Twelve days gives you time to see imperial cities, film-famous kasbahs and a night in the Sahara on one trip. The itinerary is designed as a complete first introduction to Morocco. You'll move from the Atlantic coast to the dunes and back through the High Atlas to Marrakech.
Opening days take you from Casablanca and Rabat into Fez, where several days are spent exploring Fez el-Bali's medina and artisan workshops. The route then continues east towards Erfoud and the Sahara Desert. A sunset camel trek leads to an overnight stay in a luxury desert camp beneath a dark sky.
From the desert, you'll continue to Ouarzazate and the UNESCO-listed kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, a location familiar from major film and television productions. Stops in Berber villages and artisan workshops sit along the way. The tour finishes with several days in Marrakech exploring the souks and Jemaa el-Fna square.
From our base in Marrakech, we put local knowledge into a longer loop that still needs tight logistics. An English-speaking tour manager and local guides travel with you throughout the trip. We arrange private transport, selected stays including the desert camp night, daily breakfast and dinner, and entrance fees, from airport reception in Casablanca to your final drop-off in Marrakech.
