Hello explorers, welcome to Casablanca. The city where ocean air, bold architecture, and big-city buzz all collide. Meet your crew, get the intros done, then enjoy a free evening to wander the corniche, sip mint tea, and lock in your first tagine. Tomorrow we kick into gear.
Grab brekkie and grab your bags, because we’re hitting the road to Chefchaouen, the famous Blue City where every alley is basically a photoshoot.On arrival, we’ll head out on a short orientation to get your bearings, then it’s free time to do you. Think rooftop views, cute cafes, and blue-on-blue streets that keep the camera roll working overtime. There’s an optional Arabic Calligraphy Class if you want to learn the art of those perfect swoops and the stories behind the script.
Bye bye, blue beauty. Time to hit the road to Fes, the cultural capital and chaos-in-the-best-way medina city. Hello Fes. Our Local Guide will show us around as we weave past the maze-like lanes, buzzing souks, and artisan workshops that haven’t changed in generations. Tonight’s yours to play with, maybe scout a viewpoint, browse the night markets, or hunt down the best pastilla with your mates.
Yep, another free day to roam. Get lost on purpose, snack your way through the stalls, and practise your bargaining skills like a pro. Want to dive deeper? The optional guided tour of the Medina of Fes is a solid move, plus a Moroccan storytelling experience of Hiyakat if you’re keen for legends, laughs, and local lore.
Today, we'll leave behind the ancient city of Fes and head for the Sahara. This drive is the ultimate scene switch as we roll through the Middle Atlas, cedar forests, and mountain towns, then watch the landscape flip into palm-filled valleys and desert plains as we get closer to Merzouga. Today is all about desert time. We'll trek through the dunes on camelback (just like the locals), then come together for an included dinner with the crew. Tonight’s vibe = toes in the sand, warm air, and a sky full of stars that makes city lights look pointless.
This morning, we'll drive through rugged landscapes and epic natural stops, passing ancient kasbahs and palm valleys as we cruise part of the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs. The route brings us towards Aït Ben Haddou - Morocco’s movie-famous fortress village. If this place feels like a film set, it's because it basically is. We'll kick off with an orientation of this striking red-earth village with its stacked houses, narrow lanes, and fortress walls that glow at golden hour. Then you've got free time after to explore the kasbah paths, pick a rooftop spot, and watch the light change over the valley.
Next stop, Marrakesh. We'll cross the High Atlas Mountains via the winding Tizi n’Tichka Pass, with big views, tiny hillside villages, and plenty of “pull over for a pic” moments along the way. First, we'll visit a rug cooperative to see the craft up close (and support the women who make it happen). Then it’s guided tour time, weaving through the medina, souks, and historic sights that give Marrakesh its legendary energy. Hungry? An optional Moroccan cooking class is up for grabs. Want the ultimate reset? Opt in for a massage at a hammam spa to finish the day feeling brand new.
Our Moroccan adventure comes to an end after breakfast. Say goodbye to the red city, the beautiful views, and your even-better crew.
