Day 02

Casablanca, Meknes, Moulay Idriss, and Volubilis to Fes

We start today with a tour of Casablanca, Morocco's economic capital. We'll visit the Central Market, the exterior of the Royal Palace, the Habous district, Mohamed V Square, the Anfa residential area, and the exterior of the impressive Hassan II Mosque on the seafront. After leaving Casablanca, we drive to the Berber town of Meknes. Formerly the capital of Morocco during the reign of Moulay Ismail, he transformed the town by constructing intricate gateways, beautiful gardens, and the longest ramparts in the country, stretching 40 km. We'll see the Bab Mansour Gate, the Royal Stables, and the Jewish Quarter. Our next stop is a panoramic view of the holy city of Moulay Idriss on our way to the ancient Roman city of Volubilis. Recently listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and dating back to AD 40, Volubilis is home to some of the most impressive Roman ruins in North Africa. We finish the day by driving on to the medieval city of Fes.

Day 03

Historic Fes City Tour

With over 1,200 years of history, Fes is a labyrinth of souks, mosques, and spice-filled streets. We delve into the fascinating history of the city with a full tour encompassing the outside of the Moulay Idriss Mausoleum and Karouine Mosque, the Royal Palace, the Nejjarine Fountain, and the Attarine or Bou Anania Medersa. After lunch, we'll explore the vibrant alleyways of Fes's medieval medina, home to tanneries, dye pits, leather and carpet shops, craft alleys, tiny mosques, and local restaurants.

Day 04

Rabat Tour and Drive to Marrakech

We'll leave Fes behind with reluctance today and drive to the Imperial City of Rabat, Morocco's administrative capital on the Atlantic coast. Our tour here will include the Royal Palace (Mechouar), the Mohamed V Mausoleum, Hassan Tower Mosque, and the Oudayas Garden and Kasbah. After an optional seafood lunch (full-board package), we'll continue on the highway to Marrakech.

Day 05

Full-Day Marrakech City Tour

We'll spend the whole day today exploring the exotic city of Marrakech, Morocco's second oldest Imperial City, also known as the "Ochre City." Our tour will include the iconic Koutoubia Mosque, home to the minaret that has become a symbol of the city, the Menara Garden, Saadian Tombs, the Dar Si Said Museum, and the Bahia Palace. After lunch at the hotel, we'll explore the bustling souks and handicraft quarters before the tour finishes at the famous Djemaa El Fna square. It's well worth dining near the square or returning later in the evening, as it truly comes to life at night, packed with street food stalls, musicians, and entertainers - one of Morocco's highlights.
