- Tour plan :

Your 6-day tour from Casablanca starts with a warm welcome at Casablanca's Mohammed V International Airport or at your hotel. The trip begins with a visit to Casablanca. Our first stop is the impressive Hassan II Mosque, a beautiful place open to everyone regardless of their religion.
After that, we will guide you through the charming old Medina and the picturesque Corniche. Moving on to our next destination, Rabat, where we will explore two main places: the historic Chellah and the impressive Hassan Mosque or Tower. Our adventure continues as we immerse ourselves in the charm of Oudayas.

After enjoying lunch in Rabat, our journey takes us to Chefchaouen, a stunning city surrounded by the picturesque Rif Mountains in northern Morocco. A warm welcome awaits you at your charming hotel or riad, providing a serene environment for you to relax and reflect on the exciting day of exploration. It’s a perfect way to conclude the day.

After breakfast, head out and explore the beautiful streets of Chefchaouen, known as the blue city. Then, we will hop in a car and drive to Volubilis to see very old Roman buildings registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are interesting things like ancient columns and nice mosaics everywhere.
Next, we drive 30 kilometers to see Meknes, a city with a lot of history. We will visit places like Bab Al-Mansour, the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, the Royal Stables, the Sahrij Souani Basin, and the Granary. After exploring, we will travel to Fes and spend the night in a riad.

Today we are going to see the best parts of Fes. Fes is a very 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 will start at the Royal Palace gate. 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 venture through a bunch of small streets. We will see 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 of all!

After that, we will leave the Medina and visit the Jewish quarter, also called “the Mellah”. In the afternoon, we will go to an ancient fortress to get a breathtaking view of the city. Finally, we will return to where we are staying, called Riad.

After breakfast, 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 ride camels and cross the sandy desert. We stop on a high sand hill to watch the sunset.

Finally, we go to a camp, which is a mix of nomadic tents and a luxury 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.

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 out of 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 canyons 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 passed through Boumalne Dades and headed to the Dades Valley. We made sure to stop at the rock formation called “monkey fingers” – it’s hard to miss! This spot is on top of a mountain, giving us a great view of the Dades Valley. Finally, we ended the day with dinner and spent the night in a hotel.

After breakfast, our next stop is Kalaa Magouna to visit the Valley of Roses. If you are lucky enough to visit in May, you might witness the Rose Festival where locals sell rose-related products such as cosmetics, rose water, oil and perfumes.
Then, we drive through the palm groves of Skoura and arrive at Ouarzazate where we take a tour of the film studios used for famous productions.

Next, we explore the renowned Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, a fortified village recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. This Kasbah has appeared in films such as Gladiator, Alexander and The Mummy, as well as in television shows such as Game of Thrones.
