Itinerary
Our tour of Morocco starts in Rabat, the political and administrative capital of Morocco since 1956. With its palm lined streets, manicured boulevards and easy going pace of life, Rabat is the perfect place to start our Moroccan adventure. If you arrive to the ci...
Our first stop is Rabat's historic centre. After taking in the views across the city including the Oued Bou Regreg river estuary, we'll walk over to Rabat's most famous landmark, the intricately carved Hassan Tower. The marble interior of the Mausoleum of Mohammed V l...
Set beneath the towering peaks of the Rif Mountains, we have a full day to delve into the treasures of Morocco's 'blue town', Chefchaouen, one of the most attractive towns in Morocco. After breakfast, accompanied by our tour leader we'll take a stroll into the medina....
Crossing the Rif Mountains, we make our way to the ancient ruins of Volubilis. Morocco's best-preserved Roman site, Volubilis was once the capital of the province of Mauritania Tingitana and home to 20,000 people. We'll take the chance to explore the UNESCO World Heri...
Today, we'll wake up in the oldest of Morocco's imperial cities, Fes. In its golden age, Fes was a hub of art, philosophy and trade and is still referred to as Morocco's artisan capital. This morning, we'll delve into Fes el-Bali, the oldest quarter of the city, wi...
After breakfast, we'll leave Fes driving along the foothills of the Atlas mountains to Ouzoud. Today is a longer travelling day with around six hours of driving. Along the way we'll make a stop for a short walk in the Atlas cedar forest in Azrou, where there's a good ...

Today we'll dive straight into the heady delights of Marrakech with a guided tour of the city. Marrakech is a destination like no other, offering a vibrant new sight, sound, or scent at every turn. We'll pass by the rose-coloured Koutoubia (booksellers) Mosque on the ...
Heading west after breakfast, we'll reach the shores of the Atlantic Ocean and the quaint port town of Essaouira. Set inside 15-century Portuguese fortifications, Essaouira is a charming seaside spot to recoup after a busy few days. We'll aim to arrive around lunch ti...
This morning our tour leader will help us get our bearings with a two to three hour orientation tour. The town has a rich and somewhat colourful history and its importance as a trading port during the 18th and 19th centuries saw it prosper, attracting British, French,...
The morning is left free. With a near constant sea breeze coming off the Atlantic, even in the hottest months of the year taking a stroll along the town's expansive beach is a very pleasant experience. Visit the port to see the fishermen land their catch or wander th...
Our tour of Morocco ends at our riad in Essaouira after breakfast. A transfer to Marrakesh Menara Airport (RAK) is included on all trips in our Upgraded range regardless of your departure day, provided we receive your flight details no later than 10 days prior to your tour departing.
