The Full Kingdom

The journey, day by day.

Fifteen days that hold the full breadth of Morocco — every day can be reshaped around your pace.

Arrival · Atlantic Gateway

First light in Casablanca

Casablanca

A private transfer from Mohammed V Airport — your Moroccan journey begins the moment you land
An afternoon visit to the Hassan II Mosque, rising in impossible grandeur above the Atlantic waves
A slow evening along the Corniche — dinner, sea air, and the first taste of what lies ahead

Overnight

Casablanca

A considered first night in Morocco's most cosmopolitan city.

The Capital · Ocean Walls

Casablanca → Rabat

Casablanca · Rabat

Drive north to Rabat — the regal, quietly confident capital the world consistently overlooks
The Kasbah of the Udayas: blue-and-white walls, Andalusian gardens, and the Atlantic at your feet
The Hassan Tower and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V — monuments to a kingdom's deep sense of continuity
An evening stroll through the medina before dinner in a traditional Rbati restaurant

Overnight

Rabat

A gracious night in the capital — tranquil, refined, entirely unhurried.

The Strait · Two Continents

North to Tangier

Rabat · Tangier

Drive north along the Atlantic coast to Tangier — storied, layered, and unlike anywhere else in Morocco
Cap Spartel: the dramatic point where the Atlantic and Mediterranean meet in open, windswept silence
The Hercules Caves, carved into the cliffs above the sea — mythology made rock and water
Sunset from the clifftops, watching two oceans illuminate in the last light of the day

Overnight

Tangier

A city that has captivated writers and painters for centuries. Tonight, it is entirely yours.

Rif Mountains · Blue City

Into the Blue of Chefchaouen

Tangier · Chefchaouen

A scenic mountain drive through the Rif — cedar forests, mist-wrapped ridges, and terraced hillsides
Arrival in Chefchaouen: a medina washed entirely in every conceivable shade of blue and white
The afternoon is yours — wander without agenda, photograph without hurry, simply absorb the extraordinary
Dinner on a rooftop terrace as the village falls into a deep, improbable quiet

Overnight

Chefchaouen

The first of two nights in Morocco's most visually astonishing town.

A Day Without a Plan

Chefchaouen, at its own pace

Chefchaouen

A morning in the medina — deeper alleys, quieter corners, the light different at every hour
Coffee in a neighbourhood café, unhurried conversation, and the pleasure of going nowhere in particular
An optional short hike to the Spanish Mosque for a panorama of the blue rooftops against the mountains
This day is deliberately open — true luxury is time that answers only to you

Overnight

Chefchaouen

A second and final night. Leave slowly — this place deserves a reluctant departure.

Roman Ruins · Imperial Cities

Volubilis · Meknes · Fes

Chefchaouen · Volubilis · Meknes · Fes

Walk the Roman ruins of Volubilis — UNESCO mosaics, triumphal arches, and a silence older than Islam
A reverent pause in Moulay Idriss Zerhoun, the holy hill town where Morocco's dynasty was born
Ismaili Meknes and the staggering scale of Bab Mansour, one of Africa's great ceremonial gateways
Arrive in Fes as the muezzin's call drifts over the ancient medina walls at dusk

Overnight

Fes

Your first night in the spiritual and intellectual capital of the Moroccan kingdom.

Medina · Living Antiquity

A full day inside Fes el-Bali

Fes

A full day with a private historian through the world's most intact and complex medieval medina
Al-Qarawiyyin University — founded in 859 AD and still in continuous operation, the oldest on earth
The Chouara Tanneries from a private terrace above: colour, craft, and a trade unchanged for a millennium
The afternoon reserved for the souks — copper, hand-painted zellige, woven silk, and the finest cedarwork

Overnight

Fes

A second night in Fes. A rooftop dinner overlooking the lantern-lit skyline of the medina.

Atlas Crossing · Desert Edge

Fes → Ifrane → Merzouga

Fes · Ifrane · Midelt · Merzouga

A morning pause in Ifrane — the improbable Alpine village that sits incongruously amid cedar forests
The Middle Atlas in full spectacle: Barbary macaques in the trees, mountain meadows, shifting light
The landscape hardens and opens as the Sahara draws near — stone, silence, and expectation
A private camel trek into Erg Chebbi as the dunes catch fire in the final hour of daylight

Overnight

Desert Camp

A luxury camp at the edge of the Sahara — fire, dinner, and a sky dense with stars.

Sahara · Total Immersion

A day surrendered to the desert

Merzouga · Erg Chebbi

Rise before first light — the Saharan sunrise is a spectacle that defies description and rewards every early alarm
A 4×4 excursion deep into the desert: nomadic families, remote oases, and the road that has no map
An encounter with Gnawa musicians — the ancient trance music of the Saharan people, heard as it was meant to be
The afternoon deliberately unscheduled — the desert rewards those who simply sit still within it

Overnight

Merzouga

A second night in the Sahara. By morning, you will not want to leave.

Gorges · Valley of Roses

Todra Gorge · Dades Valley

Merzouga · Todra Gorge · Dades

Drive west through the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs — every bend reveals a new fortress in a new shade of ochre
The Todra Gorge rises 300 metres above the path — vertiginous, rose-pink, and utterly otherworldly
A private picnic at the foot of the canyon walls, the river cold and clear below
Wind through the terraced Dades Valley as the late afternoon light turns everything amber and rose

Overnight

Dades Valley

A night in the Valley of Roses. Dinner on a terrace above the canyon.

High Atlas · The Red City

Aït Ben Haddou & Tizi n'Tichka

Dades · Ouarzazate · Aït Ben Haddou · Marrakech

Pass through Ouarzazate — the desert film capital where Lawrence of Arabia and Gladiator were brought to life
A private walk through the UNESCO ksar of Aït Ben Haddou, nine centuries of earthen architecture still standing
Ascend Tizi n'Tichka at 2,260 metres — the most dramatic pass in North Africa, views stretching beyond measure
Descend into the vast rose-red plains of Marrakech as the city shimmers in the evening distance

Overnight

Marrakech

Arrive in the Red City. A riad in the medina — and a city that demands to be felt, not merely seen.

Marrakech · Medina Day

The Red City, explored in full

Marrakech

A morning in the souks — spice merchants, leather workers, lantern-makers, and the labyrinthine logic of the medina
Jemaa el-Fna at its most alive: storytellers, Gnawa drummers, acrobats, and the great theatre of the square
The electric-blue serenity of Majorelle Garden — the YSL legacy, immaculate and quietly extraordinary
A private dinner in a hidden riad courtyard, somewhere only those who know Marrakech truly know

Overnight

Marrakech

A second night in the Red City. The medina is never the same twice.

A Day Entirely Your Own

Marrakech — without an agenda

Marrakech

This day is deliberately left open — the finest gift we can offer is time with no obligation attached
A private cooking class in a medina kitchen: pastilla, tagine, harira — the flavours you will spend years trying to recreate
An indulgent morning in a traditional hammam followed by an argan oil massage — the body reset entirely
A dawn hot-air balloon flight over the Atlas foothills and the patchwork of the Marrakech plains

Overnight

Marrakech

A third and final Marrakech night. Choose how you spend it — we simply provide the setting.

Atlantic Coast · Medina by the Sea

West to Essaouira

Marrakech · Essaouira

A morning drive through the argan groves — where goats still climb the ancient trees as they always have
Arrival in Essaouira: the blue-and-white walled port city where the Atlantic wind never entirely stops
The ramparts, the harbour, the galleries, and the fish grilled on the port — an afternoon without a schedule
The medina at dusk, when the day-trippers have gone and the city returns to itself

Overnight

Essaouira

A final night by the sea. Fourteen days of Morocco behind you. The Atlantic ahead.

Departure · Until Next Time

Essaouira → Casablanca

Essaouira · Casablanca

A final Moroccan morning — coffee on the ramparts, the ocean loud and white below
One last walk through the medina before the road south calls you back toward Casablanca
A private transfer to Mohammed V Airport — your host will see you through to the departure gate
Morocco does not release its travellers lightly. We are already planning your return
