Nestled in the picturesque Rif Mountains is the charming town of Chefchaouen, sometimes known as the Blue City or the Blue Pearl.

Fes is the "Spiritual City of Morocco," and your incredible tour of the city will begin with a delicious breakfast at your riad. The day begins as you explore the Medina, a location of cultural and historical significance that is included on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Before you lose yourself in the traditional artistry of the Tanneries and gawk at the exquisite beauty of the Najjarine fountain, be sure to see the world-renown Al Karaouine Mosque and University, the oldest in the world.

Immerse yourself in the dynamic atmosphere of a ceramic cooperative and see skilled craftspeople in action.

After breakfast, we leave Fes and make our way towards the Middle Atlas Mountains, which are known for their majestic beauty. In order to enjoy a brief stroll and appreciate the one-of-a-kind architecture and history of the town of Ifrane, which is often referred to as the "Switzerland of Morocco," we will make a stop in this gorgeous village. After that, we will go to the biggest cedar forest in Morocco, which is situated close to the picturesque town of Azrou. Here, you will have the opportunity to see Barbary Monkeys playing in their natural environment. We will go via a number of Berber settlements, such as Timhdit and Zaida, on our way to Midelt, where we will have lunch. After traveling farther south, we will traverse the High Atlas Mountains and go through the palm tree valley of Errachidia, which is a verdant oasis that provides a cool escape from the heat. The city of Erfoud, which is the capital of Fossils and is a testament to a history that was submerged by the sea, will be our destination. Beginning from this location, we will travel via Saharan paths until we reach the settlement of Merzouga, which serves as the entrance to the Sahara Desert. Dinner and breakfast will be provided for you while you are staying at a hotel that is located close to the sand dunes.

This day is going to be quite exciting since we are going to go further into the Erg Chebbi desert. In addition to this, we will go to the town of Khamlia, where we will meet nomads who are eager to share their way of life with tourists, as well as see tiny villages and residences that are located in surprising settings distant from civilization. We will also travel to some historic mines that were found by the French many years ago and are located close to the borders of Morocco and Algeria at the same time. We are going to have a meal that is characteristic of the region, which is called "Berber Pizza," when we have returned to the town. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go camel trekking will be presented to you in the afternoon. You will be accompanied by a skilled guy who will lead friendly camels up and down the sand dunes. Along the way, you will have many opportunities to take pictures of the scenery and the spectacular sunset. After a ride on the camel that lasts for one and a half hours, you will arrive at a camp that is situated in the middle of the desert. There, you will eat dinner and listen to Berber music that is performed by locals as the sky is filled with stars. A cup of mint tea will be offered to you as a greeting, and you will be brought to your tent and your bags. You are going to get up early the next morning in order to take in the breathtaking view of the dawn, and then you are going to have breakfast and take a shower.

As you meet your driver and make your way to Rissani, a historic center of caravans and the biggest market in the area, you will kick off an exciting experience that will unfold before your own eyes. Enjoy yourself to get completely submerged in the lively atmosphere of the market, taking in the diverse array of sights and noises. The trip continues through a region that is characterised by semi-desert conditions, revealing the oasis of Tinghir, which is a stunning jewel located in Morocco. Before heading to the Todra Gorges, which are the tallest and narrowest gorges in the area, you should first explore this lovely refuge. The Todra Gorges are where the power of nature is on full display. The tour continues with a lovely lunch, and then it continues on to the breathtaking Dades Valley, which is a tribute to the many landscapes that constitute Morocco. As the day draws to a close, you will find comfort at a cozy hotel that is tucked away in the valley, which will serve as a tranquil background for the evening.

After having breakfast at the hotel, the whole day will be dedicated to seeing the ancient city of Marrakesh, often known as the "Pearl of the South." During the rule of the three dynasties of Moroccan sultans, the city served as one of the capitals of the Kingdom. As a result, it is home to a significant number of museums and architectural landmarks. Every monument in the city is a work of art in its own right. The whole morning will be spent to getting to know them, including the Koutoubia Mosque, the Manara Pavilion, which is surrounded by olive groves, the graves of the Saadian sultans, the Bahia Palace, which is a superb example of palace architecture, the El Badii palace, and the Majorelle Gardens.
