On the second day of our desert tour from Casablanca after a hearty breakfast, we will set off on the journey to Fès, with a stop off at Meknès, often referred to as the “Moroccan Versailles”, established in the late 17th century by Moulay Ismail. Highlights of Meknès will include the breathtaking Bab Mansour, the intricately designed Saharij Souani, and the enchanting old Medina. After lunch, we will move on to Volubilis; the UNESCO-sponsored Roman ruins, and Moulay Idriss I, an important sacred town where the founder of Islam in Morocco is buried. We will then continue our journey, traveling through the spectacular Middle Atlas mountains to reach our final destination, Medilt. Our overnight stay in Medilt will be the perfect end to a truly exotic day.

After a hearty breakfast, we will embark on our journey towards Merzouga, the Erg Chebbi Desert, through a barren plain of desert and scrubland. The incredible peaks of the High Atlas Mountains in the distance provide a breathtaking backdrop. As we cross the Tizi-n-Talremt Pass of the She-Camel, we will descend into a desert plain along the Ziz Valley. We will then journey southwards to Erfoud and Rissani, a colossal oasis boasting an astonishing six million palm trees, enclosed by several ksours – fortified villages. Traversing a remarkable route that marks the transformation to desert, when we reach Merzouga, we will be welcomed with a cup of steaming tea. We will have time to relax and unwind before we hop on camels and ride into the rosy sands of Morocco’s highest dunes. We will have enough time to explore the dunes before the sun sets. Dinner will be served, followed by traditional music and a night under the stars in a nomad tent. It’s an incredible journey, a dreamy and exotic adventure that will stay with us for a lifetime.

We will wake up at the crack of dawn to take in the stunning sight of the sunrise, when the golden hue of the dunes coalesce with the captivating play of shadows. After a cup of tea, we shall mount the camels and ride for a couple of hours (or less; the choice is yours). Upon arrival at the Kasbah, we can enjoy a delicious breakfast and a refreshing shower, prior to our departure to the picturesque fortified village of Rissani located in the Tafilalt region. Bordered by the majestic Ziz Valley, Rissani is a traditional desert hamlet that is home to the grandiose Mausoleum of Moulay Ali Sharif, the first ruler of the Alawite dynasty, that first appeared here in the 17th century. We shall then embark on a remarkable journey through the enchanting Todra Gorges, past the eastern slopes of the Atlas Mountains, before arriving at the Tinerhir Oasis, with its lush valley of palm trees and rural settlements. After taking in the sights, we will continue on our way to Ouarzazate, stopping along the way to admire the scenic Dades Valley, otherwise known as the ‘Valley of 1000 Kasbahs, Roses valley and Skoura.’ After an unforgettable day, we shall rest for the night in the lovely city of Ouarzazate.

On the fifth day of our desert tour from Casablanca, after feasting on a delicious breakfast at the hotel, we set off to Marrakech, traveling through the majestic High Atlas Mountains. As we drive, we will stop to admire the stunning panoramic view of the Kasbah of Taourirt, and then pause for a photo opportunity near the Atlas Film Studios. Continuing on, we will then visit the Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou, and then traverse over the majestic High Atlas Mountains, crossing the Tizi N’Tichka Pass at an altitude of 2260m. Finally, we arrive in Marrakech in the afternoon, where we will explore the city with a local guide. We will stay the night in Marrakech, allowing us to fully explore this exotic and dreamy destination.
