On the first day of our 9-days tour from Marrakech to the desert, Fez and Casablanca, we will either visit the famous Jamaa Elfna square or we will just go to your accommodation so that you can have a rest.

During this day of the TOUR OF MARRAKECH, we are going to explore the red city of Marrakech. We will have a guided tour that will take us to the most important monuments of the city; places that have a great historical and cultural value. The list includes Bahia Palace, Saadian Tombs, Ben Youssef’s Koranic School, Medina and Souks. After lunch at a traditional restaurant in the famous Jamaa Lafna square, we’ll visit the Koutoubia mosque and the fascinating Majorelle gardens. These gardens house an amazing collection of plants from all over the world. At the end of the day, we will have an overnight stay in a traditional riad.

After breakfast in the Dades valley, we will leave it and go to the Toudgha gorges. These gorges have the largest canyons in Morocco and a beautiful river where small fish swim. Then we will pass by Tinghir to Erfoud, where we will have a traditional lunch. Our next stop will be Merzouga for an overnight stay in one of the most chic desert hotels.

After having breakfast and showering at the hotel, we will drive through the desert to see what it has to offer. We will drive in our 4×4 car and we will pass by the small villages. After lunch at the home of a Berber family, we will drive along the road used by the Dakar rally and have a stop at a cave where we can find fossils. Then we will go back to the hotel in Merzouga for a rest. After a rest and leaving the unnecessary luggage at the hotel, we will ride the camels to the dunes of Erg Chebbi where a camp is located. We will have dinner at the camp. We will listen to the trance-inducing drum beats of the nomadic musicians under the clear constellations of the stars of the Milky Way.

This day of the TOUR FROM MARRAKECH is dedicated to the exploration of the spiritual capital of Morocco, Fez. After breakfast, we will start our guided tour in the medina of Fez. The medina is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We will start by visiting the landmarks of Fez Elbali; places such as the Al Qaraouine University, the mausoleum of Moulay Idriss, the Nejjarine fountain, and so on. Before exploring more of Fès, such as the Jewish quarter (mellah), we will have a traditional lunch in the medina. We will return to the riad at the end of the day.

We will leave after breakfast to visit Meknes, the capital of the Kingdom of Morocco. We will explore the most important monuments of the medina and surrounding areas. After that, we will visit the holy city of Moulay Driss and the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis before heading to Rabat, the capital. We will visit some of its monuments dating back to the 12th century, including the Ouday Kasbah, the Medina, the markets, the Mohammed V mausoleum and the Hassan Tower. We will end the day in Casablanca where we’ll stay in a hotel for the night.
