DAY 1: TANGIER – TETOUAN – CHEFCHAOUEN

On the first day of your 6-day Morocco tour from Tangier, we will pick you up from your hotel, the airport or the port in Tangier, also known as “the bride of the north”. This city is located in the northwest, near Cape Spartel, where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean. The Cave of Hercules and Cape Spartel will be next on our trip, starting with the charming city itself. You will have free time for lunch. After that, we will travel inland to Chefchaouen via Tetouan and the picturesque Rif Mountains. We will stop along the way to enjoy the scenery. Your overnight stay will be in the charming village of Chefchaouen.

After exploring, we will travel to Fes and spend the night in a riad.

DAY 3: EXPLORATION OF FES WITH A LOCAL GUIDE:

Today we will explore the best parts of Fes. Fes is a really important city in Morocco for its culture and religion, and it is one of the great cities of yesteryear. First thing in the morning, we start at the gate of the Royal Palace. Then, we will explore the super old part of the city, called the Medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Your local guide will show you around. We will start at the Blue Gate, called Bab Boujloud, and then we will wander through a bunch of small streets. We will check out interesting places like the tanneries, the Najjarine Fountain, and the Medersa Bouanania. And don’t forget the Quaraouin mosque and university, which is the oldest university in existence! After that, we will leave the Medina and visit the Jewish quarter, also called “the Mellah.” In the afternoon, we will drive to an old fortress to get a breathtaking view of the city. Finally, we will return to the accommodation.

DAY 4: FES – IFRANE –AZROU- MIDELT – ZIZ VALLEY – MERZOUGA DESERT

After breakfast in your riad, we head towards a place called Ifrane, passing through a village called Imouzzer. Ifrane is special because it is very cold, snowy and has houses that look like those in the mountains of Switzerland. Then, we go to a forest where monkeys called Barbary macaques live. You can give them food and walk around the forest. After that, we go to a village called Midelt, where we have some free time for lunch. Then, we drive towards another desert of Merzouga through a pass and along a valley with stops to see nice views. In the afternoon, we arrive at the Sahara Desert in Merzouga. Here, we will ride camels and cross the sand desert. We will stop on a high sand hill to watch the sunset. Finally, we will go to a camp, which is like a mix of nomad tents and a fancy hotel. There, you can listen to Berber drum music, dance around a campfire and admire the stars in the wide open sky. Dinner and overnight at the camp.

DAY 5: MERZOUGA – RISSANI – ERFOUD – TODRA GORGES – DADES VALLEY

After breakfast, we drive to Rissani, which used to be the capital of Tafilalet. It is still an important place for trade and has a large market that is busy on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. We visit a workshop where they make things from fossilized marble in Erfoud after visiting the market in Rissani. Then, we drive through palm groves in Touroug and Tinjdad to reach the Todra Gorges. These are huge gorges with red walls carved by the Todra River. Climbers really like these gorges, and you can explore them to enjoy the amazing views. Take some time to eat at a restaurant. After that, we drive through Boumalne Dades and head to the Dades Valley. We make sure to stop at the “monkey fingers” rock formation – it’s hard to miss! This place is on a mountain, giving us a great view of the Dades Valley. Finally, we end the day with dinner and spend the night in a hotel.

Then, we drive through the palm groves of Skoura and arrive at Ouarzazate where we visit the film studios used for famous productions. Next, we explore the renowned Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, a fortified village recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
