This immersive start is a full embrace of Moroccan energy, preparing you for the journey ahead.
Your Essential 5 Days in Morocco Itinerary
This carefully paced 5 days in Morocco itinerary balances iconic cities with desert grandeur. Day two journeys over the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka pass to the dramatic desert fringe of Ait Ben Haddou. Day three is dedicated to travel through sweeping valleys, arriving at the Saharan dunes of Merzouga. Here, a camel trek leads to a night under a blanket of stars at a desert camp. The final leg returns north, showcasing the fertile oasis of the Dades Valley and the grand canyons of Todra Gorge.
From Desert to Fes Finale
The final day transitions from rocky landscapes to imperial history, arriving in Fes. Use your remaining hours to witness the ancient Chouara Tannery from a balcony vista and wander the spiritual heart of the old city. This compact journey from Marrakesh’s fervor, through the Sahara’s silence, to Fes’s timeless depth offers a profound, albeit brief, portrait of Morocco’s soul.
