Colours of Morocco

Immerse yourself in the colourful tapestry of Morocco, where rambling souks and ornate mosques await your discovery. From the bustling streets of Casablanca to the golden dunes of the Sahara, every moment is filled with history and culture.

Your journey begins in the charming capital city of Rabat, where you’ll marvel at the Kasbah des Oudaias and Hassan Tower. Venture to the enchanting blue city of Chefchaouen, where winding alleys lead to the 18th-century Kasbah Museum. Walk among the fascinating ruins of Volubilis, a UNESCO-listed site showcasing some of North Africa’s best-preserved Roman architecture. In Fes, enjoy a full-day exploring the city’s mesmerising Islamic architecture, centuries-old monuments and historic Jewish landmarks.

Head south through the dramatic landscapes of the Middle Atlas Mountains to Merzouga, known for its breathtaking landscapes and rich Berber culture. Experience the undulating dunes of Erg Chebbi in a 4×4 vehicle, sip tea with a nomad family and see a traditional Gnawa music performance. Ride a camel across sweeping sandscapes to a desert camp for an evening of Berber hospitality, music and dancing beneath the stars.

Travel to the towering cliffs of Todgha Gorge, where lush palm groves contrast with rugged red rock formations. Retreat to the fragrant Valley of Roses and enjoy lunch with a local Berber family in their home before arriving in Taroudant. Head to Marrakech to tick the Koutoubia Mosque, Saadian Tombs and Bahia Palace off your bucket list. As dusk falls, explore the open-air bazaars at Jemaa el Fnaa, where sizzling street food and snake charmers delight.

Conclude your adventure in Casablanca, where the grand Hassan II Mosque stands as a breathtaking architectural masterpiece.
