Day by day
A working draft: the order and pace are ours to adjust once we know what matters most to you.
Fez to Rabat
A morning drive west across the Sais plain, with the afternoon free for the whitewashed Kasbah of the Udayas: founded in 1146 as an Almohad military base, and the storks nesting in the ruined Chellah necropolis.
About 3 hours on the road, roughly 200 km
Riad, Rabat
Rabat to Casablanca
A short drive down the coast, with the Hassan II Mosque in the afternoon. Its 210-metre minaret is the world's second-tallest, and the prayer hall can hold 25,000 worshippers.
About 1 hour on the road, roughly 90 km

4-Day Sahara Desert Tour from Fez
The most direct route to Erg Chebbi and back, for travellers based in Fez with four days rather than a week. The Middle Atlas cedar forests and Ziz Valley palmeries do a lot of the scenic work on the way down.
4-Day Imperial Cities Tour from Fez
The shortest way to see three imperial cities and the best Roman ruins in the country, without touching the desert or the coast further south: a good add-on to a Fez-based trip rather than a trip on its own.
4-Day Middle Atlas Tour from Fez: Ifrane and Azrou
A short trip into the cedar forests and mountain air of the Middle Atlas: Ifrane's alpine-style streets, Barbary macaques near Azrou, and a slower pace than the medina, an hour and a half from Fez.
