Moroccan Mosaic: From Casablanca's Chic to Atlas' Peaks

  • Day 1: Marhaba! Unveiling Casablanca's Charm

Arrive in the cosmopolitan city of Casablanca, an intriguing blend of modern verve and Age of Discovery spirit. Your private driver await, eager to whisk you away on an unforgettable Moroccan odyssey through this nation of profound hospitality.


  • Day 2: Casablanca's Crowning Glory

After a rejuvenating breakfast, marvel at Casablanca's magnum opus - the breathtaking Hassan II Mosque. With its 200-metre minaret topped by lasers and a roof that retracts to expose the skies, this modern architectural wonder pays homage to Morocco's Islamic heritage through the skilled hands of over 6,000 local artisans. As the second-largest mosque in Africa, the intricate carvings, sculpted plaster, zellige tiles, and hand-carved woods dazzle the senses before you depart for storied Marrakech.


  • Day 3: The Kaleidoscopic Allure of Marrakech

Step into Marrakech, the fabled "Red City", and prepare to be swept up in its kaleidoscope of sights, sounds, and scents. Explore the UNESCO-protected medina, wandering its winding souks brimming with colorful spices, textiles, handicrafts, and delectable fare. The iconic Jemaa El-Fna square enchants with snake charmers, acrobats, musicians, and indescribable energy. Nearby, discover the Bahia Palace's intricately carved cedar ceilings, the El Badi Palace ruins, and the historic Jewish Quarter's storied alleys.


  • Day 4: The Ocean-Caressed Muse of Essaouira

The fortified seaside town of Essaouira casts its bohemian spell, luring artists, musicians, and poets for centuries. Stroll atop the 16th-century Portuguese ramparts overlooking crashing Atlantic waves, or wander the whitewashed medina adorned with bright blue shutters and doors. Browse argan oil co-ops, art galleries, and lively souks before basking on Essaouira's broad golden beaches as the sun slips into the sea.


  • Day 5: Marrakech's Lush, Romantic Sanctuaries Escape

Marrakech's frenetic pulse at the Jardin Majorelle, a verdant masterpiece crafted by painter Jacques Majorelle showcasing exotic plants from around the globe amid vivid cobalt buildings, splashing fountains, and winding paths. Follow the "red gold" route to a traditional farm cultivating precious saffron, learning the spice's storied Moroccan history. Finally, find serenity at Anima, an enchanting terraced garden sanctuary conceived as a space for limitless inspiration amid pools, alcoves, and fragrant blooms.


  • Day 6: Mastering Moroccan Culinary Arts

Moroccan cuisine is a tantalizing tapestry woven from Arabic, Mediterranean, and Amazigh cultural threads. This morning, join a local chef for a hands-on cooking workshop exploring the art of fragrant tagines, buttery couscous, flatbreads, and decadent sweets. In a serene riad courtyard, you'll master techniques passed down through generations as aromas of saffron, cinnamon, and rosewater perfume the air. Spend the afternoon at leisure shopping or relaxing before savoring your delectable creations.


  • Day 7: Hiking Through Atlas Mountain

Majesty The rugged Atlas Mountains beckon with breathtaking vistas today on an invigorating journey to the trailhead village of Imlil. Follow your Berber guide along ancient footpaths threading through verdant valleys, terraced farmlands, and wildflower meadows, the silvery High Atlas peaks piercing the horizon. Break for a hearty Moroccan lunch at a local family's home before venturing to the Ourika Valley, an Eden adorned with palm-fringed rivers tumbling from waterfalls.


  • Day 8: Farewell to Marrakech's Magic

On your final morning, savor one last rejuvenating Moroccan breakfast before bidding farewell to Marrakech's enthralling charms. From Casablanca's cosmopolitan cool to the winding alleyways of Marrakech's medina, the seaside Bohemian spirit of Essaouira to the majestic Atlas peaks, Morocco offers an unparalleled feast for the senses.
