Day by day

Itinerary

  1. 1

    Casablanca (Morocco)

    Once an old pirate lair on the Atlantic coast, the sophisticated city of Casablanca is where we’ll meet to begin our intoxicating journey through Morocco. Tonight, we’ll have the opportunity to get to know one another better over a delicious welcome meal at a local restaurant. 

  2. 2

    Casablanca - Rabat - Meknes

    After breakfast, we’ll hit the road to our first stop: Rabat, where we’ll see the marble Mausoleum of Mohammed V and the similarly spectacular Hassan Tower on a walking tour with a local guide. When we arrive in Meknes, the evening will be ours to explore at our leisure or relax back at our traditional accommodation.

  3. 3

    Meknes - Moulay Idriss and Volubilis - Chefchaouen

    This morning, we’ll enjoy a relaxed walking tour of this enchanting UNESCO World Heritage-listed city, winding up at the stunning Bab Mansour Gate. After, we’ll make tracks for the pretty whitewashed town of Moulay Idris, where we’ll savour a traditional couscous lunch. Next up is historic Volubilis, where a local guide will show us around the ruins of this once bustling Roman stronghold. We’ll then venture into the Rif Mountains to Chefchaouen, where we’ll spend the next two nights. 

  4. 4

    Chefchaouen

    Today, you’ll have an entire day to soak up this breathtaking city’s many delights. Chefchaouen is famed for its vibrant blue architecture, which we’ll get a closer look at on a guided walk around the city’s medina with a local guide. As well as soaking up its winding alleyways and cobbled plazas, we’ll pause to sample some creamy local goat’s cheese. The afternoon is then yours to explore further – shop for locally-made souvenirs or find a coffee shop to watch the world go by in. Tonight, we’ll reconvene for a delicious home-cooked meal and a tea demonstration at a local restaurant.

  5. 5

    Chefchaouen - Fes

    Say goodbye to Chefchaouen as we continue our journey to Fes – a vibrant city that’s considered Morocco’s cultural and spiritual heart. Once we arrive, you’ll have the rest of the day to explore at your leisure. Enjoy some relaxation time at a local hammam (spa) or ask your Tour Leader for some personalised recommendations. Tonight, seek out a local eatery in Fes’ bustling medina before retiring for the night in a splendid local riad. 

  6. 6

    Fes

    First on the agenda today is a walking tour of Fes’ maze-like medina before we move on to a Moroccan must-see: a leather tannery. We will also visit a workshop that specialises in creating a range of local artisanal products, before having another free afternoon to explore Fes at our own pace. We recommend returning to the car-free medina and exploring the many colourful storefronts and medieval streets bursting with exotic food stands.

  7. 7

    Fes - Midelt - Erfoud

    Today, our path leads us out of the city and on a voyage through the striking, jagged landscapes of the Atlas Mountains, covering some distance as we go. We’ll pay a visit to Midelt; nestled in a valley, this golden-hued town offers breathtaking vistas of the surrounding peaks. Afterwards, our scenic journey continues towards the welcoming oasis town of Erfoud, where we’ll enjoy dinner as a group at our hotel. 

  8. 8

    Erfoud - Rissani - Merzouga

    Our first stop of the day will be Rissani, where we’ll be treated to a walking tour of this historic town, once the site of the renowned desert capital Sijilmasa. Afterwards, we’ll swap the mini-coach for four-wheel drives and venture into the spectacular Sahara Desert, where our camp just outside of Merzouga awaits. Tonight’s dinner will come in the traditional form of a Berber feast, complete with local entertainment.

  9. 9

    Merzouga - Todra Gorge - Skoura

    Rise early this morning to catch the mesmerising sunrise over the expanse of red dunes, before we set off on a day’s travel. First, we’ll make the picturesque journey to the dramatic Todra Gorge. After taking some time to explore the gorge at our own pace, we’ll make our way to our hotel in splendid Skoura – the so-called ‘Oasis of 1000 Palms’ – for the night. It’s situated a short drive from the fortified village of Aït Benhaddou: a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

  10. 10

    Skoura

    Today, we’ll kick off with a gentle guided walk through a shady palm grove. Your Tour Leader will reveal fascinating facts about Morocco’s traditional date farming practices, and you’ll have the chance to savour a light picnic lunch amidst the palms. Then, we’ll travel back in time at Skoura’s Kasbah Armidil – a 17th-century fortress that’s been turned into a living museum. Tonight, we’ll share stories of the day over an included group dinner at our hotel.

  11. 11

    Skoura - Ait Benhaddou - Marrakech

    We’ll leave Skoura behind and travel onwards to Aït Benhaddou, where we’ll learn how to make the perfect tagine at a riverside teahouse run by the Tawesna Association – an all-women co-operative. After getting lost in Aït Benhaddou’s Kasbah with a local guide, we’ll move onwards to Marrakech via the awe-inspiring Tizi n’Tichka mountain pass.

  12. 12

    Marrakech

    Before we say our final goodbyes, we’ll enjoy a sightseeing tour of the ‘Red City’ – where we’ll have the chance to view the incredible Bahia Palace. Tonight, we’ll come together to toast the end of our adventure with a farewell dinner at a local restaurant. What an incredible journey we’ve had! 

  13. 13

    Marrakech

    After one final breakfast together at the hotel, the tour concludes

Travel at 60 Social Getaways

Travel further when you're not travelling alone

Our Social Getaways are small-group holidays designed especially for over-60s Australians who want the freedom of a great trip without the work of planning every detail. A Travel at 60 host travels with the group, the operator handles the logistics, and you get to focus on the bit that matters — the people, the places, and the stories you'll bring home.

Open to solo travellers too. Many of our travellers book on their own and find their feet quickly in a friendly group of like-minded Australians. Reduced single-supplement options are available on most departures — ask one of our consultants and we'll talk you through what's offered on this trip.

  • A friendly Travel at 60 host — an Australian face on the ground, looking out for the group from day one.
  • Curated local guides & boutique suppliers — the same operators we'd book for our own families.
  • Real itineraries, not whirlwind tours — comfortable transfers, breathing room, and the “off the beaten track” stops the big bus tours skip.

Want to talk it through? Call 1300 414 198 7 days a week, Queensland time, and one of our consultants will walk you through it.
