DAY TO DAY ITINERARY

Day 1: Transfer from Casablanca Airport to Rabat

Once you land at the Mohamed V Airport in Casablanca, your guide will meet you at your arrival gate to take you immediately to Rabat. You will then proceed to Rabat on your overland truck expedition to check in to your hotel. The remainder of the afternoon will be devoted to visiting the highlights of Rabat.

You will reach Rabat, a city styled in a spaciously elegant European grid, yet slightly aware of its modernity. Only a river separates Rabat and its twin city, Sala Colonia, but they are historically worlds apart. They have an ancient legacy that spans hundreds of generations. Each civilization that has inhabited each city has left its mark, resulting in a wide variety of architectural styles, including those from the Phoenician and Roman eras. You will spend your day discovering the delights that Rabat has to offer.

Your guide will take on a historical and lively tour of the Jewish quarter, the Mellah in the Heart of the city, starting at Place Sidi Makhlouf. The 12-century ramparts are best seen from this landmark. Walk up to Bab Chellah in the medina and cross Sidi Fateh St. This will lead you to the traditional Souk Laghzel (Yarn market). Your guide will introduce you to the importance of this guild in a textile role in Moroccan society. Later, you will cross to the citadel of the Oudaya Kasbah, entering from its 12th-century main gate to explore an extraordinary Medieval Moorish marvel overlooking the delta of the Bourgreg River.

You can visit the old-fashioned Moorish gardens, stop in a traditional coffee house for mint tea, and explore the Oudaya Museum of tribal arts and Crafts. A docent will introduce you to traditional Berber Textiles. You will continue your quest by exiting the Oudaya Kasbah and up the hill to visit the Hassan Tower and Mohamed the V Mausoleum, an emblem of authentic Moroccan architecture at its finest. You will reach the Royal Palace and the Necropolis of Chellah at the end of your tour. Finally, you will return to the hotel with your group for dinner and other accommodations.

Day 2: Travel from Rabat to Chefchaouen

After breakfast, our overland expedition proceeds to Chefchaouen. Today, we will take you to the picturesque city of Chefchaouen, visiting Larach on the way to explore the marvels of white towns of Morocco, traditional fishing ports, Rif Mountains' evergreen red cedar forests, Berber villages unique to this undiscovered region. Endly, you will find yourself in the Marvelous Chefchaouen Mountain town and its vibrant aura of beauty and charm. Your guide will introduce the historical highlights of the city to you. Dinner and accommodation at Akchour Guesthouse.

Day 3: Chefchaouen - Volubilis - Moulay Idriss - Fez

Your driver will take you on a day trip overland on your 4X4 truck expedition visiting historical sites and interesting towns on the road to Fez. Visit the highlights of Meknes via Volubilis and Moulay Idris. This excursion embodies much of Morocco's early history: Volubilis as its Roman provincial capital and Moulay Idris creating its first Arab dynasty. Continue to Fez, dinner, and accommodation at the Hotel.

Day 4: Fez and its Medina guided tour

The most ancient imperial capital and the complete medieval city of the Islamic world, Fez is undeniably unique. Culturally and spiritually stimulating with its haunting and beautiful sounds, infinite visual details, and unfiltered odors, Fez seems to exist between the Middle Ages and modern times. Besides its electricity, it owes absolutely nothing to the West. As a spectacle, this is an entirely satisfying experience and a learning process about the sophistication of the Moroccan artisan. You are visiting in the morning some of the important sites such as the Bouinania Medersa, the Moulay Idris Mausoleum, the Karaouiyine Mosque, the Attarine Medersa, and the Nejjarine Museum. Lunch in a typical Moroccan restaurant, and continue exploring the Medina in the afternoon. Dinner and accommodations are at your hotel.

Day 5: Day Excursion to Sefrou and B'Halil Troglodytes

We will start the day with an excursion to the ancient city of Sefrou riding your overland truck. The city that thrived in the Phoenician and Roman times was an outpost that linked Africa to Europe for trade Caravans used to meet there to exchange goods and Vehicles from camel to mule. An old trade outpost of sub-Saharan, it is also a three thousand years old spiritual center with many Judaic roots. Shrines and notable places around the city are pilgrimage sites to Moroccan Jews today. After hiking a little Middle Atlas to explore these landscapes, we will go to Bhallil to visit the troglodyte dwellings that have existed since Neolithic times and still serve the purpose. Return to Fez for dinner and accommodation.

Day 6: Overland trip to the Sahara from Fez

After breakfast, we will kiss Fez goodbye and hop onto our overland truck toward the Sahara desert crossing the sumptuous Atlas Mountains. The first hills you see of the Middle Atlas seem oddly un-Moroccan. Evergreen pines, tall cedar trees on the peaks, and poplars stand copiously on the foothills, laced with flowing streams. The road across is almost ceremonial. Azrou, the first real town of the Middle Atlas, stands at a major junction of routes; it's an important market center and has long held a strategic role in controlling the Berbers of the mountains. The Middle Atlas ceases at Midelt, where suddenly, through the haze, appear the much greater peaks of the High Atlas formidably rising behind the town to reach a massive range, the Djebel Ayashi at over 12,000 ft. The drama of this sight, tremendous in the clear, cool noon, is the most compelling reason to stop over for lunch. Erfoud is one of the most pleasing southern routes: a dry, red belt of the desert, and then suddenly, a drop into the valley filled with date palm groves. Dinner accommodations are at camp with the Tuaregs over the dunes of Merzouga. You can ride your camel to camp or hop in our Land Rover to cruise these gigantesque dunes.

Day 7: Merzouga Dunes to Khamlya and Rissani

An experience not to be missed is watching the sunrise from the spectacular Merzouga dunes of the Sahara, a beautiful and dramatic natural setting that no words can describe.

The highest the narrowest gorges in the region are in Todra Valley, only 15 km from Tineghir. Traveling through the Dades valley in spring, you will find the bloom of thousands of Persian roses filling up the air with an ethereal aroma certainly from heaven - cultivated as hedgerows dividing the different plots. Thousands of Kasbahs scattered surreally as sandcastles standing erect in the shadow of time along the Dades River. Dinner and accommodation at Hotel Bougafer in Tineghir.

Day 9: Travel the Draa Valley to Zagora

Travel in the morning with your group to Zagora, exploring the marvels of the Anti Atlas mountains and the beauty of the Draa valley oases and Kasbahs; stop in Agdez and other sun-baked mud hamlets of small villages among this giant belt of continuous oases in the world.

Depart to Imlil via Asni and Tizi n'Test pass at 11,000 ft. in an impressive site dividing these mountains into two distinct aspects. One side acts as a shield to protect the hinterland from the Sahara's harsh and dry expansion; the other side collects the moisture of the Gherbi winds from the Atlantic Ocean, soft and evergreen. Such is the life of the Berber dwellers, a day of mountain hikes through the high peaks and deep valleys. This is an experience to treasure for a lifetime.
