Detailed Itinerary |

|
Day 1 Casablanca Welcome to Casablanca, the
most colourful and cosmopolitan metropolis in the Northern
Africa. This evening you will meet your fellow travellers
and tour leader, who will brief you on the next few days of
your journey. We remain in Casablanca overnight. Day 2 Casablanca, Rabat, Fes After breakfast we begin to explore this unique city. We visit the United Nations Square, the Anfa Residential Quarter and the impressive Mosque of Hassan II. We then make our way to Rabat, set in a rich, amber-coloured landscape combining ancient history with modern Moroccon culture. After visiting the Royal Palace, Chellah Ruins, Hassan Tower, Mohamed V Mausoleum and the Oudayas Gardens, we depart for Fes, where we stay overnight. Day 3 Fes Today we stroll through the oldest imperial city of Morrocco with more than 10.000 tiny streets offering the largest “medina” (old city) and souks in the world. The Bab Boujloud Gate, Bou Inania Medersa, Moulay Idriss Mausoleum, Andalusian and Quaraouiyine Mosque, Najjarine Square and the Spices Market, Atarine Medersa, the surroundings of Karaouine Medina and Mellah are the sites visited today. We remain in Fes overnight. Day 4 Fes, Midelt, Erfoud This morning we travel to Midelt passing through the Atlas mountains. Midelt is an impressive mountain city at 1488 meters above sea level, remarkably situated down the jbel Ayachi (3737 m). In the afternoon we continue to Erfoud via the canyon of Ziz and the lake of the Hassan Addakhil reservoir. We arrive in Erfoud, the city situated at the gates of Tafilalet for an overnight stay. Day 5 Erfoud, Tineghir, Todra Gorges, Ouarzazate You have the option of an early morning excursion to the sand dunes of Merzouga before departing for Ouarzazate. After breakfast we leave for Tineghir by passing through the breathtaking desert landscape and Oasis with its fantastic palmgroves. We then travel to Todra Gorges, the narrow canyon where 300 meters high cliffs drop to the riverbed below. In the afternoon we arrive in Ouarzazate, the city famous for its handicrafts, nature, narrow streets and the marvellous surrounding kasbahs. Day 6 Ouarzazate, Marrakech Today we visit Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou, one of the most authentic and well maintained villages in the region of Atlas, then proceed to Marrakech via the High Atlas mountain and 2700 meters high Tizi n Tichka pass - offering magnificent views and a unique landscape. We arrive in Marrakech in the afternoon and begin to explore this fascinating city. Marrakech is the point where the Arab culture of the cities meets the Berber culture of the mountain villages; where the weary sub-Saharan traders (carrying gold, salt and slaves) would ply their wares to the merchants who then took them to Europe. We wander through the Djemaa el Fna Square filled with story tellers, snake charmers, acrobats, musicians, folklore dancers and remain in Marrakech overnight. Day 7 Marrakech Framed by the snowy heights of the Atlas, with rose-coloured ramparts and a thousand year old palm grove, Marrakech casts a magic spell and after breakfast we fall under it as we visit Menara Gardens, Koutoubia Mosque, Saadian Tumbs, Bahia Palace and Dar Si Said Museum. You have the afternoon free to lose yourself in the city’s mystique. Day 8 Marrakech, Casablanca We depart for Casablanca early in the morning where our journey concludes at around 12:00 noon. |
