Package Overview
This 7-day journey weaves together Morocco’s most dramatic contrasts. Begin in Tangier, where the Atlantic kisses the Mediterranean. Drift into the blue-washed alleyways of Chefchaouen, a mountain refuge painted by history and faith. Walk the labyrinth of Fez, the country’s spiritual heart, then cross the Atlas foothills to Marrakech, a desert empire of palaces, gardens, and storytellers. Each day is a new color: sapphire, ochre, emerald, and terracotta.
Highlights
- Cape Spartel – Stand where two seas collide at the entrance to the Straits of Gibraltar.
- Chefchaouen’s Blue Medina – Wander cobbled lanes lined with indigo and white houses, a living canvas of 15th-century Jewish heritage
- Fez’s Medieval Labyrinth – Step inside a UNESCO world of tanneries, fountains, and the world’s oldest university (Karaouine).
- Majorelle Garden – Discover Yves Saint Laurent’s electric-blue oasis in Marrakech.
- Jamaa El Fna Square – Feel the pulse of Marrakech by night: snake charmers, food stalls, and drummers
