Destinations: Marrakech, Aït Ben Haddou, Merzouga, Fes · Duration: 7 days · Difficulty: Easy · Group size: Private (1–6)
This is Morocco distilled to its most refined: seven unhurried days that trace the classic imperial-to-desert route, but with every night spent in a hand-picked riad, palace hotel or private dune camp. A single dedicated driver-guide accompanies you throughout, so the country unfolds at your own pace with no group to wait for.
From Marrakech’s hidden palace-riads you climb the Tizi n’Tichka pass to the ochre kasbahs of Ouarzazate, sleep beneath the stars at Erg Chebbi, then descend through cedar forests to the labyrinth of Fes. Fine dining, private access to artisans and a discreet, anticipatory level of service run through every day.
This 7 days journey is led by licensed local guides who grew up in Central Morocco, giving you privileged access to the imperial Red City, founded by the Almoravids in 1070, whose medina and Jemaa el-Fnaa square are UNESCO World Heritage sites alongside honest, unhurried travel. Every detail — comfortable private transport, hand-picked accommodation and authentic meals — is arranged so you can simply relax and take it in.
It is perfect for discerning travellers who value comfort and service who want a genuine, well-run experience rather than a rushed coach tour. Small groups, transparent pricing and flexible planning mean the trip flexes around you.
