1 Arrive Granada, Spain

Arrive in Granada and settle in to your hotel, where tonight you enjoy drinks, followed by a welcome dinner.

Set at the foot of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Granada was the last bastion of Moorish Spain, remnants of which survive in the magnificent local architecture. Discover the Alhambra, a medieval Muslim palace and UNESCO World Heritage Site, led by a top local guide. See the delicate beauty of the Nazaries Palace, the Court of Myrtles and the intricately decorated Court of the Lions. Then, stroll the gardens of the Generalife, a palace from the days of Granada’s last Arab kings.

Board your private chartered flight to Morocco, landing in Fez. One of Morocco’s imperial cities, Fez offers an intoxicating barrage for the senses. Check in to your hotel, a refurbished former palace, where you stay for lunch. This afternoon, explore Fez el-Jedid (modern Fez). See the Royal Palace, madrasas (school mosques), city wall and mellah (Jewish quarter). Tonight at your hotel, attend a cocktail reception and dinner, joined by a guest speaker who reveals fascinating aspects of Moroccan culture.

Drive out to explore the Roman ruins of Volubilis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site brimming with iconic architecture and mosaics depicting mythical scenes. Proceed to a local winery outside of Meknes for a chef-led culinary experience at a restaurant set among sun-bathed vineyards and olive groves. Sample wine produced here and a gourmet meal made from local organic ingredients.

Explore Fez el-Bali (Old Fez), the cultural heart of Morocco. Stroll the labyrinthine old quarter, with its 9,000 narrow lanes, alleys and lively souks. View the 14th-century Karaouine — one of the world’s oldest universities — and visit Nejjarine Square.

Fly to Er-Rachidia Moulay Ali Cherif, and then transfer overland, stopping for lunch, before rolling out into the Sahara Desert in a 4x4 vehicle amid towering red sand dunes. Change modes of transport, riding camelback to reach A&K’s Private Desert Camp. As the sun sets over the dunes, toast your desert sojourn with a refreshing cocktail. Later, relax to the sounds of authentic Moroccan entertainment beside a campfire before adjourning to a nearby tent for a dinner of regional dishes with wine. Slumber tonight in comfort, in the silent Sahara.

Fly by private charter to Marrakech — a garden-like city with a thousand-year history and a magical vibe that inspired a Crosby, Stills & Nash classic — saving hours of overland travel time. Once there, stop for lunch, and then marvel at a horse show featuring stunning Arabian stallions. Settle into your exquisite hotel — and your elegant pool villa. Tonight, gather for dinner at your hotel.

Visit the Jardin Majorelle, a picturesque garden created by French painter Jacques Majorelle and later restored by design legend Yves Saint Laurent. Tour the on-site Pierre Bergé Museum of Berber Arts and the Yves Saint Laurent Museum nearby, which reveals his vast portfolio. This afternoon, enjoy one of these Design Your Day activities.

After lunch, discover the meandering souks and colorful Djemaa el-Fna, Marrakech’s lively main square, where artists, street musicians and other performers entertain at every turn. Later, gather for a special dinner accompanied by a gnaoua band.

Fly to Seville, Spain, where you walk with your guide to the Royal Alcázar — a monumental palace — for a special after-hours visit. Finish with a dinner of Spanish tapas.

Explore the Seville Cathedral with a guide, and then visit the Casa de Salinas, where you meet a member of the family that owns this small, private 16th-century palace. This afternoon, privately visit Iglesia de Santa Maria La Blanca, with its impressive Baroque interior, for a special organ performance.

Venture by train to Córdoba, in Spain’s Andalusia region, for a walking tour of its whitewashed medieval streets. Stroll to its heart: the old Jewish quarter, part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Discover the magnificent Mezquita, viewing its 10th-century splendors, and continue to Medina Azahara, a major archaeological site, before returning to Seville. This evening, ride by horse-drawn carriage to a private reception and farewell dinner, followed by a performance of flamenco dancing and singing — a fitting coda to your amazing Moorish adventure.

After breakfast, take your private transfer to the airport for your departing flight.
