Good morning, Morocco! After breakfast, we’ll hit the road early for a journey through rolling hills to the imperial city of Meknes. Gear up for a guided walking tour of Meknes’ magnificent medina – a UNESCO World Heritage site. Next, we’ll stop for a delicious local lunch before visiting the incredibly well-preserved ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis, dating back nearly 2,000 years. Imagine life as a Roman citizen as you explore this archaeological gem.

After a day immersing yourself in history, we’ll drive about 5 exhilarating hours through the Moroccan countryside to arrive in Fes. Get ready to rest up tonight, because tomorrow we dive into Fes’s mesmerizing medieval medina, another UNESCO site. The adventure continues!

Rise and shine Fes! After breakfast, your local expert guide will lead us right into the heart of the medieval medina, a maze-like UNESCO site. Stop to take in the view of the iconic leather tannery pits, in use for over a thousand years. Our immersive half-day walking tour includes checking out artisan quarters and sampling tasty treats from street carts. We’ll also visit a Quranic school for a glimpse into ancient education.

After an morning of incredible sights and sounds, the afternoon is yours to wander and explore more of Fes’s hidden treasures. Get lost in the 9,000 alleyways, scout for souvenirs, or sip some mint tea – this magical city is yours to uncover.

Another day of Moroccan adventure done – sleep well Fes!

Get ready for an epic road trip day! We’ll cruise through the staggering Middle and High Atlas Mountains, two of Morocco’s majestic ranges. After the approx. 8-9 hour scenic drive, the highlight arrives – camel riding deep into the Erg Chebbi dunes. Saddle up and caravan 1.5 hours through the sandy Saharan sea to our remote Berber camp. After dismounting, you can play drums around the campfire and stargaze in the silence before bedding down under the Milky Way. For night owls, climb the glowing dunes for unforgettable photos at sunset and sunrise! Local guides will cook up a hearty Berber stew for dinner – you’ll sleep well tonight.

Rise and shine desert campers – it’s an early wake-up call to catch the incredible sunrise over the dunes! Saddle back up on our trusty camels and caravan out of the Sahara as the morning light illuminates the sand. After breakfast back in Merzouga, we’ll hit the road to Todra Gorge. Stretch your legs on a short hike through quaint Berber villages nestled in the cliffs. The grand finale is taking in the staggering views overlooking Morocco’s deepest and most dramatic gorge – epic!

After exploring North Africa’s greatest natural wonder, we’ll call it a day in our Todra Gorge accommodation. Get ready for another memorable day tomorrow!

Lights, camera, action! Today we’ll travel the “Road of 1000 Kasbahs”, winding through old fortresses and the Hollywood of Morocco – Ouarzazate. This city is home to the famous Atlas Studios where iconic movies like Lawrence of Arabia and Gladiator were filmed.

The highlight is visiting the ancient UNESCO-listed kasbah village of Ait Benhaddou. Perfectly preserved, this clay citadel has starred in Game of Thrones, Gladiator, and more. Enjoy a guided tour and lunch before crossing the High Atlas mountains towards Marrakech.

After approx. 6 hours on the road, we’ll overnight in vibrant Marrakech – get ready to dive into Morocco’s cultural heart tomorrow!

Our last full day is a whirlwind Marrakesh exploration! From the intricate Bahia Palace to the haunting Saadian Tombs, our guided tour covers the highlights. We’ll shop the souks, get lost in the medina, and soak up the electric atmosphere of Jamaa el-Fna square. Spend your free afternoon sipping mint tea or wander to Majorelle Gardens before one final group dinner. Magic memories made in Morocco!
