Our 8 days tour from Casablanca commences with a convenient pick-up from either the airport, port, or your lodging in Casablanca - the biggest and most economically significant city in Morocco. Our first stop is at the Hassan II mosque, the largest mosque in the country, which is situated on a promontory overlooking the Atlantic Ocean on the city's west coast. Following that, we will have a break for lunch and then proceed to explore the city, including a visit to the impressive Cornish of Casablanca. Finally, we will spend the night in a hotel.
Following breakfast, we will embark on a scenic coastal drive to Rabat, one of the imperial cities in Morocco and the current capital, where you will have the opportunity to explore the city's highlights. These include the impressive Hassan Tower, the ornate Mausoleum of Mohammed V, and the charming Kasbah of Oudaya. Afterwards, there will be some free time for you to enjoy your lunch. In the afternoon, we will travel north through Ouazzane to reach Chefchaouen, the Blue city situated in the picturesque Rif Mountains. The town is renowned for its distinctive buildings and alleyways, which are painted in vibrant shades of blue and white. You will spend the night in a hotel.
Following breakfast, you are welcome to explore the charming alleyways of the Blue city, Chefchaouen, at your leisure. Afterward, we will drive to visit the ancient Roman ruins of Volubilis, which are incredibly well-preserved and have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, you will have the chance to admire numerous stunning mosaics, as well as ancient pillars and archways. Once we have finished exploring the ruins, we will drive approximately 30 km to reach Meknes - an Ismaili capital and one of Morocco's imperial cities. While there, we will visit several significant sites, including Bab Al-Mansour, Sahrij Souani Basin, the Royal stable, the granary, and the Moulay Ismail Mausoleum. Finally, we will proceed to Fes, where we will spend the night in a Riad.
Following breakfast, we will embark on a guided tour of Fes's most significant sites. Fes is widely recognized as one of the imperial cities and serves as the cultural and religious center of Morocco.
Our tour will begin by visiting the Royal Palace gate, followed by the well-preserved medieval Medina, which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You will have the opportunity to explore the Blue gate or Bab Boujloud, the entrance to the old Medina, before venturing inside to visit several other notable landmarks. These include the Medrasa Bouanania, the Najjarine fountain, the Tanneries, and the Quaraouin mosque and university - the oldest university in the world. After leaving the Medina, we will head to the Jewish quarter, also known as "the Mellah." In the afternoon, we will drive to an ancient fortress to enjoy a panoramic view of the Medina and the city of Fes. We will then return to your Riad to conclude our tour.
Following a satisfying breakfast, we will travel south through Imouzzer on our way to Ifrane. This city is renowned for its chilly weather, snow, and alpine-style architecture, earning it the moniker "the Switzerland of Morocco." We will then proceed to the cedar forest, which is home to the Barbary macaques. Feel free to feed them while exploring the forest. Our next stop will be in Midelt, where we will have some leisure time to enjoy lunch. We will then continue our journey to Merzouga via the Tizi-n-Tilghmt pass and along the Ziz valley. We will make stops along the way to take in the magnificent panoramic views.
Upon arrival in Merzouga, we will switch to camels and traverse the sandy desert. We will pause on top of a high dune to witness the stunning sunset before continuing on to the desert camp. The camp combines the traditional nomad tents with the luxury amenities of a hotel. You can enjoy Berber drum music while dancing around the campfire under the vast open sky full of stars. Dinner will be served, and you will spend the night in the camp.
Rise and shine early in the morning to witness the breathtaking sunrise in the heart of the desert. After breakfast, you'll ride camels back to Merzouga, where the driver will be waiting for you.
