Short Description
This is an escorted tour. It’s perfect if you prefer not to do your own driving and want to see as many sights as you can during your vacation.
GOOD NEWS - The local tour operator will no longer require a COVID-19 vaccination for travelers as of March 1, 2023. For travelers departing before March 1, the tour operator requires that travelers aged 12 and older provide proof of full COVID-19 vaccination in the form of written documentation (paper or electronic copy), in English, for all vacations. Proof of vaccination must be completed at least 14 days prior to the tour start date. *Exceptions apply to children who do not qualify for vaccination.
Imagine yourself in Morocco, where the buildings are molded in shapes you've only seen in dreams, and markets are overflowing with fresh foods slathered in spices and fabrics in the most vibrant of colors.
You'll start and end your adventure in the iconic city of Casablanca, where its days inspired by French glamour can still be felt. Throughout your journey you'll visit historical sights, religious grounds, vibrant cities, and maze-like souks where one can spend the whole day getting lost in the beauty and size.
Enjoy guided tours, both on foot and by car, and luxurious transportation from destination to destination, so you can look out the window and soak in that stunning North-African terrain.

Day 4 Fez - Ifrane - Erfoud
Travel today into the very heart of Morocco. Stop in the quiet, French-built alpine mountain resort of Ifrane. Verdant cedar forests give way to volcanic mountains and wind-swept plains as you motor across the Middle Atlas range. You'll pass fortified mud-and-straw villages and descend into the spectacular Ziz Gorges. Experience diverse landscapes as you make your way by car through a stony desert before approaching Erfoud, where you'll encounter the peaceful oasis of the Ziz Valley.

You'll pass through picturesque villages surrounded by craggy mountains as you make your way towards the 7,414 foot-high Tizi-n-Tichka Pass, the heart of the High Atlas Mountains.
