Departure

We depart from your hotel at your requested time — usually at 8:00 am. Let us know how many people are travelling, your travel date, and the accommodation category: standard or luxury.

Departing from Casablanca

Eleven days from Casablanca is long enough to trace a complete loop of Morocco without repeating a road: north to Rabat and Meknes, east to Fes and the Middle Atlas, south through Erfoud to the Sahara dunes at Merzouga, west via Ouarzazate and the Draa Valley, and north again to Marrakech. Your tour departs from your Casablanca hotel or Mohamed V International Airport, with your private driver-guide meeting you at the agreed time.

The Casablanca departure frames Morocco’s diversity more completely than a Marrakech start: you move through four imperial cities (Casablanca, Rabat, Meknes, Fes), two mountain ranges (Rif and High Atlas), the arid Saharan edge, and Morocco’s Atlantic coastline in a single continuous private journey. No transfers between operators, no group schedules — just your own pace, your own guide.

We include all accommodation, daily breakfast and dinner, private vehicle with fuel, and guided time in each destination. Lunches, personal shopping and optional activities such as quad bikes, hot-air balloon rides or cooking classes are not included but can be arranged.
