This journey allows you to explore Spain before venturing into northern Morocco, tracing centuries of shared history across Andalusia, the Rif Mountains and Morocco’s imperial cities.
From Seville and Granada to Fes and Marrakech, it is a route shaped by Islamic architecture, evolving cultures and living traditions.
Private guides, overland travel and curated cultural encounters allow you to experience each destination with depth and context, balancing landmark sites with quieter moments that reveal how life is lived today on both sides of the Mediterranean.
Begin in Seville, Andalusia’s historic capital. After arrival, settle in and take time to absorb the city’s relaxed pace.
Your first full day focuses on Seville’s most significant landmarks. Explore the atmospheric Barrio de Santa Cruz before visiting the Royal Alcázar, a UNESCO-listed palace complex shaped by Moorish and Christian rule. Continue to Seville Cathedral, the largest Gothic cathedral in the world, built on the site of a former mosque and crowned by the Giralda bell tower.
In the evening, experience flamenco in a traditional setting – an essential expression of Andalusian culture, combining music, movement and emotion.
Travel east to Granada, set beneath the Sierra Nevada mountains. Begin with a guided walk through the Albaicín, the city’s former Moorish quarter, where narrow streets and elevated viewpoints offer staggering views across to the Alhambra.
The following day is dedicated to a private visit of the Alhambra Palace. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of Europe’s most extraordinary architectural achievements, with refined Nasrid palaces, intricate stonework and the peaceful Generalife gardens. The visit offers insight into the final centuries of Islamic rule in Spain.
Depart southern Spain and cross the Strait of Gibraltar to Tangier. On arrival in Morocco, transition into a new cultural landscape where European and North African influences meet along the coast.
Travel inland through the Rif Mountains, stopping in Chefchaouen. Known for its blue-washed streets and relaxed pace, this mountain town offers a gentle introduction to northern Morocco before continuing on to Fes.
Spend two days exploring Fes, Morocco’s spiritual and intellectual heart. With a private guide, navigate Fes el Bali, the world’s largest living medieval medina and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Discover historic madrasas, mosques, artisan workshops and traditional tanneries, alongside the Karaouine University, one of the oldest centres of learning in the world.
A second day ventures beyond the city to explore the Roman ruins of Volubilis and the imperial city of Meknes, offering further perspective on Morocco’s layered history.
Travel south through the Middle Atlas Mountains, passing rural villages and changing landscapes en route to Marrakech. This is a long but scenic journey, offering insight into Morocco beyond its cities.
Explore Marrakech with a private guide, beginning with key historic sites including the Koutoubia Mosque, Bahia Palace and Saadian Tombs. Wander the souks, where craftsmen continue traditions passed down through generations, and experience the city’s daily rhythm up close.
One day is spent outside the city in the High Atlas Mountains, visiting Berber villages and enjoying lunch in a dramatic mountain setting before returning to Marrakech.
Travel to Casablanca for your onward journey home, bringing your exploration of Spain and Morocco to a close.
Experience the Alhambra on a private tour with expert guiding and skip the line access to the Nasrid Palaces, Alcazaba and Generalife gardens. A calm, tailored way to explore Granada’s most celebrated landmark.
Each evening the Mezquita-Catedral in Córdoba opens to a small group for El Alma de Córdoba, an after-hours experience that reveals the mosque-cathedral through light, sound, and rare quiet. Do Not Disturb arranges access.
A private cellar dinner on a historic Mallorcan estate, with a dedicated chef, estate wines, and a table reserved exclusively for your group. Do Not Disturb arranges access to the island's finest vineyard dining experiences.
