| Day | Destination | Description |
| Day 1 | Casablanca | Get acquainted with the distinct architecture and European flavour of this famed city. Home to one of the largest mosques in the world and the tallest minaret as well as a variety of great cafes and restaurants, Casablanca has plenty of fantastic sights. |
| Day 2 | Village Stay | See monuments spanning the history of Morocco on a walk through Rabat's Old Quarter. Visit the ancient Roman city of Volubilis, before spending the night in the remote holy village of Moulay Idriss. Once forbidden to non-Muslims, this village offers an excellent insight into traditional Moroccan life. |
| Days 3-4 | Fes | Visit the old imperial stronghold of Meknes and take a step back into the Middle Ages in Fes, one of the most complete medieval cities in the world. Why not begin explorations from the scenic Merenid tombs, and finish off with some friendly haggling for souvenirs in the medina? |
| Days 5-6 | Chefchaouen | Nestled between two peaks in the Rif Mountains, pretty Chefchaouen is a perfect place to relax. Spend your time here shopping for unique handicrafts in the medina, or simply sit at a cafe and watch the world go by. Then take a tour to the coastal port of Tangier. |
| Day 7-8 | Marrakesh | Tantalise your senses with a walk through the city's main square - Djemaa el-Fna. Rub shoulders with crowds of visitors and locals alike, engrossed in the spectacle of dancers, snake-charmers and acrobats. Wander through the kasbah quarter, the Mellah and the mosaic of souks and lose yourself to the sights, scents and sounds of delightful Marrakesh. |
