Today is free for you to explore Marrakech as you like. You can take a day trip to the beautiful Atlas Mountains to see amazing views and learn about Berber life, or visit Essaouira, a charming coastal town with a historic port. If you prefer, relax in a spa with a traditional hammam, try a cooking class to learn Moroccan recipes, or simply wander the city’s streets to discover its hidden treasures. End the day with dinner at your hotel or a local restaurant.

Leave Marrakech this morning and travel through the stunning Atlas Mountains with your private driver. Enjoy amazing views of mountains and green valleys as you cross the range. Then visit Ait Ben Haddou, a beautiful old kasbah on a hill, famous as a film location for movies like “Lawrence of Arabia” and “Gladiator.” Continue to Ouarzazate, another filming hotspot. Check into your hotel and relax. Driving time is about 4 hours.

After breakfast, visit the famous Atlas Cinema Studios in Ouarzazate, known as the “Hollywood of Africa.” Many popular films like “Game of Thrones,” “Gladiator,” and “James Bond” were shot here. Then, travel through palm groves and fragrant rose fields to Todra Gorge, Morocco’s “Grand Canyon,” with stunning cliffs that change color in the sun.

Next, arrive in Merzouga in the Sahara Desert and switch to a 4×4 for a thrilling ride over golden dunes to your desert camp. Enjoy a beautiful sunset, a traditional dinner by the campfire, and a magical night in a cozy Berber tent under the stars.

Wake up early for a camel ride into the dunes to watch a stunning desert sunrise with beautiful orange and pink skies. Return to camp for a hearty Berber breakfast before checking out. Then, travel by road to Fez, crossing the Atlas Mountains. Enjoy views of cedar forests with Barbary monkeys and nomadic Berbers. Stop in Ifrane, a charming town that looks like a Swiss village, before arriving at your hotel in Fez for a relaxing dinner.

Today, explore the rich history and culture of Fez, Morocco’s cultural capital. A local guide will take you through the busy streets and maze-like alleys. Visit lively souks full of spices and crafts, Nejjarine Square with its famous fountain, the beautiful Bou Inania Madrasa, the sacred Mausoleum of Moulay Idriss II, and the Karaouiyine Mosque, which hosts the world’s oldest university, founded in 859 AD.

You’ll have a full day to explore Fez at your own pace. You can relax at a traditional hammam for a true local experience or shop at the Henna Souk, known for henna and beautiful ceramics. Don’t miss the stunning Golden Gates of the Royal Palace, perfect for photos. End your day with a nice dinner back at your hotel, enjoying the city’s calm after a day of discovery.

After breakfast, enjoy a scenic drive to the Rif Mountains and the famous Blue City, Chefchaouen. On the way, visit Meknes, the fortified Ismailia capital. See the grand Bab Mansour gate, the large Herri Essouani granaries, and explore the old Jewish Quarter. Visit the beautiful Moulay Ismail Shrine and the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis. Arrive in Chefchaouen in the late afternoon and check into your hotel. Driving time is about 4 to 4.5 hours.

Chefchaouen is a beautiful mountain town famous for its blue Andalusian-style buildings. Founded in the 15th century by Moors and Jews fleeing Spain’s Reconquista, its history shows in every street. Stroll through the charming alleys and visit Uta el-Hammam, the lively town square where locals relax in cafes. Chefchaouen gives visitors a peaceful, rural feel—a calm break from Morocco’s busy cities.

With a local guide, explore the 12th-century Hassan Tower, the beautiful Mausoleum of Mohammed V, ancient Roman ruins, and the Kasbah des Oudaias, which offers great sea views. After touring Rabat, continue to Casablanca, arriving in the mid-afternoon to end this part of your journey.

Casablanca, Morocco’s biggest city and main port, sits on the Atlantic coast. Though the modern city started in 1770, people have lived here since the 7th century B.C. In the morning, your driver will take you on a guided tour. You’ll visit lively Mohammed V Square, the stunning Hassan II Mosque (one of the world’s largest), and enjoy a walk along the Corniche waterfront with beautiful ocean views.

Your amazing Morocco journey ends today. When it’s time, your driver will take you privately from your hotel to Casablanca International Airport, making sure you arrive early for your flight.
