes, an imperial city with a calmer rhythm than Marrakech or Fez, introduces broad squares and monumental gates. At Bab Mansour, intricate tile-work and stone carving showcase the ambition of Sultan Moulay Ismail’s vision.


A short drive away, Volubilis reveals Morocco’s Roman chapter. Among olive groves and low hills, mosaic floors, columns and arches mark out villas, forums and baths that once stood at the empire’s edge, surprisingly intact and quietly atmospheric.


Lunch is a well-appointed affair at Château Roslane, one of Morocco’s leading vineyards.


A refined meal paired with local wines in an elegant countryside setting. By late afternoon you return to Fez, with the evening free to enjoy your riad and the nearby modern districts at your own pace.

Day 9 | Fez – Morocco’s Cultural Heart

right arrow

Distance: Walking tour

Meals: Breakfast

Overnight: Palais Amani 5★ – Fez

Fez El‑Bali awaits you as one of the world’s largest car-free medieval medinas and a place where time seems layered rather than linear. Over several hours, you navigate its labyrinth of lanes, visiting madrassas, fountains, markets and workshops where crafts are still practised largely by hand.


From vantage points near Al‑Qarawiyyin University — founded in 859 and often cited as one of the world’s oldest continually operating university — you glimpse courtyards that have shaped academia and theology for over a millennium. At Chouara Tannery, a balcony view over honeycomb dyeing pits reveals a raw, authentic craft that has changed little in centuries.


Throughout the day, the intensity of Fez is carefully balanced with pauses in quieter corners and rooftop terraces, ensuring time to absorb rather than fade away in a rush.

Day 10 — Marrakech | Palaces, Minarets & the Square That Never Sleeps

down arrow to open more details
left arrow
No items found.
right arrow

At 10:00 AM, your guide meets you at the riad, and the day unfolds inside Marrakech’s walled heart.

The Koutoubia Mosque rises first—its 12th-century minaret a landmark so elegant it inspired Seville’s Giralda and Rabat’s Hassan Tower. While you can’t step inside, its gardens and square offer the perfect vantage.

Next, the Bahia Palace, commissioned in 1880 by a grand vizier and completed over fifteen years. Its courtyards are a masterpiece of Arabo-Andalusian design—zellij tiles, painted cedar ceilings, fountains, and light that shifts across every surface. Here, you glimpse how Morocco’s elite lived in the 19th century.

Then to Dar El Bacha, the palace of Thami El Glaoui, Marrakech’s flamboyant pasha in the early 1900s. Orange trees scent the courtyard, fountains murmur in quiet corners, a hammam lies hidden in its walls. This was a house built to impress—and it still does.

In the afternoon, you step into Jemâa el-Fna, UNESCO-listed for its living oral traditions. Snake charmers pipe, storytellers gather crowds, acrobats leap, and smoke from food stalls curls into the evening sky. From there, the labyrinthine souks pull you in: alleys stacked with spices, carpets, silver, and textiles, with Souk Smarine at their core.

The order is fluid—your guide adjusts the flow so the city reveals itself naturally. By evening, Marrakech feels less like a destination and more like a stage you’ve been invited onto.

Day 11 — Atlas Mountains | A Table in the Clouds

left arrow
No items found.
right arrow

At 10:00 AM, leave Marrakech behind as the road climbs into the Atlas Mountains, North Africa’s backbone. Snow-dusted peaks rise above valleys of olive groves and walnut trees. Villages cling to the slopes, their red-earth homes blending seamlessly into the land.

Here you meet the Berbers, Morocco’s first people—proud, resilient, and deeply rooted in their traditions. Today they welcome you not as an observer but as a participant. A kitchen is set, spices arranged in small bowls, and together you prepare a meal: chopping vegetables, seasoning with cumin and saffron, stirring simmering tagines. Stories are shared, laughter flows, and the rhythm of daily life is revealed.

When the food is ready, lunch is served family-style, with mountain views stretching beyond the table. The flavors taste richer because your hands helped create them.

It is not just a cooking class—it is an exchange. A moment of connection that lets you sit inside Berber culture, not simply watch from outside. By late afternoon, you return to Marrakech, its pulse greeting you after the quiet of the peaks.

Day 12 — Marrakech → Casablanca | Hot Air, Blue Gardens & Couture Threads

right arrow

Before dawn, you’re collected from your riad for an experience unlike any other. As the first light creeps across the horizon, a hot air balloon inflates beside you, flames roaring against the silence of the plain. Then you rise—slowly, gently—above ochre earth and patchwork fields, the High Atlas glowing white in the distance. The world is still, suspended, and for a moment it feels like time pauses with you.

After the flight, return to Marrakech to refresh before stepping into one of the city’s most beloved sanctuaries: the Majorelle Gardens. Designed in 1924 by French painter Jacques Majorelle and later restored by Yves Saint Laurent, its cobalt-blue walls blaze against tropical palms, lily ponds, and sculptural cacti. Streams trickle, fish dart through pools, and it feels like stepping into an artist’s dream.

In the heart of the garden sits the Berber Museum, where more than 600 objects trace the artistry and traditions of Morocco’s first people—from the Rif to the Sahara. Next is the Yves Saint Laurent Museum, a 43,000-square-foot tribute to the designer’s life and work. Created by Paris-based Studio KO, the building itself is a work of art, its brickwork echoing woven fabric. Inside, YSL’s most iconic pieces sit alongside sketches, photographs, and Moroccan inspirations that shaped his career.

Depending on time, enjoy a final wander through the colorful alleys of the Medina—its stalls brimming with textiles, spices, and crafts—before your road transfer to Casablanca. By evening, you arrive in the coastal city where the journey began.

Day 13 — Casablanca | Departure

Morning arrives quietly in Casablanca, the city where your journey first began. After breakfast, your driver will meet you at the hotel for a private transfer to the airport, ensuring a seamless drop-off as you prepare to board your flight — whether it’s heading back home or onward to your next destination.

Though the itinerary ends here, Morocco stays with you: in the indigo walls of Chefchaouen, the silence of the desert beneath a sky of stars, the laughter shared over a Berber meal, and the inked curves of calligraphy still etched in memory. This isn’t just a journey completed — it’s one that continues to live inside you.
