Begin your morning with a visit to the Kasbah of the Udayas, a UNESCO World Heritage site that overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. Wander through its peaceful white-and-blue lanes, inhale the scent of jasmine from nearby courtyards, and take in sweeping sea views from its ramparts.

Awaken to the cool mountain air and the soothing silence that makes Chefchaouen so beloved among travelers. Today’s journey invites you to slow down and truly absorb the beauty that surrounds you.

Stroll through the medina’s narrow lanes, where every shade of blue tells a different story — some say it’s for spirituality, others for peace, or simply to mirror the color of the sky. Pause at Plaza Uta el-Hammam, the lively heart of the town, framed by the Grand Mosque and the Kasbah. Enjoy a mint tea at a café terrace as you watch the world drift by, locals greeting one another with warmth and calm.

After a peaceful morning in the blue alleys of Chefchaouen, your 12-day luxury tour continues toward Morocco’s historic heartlands. The day unfolds as a passage through time — from the Roman Empire to the golden age of Moroccan sultans.

Your first stop is Volubilis, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the best-preserved Roman ruins in North Africa. Walk among its ancient columns and intricate mosaics depicting mythological scenes — remnants of a civilization that once thrived here nearly 2,000 years ago.

Fes is a city of layers — every street, doorway, and artisan’s workshop reveals centuries of craftsmanship and devotion. Today, you’ll delve deep into its essence with your expert local guide.

Begin with the Merenid Tombs, perched on a hill overlooking the medina. From this vantage point, the panoramic view of Fes unfolds — a sea of terracotta rooftops, minarets, and winding alleys that have stood for over a millennium.

Descend into the old medina, Fes el-Bali, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the world’s largest car-free urban zones.

As you reach the Ziz Valley, stop for a breathtaking panoramic view of its endless palm groves — a ribbon of green cutting through ochre cliffs. Soon after, the first dunes of Erg Chebbi appear on the horizon, glowing in the late afternoon light.

Upon arrival in Merzouga, your camels await to take you across the dunes to your luxury desert camp. As you ride into the heart of the Sahara, the sun begins to set, casting a golden glow across the sand.

Tonight, you’ll dine under the stars on a gourmet Moroccan feast — tagines, couscous, and freshly baked bread — followed by the rhythmic beat of Berber drums around the campfire. This evening, surrounded by silence and starlight, you’ll experience the magic of the desert at its most profound.

Begin with a visit to Dayet Sriji, the seasonal lake of Merzouga — a peaceful oasis where flamingos and migratory birds gather when water fills the basin. Continue to the Hassi Labied Oasis, where local families cultivate date palms and crops using ancient underground irrigation systems, a living example of desert ingenuity.

Next, travel to Khamlia, known as the “Village of the Blacks.” Here, descendants of Sub-Saharan Africans preserve their unique Gnawa music and traditions. Enjoy a cup of mint tea while listening to a soulful performance that connects rhythm and spirituality in an unforgettable way.

For lunch, Enjoy a picnic in the dunes  for intimate encounters with desert life, tast Medfouna (the “Berber pizza”) cooked beneath the sand.

Later, visit Rissani, the ancient capital of the Alaouite dynasty and an important caravan trading post. Explore its bustling souk, famous for its spices, dates, and traditional crafts, before stopping at a nearby ksar, a fortified village made of earth and straw still inhabited today. 

Return to your hotel in Merzouga in the late afternoon. Relax by the pool as the sun dips below the dunes, reflecting on a day filled with the music, traditions, and humanity.

Day 8 :Merzouga to Ouarzazate via Todra Gorges and Skoura

Your first stop is Tinerhir, a charming town nestled between the High Atlas and Anti-Atlas Mountains. Here, you’ll visit the dramatic Todra Gorges, where sheer cliffs of limestone rise nearly 300 meters high.

This is one of Morocco’s most awe-inspiring natural wonders — a photographer’s paradise and a peaceful retreat for nature lovers.

Continue through the Dades Valley, known as the “Valley of a Thousand Kasbahs,” where traditional earthen fortresses stand guard over fertile oases and rose fields. As you travel through the Valley of Roses, the air becomes infused with a delicate floral scent, especially during harvest season in spring.

Next, you’ll reach the Skoura Oasis, a lush expanse of palm groves dotted with mud-brick kasbahs and small Berber villages. It’s a perfect example of Morocco’s timeless harmony between man and nature.

Accompanied by a local mountain guide, embark on a light trek through the terraced fields and Berber villages that dot the Imlil Valley. As you walk along stone paths shaded by walnut and cherry trees, you’ll encounter villagers tending their crops and mules carrying supplies up the slopes.
