The dense hand is played without a single ordinary night: the Hassan II Mosque’s Murano chandeliers, Meknes’s stables built for 12,000 horses, Fes from a mansion in the medina’s heart with rooftop mint tea, flamingos at Dayet Srji before the camel trek, dawn over the 28-kilometre dune sea, the Road of 1,000 Kasbahs through Kalaat M’Gouna’s rose country, Aït Ben Haddou, and the Bahia’s silk-panelled harem to finish. Nine days, the whole imperial board, first class. Written quote, every property named, within the hour on WhatsApp.

Dense itineraries usually pay for their ambition in comfort; this one refuses the trade. The imperial circuit is complete — Bab el-Mansour, the 12,000-horse stables, the tanneries, the Bahia’s silk-panelled harem — yet every night closes somewhere with history of its own, and the desert interlude gets the full staging: flamingos on the salt lake, camels into the erg, fire-cooked dinner under the stars, dawn on the dunes.
Where it sits in our luxury range: the 8-day City to Desert is Marrakech-centred; the 10-day Royal adds Fes at a calmer pace; this 9-day VIP route is for travellers who want the whole imperial board played in one luxurious week and a half.

Itinerary
Open a day to see the detail: transport, accommodation, meals and activity time.
Day 1 Casablanca, in full
An early private arrival and a full guided day in the country's cosmopolitan economic capital, crowned by the Hassan II Mosque (1993): the world's tallest minaret at roughly 200 metres, a prayer hall of geometric zellige, marble pillars, cedar and Murano-glass chandeliers.
Day 2 To Fes via Rabat and Meknes
The imperial road east: Rabat first, then Meknes for Bab el-Mansour — the most prestigious gate in the kingdom — and Moulay Ismail's Heri es-Souani, granaries and stables engineered for twelve thousand horses. The night lands in a former notable's mansion in Fes.
Day 3 Fes, the best-preserved medieval city
A full-day private tour from your riad at the medina's centre: painted doors, the 12th-century tanneries and their colour-filled dye pits, leather artisans at work — and a rooftop mint tea with the whole medieval city at your feet.
Day 4 The Ziz Valley to Merzouga
Across the Middle Atlas — Jbel Bou Naceur rising to about 3,340 m — with a stop in Ifrane, the alpine university town where storks nest on the rooftops and the king winters. By afternoon, an opulent riad whose terrace stares straight into the desert.
Day 5 Flamingos, then the Sahara by camel
Dayet Srji salt lake first — flamingos and falcons at the desert's doorstep — then the camel trek into the erg with seasoned professionals. The evening is a luxury camp under the stars and a dinner cooked over traditional fire.
Day 6 Erg Chebbi at dawn, the Todra by noon
Sunrise colours the 28-kilometre dune sea — peaks to 160 metres — from a camel's privileged height. Back through Merzouga, the road threads the polished walls of the Todra Gorge into the Dades Valley for the night.
Day 7 The Road of 1,000 Kasbahs to Marrakech
West along the kasbah road to Kalaat M'gouna, Morocco's rose capital — some 4,200 km of rose hedges feed its creams and perfumes each spring — then Aït Ben Haddou, the greatest fortress in the country, before Marrakech by evening.
Day 8 The Red City, privately
A full guided day in Marrakech: Djemaa el Fna and the red-walled medina's carpets and storytellers, then the Bahia Palace — the most grandiose citadel of its century, with fountain courts, inlaid woodwork, a 150-room harem wing, silk panels and stained glass.
Day 9 Departure
Last moments in the historic mansion as the fountain and the waking medina trade sounds, then the private transfer to Menara airport.
Nine days, four imperial cities and the Sahara is a dense hand — this is the VIP way to play it: full-day private guides in the three great cities, historic mansions rather than hotels wherever the medinas allow, and the desert handled with the same polish (opulent riad one night, luxury camp the next, camels at dawn for Erg Chebbi's 28 km of dunes). Spring puts the Kalaat M'gouna roses in bloom along the kasbah road.

Questions travellers ask
How much does VIP Morocco Tour – 9 Days: Exploration in Luxury cost?+
From $11700 per person, per person. The price includes private luxury vehicle with english/french-speaking driver-guide — 9 days, pickup at casablanca mohammed v airport, drop-off at marrakech menara airport, night 1: five-star hotel in casablanca — half-board. You receive a written itemised quote before paying anything — no hidden fees.
How long is this tour and when does it depart?+
9 Days, departing on the dates you choose — there is no fixed schedule, because every departure is arranged for you alone.
Is this a group tour or private?+
Fully private: your own vehicle, driver and licensed guide, never seat-in-coach and never mixed with other travellers. The daily pace flexes around you.
What exactly happens in a hammam?+
Steam room, black-soap lather, a serious kessa-glove scrub by an attendant, rinse, and often a rhassoul clay or argan finish — 45 minutes to an hour, and you emerge polished. Spa hammams are private and bookable; neighbourhood hammams are cheap, sociable and bring-your-own-kit.
Is the hammam mixed or separated?+
Public hammams are strictly separated by sex (by room or by hours). Private spa hammams offer couples sessions — the honeymoon favourite — and single sessions with same-sex attendants on request.
What should I bring or wear?+
In a spa hammam everything is provided, with disposable underwear the norm. In a public one, bring underwear to wear, a towel, flip-flops and your own soap and glove — buying the kit at any corner shop is part of the fun.
What are Morocco's signature treatments?+
Argan-oil massages, rhassoul clay wraps (the mineral clay of the Fes region), rose-water everything from the Dades valley, and orange-blossom scents from the south. Our luxury and honeymoon routes weave them in at the right pauses.
