From the Atlantic Across the Atlas and Sahara to the Rif


A Journey Through Morocco’s Many Worlds
Some journeys focus on a single region. This one brings the country’s great contrasts together in a single route: the Atlantic coast and Imperial Cities, the High Atlas and earthen architecture, oases and the Sahara, cedar forests and the Rif Mountains.
From the fortified port city of Essaouira, the journey continues to Marrakesh and across the High Atlas into the south. Aït Ben Haddou, the valleys of Dadès and Todra and the dunes of Erg Chebbi reveal a Morocco of earth, rock, oases and desert. Then the country changes once again: cedars grow in the Middle Atlas, Rabat brings together historic city and modern capital, Chefchaouen lies among the mountains of the Rif – and Fès provides the cultural finale with its centuries-old Medina.
A private Grand Tour for travellers who do not want to reduce Morocco to a single landscape or era, but experience its extraordinary diversity through one compelling journey.
The Grand Tour Through Morocco’s Diversity


The special value of this journey lies not only in its destinations, but above all in the transitions between them. Within a single route, you experience how architecture, vegetation, climate, cuisine and the rhythm of life change again and again – and how closely these contrasting regions remain connected. Individual stays, accommodation and experiences can all be tailored to you; however, the geography provides a natural framework for the journey.
Atlantic port, Imperial Cities, earthen fortresses, Sahara, cedar forests and the Rif – the destinations on this journey reveal not just one side of Morocco, but some of its most striking contrasts.

Destinations beyond the usual routes
On this Grand Tour, it is not only the landscape that changes, but also the way you stay. Riads within the Medinas, characterful kasbah hotels south of the Atlas, a stylish desert camp at Erg Chebbi, selected properties in the Middle Atlas and elegant city hotels in the north reflect the different regions. The exact selection and length of stay are tailored to your travel style, preferred level of comfort and individual itinerary.
The culinary diversity follows the geography. In Essaouira, fish and seafood shape the cuisine. Marrakesh combines traditional dishes with a modern Moroccan dining scene. South of the Atlas, dates, olives, vegetables, spices and freshly baked bread accompany the oasis and desert landscapes. In the Middle Atlas, the cuisine becomes heartier, while in the north, Andalusian influences become more pronounced. Fès is regarded as one of the country’s great culinary centres – a fitting setting for the final special evening of the Grand Tour.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Accommodation, length of stay and additional experiences are individually tailored to your preferences. However, the complete Grand Tour covers considerable distances, so the route requires a realistic timeframe.
For the complete route, we recommend at least twelve nights. Additional time is particularly worthwhile in Fès, Marrakesh, Essaouira or the Sahara.
T-014 is one of our most extensive touring journeys and includes several longer stages. However, the changing landscapes are a central part of the experience. You travel privately with a private chauffeur and can plan individual stops along the way.
September to May. The most balanced conditions for the complete route are generally from March to May and from September to early November. The journey combines the Atlantic coast, Sahara, Atlas and Rif – regions with significantly different climatic conditions.
Because it creates one of the journey’s most striking landscape contrasts while also connecting the Sahara with the north. After the dry desert landscapes, you experience highlands, forests and a considerably cooler climate.
No. We observe the animals from a distance and do not feed them. Scientific research from Ifrane National Park indicates that tourist feeding can negatively affect the health and behaviour of wild Barbary macaques.
No. The dromedary ride is optional. The dunes can also be explored on foot or as part of a private 4×4 desert tour.
Fès provides a powerful cultural finale after the route’s dramatic landscape changes. Its UNESCO-listed Medina is one of Morocco’s most important historic urban environments and deserves sufficient time to explore.
We individually determine the most suitable departure airport according to your travel dates and international flight connections.
Yes. Additional nights at any of the destinations, the addition of Meknès and Volubilis, or a longer stay on the Atlantic coast can all be individually incorporated.
