Connect with growers, traditions and regions as you celebrate gastronomic heritage across this 11-day trip.
With your arrival in Casablanca, your journey into the depths of Moroccan culture and cuisine begins.
And there’s no better place to witness the scale of local hospitality than at the Hassan II Mosque, paired with its architectural grandeur. This monumental space can accommodate over 100,000 worshippers between the inner prayer halls and the surrounding esplanade.
Family, community and faith are inseparable. The daily prayer rhythms shape when families shop, cook or gather.
As your experience unfolds, discover how every glass of mint tea is an act of welcome and the communal bakery is a social hub for bonding.
Today, you’re road tripping to Fez along a fertile region of olive groves and the Roman city of Volubilis, the country’s best-preserved archaeological site. What stops you here are the stunning mosaics, right where the Romans laid them.
Next up, the holy town of Moulay Idriss and pilgrimage site. Enjoy its picturesque setting in a mountain cradle and look out for the circular minaret. Then traverse Meknes, the smallest imperial city.
And what better way to toast the past than with a glass of local wine at a pioneering estate.
You’ll taste the legacy of Volubilis in every sip, as the winemakers here draw on viticultural techniques passed down from the Romans and the Amazigh.
Wake up in your charming riad in the heart of Fez, where your suite is likely bathed in lush garden ambience.
Head out to explore some of the 9,900-plus streets of the medina (walled city) and be engulfed by this bewildering labyrinth of narrow cobblestone alleys and the fizzy atmosphere held within the thousand-year-old ramparts.
The energy builds into a sensory rush as you marvel at artisans who weave glorious textiles on hand-built looms and tint wool in the dyers’ souks.
And it continues — tanners, slipper makers, brocaders, embroiderers, potters, woodcarvers and copper beaters. Each welcomes you into workshops that line the alleys, where artisanry is a livelihood and an inherited identity.
Long considered the cradle of the country’s culinary soul, the Fez medina invites you to taste your way through the labyrinthine souks, guided by a local gastronomic expert.
Along the way, hear how food reveals Morocco’s story through time-honored dishes.
Sample smoky meats, breads, ten different types of honey, smell spices, drink tea with mint or sheba, some pastries on the side and possibly try camel’s milk.
Next, experience the hammam like a local. You’ll discover it’s more than a steam bath. For generations, this has been a sanctuary for women — not only to shed clothing, but also the weight of societal expectations. Hear collective laughter and unfiltered gossip.
The Fez’s medina truly is a feast for the senses, but after a day of weaving through its 9,900 cobbled alleys, even as the most devoted food lover, you might crave a gentler pace.
That’s where our delicious detour comes in.
We call it culinary storytelling. Hosted in the spacious comfort of a private home just outside the medina. Multiple saloons, no foot traffic and all the flavor.
And just like you would in the souks, you’ll sample an array of breads, olives, ten varieties of honey and even taste pastilla dough before it hits the oven. There’s tea, of course. And maybe a surprise or two.
Cushions to sink into and flavors that unfold slowly, because sometimes the best way to taste a culture is by sitting still.
One of the best ways to explore Morocco’s food culture is to understand its culinary identity.
Get insight into troglodyte living (cave dwellings) in Bhalil and follow the roots of a time-honored dish.
Step onto the family farm, where the host guides you through what’s in season. You might gather onions, garlic, zucchini, parsley and potatoes — ingredients that will come together in that tagine, slow-cooked over embers.
Then, head into the family’s cave home, a naturally cool retreat, and sit together at a table laden with a local feast that tells the story from farm to cave.
After lunch, continue to nearby Sefrou and meet Amina Yabis, founder of the Cherry Button Cooperative.
This entrepreneur and now world-renowned artist launched the grassroots enterprise, with support from the United States Peace Corps, and brings together local women to enter the cash economy and break out of traditional societal roles.
She teaches the art behind the intricate hand-knotted buttons used on traditional djellabas (loose-fitting robe).
You’ll visit her workshop, then head to her home, where your day culminates in hands-on couscous-rolling that completes the story of two enduring Amazigh dishes.
It’s time to change up your locale for deeper immersion in Morocco’s flavors and vistas.
You’re off to the Agafay Desert. Here, lunar-like plateaus and rugged elevations stretch, with the High Atlas rising beyond, setting up a dramatic stage for your luxe overnight glamping experience.
As golden hour drifts into the orange-purple hues of sunset, follow a nomadic herder’s route on camelback to take in the profound tranquility.
Afterward, revel in traditional flavors for dinner, accompanied by Gnaoua music and the primeval attraction of dancing flames. Happy and full, retreat to your bivouac (oriental-inspired tent) and close off the night under a sky strewn with stars.
Start with a hot air balloon flight for a fresh angle of the Agafay Desert.
After travel into the Atlas Mountains, where your day unfolds at the home of a remarkable Amazigh woman. Step into her rhythm of life — cultivating crops at altitude or baking daily bread in a wood-fired clay dome oven.
Here, bread is the centerpiece of every meal. You may find yourself kneading and kneading until the dough is no longer sticky. But then comes the reward. Tear off a warm piece and pair it with olives, argan and olive oils, a touch of salty butter, perhaps even walnuts.
Later, take part in the preparation of a mint tea ceremony. A local custom to aid digestion and calm the mind.
Let the Jemaa el-Fna square draw you in with its smoky theater of life. The haze emanating from furiously grilled kebabs, alongside snake charmers and storytellers working their trade.
If your appetite’s been stirred, sample from the sizzling stalls or sip a glass of atay b’nana (fresh mint tea) poured from a practiced height to produce good froth.
Beyond the frenzy of the square, the Red City reveals its layered richness. From the majestic gardens at the Koutoubia Mosque and El Bahia Palace, to the refined interiors of Dar El Bacha.
Later, saunter to the museum of design legend Yves Saint Laurent and the adjoining cobalt tranquility of the Majorelle Gardens.
Begin at Bab Agnaou, once the gateway for Amazigh merchants bringing fresh produce into the city. From there, slip behind the scenes of Jemaa el-Fna, where Marrakshi eat and shop.
Next, a stop at a farran (communal oven) to see how Tangia — Marrakesh’s signature dish — is slow-cooked over embers.
Pause at a butcher’s stall known for the quality of his meats and his charisma. In the nearby Jewish quarter, taste local olives and catch the scent of fresh eucalyptus, while uncovering the subtle art of blending Moroccan spices.
Crown the experience with fresh mint tea at the oil and spice market, brewed from the fragrant flavorings you picked up along the way.
Picture yourself with your hair flying as you head out for a morning of sidecar fun and a little speed in the red-hued city and its outskirts.
Start with the modern flair in the 1920s French Gueliz neighborhood. Afterward, ride to La Palmeraie, a palm oasis north of town known as the city’s green lung, home to over 100,000 trees. Ask your guide to share the legendary story of how the Sultan’s soldiers spat date pits.
And don’t miss lunch at the Amal Gueliz Restaurant. This fabulous nonprofit training center helps disadvantaged women break the cycle of poverty through shelter, coaching and culinary training.
Enjoy a meal that nourishes hope — one dish at a time.
From your arrival in Casablanca to time-traveling through ancient Roman sites, then into the world’s largest cultural labyrinth in Fez. You explored food culture from farm to cave and the secret behind couscous rolling. Glamped in the Agafay Desert, slowed your pace with Amazigh, later spiced your senses in Marrakesh and wrapped it up with a plate of purpose at Amal.
