Morocco Roundtrip from Marrakech - Cities, Mountains, Desert and Sea

Our Morocco Roundtrip begins in the vibrant city of Marrakech, and our first stop is the iconic city of  Casablanca.. Here, we’ll marvel at the grandeur of the Hassan II Mosque., one of the largest mosques in the world. Its towering minaret, reaching a height of 210 meters, is not only the highest minaret in the world but also the tallest religious building! The awe-inspiring architecture and rich history of the mosque will leave us with unforgettable impressions.

Continuing our journey, we’ll make our way to the capital city of Rabat, the first  royal city on our itinerary. Here, we’ll explore the medieval medina and visit the famous  Hassan Tower, guided by our knowledgeable tour guide. We’ll have the  opportunity to discover the city’s hidden gems and insider tips, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in its historical surroundings. As the day comes to a close, we’ll spend the night in a cozy small hotel in Rabat, ready for the adventures that lie ahead in our Morocco Roundtrip.

That’s what happens:

• Casablanca and Hassan II Mosque
• Royal city of Rabat and Medina
• Atlantic coast

After a hearty breakfast, we continue our journey from Rabat to Fès, which is considered the oldest and most important of the four royal cities in Morocco. Upon arrival, we check into our accommodation and you have the rest of the day to explore the city at your leisure. You can soak up the atmosphere and immerse yourself in the rich history and culture of the city.

The highlights:

• King city Rabat and Medina
• Royal city of Fès and Medina

Today we can explore the secrets of Fès extensively. we explore the medina of Fès, which has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1981. Here we have enough time to explore the huge and well-preserved medina of the city. The winding alleys and monumental buildings give a good idea of the medieval atmosphere of the past centuries. Thanks to our local guide, who is familiar with the city and its people, nothing remains hidden from us. We spend the dinner and the night again in our riad.

Today we leave the big city and head for the Atlas Mountains and South Morocco. After breakfast we start our journey through the varied and impressive mountain region to Tinghir. On the way we have the possibility to explore the mountain towns Ifrane and Midelt on a small stop and to stretch our feet and eat something. Arrived in Tinghir we visit the impressive Todra Gorges. After the journey we spend the evening and the night in a quiet inn in Tinghir and gather strength for the next days.

    highlights:

• Atlas Mountains
• Mountain towns of Ifrane and Midelt
• Oasis town Tinghir
• Todra Gorges

The road continues south. In Zagora we walk on the tracks of old tribes through surrounding palm groves and explore the ancient Amezrou-Kasbah. The forgotten Kasbah is a real insider tip, which is almost exclusively known by the locals and whose history has been passed on from generation to generation. A visit to the local cooperative museum is also possible. Here we benefit from the tour guide’s knowledge of the area. The museum is a private collection of ancient artefacts and not a public museum. Those who don’t know it won’t find it and won’t get access! After the deep insights into the secrets of the Draa valley we continue into the Sahara. Between the first sand dunes of Tinfou near Tamegroute lies our desert camp. After the sunset over the sand dunes of the desert, we enjoy our dinner in the circle of the campfire and bed down in our nomad tents to rest.

     highlights:

• Zagora and the Amezrou-Kasbah
• Hike through the palm oasis
• Visit to a private collection of artefacts from the Draa Valley
• Night in a desert camp

The day begins with the exploration of Tamegroute. The small village in southern Morocco is an important centre of learning and religion in Morocco and an important place of pilgrimage to this day. Our tour guide grew up in the area and knows every corner of this insider tip. Also the library with original copies of the Koran from the 12th century and the traditional ceramics cooperative are visited by us. We continue to Mhamid, the gateway to Morocco’s largest desert. After an enjoyable picnic under palm trees, the path continues through the Sahara to the holy oasis of Oum Lâalag. Here we saddle up for camels that will bring us safely to our desert camp at Erg Chegaga. After the sunset over the sand dunes of the Sahara and a refreshing shower, we enjoy relaxed berber music for dinner at the campfire. You spend the night either in your comfortable nomad tent or under the incomparable starry sky of the Sahara, just as you like.

Through the barren stone desert and over the dried out lake Iriki we continue to the oasis town Taznakht. Optionally there is the possibility to visit the feminist carpet cooperative in Taznakht. Taznakht is known for its carpets and saffron. The cosy inn in the oasis town of Taliouine is our destination for the evening and the night. The berber village offers a quiet atmosphere, a green oasis in the middle of a barren, scree-like hilly landscape.

We visit the Berber Museum in Agadir and learn a lot about the Berbers from the Sous region. For the evening and the night we find ourselves in the quaint fishing village Taghazout, which is a real insider tip among Moroccan experts.
