Day 1 Casablanca

Behold stunning art-deco architecture in a city originally modelled after Marseille. Make sure to visit the astounding Hassan II Mosque with its striking minaret - the highest in the world.

Day 2 Rabat/ Meknes

Stroll through Rabat's serene Kasbah des Oudaias 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 of the ruins of Volubilis. In medieval Fes, wander the narrow alleyways of the medina as the call to prayer floats over Fes el-Bali at dusk.

Day 5 Midelt

Journey through the cedar forests of the Middle Atlas to the town of Midelt, a peaceful rural area. Along the way, visit a handicraft workshop run by Franciscan nuns - a great place to pick up a souvenir.

Day 6 Sahara Desert Camp

After a camel ride into the desert, attempt a climb of the towering dunes. Later, fall asleep in a desert camp under a blanket of stars and to the soft beat of traditional Berber drumming.

Days 7-8 Todra Gorge

Wake early and watch the sunrise over the desert before heading to the impressive Todra Gorge. For the energetic, take the option of trekking into Nomad country for spectacular views and scenery. Explore the surrounding palmeraies or eat lunch with local ladies in a mud-brick kasbah.

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/ Aroumd

Perched on a rocky outcrop, remote Aroumd near the village of Imlil offers panoramic views and the chance to experience traditional Berber culture.

Days 11-12 Essaouira

With its Norfolk Island pines and colourful fishing boats, Essaouira is a gem. Get acquainted with the town's fascinating history on a guided walking tour, then enjoy free time to wander along the beach, visit art galleries or feast on fresh seafood.

Days 13-15 Marrakech

Explore 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.
