Your driver meets you early at your Casablanca hotel. The road leads inland through green plains toward Meknes, once the royal capital of Sultan Moulay Ismail. Visit Bab Mansour, the monumental gate facing El Hedim Square, and explore its lively heart before continuing to the Roman ruins of Volubilis.
Walk among ancient columns and intricate mosaics that still glow under the Moroccan sun. By late afternoon, arrive in Fes, Morocco’s spiritual city, where you’ll settle into a peaceful riad inside the medina.

After breakfast, meet your local guide to uncover the soul of Fes, a labyrinth of narrow lanes, workshops, and fragrant souks. Visit the Bou Inania Madrasa, the Kairaouine Mosque, and the Chouara Tanneries, where craftsmen still dye leather by hand.
Lunch in a traditional restaurant before exploring the Andalusian quarter and artisan markets. Fes reveals itself slowly, ancient, spiritual, endlessly fascinating.

Today you’ll cross the Middle Atlas Mountains, passing Ifrane, “the Switzerland of Morocco,” and Azrou, home to cedar forests and playful Barbary macaques. The scenery shifts to rocky hills near Midelt, then opens into desert plains beyond Erfoud.
At sunset, reach Merzouga, where camels await for your trek across the dunes. Ride into the glowing sandscape until you reach your desert camp. Dinner under the stars, Berber music by the fire a night to remember.

Rise early to witness the sunrise spilling gold over the dunes. After breakfast, drive toward Tinghir to visit the Todra Gorges, dramatic cliffs carved by nature. Walk along the canyon floor and feel the cool air between the high walls before continuing to the Dades Valley.
Arrive by evening at your riad overlooking the red rock formations. Dinner and overnight in the quiet of the valley.

After breakfast, follow the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs toward Ouarzazate, Morocco’s film capital. Visit the Taourirt Kasbah or stop at a local studio before crossing the High Atlas Mountains through the Tizi n’Tichka Pass.
The winding road reveals endless vistas until the red walls of Marrakech appear. Drop-off at your accommodation marks the end of your Casablanca desert tour
