Covering the same broad loop as our signature departure, this twelve-day route takes in imperial cities, film-famous kasbahs and a night in the Sahara. It is offered at a more accessible price point, generally reflecting a difference in accommodation standard. You'll still travel from Casablanca to Marrakech via Fez, Erfoud, Ouarzazate and Ait Ben Haddou.

Imperial cities fill the first stretch, from Casablanca and Rabat into Fez, where several days go to the medina and its artisan workshops. From there the route heads east to Erfoud and the Sahara Desert. A sunset camel trek into the Erg Chebbi dunes leads to an overnight stay in a desert camp under the stars.
After the dunes, you'll continue to Ouarzazate and Ait Ben Haddou, the UNESCO-listed kasbah familiar from major film productions. Stops at Berber villages and artisan workshops sit along the way. Several days in Marrakech close the trip, exploring the souks, spice markets and Jemaa el-Fna square.
