Start your day by dining on a delicious breakfast at the hotel. Later, take a journey to the peaceful town of Asilah, which is nestled between the bustling cities of Tangier and Tetouan. Here you’ll find tranquil beaches and a soothing atmosphere. Once you’ve arrived, explore the 14th-century Portuguese ramparts, the ancient gates, and meander through the flowery streets of the old medina. You’ll also be able to admire the Islamic and Andalusian style buildings, including the Pasha Raissouni Palace and the Palace of Culture, which looks like a fortress.

Today, our travels will take us from Asilah to the blue city of Chefchaouen, nestled at the base of Rif Mountains. In the centre of town lies the main square – the heart of Chefchaouen – with its historic Kasbah from the 18th century, the mosque, and traditional cafes. After taking in the sights of the city, we will set off on a 3km journey to Ras El Maa to explore its old medina.

It’s time to embark on a unique journey with your guide into the picturesque Bouhachem park and the majestic Rif mountains. A 4WD vehicle will provide passage to the cannabis farms, granting an opportunity to explore the local cultivation areas and learn about them. Afterwards, we will be welcomed into a local family home and enjoy a delicious lunch while admiring the breathtaking views. Finally, we will continue to Fes.

This morning, our journey begins bright and early as we set off for the vast Sahara. Enjoy the splendid views of the rolling mountains, lush valleys, tall pines, deep canyons, and golden sands. 4WDs will take us from Erfoud to Merzouga for a truly unique Saharan experience. Spend the night in a luxury desert camp and marvel at the blanket of stars overhead, while a crackling campfire warms the night.

There’s no better way to start the day than by going on a camel ride to witness the amazing sunrise in the middle of the desert! After a delicious breakfast back at our camp, we’ll travel to Erfoud to drop off the 4WD before continuing to Tinghir for a quick lunch break. Finally, we make our way to Ouarzazate and our hotel for the night.

We’ll begin our day with an adventure across the west coast, starting in Tazenakht. We’ll be given an insightful lesson on the art of Berber rug-weaving before exploring the bustling bazaars. Then, journey onward to Taliouine, the ‘capital’ of saffron, where you’ll learn all you need to know about the rare, luxurious spice. Our tour continues to Taroudant and the Claudio Bravo museum. Wander the pathways and savor the many sculptures and exotic plants. Tour the estate, with its interconnected rooms, courtyards and passageways, as well as the artist’s workshop and private suites. View Bravo’s works and art pieces created by friends such as Picasso. Settle for tea and Moroccan pastries in the pavilion near the artificial lake, where you can take in the stunning view of the snow-capped High Atlas.

Once we hit the road, our next port of call is the Domaine du Val d’Argan. This impressive 1,500hectare vineyard is home to a selection of red, white and rose wines, produced by traditional winemaking techniques with the assistance of modern equipment. The winery has a phenomenal reputation for the Val d’Argan and Orian Rouge labels, and their cellar is stocked with an impressive 200,000 bottles at any given moment. After that, we will be visiting the town of Essaouira, famed for its gorgeous beaches, which are made up of picturesque white sand and reinvigorated by the tropical trade winds. During our visit, we’ll be able to explore the incredible Kasbah, the charming Medina, and the bustling port.

Today you can explore the city and uncover its hidden gems. Or simply kick back at the beach and take in the sight of kite surfers gliding across the waves.

We are now en route to the captivating city of Marrakech, and we’ll soon be visiting Le Jardin Secret, which is open to the public for the first time in its four-hundred-year existence. This complex dates back to the Saadian Dynasty, and was later renovated in the mid-Nineteenth century by an influential kaid of the Atlas Mountains. Notable political figures have passed through the grounds, and now, visitors can experience the grandeur of this Arab-Andalusian and Moroccan palace firsthand. With its lush gardens and stunning architecture, Le Jardin Secret is a monument to Islamic art and culture, and we are excited to explore it.
