We begin our first exploration of Marrakech with its iconic symbols: the Koutoubia Minaret and Jemaa el-Fna Square.

Featuring the Mellah Jewish Quarter, the Portuguese Fortress, and the Fishing Port, Essaouira is one of Morocco's most characteristic stops. Its architecture bears traces of the Portuguese era, with streets adorned in white and blue tones, art galleries, and a bustling harbor. Known by its Portuguese name Mogador, Essaouira has historically been a meeting point for diverse cultures. The city has also attracted the attention of the film industry, serving as a natural set for important productions such as Orson Welles' Othello and Game of Thrones. During our visit, we explore the historic Mellah Jewish Quarter, the Portuguese Fortress, and the famous port with its blue fishing boats. As we walk through the wide, grid-like streets of the old town center, we closely experience the traces of traditional life and artistic culture. After our tour of Essaouira, we return to Marrakech.

MARRAKECH
After breakfast, we embark on a Marrakech City Tour: exploring the city's face that blends history, art, and shopping culture through Jardin Majorelle and the Medina souks. Since the early 20th century, Marrakech has attracted European artists, designers, musicians, and travelers, becoming a major hub where Africa's diverse cultures and colors converge. In the city's historic medina, you can witness traces of traditional life from the past to the present. We will explore one of the most colorful stops of our tour, Jardin Majorelle, getting up close with this unique garden synonymous with Yves Saint Laurent, admiring its exotic plant species, striking architecture, and characteristic colors. Here, we will have time to experience the garden's distinctive atmosphere and take a photo break. Afterwards, we proceed to the souks of the Medina, considered the heart of Marrakech. During free time, we will stroll through narrow streets lined with shops, discovering a wide variety of products ranging from vibrant spices and traditional Moroccan carpets to handcrafted leather goods, ceramics, argan-based items, and local souvenirs. After free time, we return to our hotel. Dinner and overnight stay at our hotel.
MARRAKECH – FILM STUDIOS – AIT BENHADDOU – OUARZAZATE
After breakfast, we depart from Marrakech on a journey "In the Footsteps of Cinema," heading toward Ouarzazate with the breathtaking views of the Atlas Mountains. Today's itinerary features special stops that highlight Morocco's significant role in the world of cinema. Before reaching Ouarzazate, we explore Ait Benhaddou, a striking settlement renowned for its earthen architecture and impressive silhouette. This historic site, which has preserved the region's characteristic architectural style for centuries, has served as a filming location for numerous Hollywood productions such as The Call, Jewels of the Nile, The Mummy, Gladiator, Alexander, and Babylon, as well as being one of the shooting locations for the series Game of Thrones. Next, we visit the Atlas Film Studios. These internationally famous studios reveal why Ouarzazate is known as "Africa's Hollywood." After our tour, we transfer to our hotel in Ouarzazate, a city that has hosted global stars like Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, and Martin Scorsese and has been home to countless film productions. Free time to settle into the hotel and rest. Dinner and overnight stay at our hotel.
OUARZAZATE – TINGHIR – SAHARA DESERT
After breakfast, we begin our journey to the Golden Sands of the Desert – The Golden Sultanate of the Sahara: Todra Valley and M'Gouna. Today, we will witness the changing landscapes of Morocco along our route. As majestic silhouettes of the Atlas Mountains accompany us alongside the endless vistas of the desert, we have the opportunity to closely explore the region's natural beauty. Along our route lie traditional water channels, the impressive Todra Valley, and the M'Gouna region, known as the "City of Roses." By the end of the day, we arrive at our accommodation in the Sahara Desert. After settling in, we will have free time to watch the sunset against the golden dunes of the desert. As the day ends, an unforgettable evening awaits us under the starry sky of the Sahara, far from city lights. We recommend not missing the sunrise in the morning and capturing this unique view with your camera. Dinner and overnight stay will be at our facility in the Sahara Desert.
SAHARA DESERT – MIDELT – IFRANE – FES
After breakfast, we depart from the Sahara towards Fes: traveling through the Ziz Valley, Midelt, and Ifrane. In the morning, we enjoy the impressive panoramic views of the Ziz Valley and take a photo stop. Then, we reach the town of Midelt, located at the foot of the Atlas Mountains. After a lunch break at a local restaurant, we continue our journey. Our next stop is Ifrane, nestled in the heart of the Atlas Mountains and known as "Little Switzerland of Morocco" due to its unique architecture. Unlike typical Moroccan cities, Ifrane stands out with its European-style architecture and significant ski resorts. We take a short coffee break here to experience the atmosphere of the surroundings. Afterward, we head to Fes. Upon arrival, we transfer to our hotel and have free time to rest. Dinner and overnight stay at our hotel.
FES – CHEFCHAOUEN – TANGIER
After breakfast, we explore Fes, one of the cities where Morocco's cultural heritage is felt most strongly: the Cultural Treasures of Morocco: Fes Medina and the Blue Streets of Chefchaouen. Our city tour begins at the magnificent entrance gate of the royal palace, Bab-el Makhzen, and the historic Mellah Jewish Quarter surrounding it. Then, we step into Fes' world-famous Medina. In its labyrinth-like narrow streets, historic madrasas, Al Quaraouiyine University, Nejjarine Square, traditional copper and jewelry souks, and Morocco's renowned ceramic workshops await us. At Fes' most characteristic sites, the traditional tanneries, we witness the centuries-old production process of leather craftsmanship. After our tour of Fes, we head to Chefchaouen, one of Morocco's most photogenic cities.

TANJA – RABAT – CASABLANCA
After breakfast, we head to the Heart of the Atlantic among the Royal Cities: Rabat and Casablanca, starting with Rabat, the capital of the Kingdom of Morocco. Located on the banks of the Bou Regreg River, Rabat is one of Morocco's most elegant cities, known for its historic structures and green spaces. As part of our city tour, we explore key landmarks of the capital, including Kasbah Oudaya, the Hassan Tower, and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V. After visiting Rabat, we proceed toward Casablanca. As Morocco's economic hub and one of its major port cities, Casablanca owes much of its global fame to the classic Hollywood film "Casablanca," set during World War II. During our city tour, we will see notable sites such as Mohammed V Square, the magnificent Hassan II Mosque overlooking the Atlantic coast, the bustling boulevards of modern Casablanca—Anfa and Zerktouni—and the panoramic views along the Corniche waterfront. Rick's Café, inspired by the film and now an iconic venue in Casablanca, will be a highlight of our tour. After the excursion, we transfer to our hotel and enjoy free time to relax. Dinner and overnight stay at our hotel.
