Itinerary

Day 1: Marrakesh

Arrival in Marrakech. Welcome to Morocco! We’ll transfer you to the hotel and, in the afternoon, you’ll enjoy a traditional horse-drawn carriage ride to the famous Jemaa el-Fnaa Square (included). Dinner will be included.

Today, we´ll explore one of the most fascinating places in the world, the city that gave Morocco its name. Our city tour will take us through its strong walls, the bustling Jemaa el-Fnaa square, the Medina, the Koutoubia Mosque, and the Bahia Palace (tickets included). Afterward, you´ll have free time for lunch (included) and to relax by the pool or in the hotel garden, or to shop in the souks. In the evening, you can join the Fantasy Party, an optional excursion offered by Europamundo.

We’ll set out to cross the Atlas Mountains, where lofty peaks often covered in snow bid us farewell as we leave the palm groves of Marrakech. You’ll see small Berber villages clinging to the edges of deep gorges. Our journey includes a stop at the fortified village of Ait Benhaddou, renowned for its appearances in numerous movies. As we travel through landscapes reminiscent of biblical scenes, we´ll pause in Ouarzazate, known for its impressive Kasbah. Continuing through the Valley of Roses, we´ll reach Boumalne Dades where dinner will be included.

Note: Occasionally in winter, roads may close due to snowdrifts. If necessary, this part of the itinerary will be rescheduled according to our alternative plan. (Access to the Sahara Desert depends on road conditions).

Embark on an exhilarating journey through the Sahara Desert: traverse the Valley of the Kasbahs, river valleys surrounded by thousands of palm trees, rocky plains merging into lush oases and adobe villages, and formidable fortresses guarding ancient thoroughfares. Our visit includes the awe-inspiring Todgha Gorge, a majestic canyon with towering walls rising more than 100 meters on both sides. En route, we´ll stop at a small adobe town near Khorbat, where you can learn about the desert community supported by the Europamundo Foundation (access may be affected by weather conditions such as river flooding). We’ll proceed towards Erfoud. For those interested, an off-road excursion to the Sahara Desert sand dunes offers a breathtaking sunset experience. Lunch will be included.

We’ll depart early from Erfoud, crossing the Atlas Mountains once again through dramatic gorges and breathtaking landscapes. We’ll then traverse a high, chilly plateau inhabited by nomadic shepherds. Our journey includes a brief stop in Midelt, a commercial town in the heart of the region, known primarily for its agriculture. We’ll continue our route with a stop for lunch (included) in the Middle Atlas, by a lake in a beautiful natural setting. The scenery will change dramatically as we enter a region rich in forests, where snow is common in winter. Near Azrou, we’ll visit the ¨House of Cedars¨ in a national park—a small museum that provides insight into the region. Here, we’ll also have the chance to observe the lively colonies of monkeys that inhabit the area. Our journey will then take us to Bhalil, a small and peaceful town inhabited by Berbers of the Middle Atlas, known for its picturesque old town with colorful streets. Traditionally, people lived in caves here, which are now integrated into the houses. We’ll continue to Fez, where, before heading to our hotel, we’ll admire views of the ancient city from the Marinid Tombs. Dinner will be included.

We’ll go on a tour of Fez, entering through the Bronze Gates of the Royal Palace and exploring the Jewish quarter, its lively souks, and the Tanners´ Quarter. The cultural capital of the country is renowned for its impressive Medina, which preserves the traditional Arab atmosphere like no other. We’ll conclude our visit with an included lunch at a historic palace in the Medina.

In the afternoon, we’ll journey north through Morocco on a modern highway, reaching Tangier by evening. Dinner will be included.

Free time in Tangier – do you feel like doing some last-minute shopping? We’ll take a ferry back to Spain. The bus will not be on board, so each passenger must take their luggage on the ferry. We’ll arrive in Algeciras or Tarifa and continue to Seville. We´ll arrive in the evening and dinner will be included.

In the morning, we´ll embark on a city tour of Seville, where you´ll see the cathedral with its famous Giralda, the banks of the Guadalquivir River, and the popular neighborhoods of Santa Cruz and Triana. After the tour, enjoy a relaxing boat ride on the Guadalquivir River offering stunning panoramic views (included). In the evening, you´ll have the option to attend a popular flamenco tablao.

We’ll leave Seville, following the Guadalquivir Valley to Córdoba, famous for its past as the capital of the Caliphate of Córdoba in Islamic times. With a local guide, we’ll enjoy a visit to the stunning Mosque–Cathedral (tickets included). We’ll also explore the charming Jewish Quarter, known for its narrow streets and flower-filled patios—true symbols of the city. After lunch, we’ll leave for Castilian lands. We’ll make a stop in Consuegra, where 12 giant windmills next to the castle overlook the La Mancha plain. We’ll visit the Rucio Mill and head to Madrid at the end of the day.

After breakfast, our journey will come to an end, leaving you with wonderful lasting memories.
