Meet and greet at Casablanca airport, then discover the economic capital of the kingdom and its largest city. Start your Casablanca city tour with a visit to the exterior of the splendid Hassan II Mosque, then visit Habous Charter, the oldest area in Casablanca. Depart along the coast to visit the political capital of Morocco: Rabat.

Next to the palace, you will see the impressive and unmatched Mohammed V Mausoleum and the Hassan Tower, the landmark of Rabat and one of the oldest mosques.
After breakfast, continue touring the city of Rabat with a visit to the Oudaya Kasbah: Rabat’s old medina and Chella Necropolis where the Roman and Islamic ruins lay side by side whispering endless stories of centuries past. Leave Rabat passing vast agricultural fields to the second imperial city of Meknes to take pictures of the massive Bab El Mansour Gate. The city tour of Meknes includes the Harri Souani stables, the old medina and the beautiful royal palace. Depart for the sacred city of Moulay Idriss. You may have time for a stop at this beautiful little city before visiting the Roman ruins of Volubilis.

Today, around 9 AM, you will get under the skin of Fes's ancient medina and historical highlights on this full-day tour; With a knowledgeable local guide, you will discover the largest old Medina in the world, Morocco’s spiritual and intellectual capital and home. The city’s numerous monuments have thousands of stories to tell, visit Jemaa El Karaouyine (the first university to be established in the world), the Mederssa Bounania, the tanneries and artisan quarters and the fascinating souks are just some of the many places to see.
Leaving Fez with its fantastic history, head to a totally different part of Morocco. On the way to Erfoud pass through many Berber cities and villages, the first of which are the cities of Ifrane and Azrou. Ifrane, nicknamed Morocco’s Switzerland, is a very beautiful little town with very charming European style homes and Azrou, a Berber village known for its handicraft cooperatives. Continue via Midelt, the Ziz River and a series of fortified villages’ en route to Erfoud. From Erfoud, it’s another 40 minutes across an immense palm oasis and a vast area of stony desert to get Merzouga, where we’ve selected a charming kasbah hotel on the outskirts of the Erg Chebbi sand dunes. Then at 4 pm we will ride our camels, trekking across the desert, will take us to a Berber camp in the middle of the Erg Chebbi sand dunes, some rising of 820 feet), the highest in North Africa. The camp consists of six luxurious Berber tents equipped with mattresses, linen, toilets, a restaurant, and a kitchen. dinner is included followed by a traditional music show, then shooting stars show.
If you would like, your camel guide will wake you up early so that you can watch the spectacle of sunrise, when the color of the sand contrasts beautifully with the play of shadows on the dunes. Afterwards you may even want to try to sand-board down some of the dunes. After a cup of tea, we will ride the camels back to the kasbah, where we will be able to freshen up before heading out of town and through Tinghir, a beautiful green valley more than 40km in length and filled with palm trees, olives, almonds, and many other local crops. We will continue to the Todra Gorge, known as "Morocco's Grand Canyon", as well as the Valley of the Roses, famous for its Rose Festival in May, and over the "Road of 1000 Kasbahs" by the Skoura Oasis before arriving in Ouarzazate (pronounced Warza-zat), a city in the middle of a barren plateau at an altitude of 1160 meters, established at the crossroads of all routes going north, south, east, and west. We will stop here to have dinner and spend the night.
After breakfast we will take some time to explore Ouarzazate, which is known as the "Hollywood of Morocco". Ouarzazate's studios have produced films including "Lawrence of Arabia", "Alexander the Great", "The Last Temptation of Christ" and "The Living Daylights", and you will have the chance to visit Atlas Studios, one of the most famous studios in Africa, to see where many of these blockbusters were shot. You will also have the chance to visit the iconic Taourirt Kasbah, which was once the seat of power for the powerful Glaoui clan that once controlled this region. We will leave Ouarzazate for Marrakech, first stopping at the nearby Kasbah Ait Benhaddou, the most famous kasbah in Morocco, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the backdrop for many of Ouarzazate's films including notably "Lawrence of Arabia". In the afternoon we will continue north across the High Atlas Mountains. The road, completed by the French Foreign Legion in 1936, winds up over the Tizi n'Tichka Pass and offers stunning views over the mountains before descending past Berber villages to the plains surrounding Marrakech. Even today, the name Marrakech conjures up scenery from Arabian Nights - alleyways, souks, and market stalls. This remarkable city, with the graceful architecture of the renowned 11th-century Koutoubia Minaret dominating the skyline, never fails to satisfy the curiosity of adventurous travelers. We will have dinner in Marrakech and spend the night.
