Luxury Morocco Itinerary

The Sights, Sounds and Souks of Morocco

Morocco 10 day itinerary: Tangier, Casablanca, Fez, Marrakech – the very names of these cities are enough to stir the travellers’ spirit in most of us.  

Visitors to Morocco are enchanted by the country’s unique living history and its rich tapestry of culture and civilization. Our Morocco 10 day itinerary combines visits to cities, mountains, beaches and desert – it truly is a plan with something for everyone. 

An easy hop from Europe, and a delicious assault on all the senses, Morocco is proving to have staying-power as an international destination. This itinerary focusses on Northern Morocco, with a road trip through some of the less visited but more relaxed towns. There are also some serious treats in store for passionate foodies along the way.  

Starting in Tangier, you can take in the clear light reflected off the Mediterranean as you’re guided through the city’s various fondouks and studios, learning of their crafts, designs and traditions.  

Travel through the scenery of the Rif Mountains before you’re treated to a guided tour of the charming mountain town of Chefchaouen, known for its sky-blue painted medina and fragrant orange trees. Then it’s on to Fez for a Hidden Medina Tour, Tasting Trail, and a day of cultural immersion as you learn to shop for, prepare and cook a shared meal with our lovely local family in their beautiful riad.  

The trip ends with a trip to Oualidia and a boat trip to the oyster farms, before arriving at your Deluxe Room at the Four Seasons Hotel in legendary Casablanca, from where you can explore its winding streets, beach clubs and the exquisite seafood restaurants of the Corniche.
