After lunch (own account), you will see the natural spring water of Ras lma. Unlike other parts of Morocco, this town was occupied by Spain.

We will explore the breathtaking archaeological ruins of the roman. This ruin is an example of the different kinds of civilizations that made Morocco their home and are still present in cultural traditions. Then we stop in the sacred town of Moulay Idriss I, the burial town of the founder of the first Moroccan kingdom and is a historic mosque and its famous place. Then we continue our journey to the medina of Meknes, the walls of this medina are granted.  It is home to the splendid mausoleum of Moulay Ismail. We will explore Bab lekhmiss, then the Jewish quarter called El Mellah, and the Sahrij Swani. This is one of the prestigious Historic Monuments of Meknes.

Today you will discover the city of Fes, the spiritual and cultural heart of Morocco; vibrant, noisy, fascinating, and overwhelming – a visual and pungent feast for the senses. Head into the old city, known locally as Fes el Bali, arguably the world’s most fascinating and confounding old city. Medieval Fes was one of the world’s great centers of education and culture, both Islamic and Jewish.

Its religious institutions and libraries are legendary, its mosques of great renown. Walkthrough the twisting streets and alleyways, passing donkeys piled high with goods, and explore the specialty sections that divide the souk. Filled with historic khans, medresses, and dye-pits, stalls loaded with fruits, herbs, and soups, and where the squawk of chickens, the smell of spice, and sound of hammering of copper fills the air, it’s not hard to imagine yourself back in the Middle Ages. Spend the day exploring the old city, visiting,

Medresse el Attarine, the tanneries, and the splendid Fondouk Nejjarine, a beautifully restored 18th-century inn. Return to your hotel in the late afternoon and perhaps spend the evening relaxing in this calming oasis, away from the buzz of the medina. Overnight in Fes

Day 7: Merzouga

After breakfast in Riad, we drive south to Ifrane and Azrou through the Middle Atlas Mountains. On the way we will stop at the cedar forests, hopefully, we’ll see the Barbarian Apes in their natural habitat.  Then we drive through the Tizi Ntalghamt pass to Midelt. Which is in the Middle Atlas and is called “the apple capital”. We drive along the magnificent Ziz Valley oasis carved through volcanic rock.

The Middle- Atlas offers some beautiful views. When we approach Erraichida you’ll see the scenery is changing to a desert environment.  And we’ll continue our journey to Erfoud, Rissani and we end our drive-in Merzouga. Here we reach our hotel and watch the sun setting over the vast expanse of rolling desert dunes. Spend the night at the hotel. Overnight in Merzouga

You’ll get the opportunity to listen to their Gnawa music and learn about their culture and lifestyle. With the 4×4 car, we will discover the nomad’s lifestyle. We will visit local nomad families who live in tents around the Erg Chebbi dunes.  After this, we bring you to your accommodation where you can relax until the end of the afternoon, then take a camel ride to a Berber camp in the middle of the Erg Chebbi Sand Dunes. These are the highest sand dunes in North Africa. The camel trek to the camp takes about 90 minutes *.  Here, in the middle of the desert, you will see one of the most beautiful sunsets in your lifetime and after that, you’ll see thousands of stars in the sky. You will spend the night in a camp (Berber nomad tents) where you have dinner and live music in the middle of the Sahara. The tents are equipped with mattresses, blankets, and cushions.

Leave to Dades and its charming valley. Continue along to Kelaat M’Gouna, a large village famous for cultivating roses. Expect to find many fine, rose-infused products there.

Leave Ait Ben Haddou crossing the High Atlas Mountains via the magnificent Tiz In Tichka pass (2262m) to Marrakech overnight. Overnight in Marrakech

Day 11: Marrakech

After breakfast at the hotel, we set off on an exhilarating sightseeing tour of Marrakech with our guide and driver. During your 5-hour tour, you see the major highlights of the ancient city. We begin our walking tour in the old quarter of Marrakech where we visit the 19th century Bahia Palace, covered with colorful tile work, and see its eight-hectare gardens with fountains. We then proceed to Saadian Tombs – marble tombs for the Saadian dynasty. Accessible only through a small passage in the Kasbah Mosque, the tombs were neglected until aerial photography exposed them in 1917. Our next stop is El Badi Palace located nearby and believed to have contained more than 350 opulent rooms, in addition to a large pool, sweeping courtyard, and several gardens. The pieces from the El Badi Palace were used to create a new palace in Meknes, leaving just the shell of the palace behind. Continue to the souks, the largest you can find in Morocco. We suggest you try haggling as it is an inherent part of Moroccan trading culture. In the afternoon, we venture into the new city and visit the Majorelle Gardens – a magical petite garden estate designed by Jacque Majorelle and maintained by Yves Saint Laurent. After the tour, we return to our hotel and have the rest of the day free. Overnight in Marrakech
