Itinerary
Day 1
WELCOME TO MOROCCO!
Welcome to Morocco, the land of vibrant souks and bustling medinas, where the intoxicating scents of exotic spices and sizzling street food fill the air! We’ll kick things off in the port city of Casablanca, where you’ll find awesome Arabic architecture around every corner. Forget about any arrival stress, because we’ll pick you up from the airport and take you back to our centrally located hotel! You’ll have time to freshen up after the flight, and maybe even take a wander along the city’s waterfront, before meeting the group tonight for a fun-filled welcome dinner.
Day 2
CASABLANCA + RABAT + VOLUBILIS
Get ready to hit the streets of Casablanca this morning and embark on a tour of the city’s most sensational sights (including the Hassan II Mosque, of course!). Then, we’ll hop aboard our air-conditioned minivan and make our way to Rabat, the capital of Morocco. The best part? The historical centre of Rabat is compact, so it’s easy for us to see its amazing highlights. This afternoon, we have one more surprise up our sleeves – Volubilis, a jaw-dropping UNESCO-listed Roman settlement. After a long day, we’ll arrive in the mesmerising city of Fes, marking the grand finale of our epic road trip!
Day 3
FES MEDINA
Today is all about Fes, the oldest and largest medieval city in the world! Our focus will be the Fes medina, a car-free zone where residents rely on donkeys and bikes. We hope you’ve packed your sense of adventure because we have plenty of palaces and mosques to explore today! (Non-Muslims aren’t allowed to enter the mosques in Morocco, but fear not – they look just as awesome from the outside). Plus, there’s still plenty of excitement to be had exploring the dye pits, tanneries, pharmacy, and pottery shops, not to mention the delicious Moroccan dishes we’ll discover along the way.
Day 4
SAHARA + CAMEL RIDE
Buckle up, because today we’re making the exhilarating journey to the mighty Sahara! We’ll break up the drive with an optional lunch stop, and if the weather’s sizzling, you can cool off with a relaxing swim. Then, it’s time to head to the great Erg Chebbi dunes in Merzouga, where we’ll hop on some camels and trek into the vast Sahara Desert – we bet you’ve never seen the sunset from the back of a camel before! Tonight, we’ll stay at an authentic Berber Camp on the desert’s edge, savouring delicious local food and grooving to traditional music under the stars. It doesn’t get better than this!
Day 5
TODRA GORGE
Join us for a special morning as we visit a local Berber family, known for their legendary hospitality. If you think you’ve tasted tea before, wait till you sip on some authentic Moroccan tea made by this family (it’s out of this world)! Afterwards, we’ll head to the Todra Gorge – Morocco’s answer to the Grand Canyon. Standing at a breathtaking 1000ft, this magnificent gorge is surrounded by towering limestone cliffs that’ll make you feel like you’re in a dream. We’ll then continue to Skoura for a well-earned rest at our boutique hotel.
Day 6
AIT BENHADDOU + OUARZAZATE
This morning we’ll head to an incredible women’s cooperative on the edge of the Dadès Valley. This 40-strong team of hardworking women, most of whom are widows, grow their own crops and transform them into baked goods that will make your tastebuds dance. As we journey to Ait Benhaddou, we’ll stop for lunch in Ouarzazate. Feeling daring? There’s the option to try quad biking! When arriving at Ait Benhaddou, a local guide will meet us to show off the best bits of this UNESCO World Heritage site full of Kasbahs. After a jam-packed day, we’ll move on to Marrakech.
Day 7
STREET FOOD OF MARRAKECH
It’s time to explore the magical city of Marrakech! We’ll get to know the city with a thrilling city tour including the Koutoubia Tower, the jewel of Marrakech, and some of the best viewpoints, where you’ll see the Atlas Mountains! No trip to this incredible city would be complete without a visit to the UNESCO-listed medina & Djemâa-el-Fna – a bustling marketplace like no other. As the afternoon rolls around, you’ll have some free time to relax poolside or snap up a few souvenirs before we dive mouth-first into Marrakech’s thriving street food scene on the ultimate food tour!
Day 8
FREE DAY!
Today is totally free for you to spend however you’d like! If you want to get away from the craziness of Marrakech without leaving the city, the Majorelle botanical garden is a lush oasis. Or, if you really feel like kicking back, why not visit a hammam before spending the afternoon poolside, with a drink in hand? (it’s a tough job, but somebody has to do it)! If you’re eager to get out and about, we can arrange for you to hire a bike to explore the city in style! Tonight’s our farewell dinner, so let’s devour some of the best food in Marrakech together to round off our incredible adventure!
Day 9
UNTIL NEXT TIME
After one last group breakfast your epic Moroccan adventure has come to an end. It’s time to say goodbye, for now, to your new group of friends as you reminisce about riding camels through the desert, camping under the stars, and drinking far too much mint tea! One thing is certain – you’ll leave with memories that will last a lifetime. See you next time!

What Our Guests Say
“Head and Shoulders Above the Rest”
Having been on numerous group holidays with more than 5 different companies, my standards are high and I can honestly say that Other Way Round is head and shoulders above all of them.
“Not Mass Produced or Touristy”
What I loved about this trip was that it didn’t feel mass produced and touristy. There was a sense of originality to it and uniqueness about the trip and the itinerary.
“Completely Hassle Free”
I usually travel DIY, where I arrange and book everything myself, and it was such a welcome change to have all that time and stress of booking the different elements of the trip taken away from me.
“Trip of a Lifetime”
I will never forget this trip. Not only because of the country itself, but because of the experience that Other Way Round gave me and the other group members. It was a trip of a lifetime and you will be missing out if you don’t just book it!
