day 2 - Rabat to Fes – Hassan Tower and the Roman Ruins
Today, immerse yourself in the regal ambiance of Rabat before embarking on a journey to explore other imperial cities.
Begin your royal road trip with a visit to the awe-inspiring Hassan Tower monument, a testament to the grandeur of the Almohad Dynasty. This architectural curiosity features the remnants of a 12th-century mosque minaret, a lofty construction project that was left incomplete. What remains today is the striking red sandstone tower, standing tall at 145 feet (44 meters), surrounded by around 200 columns, offering a glimpse of the grand complex that was once envisioned.
After exploring these historical ruins, make your way to the Mausoleum of Mohamed V, a showcase of intricate tilework, mosaics and craftsmanship that will foreshadow the artistic beauty you'll encounter throughout your Moroccan journey.
As you depart from Rabat, take a detour to Meknes, a historic town with a more manageable medina than you'll find in Fes. The shopkeepers here are welcoming and laid-back, allowing you to leisurely explore the souks filled with spices, slippers, and colorful treasures. With the assistance of your driver, make the most of your stopover with a visit to the scenic Ville Impériale area. Depending on your preferences, you can explore various palaces, gardens, and architectural wonders.
Continue your journey to Moulay Idriss, Morocco's oldest town, which, when viewed from a distance, resembles a sitting camel. This city holds immense religious significance and was founded in the 8th century by Moulay Idriss I, the country's first major Islamic ruler. Learn about the birth of the Idrisid dynasty and be sure to visit the distinctive emerald-green minaret, the only round minaret in Morocco. Your driver will assist you in selecting a charming spot for lunch in this hilltop town.
The royal treatment extends to your visit to Volubilis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site housing the best-preserved Roman ruins in Morocco. Explore the expansive complex, featuring well-preserved merchant homes with ingenious heating systems, intact mosaics, temples, and more. If you desire a deeper exploration, an expert English-speaking guide is at your disposal for a private tour tailored to your interests.
After a day filled with sightseeing, you'll arrive in Fes, where you'll be welcomed at a luxurious five-star riad. These riads serve as an oasis in the imperial city, boasting central courtyards for relaxation and, in some cases, their own hammams on the ground floor. If you seek a more personalized spa experience, you can indulge in a soothing massage in one of Fes's hammams in the evening.
Irrespective of your choice for relaxation, a delectable dinner awaits to conclude your imperial adventure. You can either savor the atmosphere at your exquisite riad or venture out to one of the city's top dining establishments, with the guidance of your driver and local specialists to help you make a superb selection.

day 4 - Fes to Merzouga – Over the Middle Atlas Mountain
Rise early and prepare for an exciting journey to the Sahara Desert. You'll cover a significant distance today, but the landscapes and experiences along the way make it well worth the drive.
Begin with an early breakfast and embark on your road trip by crossing the Middle Atlas Mountains, passing through the town of Azrou, renowned for its majestic Cèdre Gouraud Forest, where you might spot troops of Barbary Macaque monkeys lounging in ancient cedar trees. A lunch stop awaits in Midelt, situated on a cold, high desert plateau, known as Morocco's "Apple City" due to its productive orchards, sustained by year-round water from the Moulouya River.
Continuing your journey, you'll traverse steep mountain ranges, broad valleys, and narrow canyon passes, passing through the Ziz Valley, an essential branch of the ancient Saharan Trade Route, where you'll spot ksars, fortified houses constructed by merchants to safeguard precious cargo like gold, salt, and spices.
As you cross the remarkable Ziz Gorge, the first signs of Saharan dunes emerge. These ever-shifting sand formations often encroach upon farms, roads, and buildings. You'll also notice an ancient water "mining" technique, a clever method to transport water from the mountains to farmlands before modern pumps were available. Keep an eye out for the nomadic shepherds and their tents along the route.
The bustling market town of Erfoud, famous for dates and fossils excavated in hillside mines, awaits further exploration. If you desire, visit a local artisan collective to learn about the region's fossils and witness the transformation of these natural treasures into a variety of products.
The massive Erg Chebbi dunes, a vast sand sea spanning 13 square miles (35 square km), with some dunes reaching heights of over 650 feet (200 meters), will come into view as you approach the iconic outpost of Merzouga.
Here, you'll enjoy a short break to prepare for your desert camp adventure, an unforgettable experience of North African luxury. Embark on a camel trek through the Sahara as the sun sets, offering unobstructed views, with Algeria visible in the distance. Witness the golden glow across the landscape.
As night falls, the moonlight reflecting off the sand will guide you to your unique accommodation for the night, a luxurious camp nestled at the foot of the Erg Chebbi dunes. Immerse yourself in opulent glamping, where you'll be treated like royalty. Relish exquisite meals prepared by local Berber tribesmen, gather around the fire, serenaded by live music, and contemplate the starry skies. Whether you prefer stargazing from your romantic spot or atop the dunes, this night in the Sahara promises an unforgettable experience.
Duration:9 hours
Accommodation: Camping
Meals:Breakfast, Dinner
day 5 - Merzouga to Tinghir – Adventuring in the Todra
For early risers, a spectacular Sahara sunrise over the dunes awaits. Enjoy breakfast at the camp, and then set out for your journey back across the desert to Merzouga.
Once you reunite with your private driver, your 3.5-hour drive to Tinghir begins. Consider a stop in the desert community of Rissani, an excellent place for a stroll through a traditional market where animals are bought and sold. Be sure to visit the unique "donkey parking lot" in the area.
As you continue on your journey, relish the incredible Moroccan landscapes. Traverse a remote and desolate land that borders the Sahara, offering expansive views of desert plains, high mountains, and plateaus. The vast and wild terrain imparts a profound sense of grandeur. You'll witness umbrella-shaped Acacia forests that have adapted to thrive in this harsh environment.
If you wish to break up the drive, stop in the town of Alnif to explore the local fossil workshops and learn about how residents transform fossils into an array of products.
Arriving in the lush Tinghir oasis at the base of the Atlas mountains, take time to unwind and relish a delightful lunch. Enjoy the afternoon exploring this picturesque locale before continuing your journey.
Your road trip leads you through a verdant valley that narrows as you enter the vertical Todra Gorge. Venture out and explore rustic trails that ascend from the canyon, offering breathtaking vistas. Descend into the Todra oasis, where you'll spend the night in a beautifully-appointed Kasbah, a fortified hilltop town constructed from mud bricks and adorned with the finest local products and fossils.
Indulge in luxurious relaxation, then explore the valley for dinner. You'll discover a selection of surprisingly ambitious restaurants in the area. The welcoming locals and serene atmosphere make it an excellent opportunity to explore the oasis after your meal.

day 6 - Tinghir – Ouarzazate
Today, travel along ancient trade routes from Tinghir to Ouarzazate through the Valley of A Thousand Kasbahs. Along the way, you'll encounter numerous iconic fortified towns, providing opportunities for photos and exploration at your leisure.
Your first significant stop is Boumalne Dadès, an oasis town at the entrance of the Valley of A Thousand Kasbahs. For a detour, consider visiting the Dadès Gorge, renowned for its dramatic landscape of rust and mauve-striped mountains. Below lies an irrigated oasis featuring fig, almond, and olive orchards, adorned with crumbling kasbahs and Berber villages. Your driver can provide lunch suggestions in Boumalne Dadès.
Heading south from Boumalne Dades, you'll traverse the Valley of Roses, the heart of rose oil production in Morocco. During the spring harvest of the perfumed Provence Rose, the landscape is filled with a heavenly fragrance.
Conclude the day in Ouarzazate, a town renowned for its involvement in the Moroccan film industry. Just a short distance from town, you'll visit the iconic ksar of Ait Benhaddou, believed to date back to the 11th century when it served as a prominent stop along the trans-Saharan trade route connecting Marrakech, Ouarzazate, and the southern desert.
Tonight, retire to your private kasbah located across a dry riverbed from Ait Benhaddou. If you're inclined to venture out, consider a nighttime stroll, where the moonlight reflecting off the white sand illuminates the entire valley, creating an enchanting sight.
Accommodation:5 Star Hotel
Meals:Breakfast, Dinner
day 7 - Ouarzazate – Marrakech
Today, cross the High Atlas Mountains, transitioning from the quiet of the desert to the bustling city of Marrakech. If you wish, take a final morning exploration of Ait Benhaddou in the soft morning light.
Navigate the winding roads of the Tizi-n-Tichka pass through the towering High Atlas Mountains. Near the pass's summit, relish panoramic views of the mountains and the plains of Marrakech below. Keep an eye out for Mount Toubkal, North Africa's highest peak, to the west. Descending the north-facing slopes, the climate and landscape dramatically change. You'll cross deep river valleys and pass by abundant almond and walnut orchards.
Upon arriving in Marrakech, check in to your luxurious riad, offering the perfect setting to unwind after your journey. Spend the afternoon at your own pace, perhaps sipping a pot of fresh mint tea by the pool or in the shade of a jasmine bush.
If you're inclined to venture out in the evening, you'll have the opportunity to witness the Jemaa el Fna, the main square of the medina, coming alive with musicians, performers, snake charmers, games, food stalls, and more. You can explore the square for incredible street food from vendors or observe the spectacle from afar while dining in the cafes surrounding the square.
Alternatively, head to the modern part of the city to discover Marrakech's contemporary culinary scene. Known as the culinary heart of Morocco, Marrakech promises a memorable dining experience no matter where you choose to dine.
Accommodation:5 Star Hotel

day 8 - Marrakech – Medina & City Tour
After breakfast, meet your local private guide who will lead you through the old city of Marrakech. Explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site, meandering through lively souks and labyrinthine alleys, where you'll encounter colorful displays of djellabas, intricately-pierced lanterns, babouches in vibrant hues, exotic spices piled high, and the bustling medina life. Throughout your journey, your knowledgeable guide will share the history and tales of the Medina, the Souk, and the Mellah neighborhoods of the Red City, providing excellent recommendations for lunch along the way.
In the afternoon, your private tour continues, allowing you to explore iconic sites like the Bahia and El Badii Palaces, and the Saadian Tombs.

Marrakech serves as the juncture of the High Atlas Mountains and a vast plain. What better way to behold the breathtaking contrast of these landscapes than by taking a hot air balloon ride over the Red City at sunrise?
An early start awaits you; drive to the mountains and board your hot air balloon in the pre-dawn hours. As you ascend, watch the sun rise over North Africa's highest peaks, casting its golden light on the city far below. Following your flight, indulge in a delectable Berber breakfast amid the magnificent surroundings before returning to Marrakech.
The remainder of the day is yours to enjoy as you wish.

day 10 - Transfer to Essaouira
Say goodbye to the Red City, and travel to Morocco's west coast, following a route that takes you over vast rolling plains. Along the way, you'll pass through an argan tree forest, endemic to this part of the world. You may even see goats dining on the argan fruit up in the tree branches. Visit an argan cooperative to learn how argan oil is extracted from the tree and what it's used for in the food and cosmetic industries.
Arrive in the port city of laid-back Essaouira, a nice contrast to frenetic Marrakesh, and spend the rest of the day as you choose. Walk the Skala de la Kasbah (the 18th-century seafront ramparts) along the coast. Designed by European engineers, old brass cannons line the walls and offer viewing access over the Atlantic. Explore the UNESCO-protected medina before making your way to the windswept beach.

day 11 - Safi, El Jadida, and Azemour – Casablanca

The second city is El Jadida. Here, you can tour the hauntingly beautiful Portuguese cistern. You can also spend your time walking the ramparts and can visit the Church of the Assumption. You can enjoy a lunch break in El Jadida before hitting the road again.
Next is Azemour, which has inspired many Moroccan artists over the decades, some of whom have chosen to live here. Life there is still traditional, despite its close proximity to the cosmopolitan art market of Casablanca. A crumbling 16th-century medina squeezed between the Oud Er-Rbia (Mother of Spring River) and the ocean provide plenty of artistic inspiration.
Once in Casablanca, you will check into your hotel. The evening and dinner will be at your leisure.

day 12 - Departure from Casablanca

I recently completed the Morocco Luxury Escape, and I cannot recommend this experience enough! From the moment I arrived in Casablanca to my departure from Marrakech, every detail was taken care of with precision and elegance. The entire tour was a seamless blend of adventure, luxury, and cultural immersion.
The tour began with a warm welcome at the airport, followed by smooth transfers to beautiful hotels, many of which were luxurious 5-star riads and kasbahs. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, and each city, from Rabat to Fes and Marrakech, revealed layers of Moroccan history and culture that I would have never discovered on my own. I particularly enjoyed the private, guided tours in Fes and Marrakech, where I explored hidden gems within the medina and learned about local crafts and traditions.
One of the highlights was the Sahara desert experience. Riding camels into the golden dunes and spending the night at a luxurious desert camp was surreal. The entire setup, with its opulent tents and delicious meals, made me feel like royalty under the starlit sky. This was definitely a bucket-list experience, and this tour operator made it unforgettable.
The hot air balloon ride over Marrakech was another unforgettable highlight. The views of the city and the surrounding Atlas mountains at sunrise were simply breathtaking.
Additionally, I want to commend this tour company for their exceptional service. Our driver was professional, punctual, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the entire journey. The small details, like arranging meals in local spots or offering personalized recommendations, were a nice touch that really elevated the trip.

One of the best travel experiences
I recently took the Morocco Luxury Escape tour with this tour operator, and I must say it was one of the best travel experiences I have ever had. From the moment we arrived in Casablanca, the level of service, attention to detail, and comfort were exceptional.
The journey began with a seamless transfer to Rabat, where our private driver ensured a smooth ride while sharing valuable insights into Moroccan culture. The 12-day itinerary perfectly balanced historical exploration with moments of relaxation, making every stop a new adventure. I was particularly impressed by the imperial cities of Fes and Marrakech, where we had the chance to explore UNESCO World Heritage sites and interact with local artisans. Each day felt like a new chapter in Morocco’s history, enriched by the expert guides provided by DesertBrise.
One of the highlights of the tour was the Sahara Desert experience. The luxury camp in Erg Chebbi, nestled at the foot of the dunes, was simply spectacular. The sunset camel ride, with golden sands stretching as far as the eye could see, was truly magical. The glamping experience that followed—complete with a delicious dinner, local music, and stargazing—felt truly unique.
This company truly stands out for its personalized service. Our driver was always punctual, friendly, and highly knowledgeable, ensuring we had a smooth and comfortable journey throughout Morocco. The certified guides in places like Chefchaouen, Fes, and Marrakech were exceptional, providing fascinating historical insights and leading us through vibrant souks and serene gardens, making every moment special.
The riads, kasbahs, and luxury hotels exceeded our expectations. Each property was carefully selected, offering a blend of opulence and local charm. From five-star riads in Fes to the tranquil oasis of kasbahs in Tinghir, every night felt like a luxurious retreat.

Highly recommend this tour
Incredible journey through Morocco! From start to finish, the Morocco Luxury Escape was everything we expected and more. We had the privilege of traveling in a small group, which provided an intimate and personalized experience. Our private driver, Hakim, was not only highly skilled but also extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He ensured that we were always comfortable and even adapted the itinerary to our preferences. One of the biggest highlights was the sunset camel ride in the Sahara Desert—an unforgettable experience. And the luxurious desert camp, with gourmet meals and live music under the stars, was simply magical.
The accommodations were impeccable, ranging from beautiful riads to stunning kasbahs. The guides in Fes, Chefchaouen, and Marrakech were excellent, offering rich insights into Morocco’s history and culture. The excursions, especially the visit to the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis and the Majorelle Gardens in Marrakech, were fascinating.
A small detail: while the lunches were generally very good, we felt that some were a bit too tourist-oriented. Having more local, off-the-beaten-path options would have made the experience even better. However, this was a very minor point in an otherwise wonderful journey.
Thank you so much for this unforgettable Moroccan adventure! I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore the country in style.

Experiencing Morocco was an absolute breeze!
We just returned from an incredibly vibrant and culturally immersive week-long journey through Morocco, made possible by this tour company — an experience that exceeded all our expectations.
Travelling with two young kids was a concern initially, but Mohammed and the entire team effortlessly alleviated our worries. They provided exceptional support, promptly addressing our queries, offering diverse options, and seamlessly managing everything from planning to executing our trip, including our dietary and accommodation requirements.
Our journey was further enriched by the presence of Karim, our amiable local guide and newfound friend. Karim's warmth and enthusiasm were contagious throughout the trip. His constant smile, unwavering enthusiasm, and extensive knowledge about Arab and Berber history and culture, along with his inspirational personal story, added immense value to our experience. He catered to our every need, ensuring our comfort and enjoyment. By the end of the week, he felt like family to us, and our kids adored him.
Additionally, our day with Hennan was delightful. Despite a delayed start, her patience and kindness shone through as she guided us through the streets of Marrakech, assisting us with our shopping needs.
Overall, our journey was seamless, smooth and thoroughly enjoyable. The attention to detail and exceptional service from the operator made this experience truly memorable. A huge thank you for orchestrating an unforgettable adventure!
