01 / Overview
Your tour at a glance
This private 10-Day journey combines Morocco’s historic imperial cities, the mountain landscapes of the Middle and High Atlas, and the golden dunes of the Sahara, with a relaxed finish in Marrakech. Your first 2 nights are spent in Fes, where a full-day guided visit introduces you to the UNESCO-listed Medina, traditional artisan quarters, and centuries of Moroccan cultural heritage. Continue north to Chefchaouen, renowned for its blue-painted architecture and beautiful Rif Mountain setting, before traveling south through the Roman archaeological site of Volubilis and the imperial city of Meknes. An overnight stay in Midelt divides the journey toward the Sahara, allowing you to continue through the spectacular Ziz Valley and Erfoud to Merzouga the following day.
At the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes, enjoy a camel experience and spend the night at a Sahara desert camp. Continue through the towering limestone cliffs of Todra Gorge and the scenic Dades Valley, then travel via Ouarzazate and the UNESCO-listed ksar of Ait Ben Haddou toward Marrakech. Your final 3 nights in Marrakech include a private guided exploration of the city’s historic palaces, lively souks, and traditional Medina, followed by a full day at leisure for shopping, relaxation, or optional activities. With private transportation throughout, the itinerary concludes with a transfer to Marrakech Menara Airport on day 10.
