Seven days that carry you from Marrakech's gates to Casablanca and Rabat, north into the blue-washed alleys of Chefchaouen, through the ancient medina of Fes, and east into the Sahara's golden dunes at Merzouga. The return leg threads back through Todra Gorge and the Dades Valley's kasbahs.
It's Morocco's full range in one private route - imperial history, mountain light, and a night among the dunes - built around your pace, not a fixed bus schedule.
The route runs from Rabat's royal landmarks to Chefchaouen's blue medina, then via the Roman ruins of Volubilis and the imperial city of Meknes to Fes for a full guided day in its ancient medina. From there it's east through Ifrane and the Ziz Valley to a sunset camel trek in Merzouga, then back via Todra Gorge and the Dades Valley to Marrakech.
