Overview

A golf holiday that ends among the dunes of the Sahara is rare anywhere in the world, and the 10 Days Golf Tour From Casablanca makes it the centrepiece of a journey across Morocco. Rounds on the Atlantic coast, at the royal Dar Es Salam course in Rabat, in the hills around Fes and among the cedars of Ifrane are woven together with the imperial cities of Meknes and Fes and the Roman ruins of Volubilis.

From the Middle Atlas, this Morocco golf and desert tour descends the Ziz Valley to a camel trek and a night in the dunes of Erg Chebbi, then follows Todra Gorge, the Dades Gorges, the Valley of Roses and Ait Ben Haddou over the High Atlas to Marrakech. One-way and private, it is the most complete golf tour from Casablanca to Marrakech.

Day 6

Fes ⇢ Ifrane Golf Session ⇢ Cedar Forest ⇢ Midelt

The road climbs into the Middle Atlas to Ifrane, where a golf session at around 1,600 m, among cedars and oaks, offers fresh mountain air. After a walk in the Azrou cedar forest, home to wild Barbary macaques, the road crosses the plateau to Midelt for the night.

Midelt ⇢ Ziz Valley ⇢ Merzouga ⇢ Desert Camp

The road south follows the dramatic Ziz Gorges and the palm-filled Ziz Valley to Merzouga. In the late afternoon, a camel caravan carries you into the dunes of Erg Chebbi for sunset, dinner, Berber drums and a night in a desert camp, the unforgettable heart of this Morocco golf and desert tour.

Day 8

Merzouga ⇢ Todra Gorge ⇢ Dades Gorges

After sunrise over the dunes, the road west leads to Todra Gorge, where limestone walls rise up to 300 m above a clear stream, and on to the Dades Gorges, with their red cliffs and hairpin road.

The Road of a Thousand Kasbahs leads through the Valley of Roses and the Skoura oasis to Ouarzazate, then to Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO-listed ksar of mud-brick towers, where you spend the night as the sun sets over the old caravan route.
