We stop to visit the Mausoleum of Mohammed V and Hassan Tower, site of Sultan Yacoub el Mansour’s failing to create the largest mosque in the world. Visit of Rabat would not be complete without viewing the oldest part of the city, Chellah Necropolis. Dating from the time of Almohads, here you also find many ruins of the Roman Empire too.

After your Breakfast, meet with our guide for the city Tour of Chefchaouen.
With its distinctive pale blue and whitewashed buildings and winding alleyways, Chefchaouen is a charming place with strong Andalusian connections. It was here that many Jews and Moors fled during the Spanish Inquisition.
Highlights of our day include a short hike to the ruin of the "Spanish" mosque with its fantastic panoramic view; a visit to the Ras el-Ma, where the city's fresh water springs from the mountain; and a stroll through the wonderfully restored kasbah and gardens.

Overnight in Fes with breakfast
At 9.30 am. Fez, the cultural capital, is one of the most complete medieval Islamic cities in the world. Passing through the gates and walls into the alleyways beyond transports you back in time. The streets are just as they were when they were built in the 8th century, with high walls that protect the courtyards inside from the heat of the midday sun. Enormous theosophical colleges, beautiful mosques and fascinating souks spilling their goods onto the pavement are all part of the scene.
You will have a walking tour to some of the major points of interest as well as some free time to wander. You’ll visit the Place an-Nejjarine, where an ancient caravanserai overlooks a fountain; wander outside the great Qayrawan mosque, passing 14th century merchant's shops;head to the tanneries - where leather is stained in vats of strikingly colored dyes. In the souk al- Attarine the scent of exotic spices fills the air and close by a hammam, or traditional bathhouse, steams away the stresses of life

An early morning departure at 8am from your riad in Fes towards the Middle Atlas Mountains , we stop to visit ifran City the marocain Swiss town , we cross on today's drive will be diverse and constantly changing.
At first we encounter the cedar forests south of Azrou contrasting starkly with the surrounding barrenness of the Middle Atlas. Here we might catch a glimpse of Barbary apes. Then we start slowly descend the Middle Atlas ranges and wind up in the palm oasis of the stunning Ziz Valley. The road will take us across Erfoud and Rissani to the desert of Merzouga.
then head off into the vastness of the dunes on a camel caravan accompanied by camelteers. The sturdy camel has been a mainstay of desert life over the centuries, being used to ship the precious cargoes from Sub Saharan African to the trading ports of the Mediterranean coast. You can ride or walk alongside as you slip into the pace of the caravan led by Berber guides and marvel at the awesome spectacle of the desert and the solitude and silence that comes with it.

a spectacular gash in the hills that surround Tinerhir. The region is dotted with deserted kasbahs, palmeries and mud- brick villages, creating a photographer’s paradise. The cliffs loom above as you approach the mouth of Todra Gorge. Rising to 300m, the honey-colored hues of the sheer face change constantly as the sun moves across the sky. Local Berber people can often be seen moving their herds through the gorge.
Heading into the gorge you’ll have the chance to stretch your legs on a walk to fully appreciate the beauty of the area. Then we continue the journey To Dades Gorge .

MarToday we set onto Ouarzazate and nearby Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou.
This is probably the best-preserved fortified Kasbah in the country. With its dramatic walls of red earth, slit windows and crumbling towers, it is a magnificent example of a traditional stronghold. Chosen as a location for Hollywood films such as Lawrence of Arabia, Jewel in the Nile, and more recently Gladiator, Ait Ben Haddou sits upon a lofty pinnacle of rock overlooking a river. Dating from
around the 15th century, its importance as a trading post gradually waned, and today's inhabitants live from farming... and as film extras!.
