The journey
Most Morocco tours ask you to choose: imperial cities or Sahara desert. This one refuses to compromise. The Exotic Morocco Tour takes you through all four imperial cities, the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis, the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi, the Hollywood kasbahs of Ouarzazate, the UNESCO fortress of Ait Ben Haddou, and the legendary medina of Marrakech.
With 11 days, there is room to breathe. Days don't feel rushed. You have time to linger at Volubilis until the light turns gold, to get genuinely lost in Fes's medina, to spend your Sahara morning watching a sunrise rather than checking out. Your private driver and licensed local guides handle every logistic — you handle the wonder.
Start and finish anywhere. The route below is the most popular Casablanca round-trip — but every itinerary is built around your flights. Want to fly into Marrakech and out of Fes? Tell us your dates and arrival/departure cities, and we'll resequence the days.
Marrakech · medina lantern soukSix unmissable moments
Morocco's greatest experiences, beautifully sequenced across 11 days.
Interior access to one of the world's largest mosques — its minaret soars 210 metres above the Atlantic.
A UNESCO Roman city covering 40 hectares with preserved 3rd-century mosaic floors and triumphal arches.
The world's largest medieval urban area — car-free, 9,000 alleyways, Chouara Tanneries unchanged since the 11th century.
Camel trek into 50 km of golden dunes at sunset, dine under the stars in a luxury Berber camp, wake to a singular sunrise.
The iconic mud-brick fortress that appeared in Gladiator, Game of Thrones, and Lawrence of Arabia.
Marrakech's legendary square — storytellers, snake charmers, food stalls, Gnawa drummers. One of the world's great spectacles.

Eleven days, one journey

Your driver meets you at Mohammed V Airport and takes you straight to Casablanca's highlights before heading north. Tour the interior of the magnificent Hassan II Mosque — one of the few in Morocco open to non-Muslims — and explore the Chellah Necropolis in Rabat. End the evening at the Udayas Kasbah, a whitewashed fortress above the Bou Regreg river.
Explore Meknes — the imperial city Sultan Moulay Ismail modelled on Versailles in the 17th century. Stand before Bab el-Mansour, the most spectacular gateway in North Africa. Continue to the hilltop holy town of Moulay Idriss. Then Volubilis — walk this vast Roman city past mosaic floors whose colours have barely faded in 2,000 years. Arrive in Fes as the sun sets.
Fes el-Bali was founded in 789 AD and has barely changed. Your licensed local guide — born in the medina — takes you through Al-Qarawiyyin University (the world's oldest), the Attarine Medersa, the Chouara Tanneries viewed from rooftop terraces, and the silver-worked Nejjarine Fountain. Afternoon free for souks and rooftop tea.
Drive south, climbing into the Middle Atlas. Pass through Ifrane — nicknamed "Little Switzerland" with chalets and snowy winters. Continue through cedar forests where Barbary macaques roam freely (the only wild monkeys in Africa north of the Sahara), then descend through the dramatic Ziz Valley to Erfoud, gateway to the Sahara.
Begin in Rissani — birthplace of the Alaouite dynasty. Visit the Ksar Abbar ruins, then the small Berber village of Khamlia for a Gnawa music performance (UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage). Your camel trek begins at the base of Erg Chebbi as the afternoon sun turns the dunes from gold to amber to deep red. The luxury camp awaits — dinner, drumming, and a sky designed to humble you.
Wake before dawn. Climb the dune behind camp. Watch the Sahara turn from silver to gold. Travel west through Berber villages and palm groves to the Todra Gorge — limestone walls rising 300 metres from a canyon floor barely 10 metres wide. Continue to the Dades Gorge, a wider valley of red rock formations. Spend the night in a lodge built into the cliff wall.

Travel through the Skoura palm oasis to Ouarzazate — the "Hollywood of Morocco." Continue to Ait Ben Haddou — the UNESCO World Heritage fortress of sun-dried mud towers featured in Gladiator, Game of Thrones, and Lawrence of Arabia. Walk through its alleys with your guide before crossing the Tizi n'Tichka Pass (2,260 m) into Marrakech.
Your licensed Marrakech guide covers the city's greatest monuments. The Saadian Tombs — hidden for 300 years and rediscovered in 1917. El Badi Palace — its vast ruins now a stork colony. The Bahia Palace — built as the most beautiful palace in the world by a 19th-century grand vizier. The colour-coded souks. And the grand finale: Djemaa el-Fna at night.
Today is entirely unplanned, and deliberately so. Morocco reveals itself best when you're not rushing. Wander back into the souks, find a rooftop terrace with mint tea and medina views, or choose one of the optional experiences — sunrise balloon, cooking class, hammam, or the extraordinary Majorelle Gardens.
Drive back to Casablanca — a 3-hour journey that gives you a morning in Marrakech and an afternoon at leisure in Morocco's cosmopolitan capital. Walk the Ain Diab corniche, sit at a seafront cafe, and explore the old medina before a final dinner.
After a final Moroccan breakfast, your private driver takes you to Mohammed V International Airport. You've covered Morocco in its full breadth — Atlantic coast to Saharan desert, ancient Roman city to medieval Islamic medina, imperial palaces to Berber camp. You leave changed.
