THE JOURNEY, DAY BY DAY

Seven days, one by one

Panoramic view of the blue town of Chefchaouen
Day01

Tangier · Chefchaouen

Tangier → Tetouan → Chefchaouen

Pickup at Tangier airport at your flight's arrival time, with a sign bearing the agency's name, and the drive to Chefchaouen through Tetouan. The town was founded as a secret base for attacks on the Portuguese along the northern coast, and Europeans were barred from entering until 1920. Today it is a holy town set on the mountainside, inside a biosphere reserve, with streets painted white and blue. Arrival and free afternoon.

Overnight: riad in the medina · Chefchaouen

Dye pits at a Fez tannery
Day02

Chefchaouen · Fez

Chefchaouen → Fez

The drive to Fez, one of the country's first political, religious, and cultural capitals, founded in the late 8th century. On arrival, your tour with a local guide begins: the golden gates of the Royal Palace, then the walled medina, with its mosques, madrasas, and old caravanserais. The tour ends in the tanners' quarter.

Overnight: riad · Fez

Camels arriving at a tented camp in the dunes at sunset
Day03

Fez · Ifrane · Midelt · Merzouga

Fez → Ifrane · Azrou · Midelt · Erfoud → Merzouga

A long day south. Ifrane, known as the Switzerland of Morocco for its architecture, and Azrou, a Berber town in the country's largest cedar forest. You cross Midelt, known for its minerals and apples, and follow the Ziz Valley down to Erfoud, with a stop to see its fossils. At the edge of the desert you leave the car and continue by camel to camp.

Overnight: camp in the dunes · Merzouga

The winding road of the Dades Gorges at sunset
Day04

Merzouga · Rissani · Todra · Dades

Merzouga → Rissani · Todra → Dades Valley

An early start to watch sunrise over the dunes, then breakfast. You visit the Rissani market, frequented by the area's nomads, and a fossil marble workshop in Erfoud. Then the palm groves of Touroug and Tinejdad to the Todra Gorge, with time to walk between its rock walls. In the afternoon you continue to the Dades Valley for dinner and the night.

The ksar of Aït Ben Haddou, its mud-brick kasbahs climbing the hill
Day05

Dades · Aït Ben Haddou · Marrakech

You leave through the Valley of Roses and the Skoura palm grove, passing Ouarzazate. Visit Aït Ben Haddou, the fortified kasbah listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a set for films such as Gladiator. Then you cross the High Atlas over the Tizi n'Tichka pass, at 2,260 m (7,415 ft), and descend toward Marrakech.

Marrakech, guided tour

Marrakech → full day → local guide

Guided tour of Marrakech. Jemaa el Fna square takes up a good part of the day, but the city has much more: the Majorelle Garden, the Menara, the Saadian Tombs, the medina, the Mellah or old Jewish quarter, a walk along the walls, and Gueliz, the modern city. Whatever you don't see with the guide is left for your free time.

Overnight: same riad · Marrakech
