ITINERARY IN DETAIL
Sitting on the very edge of Africa, a quick 40 min ferry trip from Spain, Tangier has always been a destination for creative spirits and designers. With your own guide you’ll explore the city learning about Tangier crafts and design traditions and visiting behind the scenes places like Foundouk Chejra, Kenza Bennani Studio, Djebli, Zelart and more.
This enchanting city sits in the mountains with its breathtaking views, springs, watermills, natural pools, gorgeous blue alleyways and blue-washed buildings is a hidden gem. The tour will begin in the Spanish section, showing the city’s colonial legacy, before entering the Medina where you’ll enjoy the distinctive Arab-Andalusian art and architecture. Then its onto the Outa Hammam Square with the 14th-century fortress and the big mosque, before visiting the Ras El Maa spring.
Be guided on a tour of exploration around the ancient city of Fez, showcasing the alluring charm of the medina, the colourful streets and souks and the rich tapestry of life that exists within its ancient walls. Gain access to ancient palaces and Islamic gardens, observe weavers at their loom and hidden workshops where generations of artisans ply their trades and adapt century old techniques to a modern market.
Find your way through the streets and souks with a local Fez food expert. Start by exploring the fresh food souks, then on to the honey souk to taste an array of delicious honeys, and learn about their flavours, properties why honey is so important in Moroccan cooking and Islamic culture. From the honey souk, visit traditional farnatchis, the spice El attarryia and the henna souk. Try traditional Moroccan foods including dried meats, milawi, harsha, briwats, spicy sardines, and fresh goat’s cheese, finishing off with a visit to a traditional Moroccan tea house.
More than a cooking class, this is a complete immersion into Moroccan culture and family life. You’ll spend the day with our lovely local family in their beautiful riad, heading out to shop for seasonal ingredients, make bread baked at the local faran, learn to preserve lemons and prepare traditional Moroccan salads, and discover the art of making the perfect mint tea. Your delicious feast will be shared with the family, Moroccan style.
A traditional fishing boat will take you to the other side of the lagoon, a short walking distance from a secluded cove on the Atlantic Ocean to explore the Oyster farms. Discover Oualidia’s oyster beds and learn about oyster farming on the lagoon which dates from the 1950 s before returning for tasting of some of the best oysters in the country.
Nothing but the best. On this suggested Morocco 10 day itinerary these are our handpicked, tried-and-tested choices.
Testimonials
Bilal is certainly worth his body weight in gold. He was on hand every step of the way and really became part of the Buckland team. We loved him. I accidentally left my Chanel glasses in one the Land Rovers while being taken from Marrakech to the Champagne reception destination at Black Rocks. (I didn’t do the quadbiking). I only found this out when I got back to the hotel at 2.15am on Tuesday morning. Thankfully, I needed to send my email address to Bilal for an invoice, so just happened to mention that I had left them 'somewhere' but most likely the Land Rover. At 8.45am the following morning he walked into the hotel reception with my glasses. Just brilliant!
I have been raving about the Route du Sud and cazenove+loyd to all who will listen! We had the most marvellous trip from start to finish and I credit you with making it so. There were so many personal touches and no 'hiccups' on the trip. We felt taken care of and very confident that all would go as planned, which it did. I was so impressed with the details and surprises along the way. Another wonderful touch was the incredibly informative and useful app with our itineraries, maps, photos and more. I used it while in France to show a new Moroccan friend and to recommend the trip and Dar Ahlam to his wife and him. Ellen, Frank and I all travel the globe a great deal and this had to be one of the best trips ever because of the destination, Thierry Tessier’s vision and cazenove+loyd. Thank you again for your attention to the many, many details. I wasn’t ready to leave magical Morocco at the end. You are simply the best and I would not hesitate to travel with you again!
What can I say? But thank you so very much for arranging the most amazing experiences in Morocco. From start to finish the organisation was impeccable. The team here are still trying to process everything we pulled together. The balloon ride was out of this world and really quite unbelievable. Thank you. Mark never uses the word 'tremendous' but he has on this occasion to describe our time in Morocco.
Oh that we had more friends who’d throw a party for 100 guests at the Amanjena in Marrakech! This was a mean feat of organisation for cazenove+ loyd, who planned every aspect of the party down to the finest detail and pulled it off with faultless aplomb. We trekked, we danced, we swam, we shopped, we ate, we drank and were entertained at every turn by dancers, acrobats, jugglers and musicians. What do I remember most? The horse-drawn carriages taking us to dinner in the Medina, the fancy-dress outfits laid on our beds awaiting our arrival, the 30m dining table laid out beneath the stars in the hotel’s garden and the day trip to the Atlas Mountains to trek in the hills before a lavish picnic on a high escarpment with rolling views of the countryside.
