What's Not Included
Day 1: Begin in Casablanca
We're starting off in Morocco's biggest city, promising dreamy coastal views. Your airport transfer is ready to take you to our hotel whenever you arrive. Tonight, meet your new travel crew and your group leader!
Day 2: Casablanca, Rabat and Chefchaouen
Ready for three iconic cities in one day? No trip to Casablanca is complete without exploring the Hassan II Mosque first, and it's absolutely breathtaking. Admire all the colourful mosaics, then it's time for Rabat: Morocco's coastal capital. From Hassan Tower to the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, expect jaw-dropping architecture as we uncover the local history. Roll into Chefchaouen for sunset, as rosy pink skies fade over those rich blue terraces... Now that's a view!
Day 3: Chafchaouen and Akchour Waterfalls
Chefchaouen, you may just be the most beautiful city we've ever seen. Every street is painted bright sapphire, so it's like an ocean of colour. This morning, we'll wander around and admire the viewpoints that never seem to end. Later, we have a waterfall to chase! Welcome to Akchour, a secret paradise nature spot hiding in the Rif Mountains. Relax and swim in turquoise pools (the best way to end any day!).
Day 4: Volubilis and Fez
Europe isn't the only place to see ancient Roman ruins! Welcome to Volubilis, one of Morocco's most renowned World Heritage sites. Then give a warm welcome to Fez! Start exploring Morocco's most historic city, famed for its vibrant, slightly chaotic atmosphere tucked inside those fortress walls.
Day 5: Fez
From courtyard gardens to bustling local bazaars, Fez hasn't aged a day. Enjoy this morning to unravel the city's many layers: sights, sounds, scents and all. You've been admiring those artisan stalls, but nothing's better than making your own souvenir. Later this afternoon, we'll try not one but two of Morocco's most traditional arts: pottery and zellige mosaic-making!
Day 6: Amazigh village
Get your road trip playlist ready, as we drive along winding roads and past rugged slopes drenched in golden sunlight. Refresh in a town called Midelt as part of today's journey down south. Spend the night in an Amazigh village, sitting at the foothills of Morocco's epic Atlas Mountains. Enjoy mint tea with a local family, slow down and immerse yourself in their traditions.
Day 7: Sahara Desert glamping
One of our favourite days! First, enjoy a home-cooked lunch with a local family, featuring a cooking demo. Then it's time for *the* bucket list moment you'll talk about for years to come. Cruise the dunes in a 4x4, try sandboarding or camel riding. Get ready for the most insane sunset of your life, then spend tonight in luxury, desert glamping under the stars... Told you it was a special one!
Day 8: Sahara Desert
Rise and shine, it's sunrise time! Trust us, the colours you're about to see are worth the early start. Enjoy another 4x4 drive along the rolling dunes. We've kept this afternoon completely free for you to chill by the pool, read a book, sip mint tea over desert views... Whatever you fancy!
Day 9: Todra Gorge and Ouarzazate
Ready to hit the road? We loved the Atlas Mountains so much the first time that we're back for more! Climb through the giant canyon walls of Todra Gorge as a fun side quest. Tonight's scenery is just as cinematic as we pull up into the desert city of Ouarzazate. You'll recognise it from the big (and little) screens.
Day 10: Aït Ben Haddou and Imlil
As seen in Gladiator and Game of Thrones... And now seen by you! Welcome to Aït Ben Haddou, a historic village that looks like a sky castle. Admire it from afar, before winding through those fortress walls, climbing to the top. Next up is the mountain town of Imlil up where cascading emerald fields meet snowy peaks and rivers.
Day 11: Atlas Mountains and Marrakesh
Lace up your boots for this morning's optional hike. Climb through the valleys and discover secret gems, or relax on our hotel balcony and enjoy those iconic views from afar. Later, we'll arrive in the Red City of Marrakesh. Master your Moroccan chef skills tonight, as we cook authentic food from scratch in a local chef's family home.
Day 12: Marrakesh
Experience the magic of Marrakesh today, as we dive into bustling medina life. Wander along Jemma el-Fna square, before digging into those vibrant streets bursting with rainbow lanterns, jewels and spices. You'll have a completely free afternoon to soak in more sights. Tonight we'll celebrate with one final group dinner, reflecting on all the memories made.
Day 13: End in Marrakesh
Our adventure is now over, but we'll always have Morocco! Pack those bags and hug your new best friends. Until next time!
