Description |
The maze-like souqs of Fez, the vast orange dunes of the Erg Chebbi, Berber nomads in the Sahara… On a tailor-made holiday to Morocco with Audley, you’ll see the highlights — and much more — your way. We’ll design your ideal trip with you, paying close attention to your interests, your travel style and your budget. Our Morocco specialists know the country inside out and can lead you to experiences you won’t find in a guidebook. |
Day 1 : Casablanca
Today you begin your journey by boarding your international outbound flight to Casablanca. Upon arrival into Casablanca you'll be met at the airport by your private driver and driven to your hotel.
Day 2 : Rabat
This morning you have a short drive to Rabat, where you'll enjoy a privately guided tour of the city. The capital is a calmer and less intricate city than Fez and Marrakesh, making it a good introduction to the Imperial cities.
Day 3 : Fez
En route to Fez with your private driver you stop to visit the impressive Roman ruins of Volubilis and the lesser known Imperial city of Meknes.
Day 4 : Fez
You have a private full day tour of Fez, a fascinating city with an ancient medina where tradition still rules everyday life. As dusk falls you can look over the city as the call to prayer echoes around you - an unforgettable experience.
Day 5 : Erg Chebbi
Your discovery of southern Morocco begins today as you're driven south through the Atlas Mountain ranges to the edge of the Sahara, a long but interesting journey. You now travel into the desert by 4WD, where you will arrive in time to watch the sunset over the dunes.
Day 6 : Skoura
This morning you leave the desert behind and travel with your driver along the Dades Valley, on the route known as 'The Road of a Thousand Kasbahs'. You have time to explore the Todra Gorge and then continue on to your accommodation in Skoura, where you stay for two nights.
Day 7 : Skoura
You have the day at leisure to relax after a few busy days, although you may prefer to arrange an excursion to visit the local palmeraie and crumbling kasbahs in the area.
Day 8 : High Atlas Mountains
Today your journey takes you up in to the High Atlas Mountains on the winding Tizi n'Tichka pass. You get off the beaten track in a 4WD for part of the journey, before arriving at your mountain hotel.
Day 9 : High Atlas Mountains
Have a day at leisure to relax, or enjoy an organised trek into the mountains and explore the surrounding Berber villages.
Day 10 : Essaouira
Your journey with your driver today takes you down through the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, skirts Marrakesh and continues on to the charming coastal town of Essaouira.
Day 11 : Essaouira
Today is at leisure for you to explore Essaouira independently. Here, you can meander through the medina, watch the fishing boats return with the catch of the day, stroll along the sandy beach and watch the sun set over the Atlantic from the impressive Portuguese ramparts.
Day 12 : Marrakesh
Travel by road to the exotic city of Marrakesh today
Day 13 : Marrakesh
Today, enjoy a privately guided tour of the main sights of Marrakesh, many of which are located within the city walls which enclose the ancient medina.
Day 14 : Marrakesh
A final day at leisure in Morocco. The Jardins Majorelle offer a wonderful break from the hustle and bustle of the city and are located near the French quarter, where you may like to stop for lunch. You also have time for some last minute shopping in the souqs. The main square, the Djemma El Fna, is surrounded by cafes, a perfect place from which to view the activities in the square below.
Day 15 : International return flight
You'll return to the airport this morning for your onward flight. Your return flight will arrive the same day.
