Ten days, Casablanca to Marrakech
Morocco's essential route, at a refined pace, with gourmet dining and expert guiding throughout.
Arrival In Casablanca
We meet you on arrival and transfer you to your luxury hotel. In the evening, stroll the Corniche for the sea breeze, then visit the Hassan II Mosque, the largest in Africa, for a first taste of Moroccan craftsmanship.
Casablanca → Rabat
We drive to Rabat, Morocco's capital, exploring the Royal Palace grounds and the Oudayas Kasbah's narrow, blue-painted lanes. We visit the Hassan Tower and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V before a refined dinner at one of the city's upscale restaurants.
Rabat → Chefchaouen
We continue to Chefchaouen, the Blue Pearl of Morocco, in the Rif Mountains. We explore the medina and the Kasbah Museum, with dinner at a local riad surrounded by the town's calming blue views.
Chefchaouen → Volubilis → Fes
We visit Volubilis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site whose ruins "contains essentially Roman vestiges of a fortified municipium", among the best-preserved in North Africa.
We continue to Fes for a luxurious dinner in a traditional riad, setting the stage for tomorrow's sightseeing.
Fes Sightseeing
A full day in Fes el-Bali, a UNESCO World Heritage Site National Geographic describes as "a living, earthy (yet car-free) town". We visit the Bou Inania Madrasa, the Al-Qarawiyyin University, and the tanneries, with a traditional lunch in a courtyard riad.
Fes → Ifrane → Merzouga
We cross the Middle Atlas through Ifrane, often called "Little Switzerland," continuing to Merzouga on the edge of the Sahara.
A 4x4 carries you into the dunes for sunset, arriving at your luxury desert camp for a night under the stars with authentic Moroccan food and music.
Merzouga → Rissani → Todra Gorges → Dades Valley → Skoura Oasis
We leave the desert for Rissani's souks and ancient ksours, then the Todra Gorges, where towering cliffs frame a dramatic canyon.
We continue through the Dades Valley to the Skoura Oasis, a palm-shaded haven, for a peaceful night at a luxury oasis retreat.
Skoura → Ait Ben Haddou → Tizi n'Tichka Pass → Marrakech
We visit Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site UNESCO calls "a striking example of the architecture of southern Morocco", familiar from several film productions.
We cross the Tizi n'Tichka Pass for panoramic Atlas views before arriving in Marrakech, with dinner at your luxury riad.
Marrakech Sightseeing
We visit the Bahia Palace, the Koutoubia Mosque, and the vibrant souks, with a leisurely walk through the Menara Gardens or El Badi Palace.
In the evening, dine at one of Marrakech's top restaurants, savoring Moroccan delicacies amid the city's lively atmosphere.

The essential Morocco, without compromise
Ten days is enough to cover Morocco's core route — imperial cities, the Sahara, and the great kasbahs — without a packed, one-night-per-stop pace. This trip keeps the schedule light and the accommodation refined, with only breakfast and two dinners fixed so evenings stay flexible for fine dining.
It's built for travelers who want the country's must-see landmarks covered properly rather than rushed, with a private vehicle and guide throughout. For travelers with more time, longer versions of this same route continue further into the Anti-Atlas and the Atlantic coast.
