Day 1: Starting at CASABLANCA and ending in FEZ ,

At 9:00 in the morning, your guide will arrive at your Casablanca hotel to get you. We will depart Rabat for Fes today and go through Meknes. These towns, as well as the Roman remains at nearby Volubilis, will be on our itinerary. You will check into a typical Moroccan riad in the evening, where you will have supper and spend the night.

Day 2: Tour of Fez, 

Each morning, a knowledgeable guide will pick you up from your riad to take you on a fantastic cultural and historical journey across Fes. You’ll spend the morning exploring the winding streets of the medina (the ancient city), the Jewish Quarter, and the Royal Palace Gate before stopping for lunch. In the afternoon, we will visit the famed tanneries and the Quaraouine mosque—the first university in the world—before traveling to the top of the city for a spectacular panoramic view of the city. If you’re interested, we can also stop by a local pottery collective. You will spend the night by yourself in the same riad after a delicious meal.

Dday 3: Fez Azrou Midelt, Ziz Valley Rift, and Merzouga 

After breakfast, your guide will pick you up from your Fes hotel and take you to the southern area of Morocco. You’ll take a break at Ifrane, which has been called “the Switzerland of Morocco,” to take in the sights and snap some shots. You’ll then make your way to Azrou to visit the monkeys in the cedar forest. The plan is to drive to Midelt for lunch. 

After spending the day taking in the sights of Ziz Gorge, we’ll make our way via the pass of Tizi n Tighamt on our way to Errachidia. Our day will begin with a stop at a panoramic lookout over the Ziz valley; continue via Erfoud, Morocco’s “fossil capital,” and end in Merzouga, where we’ll have supper and spend the night.

 Day 4: Merzouga Region: Camel Trek and Overnight Camping

Our day of exploring the dunes of Erg Chebbi begins bright and early. We’re going to a Berber home to listen to some Gnawa music, which has its roots in Ghana and Sudan. We’ll go to a palm tree oasis, see some Berber nomads, and stop by some abandoned mines. The plan is to return to Merzouga in time for lunch. Once we’ve had some time to unwind, we’ll go over to the camels, who are patiently waiting to take us on an excursion into the sand dunes.

The camels will be loaded with provisions before we go out into the desert. The camel ride into the dunes will take around an hour and a half, and each passenger will have their own camel.

After settling into your own tent, you may go for a stroll on the dunes to take in the breathtaking sunset and try your hand at sandboarding. After watching the sun go down, you’ll go back to camp for some mint tea, or “Moroccan Berber Whiskey,” as the locals call it. Then, back at camp, you may enjoy a traditional Berber dish called tagine. The celebration will begin after supper. Traditional music from the Berber nomads will be performed, complete with drums and dance. At the end, you’ll be able to relax in the desert while gazing up at the star-studded sky. A nomadic camp for supper and the night.

Beds, power, a private bathroom with shower, and air conditioning are just some of the luxuries that can be found in the tents (please let us know which amenities you would like for an accurate quote).

Day 5:TODRA GORGES, MERZOUGA GORGES, DADES GORGES 

Listen for your guide’s soft voice as dawn approaches, then get up to see the sun rise over the Sahara’s sand dunes. After spending the night at Desert Camp, we’ll take camels back to Merzouga for breakfast and bathing. After setting off for Todra Gorge, we’ll take an off-road vehicle over the hamada (black desert) to the Saharan village of Rissani and its lively market. After seeing the spectacular Todra canyons, we’ll proceed north to the town of Erfoud, famous for its fossils, where we may stop at a fossil workshop. Before retiring for the night, we’ll spend some time in the canyons, rock climbing (extra bookings may be necessary) or hiking.

6th Day: Dades Gorges to Ouarzazate to Marrakech

After a hearty breakfast at the hotel, we set out to explore the area around the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs. Before we reach Skoura palm grove, you may take in the breathtaking views of the Valley of the Roses. The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ait Benhaddou, featured in such films as The Man Who Would Be King, Jewel of the Nile, Jesus of Nazareth, The Message, Lawrence of Arabia, The Mummy, and Gladiator, will be our next stop after seeing Taourirt Kasbah. Then, we’ll go to the nearby Berber town of Telouet and the nearby Kasbah el Glaoui in the High Atlas Mountains. 

Before heading down the Tizi-n-Tichka to Marrakech, we’ll stop for lunch at a small eatery in Telouet. We will drop you off at your hotel or other designated place in Marrakech after your evening arrival. We appreciate you choosing All Morocco Tours to assist you with your vacation plans.
