Discover Morocco’s Legendary Imperial Cities

Morocco’s four Imperial cities are the heart of the nation’s history. On this VIP tour, you don’t just visit them—you truly experience them.

Casablanca – Your Elegant Gateway to Morocco

Your adventure begins in Casablanca, Morocco’s dynamic economic capital. Here, modern sophistication meets Atlantic charm. You’ll appreciate the city’s striking Art Deco architecture, palm‑lined boulevards, and cosmopolitan atmosphere.

You may choose to admire the majestic Hassan II Mosque from the outside, poised on the ocean’s edge, and stroll along the Corniche, where the sea breeze and refined cafés hint at Morocco’s contemporary lifestyle. Casablanca is the ideal, comfortable starting point for your deeper journey into the Imperial cities and Sahara.

Rabat – Refined Royal Capital

Next, your tour leads you to Rabat, Morocco’s elegant current capital. Here, wide avenues, manicured gardens, and serene historic monuments create a gentle introduction to Imperial Morocco.

You’ll discover atmospheric quarters such as the Kasbah of the Udayas with its blue‑and‑white lanes opening onto panoramic ocean views. In addition, you can appreciate the symbolic Hassan Tower and Mausoleum of Mohammed V, key landmarks of Morocco’s modern monarchy. Rabat’s calm, orderly charm offers a striking contrast to the more intense medinas yet to come.

Meknes – The Quietly Majestic Imperial City

As you continue, the VIP tour transitions to Meknes, often called the “Versailles of Morocco”. This Imperial city is known for its monumental gates, vast granaries, and impressive walls. While it is less visited than other cities, its authentic atmosphere and grand historic remains make it a hidden gem.

Here, you can explore ornate gateways such as Bab Mansour, walk through expansive squares, and sense the ambition of Sultan Moulay Ismail, who transformed Meknes into a royal showcase. This stop perfectly bridges the refined order of Rabat and the intensity of Fez.

Fez – Living Museum of Moroccan Tradition

The journey then deepens into Morocco’s cultural soul: Fez, the spiritual and intellectual capital. Many travellers consider Fez the highlight of their Imperial cities and Sahara experience.

The medina of Fez el‑Bali, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is one of the world’s largest car‑free urban areas—a labyrinth of narrow alleys, buzzing souks, and centuries‑old madrasas. Here, you can:

  • Encounter traditional artisans at work in leather tanneries, copper workshops, and carpentry ateliers.
  • Discover historic religious schools adorned with exquisite zellige tilework and carved cedar wood.
  • Immerse yourself in the rhythm of everyday life in a city that has preserved its authentic character for over a thousand years.

Thanks to expert guides and VIP services, you navigate the complexity of Fez with ease, enjoying insider access and curated recommendations.


From Atlas Mountains to Sahara Dunes

After exploring Morocco’s Imperial cities, the tour transitions to the natural splendor of the Sahara Desert, creating a powerful contrast between urban heritage and raw landscape.

Crossing the Middle Atlas

Leaving the urban world behind, you travel through the Middle Atlas Mountains, where cedar forests, high plateaus, and traditional Berber villages unfold outside your window. This part of the route is more than a simple transfer—it is a scenic journey that links the history of the Imperial cities with the timeless beauty of the Sahara.

Along the way, you witness changing landscapes, from lush valleys to semi‑arid zones, illustrating Morocco’s impressive geographic diversity.

Approaching the Sahara – Palmeraies and Oasis Towns

As you draw closer to the Sahara, the scenery changes again. Palm groves stretch along riverbeds, mud‑brick kasbahs rise from the earth, and desert towns welcome travellers with warm hospitality.

At this stage of your Imperial cities & Sahara tour, you begin to feel the unique atmosphere of the desert: vast horizons, crystal‑clear skies, and a deep sense of peace that contrasts with the bustling medinas of the north.

VIP Sahara Experience – Luxury Desert Camp

The highlight of the journey is your VIP Sahara desert experience. Here, you exchange city lights for starlit skies and hotel rooms for stylish tents.

Typically, your Sahara stay may include:

  • Camel ride across the golden dunes at sunset, when the light paints the sand in shifting shades of gold and red.
  • Luxury tented accommodation, equipped with comfortable beds, private facilities, and elegant Berber‑inspired décor.
  • Gourmet dinners under the stars, accompanied by traditional music and a cosy campfire.
  • Early‑morning walks on the dunes to witness sunrise over the desert sea of sand.

This portion of the tour offers a once‑in‑a‑lifetime combination of adventure and comfort, seamlessly integrated into your overall Imperial cities and Sahara itinerary.


Return via Scenic Routes and Historic Towns

After your time in the Sahara, the VIP tour leads you back across dramatic landscapes, ensuring that the return journey is as inspiring as the approach.

You may pass through:

  • Spectacular gorges and valleys, where steep rock walls and riverbeds create unforgettable vistas.
  • Mountain passes with panoramic viewpoints are ideal for photos.
  • Authentic rural communities that reveal another facet of Moroccan life.

Each stretch of the route is chosen to offer diversity and depth, so you are constantly discovering new perspectives on Morocco’s geography and culture.
