Itinerary

Day	Destination	Description
Day 1	Casablanca	Wander amid faded French architecture and enjoy the colour and chaos of the souqs in this romantic city.
Day 2	Meknes	Take a stroll through Rabat's serene Old Quarter en route to Meknes, capital of Morocco's last golden age and site of Sultan Moulay Ismail's version of Versailles.
Days 3-4	Fes	Travel back to the days of the Roman Empire on a guided tour at the ruins of Volubilis. In medieval Fes, wander the labyrinthine alleys of the medina and listen to the call to prayer overlooking the Old Town at sunset.
Day 5	Midelt	Journey through the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas to the town of Midelt to learn about farming life in the area. Along the way, visit a handicraft workshop run by Franciscan nuns - a great place to pick up a souvenir.
Day 6	The Sahara	After a camel ride into the desert, feast by an open fire in the company of locals. Fall asleep tonight in this desert camp, surrounded by a shifting sea of sand dunes.
Days 7-8	Todra Gorge	Wake early and watch the sunrise over the desert before heading to massive Todra Gorge. For the energetic, there is the option of trekking into the gorge the next day, for spectacular views and boundless photo opportunities. Otherwise, take a walk through the pretty palmeraies or just chill out with a glass of mint tea.
Day 9	Ait Benhaddou	Pass through Morocco's film capital, Ouarzazate, on the way to the ancient fortified city of Ait Benhaddou. Explore the streets of this clay kasbah at a relaxed pace, and finish off the day with a meal of the best couscous in the country.
Day 10	Imlil	Perched on a rocky outcrop, remote Armed near the village of Imlil offers panoramic views as well as a chance to experience traditional Berber culture.
Days 11-12	Essaouira	With its whitewashed houses and colourful fishing boats, Essaouira is a gem. Get acquainted with the town's fascinating history on a guided walking tour, then there's free time to wander along the beach and dine on fresh seafood.
Days 13-15	Marrakesh	Let your senses guide the way through the tantalising spice market and dine al fresco at a foodstall in Djemaa el-Fna, or escape the buzz of the city in the shaded rooms of the Palais de la Bahia, a superb example of Muslim architecture.
