Itinerary

: Day 1 – Welcome to Casablanca, Morocco

On arrival, we’ll be warmly greeted and escorted to the Sofitel Casablanca Tour Blanche, where early check-in has been arranged for our guests. Our luxury hotel enjoys a privileged city-center setting close to the historic medina - making it easy to step out and explo...

: Day 2 – Rabat #WHS# + Meknes #WHS# + Volubilis #WHS# + Fès

We’ll depart Casablanca this morning and travel to Rabat to explore the Oudayas Kasbah, a walled city within the city; founded in the 12th century, it’s still home to 2,000 of Rabat’s citizens. We’ll also see the splendid Mohamed V Mausoleum and marvel at the Hassan T...

: Day 3 – Immerse in the Imperial City of Fès #WHS#

Founded in the 8th century, this ancient city emerged as the capital of the ancient Marinid Dynasty in the 13th and 14th centuries and quickly blossomed into a major Islamic center of commerce, learning and the arts. Even today, many Moroccans regard Fès as the cultur...

: Day 4 – Through the Ziz Valley to Merzouga + The Sahara

Leaving Fès behind us, we’ll make our way into the undulating hills and fragrant Cedar forests of the Middle Atlas Range – a favorite habitat of Barbary macaques. Passing through Ifrane, you might be surprised by the distinctly Alpine feel of the town’s layout and arc...

: Day 5 - Route of 1,000 Kasbahs to Ouarzazate

Arising early this morning, we’ll venture in comfortable 4x4 jeeps deeper into the vast expanse of the Sahara. The sands are ever-shifting, but our experienced drivers know the dips and rises of the surrounding dunes, and they’ll take us to a fantastic vantage point t...

: Day 6 – Across the High Atlas to Marrakech

Another unforgettable day begins this morning at Kasbah Tifoultoute. Though they lie off the beaten path, these hilltop ruins offer deep insight into the relationship between traditional Moroccan architecture and daily life. Next up is Aït Benhaddou #WHS#, a UNESCO Wo...

: Day 7 - Explore Imperial Marrakech #WHS#

The tranquil pace (not to mention the plain old-fashioned fun!) of riding a horse-drawn carriage is the best way we know to experience the timeless atmosphere of this ancient Imperial city. Founded in the 11th century during the Almoravid Dynasty, Marrakech is blessed...

: Day 8 – A Day in the Ourika Valley

We’ll set out this morning in our comfortable Land Cruisers, leaving behind us the bustling pace of Marrakech. Traveling into a tranquil land of olive groves and citrus orchards, we’ll see the peaks of the Atlas Mountains drawing nearer as we make our way into the Our...

: Day 9 - Flavors and Sights of Marrakech

Moroccan cuisine reflects a rich blend of Mediterranean, Arabic, Andalusian and Berber culinary traditions – and the result is a varied palette of textures, spices, ingredients and flavors. Fresh vegetables are widely used along with beef, lamb, chicken and the freshe...

: Day 10 – To Essaouira on the Atlantic Coast

After a leisurely breakfast, we’ll depart midmorning for the short overland journey to Essaouira. En route, we’ll pass through groves of Argan trees. Indigenous to southwestern Morocco and living for up to 200 years, this flowering tree is the source of a small aprico...

: Day 11 - Discover Essaouira #WHS#

Our day begins at a local bakery where sweet and savory pastries are prepared using generations-old family recipes. Sample some for yourself before we explore the old city fortifications. Designed by European engineers in the 1700’s, these massive seaside ramparts are...

: Day 12 -  Along the coast to Oualidia and Casablanca

Leaving Essaouira behind this morning, we’ll travel to Safi – an ancient port now celebrated for the skill and artistry of its potters and ceramic artisans. At the Kechla, a monumental citadel built by the Portuguese in the 1500’s, we’ll find many of these local artis...

: Day 13 - Depart Casablanca

You’ll be escorted to the airport for your homeward journey. meals b
