7 Days Luxury Tour from Tangier to Marrakech via Desert

Your private chauffeur greets you at Tangier Ibn Battouta Airport, the Tangier Ville/Med ferry port, or your hotel. Take in sweeping views where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean at Cap Spartel and the Caves of Hercules before ascending into the lush Rif Mountains to arrive in the enchanting cobalt-blue hillside town of Chefchaouen for a peaceful evening stroll.

Enjoy crisp morning light in Chefchaouen's quiet cobalt-blue alleyways before departing southward across rolling hills of olive and citrus groves. Step back two thousand years with a guided walk among the remarkably preserved Roman mosaics and triumphal arch of UNESCO-listed Volubilis, pause to view the monumental Bab Mansour gate in imperial Meknes and sacred hilltop Moulay Idriss, and arrive at your luxury palace riad in Fes.

Meet your licensed private Fes historian after breakfast for a captivating full-day discovery of UNESCO-listed Fes El-Bali. Admire the golden brass doors of the Royal Palace and panoramic hilltop views before entering the Blue Gate (Bab Bou Jeloud) to explore the exquisite carved cedar and zellige courtyards of Bou Inania and Al-Attarine Madrasas, the 9th-century Al-Qarawiyyin University, the historic Chouara leather tanneries, and vibrant artisan souks.

Depart Fes after breakfast for one of Morocco's grandest scenic journeys from green mountain forests to golden desert sands. Ascend the Middle Atlas Mountains through alpine Ifrane and Azrou's ancient cedar forest—home to friendly wild Barbary macaques—then descend past Midelt through the breathtaking, palm-carpeted Ziz Valley canyon. Arrive at the towering Erg Chebbi dunes in Merzouga for a sunset camel caravan to your luxury en-suite Sahara camp, complete with a candlelit Berber feast and live campfire music beneath a canopy of stars.

Wake early to witness the first golden rays of sunrise sweeping across the Erg Chebbi dunes, followed by a delicious breakfast at camp. Travel by private vehicle to the historic caravan market town of Rissani, then continue to Tinghir to walk along the crystal-clear river beneath the soaring 300-meter red limestone walls of Todra Gorges. Wind into scenic Dades Valley—famed for its 'Monkey Fingers' rock formations and kasbahs—to unwind in a charming boutique valley lodge.

Depart Ouarzazate after breakfast to explore the lush Skoura palmery and its 17th-century architectural jewel, Kasbah Amridil. Drive through fragrant Kalaat M'Gouna in the Valley of the Roses—visiting a local rosewater cooperative—before venturing to the soaring 300-meter canyon cliffs of Todra Gorges and returning into dramatic Dades Valley to dine and relax at a panoramic boutique kasbah hotel.

Enjoy morning light illuminating the ancient earthen towers of UNESCO-listed Ksar Ait Ben Haddou before departing northward into the High Atlas Mountains and ascending the panoramic Tizi n'Tichka Pass (2,260m). Pause for mountain photos and a relaxed lunch en route before arriving smoothly at your Marrakech accommodation or Menara Airport.
