Embark on an unforgettable journey through the wonders of Morocco. This Grand Tour will take you all over the country, visiting 17 cities – a mix of history, culture, and incredible beaches.

The journey begins in the vibrant city of Marrakesh, where the narrow streets of the medina invite you to discover its secrets. From day 2, Essaouira takes you back in time, revealing the remains of an ancient Portuguese fortress of undeniable charm. In Oualidia, you'll be lulled by the softness of a beach protected by a lagoon, before plunging into the history of El Jadida, a medieval Portuguese town. Casablanca reveals its cosmopolitan atmosphere, and the capital Rabat seduces you with its Kasbah and royal gardens.

In the Erfoud desert, a jeep 4x4 will take you through the dunes, where you'll have the opportunity to sleep in a bivouac under the stars of the Merzouga desert. The road through the Todra Gorges and the Dades Valley will dazzle you with its majestic landscapes, before you marvel at the Kasbah of Ait Ben-Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On your return to Marrakesh, the Koutoubia Mosque, ornate palaces and colorful souks will fill you with wonder as you end your journey in style.
