Fable of Morocco 9 Days

Arrival in Marrakech. Welcome to Morocco! We’ll transfer you to the hotel and, in the afternoon, you’ll enjoy a traditional horse-drawn carriage ride to the famous Jemaa el-Fnaa Square (included). Dinner will be included.

Today, we´ll explore one of the most fascinating places in the world, the city that gave Morocco its name. Our city tour will take us through its strong walls, the bustling Jemaa el-Fnaa square, the Medina, the Koutoubia Mosque, and the Bahia Palace (tickets included). Afterward, you´ll have free time for lunch (included) and to relax by the pool or in the hotel garden, or to shop in the souks. In the evening, you can join the Fantasy Party, an optional excursion offered by Europamundo.

We’ll set out to cross the Atlas Mountains, where lofty peaks often covered in snow bid us farewell as we leave the palm groves of Marrakech. You’ll see small Berber villages clinging to the edges of deep gorges. Our journey includes a stop at the fortified village of Ait Benhaddou, renowned for its appearances in numerous movies. As we travel through landscapes reminiscent of biblical scenes, we´ll pause in Ouarzazate, known for its impressive Kasbah. Continuing through the Valley of Roses, we´ll reach Boumalne Dades where dinner will be included.


Note: Occasionally in winter, roads may close due to snowdrifts. If necessary, this part of the itinerary will be rescheduled according to our alternative plan. (Access to the Sahara Desert depends on road conditions).

Embark on an exhilarating journey through the Sahara Desert: traverse the Valley of the Kasbahs, river valleys surrounded by thousands of palm trees, rocky plains merging into lush oases and adobe villages, and formidable fortresses guarding ancient thoroughfares. Our visit includes the awe-inspiring Todgha Gorge, a majestic canyon with towering walls rising more than 100 meters on both sides. En route, we´ll stop at a small adobe town near Khorbat, where you can learn about the desert community supported by the Europamundo Foundation (access may be affected by weather conditions such as river flooding). We’ll proceed towards Erfoud. For those interested, an off-road excursion to the Sahara Desert sand dunes offers a breathtaking sunset experience. Lunch will be included.

We’ll depart early from Erfoud, crossing the Atlas Mountains once again through dramatic gorges and breathtaking landscapes. We’ll then traverse a high, chilly plateau inhabited by nomadic shepherds. Our journey includes a brief stop in Midelt, a commercial town in the heart of the region, known primarily for its agriculture. We’ll continue our route with a stop for lunch (included) in the Middle Atlas, by a lake in a beautiful natural setting. The scenery will change dramatically as we enter a region rich in forests, where snow is common in winter. Near Azrou, we’ll visit the ¨House of Cedars¨ in a national park—a small museum that provides insight into the region. Here, we’ll also have the chance to observe the lively colonies of monkeys that inhabit the area. Our journey will then take us to Bhalil, a small and peaceful town inhabited by Berbers of the Middle Atlas, known for its picturesque old town with colorful streets. Traditionally, people lived in caves here, which are now integrated into the houses. We’ll continue to Fez, where, before heading to our hotel, we’ll admire views of the ancient city from the Marinid Tombs. Dinner will be included

We’ll go on a tour of Fez, entering through the Bronze Gates of the Royal Palace and exploring the Jewish quarter, its lively souks, and the Tanners´ Quarter. The cultural capital of the country is renowned for its impressive Medina, which preserves the traditional Arab atmosphere like no other. We’ll conclude our visit with an included lunch at a historic palace in the Medina.


In the afternoon, we’ll journey north through Morocco on a modern highway, reaching Tangier by evening. Dinner will be included.

We´ll have some free time in the morning in Tangier before heading south to Asilah. This small, picturesque walled city on the Atlantic coast was once a bustling ancient port and a notorious base for pirates. Today, it brims with vibrant life. We´ll take a leisurely stroll through its charming streets. Later in the evening, we will arrive in Rabat, where dinner will be included.

We’ll go on a city tour of Rabat to visit the immense Royal Palace, the Mausoleum of Mohammed V and the mighty Kasbah of the Udayas. At midday, we’ll head to Casablanca, where we’ll go on a short city tour with a local guide. The tour will include a visit to the exterior of one of the most important mosques in the Arab world, the magnificent Hassan II Mosque. Later, we’ll go to Marrakech, arriving in the evening. Dinner will be included.
