This 8-day itinerary offers a concentrated experience of Morocco’s best attractions, combining historic cities, breathtaking landscapes and the magical desert experience. Ideal for travellers who want to capture the essence of the country in limited time, the itinerary was carefully planned to maximise your time without sacrificing comfort.
Duration: 8 days / 7 nights
Route: Tangier → Chefchaouen → Fez → Sahara Desert → Ouarzazate → Marrakech
Your flight arrives in cosmopolitan Tangier, a strategic city between two seas. After landing, your private guide will take you to explore key points: the busy medina, the vibrant Grand Socco and the emblematic Cape Spartel. There, the waters of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic meet.
To finish, a seaside dinner awaits. Enjoy the first dishes of Moroccan cuisine while watching the ships in the Strait of Gibraltar.
In the morning we set off for the Rif mountains. After a 3-hour drive through rural landscapes, we arrive in charming Chefchaouen. Known as the “Blue Pearl”, the city captivates with its blue walls.
In the afternoon, explore freely the Uta el-Hammam Square and the Grand Mosque. We recommend climbing to the Spanish Mosque at sunset, when you will see the city bathed in gold.
In the morning we leave the mountains and stop at the Roman ruins of Volubilis. There, mosaics and columns tell stories of the past. We then continue to Fez, the most imperial of cities.
At the end of the day we take a walk through the medina (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). Then have dinner in a traditional riad in the heart of the city.
Today we exchange the cities for the desert. We cross the cedar forests of the Atlas, passing Ifrane and the Ziz valley.
On arrival in Merzouga we exchange the vehicles for camels. Enjoy an unforgettable journey across the Erg Chebbi dunes at sunset. At night, a traditional dinner and Berber music under the stars.
Wake early for the sunrise over the dunes, perfect for photos. After breakfast, we continue to the Todgha Gorge. There, 300-metre walls create a dramatic landscape.
Explore the dry riverbed and admire the unique formations. Overnight in a hotel with a view of the canyons.
Today we travel through the Dades Valley (“Valley of a Thousand Kasbahs”). We stop for photos and visit the Ksar of Ait Ben Haddou. This is the most famous group of mud-brick architecture in Morocco.
In Ouarzazate we visit the Atlas Studios and the Taourirt Kasbah. Finally, have dinner in the capital of Moroccan cinema.
We begin one of the most scenic journeys: the crossing of the High Atlas via the Tizi n’Tichka pass. Along the way, Berber villages and deep valleys alternate.
In Marrakech we explore Jemaa el-Fnaa square. In the evening the square becomes a spectacle of lights and flavours. Have dinner on a terrace overlooking the activity.
Your flight in the afternoon allows a morning of discovery. Visit the Majorelle Garden, the Bahia Palace and the Ben Youssef Madrasa.
Finally, free time for shopping in the souks. Take home unforgettable memories of authentic Morocco.
