Our guide will be waiting for you at the airport.
To start the tour we will go to one of the major wonders in Morocco: the Hassan II Mosque, the second highest mosque in the world, and the
largest one in Africa, and a rare example of mosques that can be visited by non-Muslims. In the
mosque tour, the guide will pleasantly share the history of this massive landmark with you.
Night in a Hotel.
In the morning, we will depart for Rabat nicknamed as the Lion of Morocco, where you can
enjoy its beautiful domes, minarets, wide avenues and green spaces. Rabat is a city that grew up
in the fourteenth and fifteenth century, with the expulsion of Andalusians from the Iberian
Peninsula. Three walls corresponding to the most significant stages of its history surround it: the
Almohad wall, the Andalusian wall and the Alawite wall. Your guide will show you these walls
and the main attractions of the city like the Hassan Tower, situated on top of an imposing
mosque, and the opulent tomb of Mohammed V among many others. After Rabat, we will leave
in direction to Fes. We can visit the Roman ruins of Volubulis, one of the best-preserved Roman
sites of the world with a local guide. For a long time, Volubulis was the main Roman
administration center in Northern Africa outside of Egypt. We will arrive at Fes before dinner.

After breakfast at the hotel in Fes, we depart for the Sahara Desert, traveling via the magnificent Ziz Gorges, carved through volcanic rock, offering stunning views of the Middle Atlas plateau. As you approach the city of Errachidia, observe how the landscape gradually transforms, revealing the first hints of the Sahara Desert.
We continue to Erfoud, a city located on the edge of the desert. Then to Merzouga. Arrive in the Sahara Desert around 12pm to explore the Oriental Sahara Desert in a 4×4 vehicle (Jeep). We will traverse the desert to visit the nomadic communities of Erg Chebbi, providing a unique opportunity to learn about their traditional way of life. You will be invited to share a glass of tea with the nomads and gain insight into their customs and lifestyle.

At around 4:00 p.m you will be introduced to your camels, which will transport you across the sand dunes to explore the Sahara Desert landscape to the desert camp. Upon arrival at the camp, you will be warmly welcomed with a traditional glass of tea before settling into your private tent, equipped with an en-suite bathroom. Dinner will be served at your convenience.
After dinner, you will have the opportunity to experience an authentic Berber night, featuring traditional drumming around the campfire and Berber-style dancing. The remainder of the evening is yours to enjoy at your leisure.
Overnight at the Luxury desert camp(glamping), with dinner and breakfast included.
After unforgettable night in the desert getting to know its culture, traditions and nature, you will
leave for something completely different: the rocky landscape of the Gorges, the high Atlas and
the green beauty of the Dadès Valley. Explore the Todra Gorge, which is one of the most
spectacular canyons in the world, with towering rock cliffs that reach 300 meters high, each
separated only by 10 to 15 meters, which extend through several kilometers. Finally you will
reach the palm grove of Ouarzazate, one of the rare palm trees in Morocco. The whispers of
palm trees are powered by the sound of the breeze, the crickets, frogs, birds and the course of the
water, the element of nature that creates the life of this little paradise.
Night in a Hotel.
Ouarzazate and Ait Benhaddou, which are two locations of great historical and cultural
importance in the Atlas Mountains. You will feel as if you have travelled in time to see the
landscape and lives of those who dedicated themselves to trade. Ait Benhaddou is a UNESCO
World Heritage Site and is the most important ksar in the “Route of the One Thousand Kasbahs”,
a route of small fortifications that allowed the trade caravans to travel between the Sahara Desert
and the city of Marrakesh. It is still inhabited and used as a setting for movies and TV shows
such as “Gladiator” and “Game of Thrones” to add authenticity.
Follow the calm and clear high Atlas by the Tizi n’Tichka pass, going higher than 2000m, where
the rocky hills remind you of an old western movie. Arrive finally at the marvelous city of
Marrakech.
Night at the Riad.
Visit Marrakesh, the red city of Morocco and the cosmopolitan center of the country. The
surprising architecture, the intense sent of spices, the colorful and exotic atmosphere, and the
small corners and secrets in its history make this city the most desired and visited city in
Morocco. During the day, you will be accompanied by a local guide exclusively dedicated to the
city of Marrakech so you can enjoy the best the city has to offer. The attractions that you will
explore are multiple: the Bahia Palace (opulent building from the 19th century), the Ben Youssef
Medersa (old Quoranic school), Majorelle’s gardens and Saadian Tombs, and so many more.
Commerce is chaotic in Marrakech and it’s the city main activity. At night, dine at the Jemaa el
Fna Square, a market under open sky, where the mixture of scents, songs and shows are
engaging and where the most traditional and typical food can be tasted at Moroccan prices.
At the end of your day, return to the Riad.
