Ouarzazate has long captured the imagination of travelers, artists, and filmmakers alike. With its golden kasbahs, wide boulevards, and commanding desert scenery, it offers an ideal balance between authenticity and accessibility. It is a place where caravans once gathered before heading into the Sahara, and where modern explorers come to retrace ancient routes, find creative inspiration, or simply bask in the stillness of the desert wind.

Destinations, Merzouga

Merzouga

Overview Where the Dunes Whisper Ancient Secrets Nestled on the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes, Merzouga is not a town—it’s a threshold. A portal between the known and the wild. A place where the paved road ends, and the golden Sahara begins. For travelers in search of raw beauty, spiritual stillness, or cinematic adventure, Merzouga delivers an experience as vast and timeless as the desert itself. Often described as “the jewel of the Sahara,” Merzouga rises like a mirage from the southeastern plains of Morocco. The town itself is modest, but what surrounds it is extraordinary: sweeping orange sand dunes that shift with the wind, star-studded skies untouched by light pollution, and generations of nomadic wisdom passed down in woven tents and mint tea rituals. More than a place to “see,” Merzouga is a place to feel. The crunch of camel hooves in the sand. The hush of wind brushing the dunes. The glow of a sunrise spilling over endless golden hills. It’s a place to shed distraction and meet yourself in the silence. Hotspots & Experiences 1. Erg Chebbi Dunes The towering dunes of Erg Chebbi—some reaching up to 150 meters high—are Morocco’s most iconic slice of Sahara. Known for their brilliant colors that shift from honey-gold to deep amber throughout the day, these dunes are perfect for sunset camel rides, sandboarding, and dune bashing in 4x4s. Watching the sunrise from the top of a dune is a transformative experience. 2. Camel Trekking No visit to Merzouga is complete without a camel trek through the dunes. Whether you choose a short sunset ride or an overnight journey into the desert, this is more than a photo opportunity—it’s a cultural tradition and meditative rhythm. As you sway with the gait of the camel, the desert seems to slow down just for you. 3. Luxury Desert Camps Merzouga is home to some of the most refined glamping experiences in North Africa. Private tents with en-suite bathrooms, candlelit dinners under the stars, firelit Berber music, and personalized service combine to create a setting of tranquil opulence. Spend a night far from civilization without sacrificing comfort. 4. Gnaoua Village of Khamlia Step into the soulful rhythms of Khamlia, a village founded by descendants of Sub-Saharan slaves. Here, you’ll be welcomed with traditional Gnaoua music, trance-like drumming, and spiritual chanting that tells stories of freedom, migration, and resilience. It’s an emotional and sonic experience unlike any other. 5. Nomadic Encounters Beyond the dunes, you can visit authentic nomadic families who live seasonally in desert tents, herding goats and camels. Share tea, hear their stories, and witness a way of life that predates maps and clocks. These moments of human connection often become the most treasured parts of the journey.

Destinations, Fes

Fes

Overview Where History Breathes and Time Stands Still Fes is not a destination—it’s a living museum. An atmospheric maze of stone, soul, and secrets, it invites you to step out of the present and into more than a millennium of layered Moroccan identity. As the country’s oldest imperial city and longtime spiritual and intellectual heart, Fes isn’t just visited—it’s felt, deeply and irreversibly. Founded in the 8th century, Fes grew into a hub of trade, religion, philosophy, science, and artistry. Its famed medina, Fes el-Bali, is one of the largest car-free urban zones in the world—a UNESCO World Heritage Site that preserves the sensory density of medieval life: the scent of cedar and leather, the calls of craftsmen at work, and the gentle echoes of the muezzin at dawn. Unlike other Moroccan cities that lean into glamour or geography, Fes is about essence—a place that honors the craft of tradition, the sanctity of knowledge, and the pulse of authenticity. It’s where artisans still hand-dye leather in ancient tanneries, where students still study in the oldest university in the world, and where spiritual seekers find stillness in labyrinthine alleyways and hidden zawiyas (Sufi lodges). To visit Fes is to witness Morocco in its purest form—layered, learned, and luminous. Hotspots & Highlights 1. Fes el-Bali (The Old Medina) This is the heart and soul of Fes. A dense, intricate network of over 9,000 alleys, it’s a place where Google Maps gives up and instinct takes over. Expect to get gloriously lost as you stumble upon hidden mosques, artisan workshops, open-air markets, and centuries-old schools still echoing with prayer and poetry. The medina is a masterclass in Islamic urban design, where function follows faith, and beauty is everywhere—etched into doorframes, tiled into fountains, whispered in every curve of a horseshoe arch. 2. Al Quaraouiyine University Founded in 859 AD by Fatima al-Fihri, a visionary Muslim woman, this is the oldest existing degree-granting university in the world. Today, it remains a functioning institution of higher learning and a symbol of Morocco’s intellectual legacy. Though the main prayer hall is restricted to Muslims, the adjoining library and school structures (recently restored) are occasionally open to the public. 3. Chouara Tannery Fes’s iconic leather tanneries date back to the 11th century and remain one of the city’s most photogenic—and fragrant—attractions. From rooftop terraces of nearby leather shops, you can overlook the stone vats of natural dye and watch artisans at work using ancient methods. It’s a sensory plunge into Moroccan tradition you won’t forget. 4. Bou Inania Madrasa This 14th-century Quranic school is one of the few religious buildings in Morocco open to non-Muslims. It’s also one of the most architecturally stunning, with intricately carved cedarwood, zellige tilework, and calligraphy panels that rival anything in Andalusia. The peaceful central courtyard is a moment of calm amidst the medina’s chaos. 5. Mellah & Jewish Heritage Sites Fes once had a thriving Jewish community, and its Mellah (Jewish quarter) reflects that rich coexistence. Visit the Ibn Danan Synagogue, the Jewish cemetery, and the houses built with balconies overlooking the street—a stark contrast to the inward-facing Muslim homes in the medina. These corners of the city tell powerful stories of interwoven spiritual histories. At a glance Population Approx. 1.2 million Region Fès-Meknès Airport Fès-Saïss Airport (FEZ) Best Time to Visit All year round Scenes from a Dream Because Fes is the soul of Morocco—raw, refined, and richly spiritual. If Marrakesh dazzles with flair, Fes hums with depth. It’s for travelers who seek connection over convenience, substance over spectacle. It’s for those who want to sip mint tea on a riad terrace while the call to prayer rises like a hymn over 1,000 minarets. It’s for lovers of history, architecture, and sacred silence. Fes doesn’t cater to modernity—it coexists with it. You won’t find it embellished for tourists. What you will find is a city where the past is preserved not as performance, but as daily life. Tailor-made for the culturally curious and spiritually attuned, Fes invites you to engage—authentically, reverently, and wholeheartedly. It’s not always easy. The streets are tight, the energy intense, and the pace traditional. But those who embrace the rhythm of Fes discover something more than a city—they discover a mirror to Morocco’s heart.

Essaouira

Overview The Windy City of Art, Salt, and Soul Essaouira is not just a coastal city—it’s a mood. Windswept, poetic, and eternally bohemian, it stands apart from Morocco’s grand imperial cities and sun-baked deserts as a haven of sea air, salty stories, and creative spirit. With its whitewashed walls trimmed in vivid blue, cannons facing the Atlantic, and an old medina that moves at the pace of the tides, Essaouira offers a sense of freedom and ease that travelers instantly fall in love with. Formerly known as Mogador, Essaouira has long drawn a colorful crowd. From the Phoenicians and Portuguese to 20th-century rockstars and today’s digital nomads, the city has hosted merchants, mystics, musicians, and makers for centuries. It’s where Jimi Hendrix came to dream, where Gnaoua rhythms echo from ancient stone alleyways, and where artisans still handcraft cedarwood treasures and intricate marquetry in dusty workshops. And yet, for all its layered history, Essaouira is effortlessly modern. Boutique riads and eco-lodges whisper luxury behind unassuming doors. Oceanview cafés serve fresh oysters beside crisp Moroccan wines. Surfers, yogis, and culture connoisseurs mingle in a city that somehow manages to feel lived-in, untouched, and inspired—all at once. Essaouira invites you to slow down, to breathe, and to wander with wonder. It’s less about seeing everything and more about feeling it deeply. Hotspots & Highlights 1. The Medina (UNESCO World Heritage Site) Essaouira’s medina is unlike any other in Morocco—laid out in a European grid by 18th-century French architects under Sultan Mohammed ben Abdallah. It’s calm, clean, and compact, making it ideal for strolling. Here, you’ll find indie galleries, woodworkers, spice stalls, hammams, hidden riads, and musicians busking in the breeze. It’s a medina designed to be explored slowly, with your senses open and your pace unhurried. 2. The Port & Sqala du Port The beating heart of Essaouira is its bustling fishing port, where bright blue boats bob in rhythm with the tide and seagulls wheel overhead. Watch the catch of the day come in, then savor it grilled fresh at a portside stall. Nearby, the Sqala du Port, a 16th-century bastion of ramparts and cannons, offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic and the medina skyline. It’s history, sea spray, and cinema-worthy scenery all rolled into one (Game of Thrones fans might recognize the view). 3. Essaouira Beach Wide, wild, and wind-kissed, the golden stretch of Essaouira’s beach is perfect for windsurfing, kitesurfing, and soul-wandering. The wind is a constant companion, giving the city its nickname “City of the Wind.” Despite its rugged edge, the beach is a place of peace, where horseback riders trot at sunset and camels pause for photos on the sand. 4. Gnaoua Music & Cultural Scene Essaouira is the spiritual home of Gnaoua music, a trance-inducing blend of African rhythms, Arabic poetry, and ancestral storytelling. Every June, the Gnaoua World Music Festival brings global and local artists together for open-air concerts across the city. The energy is electric, the crowd diverse, and the vibe unmissable. Even outside the festival, the sound of krakebs (metal castanets) echoes through the streets and riads. The rhythm is part of the city’s heartbeat. 5. Art Galleries & Artisan Shops From contemporary art to centuries-old crafts, Essaouira is a sanctuary for creatives. Visit the Coopérative Artisanale des Marqueteurs to watch artisans at work with Thuya wood, or pop into Galerie d’Art Frederic Damgaard for a taste of Essaouira’s modern art scene. Ceramics, textiles, photography, and handmade leather goods are all thoughtfully curated in boutiques that blend tradition with innovation. At a glance Population Approx. 78,000 Region Marrakesh–Safi Airport Essaouira-Mogador Airport (ESU) Best Time to Visit All year round Scenes from a Dream Because Essaouira is what happens when culture, calm, and coastal beauty meet. It’s a place for the traveler who enjoys sipping mint tea on a rooftop terrace while gulls swirl above and the sound of Gnaoua drums floats up from below. It’s for those who want a break from the frenetic pace of city medinas but still crave charm, depth, and authenticity. Essaouira is both luxurious and laid-back. You can spend your day getting lost in artisan shops, relaxing in a hammam, taking a kitesurfing lesson, enjoying a seafood feast by the port, or simply doing nothing at all—and it will still feel like a journey well spent. Its accessibility from Marrakesh (approx. 2.5-hour drive) makes it the perfect coastal extension to your desert or city tour, offering a fresh breath of sea air after the sensory explosion of inland Morocco. In short, Essaouira is Morocco’s coastal exhale—a place to reset, reconnect, and remember that travel is as much about slowing down as it is about seeing more. Book a call now

This is where sun-drenched leisure meets curated luxury, and where Morocco opens its arms to those seeking rejuvenation, wellness, and coastal charm.

After centuries of growth and trade—particularly with Europe—Agadir was nearly erased by a powerful earthquake in 1960. In a remarkable act of national resilience, it was reborn.

Tangier has always stood apart—not just as a destination, but as a mood. Why Visit Tangier? Unlike any other city in Morocco, Tangier’s identity is shaped by decades of international influence. From its days as a diplomatic free zone to its vibrant present as a cultural hub, Tangier offers a rare combination of nostalgia and modernity. The pace is slower than Casablanca, more cosmopolitan than Chefchaouen, and wrapped in sea breeze and sophistication. It’s ideal for travelers seeking meaningful moments over tourist crowds, and for those drawn to places where poets, painters, and adventurers once wandered. Top Experiences in Tangier 1. The Kasbah Climb through the ancient stone gates of the Kasbah to discover sweeping views of the Strait of Gibraltar, intimate museums, and charming alleyways full of artisan shops and quiet cafés. This walled citadel is the heart of historic Tangier. 2. The Medina Bustling yet less overwhelming than in other Moroccan cities, Tangier’s Medina is a vibrant mix of local life, colorful stalls, and hidden riads. Lose yourself in its narrow streets, and you’ll find everything from handcrafted textiles to rooftop teahouses. 3. The American Legation Museum Housed in a 19th-century mansion, this museum is a symbol of Morocco’s long-standing diplomatic ties. It offers a fascinating glimpse into Tangier’s international history, along with a unique collection of art and photography. 4. Cap Spartel & Hercules Caves A short drive from the city reveals dramatic coastal cliffs, where the Atlantic and Mediterranean converge. Visit the legendary Caves of Hercules, tied to Greek mythology, and gaze from the Cap Spartel lighthouse—a perfect spot at sunset. 5. Tangier’s Cafés & Literary Past Sip mint tea where Paul Bowles, Tennessee Williams, and William S. Burroughs once wrote, in cafés that haven’t changed much since the 1950s.
