Tour Itinerary
Ten days. Four imperial cities. One night beneath the Sahara stars. This is the grand loop through Morocco — the journey that carries you from the ochre ramparts of Marrakech, over the High Atlas at the Tizi n'Tichka pass, down through the palm-filled valleys of the south, and out into the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi near Merzouga. From the desert the road climbs north through the Ziz Valley to Fes, the world's largest car-free urban area, then winds through the Roman ruins of Volubilis and the blue-washed lanes of Chefchaouen in the Rif Mountains. The final stretch follows the Atlantic from Tangier and Asilah down through Rabat and Casablanca to the wind-battered ramparts of Essaouira, before the return to Marrakech.
