Step into a land where timeless culture meets breathtaking landscapes… welcome to Morocco!
From the grand Atlantic mosques of Casablanca to the blue-washed lanes of Chefchaouen, from the medieval alleys of Fes to the sweeping dunes of the Sahara, this 10-day journey unfolds like the pages of an ancient travel diary.
You’ll ride camels into the sunset, sleep under a blanket of stars in the desert, and cross the Atlas Mountains into vibrant Marrakech. Every corner of Morocco tells a story, and this carefully crafted adventure lets you live it firsthand, in comfort and style.

Why This Safari Package Stands Out.
- Tailor-made for Canadian travelers: We design every itinerary with Canadian travel rhythms, seasonal preferences, and service expectations in mind (clear communication, timely logistics, and helpful pre-travel guidance).
- Private, experienced guides: Local, English-speaking guides who know the land intimately and love sharing the stories behind each place... not just the facts.
- Authentic encounters + comfort: From a night under the Sahara stars in a luxury camp to relaxed stays in charming riads, you get real local experiences without sacrificing comfort.
- Seamless logistics: One driver, one van, one plan: we handle permits, transfers, and timing so you can be present and enjoy the journey.
- Conservation and community focus: We partner with trusted local suppliers who support community projects and run eco-responsible operations wherever possible.
- Photography- and nature-friendly: Handpicked stops and optimal drive times maximize sightings and golden-hour moments for photographers and nature lovers.
- Flexible & customizable: Prefer a longer stay in the Sahara, a private cooking class, or a guided hike? We tailor the trip to your interests and pace.
- Safety-first approach: Rigorous supplier vetting, reliable vehicles, and 24/7 support ensure your trip is as secure as it is memorable.
Welcome to Morocco! Your adventure begins as you land at Casablanca’s Mohammed V International Airport, where our friendly representative greets you with a warm smile and a sense of excitement for what’s ahead.
If time allows, visit the Hassan II Mosque, a stunning architectural marvel perched on the Atlantic Coast — its soaring minaret glinting over the ocean. Later, settle into your hotel and enjoy a traditional Moroccan welcome dinner.
Overnight: Mövenpick Hotel Casablanca.
After breakfast, your journey north begins. First stop: Rabat, the elegant capital. Walk through the Royal Palace grounds, the hauntingly incomplete Hassan Tower, and the peaceful Kasbah of the Udayas overlooking the Atlantic.
By afternoon, the scenery shifts as the road winds into the Rif Mountains — soon the pastel blues of Chefchaouen appear like a mirage. This “Blue Pearl of Morocco” welcomes you with charm, calm, and countless photo opportunities.
Evening free to wander its lantern-lit lanes.
Overnight: Dar Echchaouen.
Wake up surrounded by shades of blue. After breakfast, enjoy a guided walk through the medina — Plaza Uta el-Hammam, the Kasbah Museum, and artisan workshops that hum softly with life.
In the afternoon, relax at a café terrace or hike up to the Spanish Mosque for panoramic views over the town as the sun turns the walls from turquoise to gold.
Overnight: Dar Echchaouen.
Today’s drive is rich with history. Journey south to the ancient Roman city of Volubilis, where crumbling columns and intricate mosaics whisper stories of empires past.
Continue to Meknes, once the imperial capital of Sultan Moulay Ismail — stroll through El Hedim Square and admire the monumental Bab Mansour Gate.
By evening, arrive in Fes, the spiritual heart of Morocco, and settle into your riad in the old medina.
Overnight: Riad Naz Zamane.
After breakfast, step back in time on a full-day guided exploration of Fes el Bali, the world’s largest living medieval city.
Lose yourself among narrow alleys where mules still carry goods, visit the ancient Al Quaraouiyine University, the shimmering tiles of Bou Inania Madrasa, and the colorful Chouara Tanneries.
The smell of spices and sound of craftsmen fill the air — it’s a sensory overload in the best way.
Evening free to unwind at your riad or join an optional cooking class to learn Moroccan tagine secrets.
Overnight: Riad Naz Zamane.
An early start takes you through the scenic Middle Atlas Mountains. Pass through Ifrane, the “Little Switzerland” of Morocco, and stop in Azrou’s cedar forests where wild Barbary macaques often play.
After a lunch break in Midelt, descend toward the golden dunes of Merzouga — the gateway to the Sahara.
As the sun dips low, trade wheels for hooves and ride your camel caravan into the vast sea of sand. The light fades to amber as you reach your luxury desert camp.
Enjoy mint tea by the fire, dinner under the stars, and the haunting rhythm of Berber drums echoing into the night.
Overnight: Azawad Luxury Camp.
Awaken before dawn for a sunrise over the dunes — an unforgettable sight. After breakfast, head to Rissani, a desert market town that was once the capital of the ancient Alaouite Kingdom.
Continue toward the dramatic cliffs of Todra Gorge, where ochre canyons rise over 300 meters high. Stretch your legs with a short walk along the river.
By evening, arrive in Ouarzazate, the gateway to the desert and Morocco’s “Hollywood.”
Overnight: Sultana Royal Golf.
After breakfast, explore Aït Ben Haddou, a striking UNESCO World Heritage site and filming location for Gladiator, Game of Thrones, and Lawrence of Arabia.
Then cross the High Atlas Mountains via the winding Tizi n'Tichka Pass. Each curve reveals new landscapes — rugged peaks, Berber villages, and valleys dotted with olive groves.
Arrive in Marrakech, where the desert meets the city’s energetic pulse.
Overnight: Riad WOW.
Today is all about color, rhythm, and life. Visit the Bahia Palace, Koutoubia Mosque, and the legendary Majorelle Garden, once owned by Yves Saint Laurent.
As evening falls, the Jemaa el-Fna Square transforms into a stage of storytellers, snake charmers, and sizzling street food.
Enjoy a farewell dinner under lanterns as the air fills with the scent of orange blossom and music.
Overnight: Riad WOW.
Enjoy a relaxed breakfast and some last-minute shopping for leather goods, spices, or handcrafted lamps before your transfer back to Casablanca Airport for your flight home.
As your plane lifts off, Morocco fades below — but its magic will stay with you long after your return to Canada.
