Day 2: RABAT - CHEFCHAOUEN (Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)
In the morning, we explored Rabat and saw some of its historical attractions, such as the Hassan Tower, a minaret that was supposed to be part of a grand mosque but was never completed, and the Mohammed V's Mausoleum, where the former king and his two sons are buried. The mausoleum was very elegant and solemn, with guards standing outside. Then we headed to Chefchaouen, also known as the Blue City, because of its charming blue-washed houses and streets. Chefchaouen was one of my favorite places in Morocco, because it was so peaceful and picturesque. We walked around the medina, the old town, and admired the colorful handicrafts, carpets, pottery and jewelry. We also visited the main square, where there was a lively atmosphere with musicians, performers and vendors. We had lunch and dinner at local restaurants and enjoyed some delicious Moroccan cuisine.
Day 3: CHEFCHAOUEN - FES (Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)
We left Chefchaouen and drove to Fes, the cultural and spiritual center of Morocco. Fes is famous for its medina, which is the largest and oldest in the world. It's like a maze of narrow alleys, filled with shops, mosques, schools, workshops and houses. We had a guided tour of the medina and saw some of its highlights, such as the Royal Palace (from outside), the Nejjarine fountain, which is decorated with mosaic tiles and carved wood, and the Madrasa Bouinania, which is an Islamic school and mosque that dates back to the 14th century. We also visited a tannery, where leather is processed using natural dyes and traditional methods. The tannery was very smelly but also very fascinating to see. We had lunch at a restaurant inside the medina and dinner at our hotel.
Day 4: FES - IFRANE - MERZOUGA (Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)
We left Fes early in the morning and drove to Ifrane, a small town in the Middle Atlas mountains that is known as the Switzerland of Morocco because of its alpine-style architecture and climate. We had a short walk around the town and saw some cute chalets, gardens and fountains. Then we continued our journey to Merzouga, a desert town near the border with Algeria. Along the way, we saw some amazing scenery of mountains, valleys, forests and oases. We arrived in Merzouga in the afternoon and had one of the most memorable experiences of my trip: a camel ride in the Sahara desert! We rode our camels for about an hour until we reached our campsite in the middle of the sand dunes. We watched the sunset over the horizon and felt like we were in another world. We had dinner at our campsite and enjoyed some music and dancing around a bonfire. We slept in tents under a starry sky.
Day 5: MERZOUGA - TINGHIR - OUARZAZATE (Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)
We woke up early to catch the sunrise over the desert and then rode our camels back to Merzouga. We had breakfast at our hotel and then drove to Tinghir, a town near the Todra Gorge, which is a spectacular canyon with towering cliffs that reach up to 300 meters high. We walked along the gorge and admired its natural beauty. Then we drove to Ouarzazate, a city that is known as the Hollywood of Morocco because of its film studios that have hosted many famous movies such as Gladiator, The Mummy and Game of Thrones. We stopped at the Kasbah Taourirt, a fortified palace that was once the residence of a powerful local ruler. The kasbah was very impressive, with its mud-brick walls and towers, and its intricate decorations inside. We had dinner and stayed overnight in Ouarzazate.
Day 6: OUARZAZATE - MARRAKECH (Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)
Day 7: MARRAKECH - CASABLANCA (Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner)
We had some free time in the morning to explore Marrakech on our own or do some shopping. Then we drove back to Casablanca, where we had lunch at a restaurant. We had some free time in the afternoon to relax or do some sightseeing. We had dinner at our hotel.
