7-Day Moroccan Adventure Tour and Luxury Desert Camp under Stars

Upon arrival at Marrakech Menara Airport, our driver will warmly greet you and transfer you to your traditional riad in the old medina. If you arrive early, enjoy some rest before meeting your expert city guide. Your first introduction to Marrakech includes visits to the elegant 19th-century Bahia Palace, filled with intricate carvings and serene courtyards, and the charming Secret Garden, a hidden oasis nestled in the heart of the medina. Explore the lively souks and enjoy a mint tea on a rooftop terrace overlooking Jamaa el-Fnaa.

Dinner and overnight in a Marrakech riad.

After breakfast, we set off through the scenic High Atlas Mountains via the winding Tizi n’Tichka Pass. We’ll stop at picturesque Berber villages and visit the historic Telouet Kasbah. Later, arrive at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ait Ben Haddou, a famous fortified village used as a filming location for numerous Hollywood movies. Continue through Ouarzazate and the palm groves of Skoura to reach the Dades Valley. Along the way, you’ll admire the breathtaking Rose Valley and the surreal rock formations of the “Monkey Fingers.”

Today we journey to the majestic Todra Gorges, where you’ll walk beneath 300-meter cliffs that tower above a narrow riverbed. After some free time, we travel through the Berber towns of Tinjdad and Erfoud before reaching the golden dunes of Merzouga. Enjoy a refreshing tea at the desert lodge, then take a camel ride into the dunes as the sun begins to set. After arriving at your luxury desert camp, enjoy Berber drumming under the stars and a delicious dinner.

Rise early to watch the sunrise over the dunes—an unforgettable moment. After breakfast, we depart through the Ziz Valley, rich with palm groves and oases. Stop in Midelt for lunch, then continue through the cedar forests of Azrou, home to the native Barbary macaques. Pass through Ifrane, known as “Morocco’s Switzerland” for its alpine-style architecture. By late afternoon, we reach Fes, where you’ll check in to a peaceful riad in the medina.

This morning, your local guide will lead you through Fes’s labyrinthine old medina, one of the world’s most preserved medieval cities. Visit the Royal Palace gates, the world’s oldest university—Al Quaraouiyine, the colorful tanneries, and artisan quarters like Seffarine and Attarine. After lunch, travel north through the Rif Mountains to reach the blue-washed town of Chefchaouen.

After breakfast, enjoy a short morning walk through Chefchaouen’s peaceful alleys, painted in every shade of blue. Then drive to Rabat, Morocco’s capital, where you’ll explore the impressive Hassan Tower, the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, and the fortified Oudayas Kasbah overlooking the Atlantic. Continue to Casablanca for the evening.

Begin your morning with a visit to the grand Hassan II Mosque, one of the largest and most beautiful mosques in the world, perched above the sea. Depending on your flight schedule, either enjoy free time or return to Marrakech for your departure.
