For two
Four nights of romance, one for each landscape
This route is built around the moments couples remember: sunset over the blue rooftops of Chefchaouen, dinner in the courtyard of a riad in Fes, a night in a private tent in the Sahara and a room in a kasbah above the Dades river.
Every night is somewhere different and every one is chosen for the room as much as the town. Your own guide and driver handle the road, the bags and the check-ins, so the only plan you need is the next view.
It ends in Marrakech, where many couples stay on for a few nights. Tell us the level you want and whether you would like surprises on the way, from flowers in the room to a private dinner in the dunes.
