Itinerary / more information

  • DAY 1 - Casablanca Once an old pirate lair on the Atlantic coast, the sophisticated city of Casablanca is where we'll meet to begin our intoxicating journey through Morocco. Tonight, we'll have the opportunity to get to know one another better over a delicious welcome meal at a local restaurant. Accommodation: Idou Anfa H?tel (or similar)
  • DAY 2 - Casablanca - Rabat - Fes After breakfast, we'll hit the road to our first stop: Rabat, where we'll see the marble Mausoleum of Mohammed V and the similarly spectacular Hassan Tower on a guided walking tour. When we arrive in Fes, the evening will be ours to explore at our leisure or relax back at our accommodation. Accommodation: Riad Reda (or similar)
  • DAY 3 - Fes - Moulay Idriss and Meknes - Fes After a stop in the pretty whitewashed town of Moulay Idriss, we'll make our way to Meknes.

Next we'll savour an included lunch and sample some delicious local wines, before returning to Fes for an evening spent at our leisure. Accommodation: Riad Reda (or similar)
  • DAY 4 - Fes First on the agenda today is a walking tour of Fes' maze-like medina before we move on to a Moroccan must-see: a leather tannery. We will also visit a workshop that specialises in creating a range of local artisanal products, before having the afternoon free to explore Fes at our own pace. We recommend returning to the buzzing medina and exploring the many colourful storefronts and medieval streets bursting with exotic food stands. Accommodation: Riad Reda (or similar)
  • DAY 5 - Fes - Midelt - Erfoud Today our path leads us out of the city and on a voyage through the striking, jagged landscapes of the Atlas Mountains, covering some distance as we go. We'll pay a visit to Midelt; nestled in a valley, this golden-hued town offers breathtaking vistas of the surrounding peaks. Afterwards, our scenic journey continues towards the welcoming oasis town of Erfoud, where we'll enjoy dinner as a group at our hotel. Accommodation: Kasbah Hotel Chergui (or similar)
  • DAY 6 - Erfoud - Rissani - Merzouga Our first stop of the day will be Rissani, where we'll be treated to a walking tour of this historic town, once the site of the renowned desert capital Sijilmasa. Afterwards, we'll swap the mini-coach for four-wheel drives and venture into the spectacular Sahara Desert - where our camp just outside of Merzouga awaits. Tonight's dinner will come in the traditional form of a Berber feast, complete with local entertainment. Accommodation: Golden Camp (or similar)
  • DAY 7 - Merzouga - Dad?s Gorge - Ouarzazate Region Rise early this morning to catch the mesmerising sunrise over the expanse of red dunes, before we set off on a day's travel.

It's situated a short drive from the fortified village of A?t Benhaddou: a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Accommodation: Riad Tamdakht (or similar)
  • DAY 8 - Ouarzazate Region We'll begin our day uncovering the secret to cooking the perfect tagine during an included cooking class. Taking its name from the conical clay pot in which this sumptuous dish is cooked, we'll sample our own attempts at this slow-cooked stew of meats, dried fruit and vegetables for lunch. Following this, we'll take a visit to Ouarzazate to find out more about its role on the silver screen at Atlas Film Studios, before an evening spent relaxing at our accommodation. Accommodation: Riad Tamdakht (or similar)
