8 Day Morocco Tour from Rabat to Marrakech

Awaken in Chefchaouen’s azure dream, where morning strolls through Outa el-Hammam reveal the 15th-century kasbah and Great Mosque’s soaring octagonal minaret. Wander cobbled alleys, feel leather tapestries and woven magic in the souks’ blue embrace. After a gourmet lunch crafted to your tastes, journey through the Rif Mountains in a private carriage to Fes, founded in 789 CE. Rest in a luxury riad with starlit courtyards and elixir baths for ultimate comfort.

After a bespoke breakfast in your luxury riad, step into Fes’s medieval tale with Vivid Morocco Tours’ master enchanter. Wander the UNESCO-listed medina, a 9th-century labyrinth, visiting the Royal Palace gate, Jewish Mellah (1438), Al Qaraouine University—the world’s oldest from 859 CE—Tanneries alive with ancient dye spells, and Moulay Idriss Mausoleum, heart of the Idrisid founding. Savor a gourmet feast, then ascend for a panoramic view of timeless Fes. Drift through tile cooperatives before returning to your riad’s moonlit repose.

With a gourmet breakfast fueling your quest, depart Fes in a private enchanted carriage by Vivid Morocco Tours. Pause in Ifrane, Morocco’s “Switzerland,” with fairy-like chalets.

At dawn, your camel guide calls you to climb dunes and witness a breathtaking sunrise, echoing 7th-century Arab tales, crafted by Vivid Morocco Tours. After a gourmet breakfast and refreshing shower, camel trek back to Merzouga’s golden Erg Chebbi. Travel by private enchanted carriage to Rissani, a Saadian trade hub, then to Tinghir’s 10th-century oasis. Explore Todgha Gorges, towering 300-meter cliffs steeped in Berber legend. Dine in the gorge’s heart before retreating to a luxurious guesthouse in Dades Valley, with stunning views and gourmet comforts.

Dine near the square, then explore souks with private atelier access. Wander Gueliz, the 20th-century new city, before returning to your palatial riad for moonlit repose.

After a gourmet breakfast, bid farewell to Marrakech in a private enchanted carriage.
