OVERVIEW
Embark on an unforgettable six-day private expedition with Proper Morocco Tours that perfectly bridges modern coastal landmarks, the enchanting blue-washed lanes of the Rif Mountains, and the towering dunes of the Sahara. Deliberately structured for a premium, unhurried pace, your itinerary begins in Casablanca with a visit to the magnificent Hassan II Mosque before sweeping north to the oceanfront Kasbah of the Udayas in Rabat. Ascending into the scenic Rif Mountains, you will wander the unique Andalusian and Berber architecture of Chefchaouen. From the “Blue Pearl,” your private driver will guide you back into antiquity to explore the UNESCO-listed Roman ruins of Volubilis and the monumental gates of Meknes, before arriving for a dedicated day of guided exploration in the ancient, car-free medina of Fes.
Leaving the imperial north behind, the landscape dramatically transforms as you travel south through the cool, alpine architecture of Ifrane and the ancient cedar forests of Azrou. Descending further, you will pass through the lush, palm-filled oasis of the Ziz Valley before the terrain opens up to the sweeping golden dunes of the Merzouga Desert. The adventure reaches its peak at Erg Chebbi, where you will trade your vehicle for a serene camel caravan, riding deep into the dunes to catch a spectacular desert sunset. As night falls, enjoy a delicious Moroccan dinner to the sound of traditional Berber music, then relax beneath a vast sky full of stars before retreating to your private luxury desert camp.
Your westward journey perfectly weaves together ancient commerce and spectacular geology, deliberately avoiding standard, rushed routes. After passing through the historic market town of Rissani, you will navigate the shadow of the towering 300-meter sheer cliffs of the Todra Canyon. Leaving the arid plains behind, you will enjoy a restful evening surrounded by the striking, winding red rock corridors of the Dades Gorges.
The following morning, your carefully tailored expedition traces the legendary Route of a Thousand Kasbahs through the fragrant blooms of the Rose Valley. Continuing toward the cinematic city of Ouarzazate, you will explore the ancient, UNESCO-listed earthen clay fortress of Ait Ben Haddou. Gracefully ascending the sweeping mountain passes of the High Atlas Mountains via the panoramic Tizi n’Tichka pass, you will breathe in the fresh mountain air. This extraordinary journey safely delivers you to your final destination, leaving you deeply inspired as you arrive among the vibrant energy of Marrakech.
