Morocco unfolds as a country of vivid colour and contrast, and this journey takes us through its grandest cities and landscapes. We begin in Casablanca, where the soaring Hassan II Mosque rises beside winding medina lanes, before we trace the footsteps of sultans to Rabat’s ancient kasbahs. In Fes, we’ll wander through a UNESCO-listed labyrinth of tanneries and artisan workshops, before dining in a traditional riad for a true taste of Moroccan hospitality. The road south takes us through the Atlas Mountains to the Sahara’s rose-gold dunes, where a stay at a desert kasbah hotel awaits. Along the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs, ancient fortresses rise like sandcastles from the earth, while Ait Benhadou’s towers provide a cinematic backdrop. Our adventure ends in Marrakech, where the Majorelle Gardens offer a tranquil escape before the colour and chaos of Djemaa El Fna Square, with its snake charmers, spice stalls and storytellers, sends us home with Morocco’s magic still in our thoughts.

After breakfast today, we'll enjoy a sightseeing tour of Casablanca, visiting the medina – that's the old walled town, with its crooked lanes and shady squares – and the magnificent Hassan II Mosque, which is the country's largest. We'll also see the vast United Nations Square and the art deco-inspired Mohammed V Square, the imposing Royal Palace, the bustling central market and the Habous quarter, with its quaint French colonial buildings.

This morning we'll head to the heart of the Atlas Mountains and see the Todgha Gorge, with its steep canyon walls towering up to 400 metres high. We then follow in the footsteps of the sultans as we travel along the famous Route of a Thousand Kasbahs, where the series of imposing ancient ruined fortresses almost resemble sandcastles in the distance.
Finally, we drive to the former Foreign Legion outpost of Ouarzazate, often known as 'Ouallywood' because of its starring role as the exotic backdrop in so many well-known movies. Here, you can visit Taourirt Kasbah, an ancient citadel with almost 300 rooms.

Our day begins as we visit the Ait Benhadou Kasbah, the most spectacular fortress in the south of Morocco. Used as a backdrop in films such as 'Lawrence of Arabia' and classified by UNESCO as one of the cultural treasures of the world, the buildings making up the Kasbah are studded with crenulated towers and decorated with ornate geometrical motifs – it's a sight not to be missed.
We will then make our way to Marrakech.
