Following this, you'll have some free time for lunch before we continue our exploration of the city, including a visit to the impressive Cornish of Casablanca. We'll spend the night in a hotel.
Following breakfast, we will depart from Casablanca to explore the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis, which have been remarkably well-preserved and are designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You'll have the chance to see the beautiful mosaics, ancient pillars, and archways that are scattered throughout the ruins. After our exploration of the site, we will travel 30 km to the imperial city of Meknes, which was once the capital of the Ismaili dynasty. Here, we'll visit several notable landmarks, including Bab Al-Mansour, the Sahrij Souani basin, the Royal stables, the granary, and the Moulay Ismail Mausoleum. Our final destination for the day is Fes, where we'll spend the night in a traditional Riad.
Our focus for the day will be on exploring the most notable features of Fes city with the assistance of a local guide. As a cultural and religious hub of Morocco, Fes is also known as one of the country's imperial cities.
To begin, we'll visit the gate of the Royal Palace, followed by the medieval Medina which has been incredibly well-preserved and is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You'll have the chance to see the Blue Gate or Bab Boujloud, which serves as the entrance to the labyrinth of alleyways and streets of the old Medina. Within the Medina, we'll visit the Medrasa Bouanania, the Najjarine fountain, the Tanneries, and the Quaraouin mosque and university - the oldest university in the world. Following our time in the Medina, we'll journey to the Jewish quarter, also known as "the Mellah."
In the afternoon, we'll take a drive to an ancient fortress to gain a panoramic view of the Medina and the city of Fes. Finally, we'll return to your Riad.
Following breakfast, we will embark on a journey south, passing through Imouzzer to reach the charming town of Ifrane. This location is renowned for its low temperature, snowfall, and alpine-style architecture, earning it the nickname "Switzerland of Morocco." Following our time in Ifrane, we'll proceed to the cedar forest where the Barbary macaques reside. While wandering through the forest, you are welcome to feed them.
We'll then proceed to Midelt, where we'll have some free time for lunch. From there, we'll drive to Merzouga, traveling through the Tizi-n-Tilghmt pass and along the Ziz valley, making stops to take in the panoramic views along the way.
In the afternoon, we'll arrive at the Sahara desert of Merzouga. Here, you'll switch to camels and journey across the sandy desert. After reaching a high dune, we'll pause for a while to experience the sunset before making our way to the campsite. At the camp, you can enjoy the Berber drum music while dancing around the campfire under the vast, open sky filled with stars. Dinner will be served at the campsite, and you will spend the night there.
It's highly recommended to wake up early in the morning to witness the breathtaking sunrise in the heart of the desert. After taking in this stunning view, we'll have some free time for breakfast.
