Day-by-day itinerary

1. 1Day 1: Marrakech – Tizi n'Tichka – Ait Ben Haddou – Ouarzazate – Dades Gorge

   Leave Marrakech and climb the High Atlas over the Tizi n’Tichka pass (2,260 m) to Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987 that has appeared in Gladiator and Game of Thrones. Continue to Ouarzazate, “the gateway to the desert”, to see the Atlas Film Studios and Taourirt Kasbah, then follow the Valley of Roses to the Dades Gorge. Dinner and overnight in a riad or hotel.
2. 2Day 2: Dades – Todra Gorge – Erfoud – Merzouga camel ride

   Walk through the Todra Gorge, a narrow canyon popular with climbers and hikers. Drive via Tinejdad to Erfoud, famous for its fossils, and visit a workshop where fossil stone is carved into furniture and crafts. At the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes, swap the car for a camel and ride to one of the best sunset viewpoints, where you can try sandboarding as the sand changes colour. Spend the night in Berber-style tents at a desert camp, with dinner under the stars and drumming around the campfire.
3. 3Day 3: Full day in the Merzouga area – nomads, Khamlia and the dunes

   Spend the day exploring the desert your way, by camel or in the comfort of a 4×4. Visit Khamlia village, known for its Gnawa music, and the old lead mines of Mifis, worked long before the French protectorate. Enjoy tea with a nomad family living beyond the dunes, then spend the night in a riad or hotel in Merzouga.
4. 4Day 4: Merzouga – Rissani – Ziz Valley – Midelt – Azrou – Ifrane – Fes

   After breakfast, pass through Rissani and its traditional souk, then follow the palm groves of the Ziz Valley north to Midelt for lunch. Continue to the cedar forest near Azrou to see the Barbary macaques, and through Ifrane, the clean, alpine-style “Switzerland of Morocco”, close to the Mischliffen ski area. Overnight in Fes.
5. 5Day 5: Guided tour of Fes – Casablanca

   Explore Fes el-Bali, the UNESCO-listed medieval medina, with a local guide. Fes is made up of three parts: the old medina, Fes el-Jdid with its Royal Palace and Mellah (Jewish quarter), and the Ville Nouvelle built during the French protectorate. Visit the tanneries, the Al Attarine Madrasa, the Zaouia of Moulay Idriss and local artisan cooperatives, and enjoy a panoramic view over the medina. After lunch, drive to Casablanca, Morocco’s largest city and economic capital. Dinner and overnight in Casablanca.
