You'll see the Koutoubia Mosque & Jemaa El-Fna along the way, and if you're craving a IG boost, sign up for an optional visit to the Bahia Palace. Then its time to move on to our next destination... Welcome the Casablanca, the iconic city of Hollywood legend. For our first adventure, we'll wander La Corniche and soak up all of those coastal views.

For an optional tour, we'll pay a visit to the iconic Hassan II Mosque, the largest functioning one in all of Africa. More astounding architectural sights are in store in Rabat, as we visit the Mohammed V Mausoleum, tour Hassan and see the gilded royal palace. We then make our way to Chefchaouen, keeping our eyes peeled for the iconic blue buildings. Cameras at the ready: we'll explore Chefchaouen's most iconic insta spot - the 'Blue City' - whilst also uncovering the likes of Place Outa Hamam, Kasbah, and the local markets.

We'll travel through the Rif mountains to the cultural capital of Fes and check in to our hotel, ready for a full day of exploration tomorrow.

Today we drive into the High Atlas Mountains, North Africa's highest mountain range as we make our way over to Erfoud. Expect to see some staggering peaks and breath-taking views, whilst making some pit stops in the gorgeous towns of Ifrane and Midelt, sitting between the Middle Atlas and High Atlas mountains. All before making base and enjoying some dinner in Erfoud, an oasis town situated in the mist of the Sahara Desert.

• Stay at Kasbah Tizimi Hotel Erfoud

Erfoud, it's been a blast, but move on we must! We'll be making a charming stop for a home visit where we'll enjoy local Berber hospitality and plenty of Moroccan mint tea. Back on the road but we'll be making a stop in Rissani for a lazy lunch and maybe a cheeky swim (just what we need)! We've arrived, but we're not stopping yet. Enjoy an optional visit to the Barber Music Center for some culture. Then in the evening, we'll swap the coach out for some camels and trek into the Sahara Desert for some beautiful sunset views. For dinner you'll be treated to a traditional Berber feast inside a traditional Berber tent before settling in for the night.

Rise and shine! It’s a free day, and luckily, there are a lot of ways to spend it. Choose to relax at the hotel, or hit the streets for some DIY exploration. Oh, and dinner’s on us tonight!

Goood morning! After breakfast, we’ll hit the road to our next stop – passing by changing landscapes of plains, argan tree forests and rolling hills. We'll roll into Taroudant and waste no time heading out for lunch. Join the crew or do your own thing and tap into the local food scene. Don’t stress if it feels brief — we’ll be back later to explore properly. Welcome to paradise! Today we’ll explore this peaceful oasis at the foot of the Anti-Atlas Mountains. Expect lush palm groves, trickling water, local Berber life, and a historic kasbah overlooking the valley. Back in Taroudant, you're free to wander the medina, browse the souks for silver jewellery, leather goods, and spices. Don't forget to stroll along the city’s impressive walls and ornate gates like Bab El Kasbah and Bab Targhount. We'll round things out at Assarag Square, soaking up the lively local rhythm before settling in for the night.

This morning, we’ll drive along the Anti-Atlas mountains as we say goodbye to Taroudant. You’ve got the Atlantic ocean on one side and historic Berber towns on the other. Soak in all the views while you can. Welcome to Morocco's hidden coastal gem! Souks, cafes, terraces, fishing villages - there’s plenty to see here. End the night chilling by the beach (drink in hand - possibly local mint tea!) that’s across the road from our hotel.

It’s a DIY morning today, with plenty of time to explore the town at your pace. In the afternoon, we’ll make our way to a tranquil hidden gem in the wilderness of Morocco. The endless dusky red panorama in front of you isn’t your typical desert. It’s all rock! After we check into our luxurious tents, you’ll have the chance to cool off with a dip in the pool. Or even better - take a camel ride through the desert.

Noooo, it’s the last day already! Worry not, there’s one more included meal to feast on before we head back to the city where it all began. All good things come to an end. But there are plenty more good things on the horizon. (Like another epic adventure? Somewhere in Asia next time?). So bid your farewells, exchange your deets and hop on for an airport transfer!
