Why go to Morocco?

The blue streets of Chefchaouen, the scent of fresh mint, maze-like medinas, the bustle of the souks and the soft glow of lanterns: Morocco reveals itself through details you will not find in any other country.

From modern Casablanca to atmospheric Marrakech, where an entire private riad will be ours alone.

Four cities, one road

We begin in Casablanca, to ease gently into the rhythm of the journey, and then head to Fez, with its ancient madrasas and maze-like medina.

Next comes Chefchaouen, a town where walls, doors and shadows play in hundreds of shades of blue, and then Marrakech, where the route ends: gardens, markets and the warmth of the riads.

Nine days, and you live four different Moroccos: modern, blue, handcrafted and full of gardens.

From the tanneries of Fez to the Majorelle Garden in Marrakech: these contrasts shape the character of the country.

Riads and Moroccan cuisine

We arrange every drive, transfer and booking, so all you have to do is wander the medinas and soak up the atmosphere.

A comfortable Mercedes Sprinter takes us along the route, and one stretch we cover by first-class train: around 6.5–7 hours of a quiet carriage and Moroccan landscapes outside the window.

The Moroccan cooking class takes place in a cosy, authentic setting: spices, tagine and fresh salads, and at the end, one shared table with everything you have cooked yourselves.

We stay in four places, from a modern hotel in Casablanca to a riad reserved entirely for our group in Marrakech.

The Moroccan hammam

A traditional Moroccan hammam is optional, but it is one of the most atmospheric parts of the programme, and you can fit it into your free time in Marrakech.

It is a ritual of cleansing and relaxation that goes back hundreds of years here, and a contrast to the busy days in the medinas and markets.

Anyone who wishes can try it on the eighth day, after a walk through historic Marrakech.

Day by day

Day 1

Casablanca

Arrival and a first evening by the ocean

Your guide meets you at Casablanca airport and takes you to the Royal Mansour. Until the evening, you can rest or stroll down to the ocean. Over a welcome dinner, the group gets to know each other and hears how the journey through four cities will unfold.

Day 2

Volubilis and Fez

Ancient ruins and your first medina

On the way to Fez, we stop at ancient Volubilis: columns, a triumphal arch and Roman mosaics under the open sky. Towards evening, porters meet the group at the gates of the medina and lead the way to the riad. After the dusty streets, the quiet of its inner courtyard is the real wow of the day.

Day 3

The cultural heart of Fez

The medina, tanneries and old shops

A whole day in the Fez medina, the largest car-free maze in the world. Your guide shows you the Chouara tanneries from a terrace above, the ancient al-Qarawiyyin university and shops selling spices, leather and metalwork. In the evening, dinner on a rooftop as the sun sets over the city.

Day 4

Chefchaouen

The road to the blue city

A winding mountain road leads to Chefchaouen, a town painted in every shade of blue. After check-in, your first walk through its blue lanes in the soft light of sunset. In the evening, dinner and long conversations on the terrace.

Day 5

The blue city and a cooking class

A photo walk and Moroccan cooking

In the morning, a walk around Chefchaouen, its craft shops and the old kasbah. In the afternoon, the pool and some rest. In the evening, a local chef shows you how to make tagine and spiced salads, and dinner on the terrace, made from your own dishes, becomes the warmest evening of the trip.

Day 6

The train to Marrakech

Across the country in first class

An early start from Chefchaouen and brunch in Fez, then a first-class train right across the country. Outside the window, mountains give way to fields and desert plains. Late in the evening, a private riad in Marrakech and dinner.

Day 7

The Yves Saint Laurent aesthetic

Bacha Coffee, the Majorelle Garden, Jemaa el-Fnaa

The morning begins at Bacha Coffee in the Dar El Bacha palace, where there are more than two hundred kinds of coffee. In the afternoon, the Majorelle Garden and the Yves Saint Laurent Museum. In the evening, Jemaa el-Fnaa square comes alive with musicians, snake charmers and the smells of street food.

Day 8

Marrakech

The historic city and a hammam

A guided walk through historic Marrakech: a palace, the Koutoubia Mosque and the old medina. After lunch, time for yourself: shopping or a hammam. In the evening, the group's farewell dinner.

Day 9

Departure

Last-minute shopping and the journey home

After breakfast, there is still time for some last shopping in the medina. Then it is goodbye to your trip leader and guide, and a transfer to the airport. You head home with spices, ceramics and the feeling that you have spent a week in another century.

Your travel expert will send you the detailed itinerary, upcoming departures and the price in the chat.

A few first-hand words about how the journeys felt.

“I will remember our sailing trip in Italy forever!”

On journeys like these I live a small life. Small, but very bright, rich and full of emotion!

“South Africa is a place you want to come back to again and again…”

Incredible nature and breathtaking views, you want to live it all over again. And probably the most important thing is the company, and ours was absolutely amazing.

“I left my heart in the Caucasus mountains…”

Those days felt like a catharsis of the purest happiness. I realised that all our lives we strive to feel that very moment of reaching the top.
And the whole secret is in the journey itself.
