10 Day Morocco Tour

Arrive and settle into your medina riad. Two full days: Djemaa el-Fna square, souks, Majorelle Garden, Bahia Palace, and an optional riad cooking class for the evening.

Drive into the High Atlas via Ourika Valley — Berber village lunch, sweeping mountain panoramas, and the Tizi n'Tichka pass at 2,260m before descending into the south.

Visit the UNESCO-listed Ait Benhaddou kasbah, one of the most photographed sites in Morocco and a Game of Thrones filming location. Optional Ouarzazate film studios in the afternoon.

Drive through the fragrant rose valley — peak bloom in late April — then into the dramatic Dades Gorge. The narrow canyon road with sheer walls on both sides is one of Morocco's most scenic drives.

Arrive at the Sahara dunes in the late afternoon for the golden hour. Sunset camel ride into the dunes with your guide. Berber dinner and live music at the luxury camp under Saharan stars.

Wake before sunrise for the most spectacular light on the dunes. After breakfast, 4WD through remote desert terrain to the Todra Gorge — vertical canyon walls up to 300m high.

Drive north through the Ziz Valley palm gorge, into the Middle Atlas cedar forests where wild Barbary macaques live, and through Ifrane — Morocco's unexpected Swiss-style alpine village.

Full day in Fes with a local medina guide: the working Chouara tanneries, Bou Inania Madrasa, the 9th-century Al-Qarawiyyin university, artisan cooperatives for zellige and leather, and riad dinner.

2.5 hours from Fes, Chefchaouen's blue-washed medina sits in the Rif Mountains. Morning stroll through the blue streets, optional hike to the Spanish mosque for a panoramic view, then return to Fes or Marrakech airport.
