Morocco Encompassed

From the High Atlas Mountains, to deep Todra Gorge, Sahara Desert, Blue City of Chefchaouen and the Coastal town of Essaouira, this 14 day tour will take you to all corners of Morocco and show you the very best of what this kingdom has to offer. After meeting the group in Casablanca, we begin our journey, making our first stop in the capital city of Rabat where we'll explore the Oudaia Kasbah, Royal Palace and the Hassan Tower before moving on to the relaxed city of Meknes, where we'll spend a night (in 2025 we'll spend an additional night in Chefchaouen instead of the night in Meknes). Next is the Blue City of Chefchaouen in the North of Morocco, where we'll have the opportunity to explore the main square and Kasbah with its white painted doors and blue walls. Turning our direction south, our next stop is Fes, often considered to be one of the oldest and largest medieval city in the world. With a 2 night stay here, you'll have plenty of time to explore this city and explore the maze like Medina. As our journey continues, we pass over the Moyen Atlas and spend a night at the mountainous town of Midelt, where we'll have time for a short hike in the surrounding hills and a visit to a local berber family, where we'll experience a few hours in their way of life. Be prepared for a change of scenery next are our adventure takes us in to the Sahara Desert. We'll take a camel trek through the sand dunes of the Erg Chebbi, to our base for the night, a traditional Berber camp. You can choose to sleep within the tents or choose to sleep outside, beneath the start speckled desert sky. Nextt you'll have time in the deep Todra Gorge follows, with the opportunity for a short hike through the canyon and Palmerie area, or even try some rock climbing. You'll then follow the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs to Ouarzazate and the Ksar of Ait Benhaddou, which you may find familiar as it has appeared in several movies, some of which were also partially filmed in the nearby Atlas studios which you'll also have the opportunity to visit. The final leg of our journey firstly takes us to the coast, where we'll spend 2 nights in the laid-back town of Essaouira, whilst here you can enjoy seafood, try your hand at kite surfing or explore the UNESCO listed Medina and former Portuguese fortifications. This comprehensive tour of Morocco ends in Marrakech where an optional tour is available to explore this Imperial City, the fourth of which you will have visited on this tour. For those passengers who find it easier to fly in and out of Marrakech, we also offer a 15 day version of this tour, starting 1 day earlier in Marrakech.
