The evening is free to enjoy traditional Moroccan food and experience the atmosphere of the old city. If you arrive early, you may also have time to visit the Koutoubia Mosque from outside or explore some of the surrounding streets.

Enjoy lunch at a traditional Moroccan restaurant before continuing your exploration.

In the late afternoon, return to your riad or enjoy free time in Jemaa el-Fna. Having two nights in Marrakech gives you the opportunity to experience the city properly before beginning the desert journey.

After breakfast, leave Marrakech and travel south through the spectacular High Atlas Mountains. Cross the Tizi n'Tichka Pass, stopping at scenic viewpoints along the way.

Continue to Aït Ben Haddou, one of Morocco's most famous historic ksars. Explore the narrow streets and traditional earthen buildings before continuing to Ouarzazate.

Depending on the season and weather conditions, you can also visit the seasonal lake near Merzouga. There will be time for sandboarding or simply enjoying the dunes.

After lunch, return to your hotel or riad in Merzouga and enjoy a relaxed afternoon.

Your guide will explain the history, architecture and traditions that make Fes unique. Continue to the Mellah, the historic Jewish quarter, and visit a panoramic viewpoint overlooking the old city.

You will have time for a traditional Moroccan lunch and can explore local artisan shops selling leather, ceramics, carpets, textiles and other handmade products.

The afternoon can be adapted to your interests, with time to relax or continue exploring the medina.

After breakfast, leave Fes and travel north towards the Rif Mountains and the famous Blue City of Chefchaouen.

The scenery becomes increasingly mountainous as you approach Chefchaouen. After checking into your riad, begin exploring the old medina.

Walk through the blue-painted streets and discover small squares, traditional houses, artisan shops and local cafés. Visit the historic Kasbah in the main square and, if you wish, walk towards the Spanish Mosque viewpoint for panoramic views over Chefchaouen and the surrounding Rif Mountains.

The afternoon and evening are intentionally relaxed so you can enjoy the unique atmosphere of the town without rushing.

Chefchaouen is a completely different experience from Marrakech and Fes, offering a quieter mountain setting and a slower pace.

After breakfast, leave Chefchaouen and travel south towards Rabat, Morocco's capital city.

Upon arrival, explore the historic Kasbah of the Udayas, the Hassan Tower and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V. Enjoy lunch in Rabat before continuing towards Casablanca.

Spend the evening relaxing before your final day in Morocco.

Depending on your departure time and the mosque's visiting schedule, you can visit the interior with a guided tour or admire the mosque from outside.
