Day 1 · Tangier → Chefchaouen
Start in Tangier and head into the Rif Mountains towards Chefchaouen. Explore its compact medina after arrival, taking time for the blue-painted lanes, small squares and mountain setting. Arrange any Tangier sightseeing around your arrival schedule.
Day 2 · Chefchaouen → Volubilis → Meknes → Fes
Leave Chefchaouen and travel towards Fes, with the option to stop at the Roman ruins of Volubilis and the imperial city of Meknes. Choose the visits that best match your pace, then arrive in Fes for the night.
Day 3 · Discover Fes with a local guide
Explore the old medina of Fes, where workshops, neighbourhood markets and historic architecture sit within a maze of lanes. Plan the walking route with your guide and allow time for breaks. Entrance fees and selected monuments are confirmed in your quotation.
Day 4 · Fes → Ifrane → Ziz Valley → Merzouga
Leave Fes for the Middle Atlas, passing Ifrane and cedar-forest scenery before travelling south through the Ziz Valley. This is a full driving day. Reach Merzouga in time to settle into your desert stay, subject to road conditions.
Day 5 · Merzouga → Rissani → Todra Gorge → Dades Valley
Leave the dunes behind and travel through the landscapes around Rissani. Continue to Todra Gorge for a walk before following the road into the Dades Valley. A market visit depends on the day and your departure time.

Travel through the Valley of Roses towards Ouarzazate. Visit Ait Ben Haddou before crossing the High Atlas to Marrakech. The mountain road offers broad views and opportunities for photo stops, with arrival later in the day.
