ITINERARY OF 10 DAYS
PACKAGE FROM FES
Day 1 | Arrival in Fes
Welcome to the Soul of Morocco
Your adventure begins the moment you land. Step off the plane and into a thousand years of history. A private transfer whisks you to your riad — a traditional Moroccan guesthouse tucked behind unmarked doors, where hidden courtyards, citrus trees, and mosaic fountains offer your first taste of Moroccan hospitality.
Settle in, sip a glass of fresh mint tea on the rooftop terrace, and watch the sun set over the world’s oldest continuously inhabited medieval city. Tonight, rest well — tomorrow, Fes reveals its secrets.
Overnight: Fes
Day 2 | Fes Medina Discovery
Get Lost (On Purpose) in a UNESCO World Heritage Wonder
Today you dive headfirst into Fes El Bali, the largest car-free urban area on Earth and a living museum of medieval Islamic civilization. Wander over 9,000 narrow alleyways with an expert local guide, weaving past the iconic Chouara Tannery, the ancient Al Quaraouiyine University (the oldest operating university in the world), ornate madrasas, and bustling souks bursting with color, spice, and craftsmanship.
Watch artisans at work — leather tanners, metal engravers, ceramicists — practicing techniques passed down for generations. Taste your way through the spice markets and bring home a story with every purchase.
Overnight: Fes
Day 3 | Fes __ Ifrane __Midelt
From Imperial City to Morocco’s “Little Switzerland”
Leave the medina behind and journey south into the Middle Atlas Mountains. Your first stop is Ifrane — a surreal alpine town of red-roofed chalets, manicured gardens, and pine forests that feels worlds away from the Morocco you just left. Keep an eye out for the region’s famous Barbary macaques along the roadside cedar forests.
Continue through changing landscapes — mountains give way to high plateaus — as you arrive in Midelt, a quiet gateway town perched between the Middle and High Atlas ranges. Tonight, unwind before the desert adventure truly begins.
Overnight: Midelt
Day 4 | Midelt __ Ziz Valley __ Sahara Desert
Into the Heart of the Sahara
Descend through the dramatic Ziz Gorges, where the road clings to canyon walls above the emerald ribbon of the Ziz Valley and its endless palm groves. Stop to admire panoramic viewpoints over one of Morocco’s most spectacular oases before continuing toward Erfoud and the edge of the Sahara.
As the sun begins to lower, trade your vehicle for a camel. Ride into the legendary dunes of Merzouga as the desert transforms into a sea of shifting gold and amber. Arrive at your desert camp under a blanket of stars, where a traditional Berber dinner and music around the campfire await.
Overnight: Desert Camp, Merzouga
Day 5 | Full Day in the Desert
Sahara Magic, Uninterrupted
Wake before dawn to climb the dunes and witness one of travel’s most iconic sights: sunrise over the Sahara. Spend the day immersed in desert life — explore on foot, by camel, or by 4×4 across the erg; visit a nomadic Berber family; discover desert wildlife and fossils; or simply sit in the silence of one of the last truly wild places on Earth.
As night falls again, the desert sky ignites with more stars than you’ve ever seen. This is the day your itinerary becomes a memory.
Overnight: Desert Camp, Merzouga
Day 6 | Desert __ Rissani __ Todgha Gorge __ Dades Valley
Kasbahs, Canyons, and Ancient Nomad market
Bid farewell to the dunes and head to Rissani, once the terminus of the trans-Saharan caravan trade and burial place of Morocco’s royal Alaouite dynasty. Explore its atmospheric souk before continuing to the Todgha Gorge — towering 300-meter limestone canyon walls carved by centuries of river flow, a favorite among climbers and photographers alike.
End your day winding through the Dades Valley, known as the “Valley of a Thousand Kasbahs,” where fortified earthen architecture clings to dramatic rock formations sculpted into surreal shapes by wind and time.
Overnight: Dades Valley
Day 7 | Dades Valley __ Ait Ben Haddou __ Marrakech
Hollywood’s Favorite Kasbah & the Road to the Red City
Cross the High Atlas Mountains via the legendary Tizi n’Tichka pass, one of the most scenic drives in North Africa. Your reward: Ait Ben Haddou, a spectacular UNESCO-listed fortified village of earthen kasbahs that has starred in Gladiator, Game of Thrones, and countless other productions. Explore its ancient granaries and rooftop terraces before the final descent into Marrakech.
Arrive as evening settles over the Red City — check into your riad and prepare for the sensory explosion that awaits.
Overnight: Marrakech
Day 8 | Full Day Marrakech Medina
The Red City in Full Color
Immerse yourself in Marrakech’s UNESCO-listed medina. Explore the ornate Bahia Palace, the tranquil Saadian Tombs, and the stunning Koutoubia Mosque. Wander the souks — a dazzling maze of lanterns, leather goods, spices, textiles, and treasures — with a knowledgeable guide who knows exactly where to find the best of each craft.
As the sun sets, experience the theater of Jemaa el-Fnaa square: snake charmers, storytellers, musicians, and food stalls sizzling with Morocco’s best street food. This is Marrakech at its most alive.
Overnight: Marrakech
Day 9 | Day Trip to Essaouira
Atlantic Breezes and Bohemian Charm
Escape the desert heat for a day at the coast. Essaouira, a UNESCO World Heritage fishing port, greets you with whitewashed ramparts, blue-shuttered buildings, and a laid-back, artistic energy that has drawn writers, musicians, and free spirits for decades. Wander the fortified medina, browse thuya-wood workshops and art galleries, watch fishermen haul in the day’s catch at the bustling port, and enjoy the freshest seafood in Morocco.
Feel the Atlantic wind in your hair before returning to Marrakech for your final evening.
Overnight: Marrakech
Day 10 | Departure (Marrakech or Casablanca)
Until Next Time, Morocco
Your journey comes full circle. Depending on your flight, enjoy a final Moroccan breakfast before a private transfer to Marrakech Menara Airport — or an extended transfer to Casablanca for onward connections. You leave with sand still in your shoes, spices in your suitcase, and memories that will last a lifetime.
Ma’a salama — safe travels.
