This route combines the Royal cities with the stunning landscape of the High Atlas Mountains where Berber villages perch on sheer cliff sides that tower above green, cultivated valleys; and the wild Atlantic Coast, dotted with ancient Portuguese-built ports and fortifications.
The journey will take you from the busy commercial centre of Casablanca to Morocco’s capital, Rabat; then on to the smallest of the imperial cities, Meknes. After discovering a little of Morocco’s Roman history with a visit to the ruins of Volubilis, we continue to the holy village of Moulay Idress, then to the country’s spiritual capital, Fez. With its winding alleys full of craftsmen, great mosques, ancient Koranic schools, old working tanneries, incredible architecture and exotic people, you will feel as though you’ve stepped back into a distant era.

We linger in Fez, allowing ample time to explore the crowded labyrinth of the medina. Small shops, selling everything from foodstuffs to silk, from carpets to leatherwork, line a thousand streets and alleys. We then head south towards the Middle Atlas and incredible scenery of either Cascades d’Ouzoud and Imlil, or to the Todra Gorge and Dades Valley.  

We return to the Atlantic coast and the beautiful port city of Essaouira. Here ancient Portuguese fortifications surround the busy fishing harbour and the blue and white painted houses lead you into the medina. Our return to Casablanca follows the coastal road visiting the small cities of Safi and El Jadida en-route. We spend our final night in Casablanca where we refresh before boarding our return flight.
