Casablanca Airport - Overnight in Casablanca

Hotel: KENZI SIDI MAAROUF or equivalent

The soon your flight lands in Casablanca Airport, and you get your luggage, you need to walk outside the terminals to meet your local driver holding a sign with your name and our logo. Put the luggage in the vehicle and drive to your accommodation.

The first settlement of Casablanca was the Berber village Anfa. By the end of the 18th century, Sultan Mohammed Ben Abdallah founded a Muslim town at this site where Europeans were welcome to have their commercial enterprises for wool and grain. Get to know the history, culture, and economy of Casablanca by visiting few different famous sights like The United Nations Place, Mohamed V square followed by the Central Market and the Habous Quarter to enjoy the view of the Royal Palace before heading to the famous Hassan II Mosque.

** Your local English speaking driver stays at your disposal for the entire trip. So, please feel free to discuss any wishes you have with him including if you want to have dinner at a restaurant of your choice. He is there at your disposal.

** Approximate driving is 45mins (stops are NOT included). 


Casablanca to Rabat - Enjoy its royal touch!

Hotel: RIAD KALAA 2 or equivalent (only breakfast included)

This morning, you meet your driver for today's highlights. In case you didn't have the chance to visit the gorgeous mosque Hassan II yesterday, you can do it now before you head to Rabat which is the administrative capital of Morocco. This busy political center has a mix of the old Médina and the new Ville Nouvelle. It is located on the Atlantic Ocean along Bouregreg River. It has a variety of historic tourist attractions, such as Kasbahs, beautiful domes, minarets, big avenues & green spaces. Your driver is at your disposal to assist you with any necessary transportation. 

Don't miss to pay a visit to the Kasbah of the Udayas, whose grand, majestic silhouette is softened by the surrounding gardens. Not far beyond its walls lies the Chellah, a necropolis that dates to the Marinids. Entering the complex is like journeying to another world: marvel at the ancient remains as you walk through the gardens and glimpse a few storks.

These all add to the appeal of Rabat, where the treasures of the past coexist with the most modern and eco-friendly achievements.

** Your local guide is at your disposal in the afternoon. Feel free to ask him as many questions as you have to learn a lot about Morocco. It's your chance, do don't miss it. 

** Approximate driving is 1.5 hours (stops are NOT included).


Rabat - Roman Ruins at Volubilis - Meknes - Fes

Hotel: RIAD EL YACOUT or equivalent (breakfast and dinner included)

This morning you meet your driver early to travel together to Volubilis (a UNESCO world heritage site) which contains Morocco’s best-preserved Roman ruins and makes for a nice detour from the hustle and bustle of Meknes. Today you can wander the massive complex, exploring large merchant homes with visible heating systems underneath, temples, and many colorful mosaics on-site in quite good conditions.

By the afternoon, you are warmly welcome to Fes which is founded shortly after the Arabs exploded across North Africa, Fes is often referred to as the spiritual capital of Morocco. It was once one of the most important places of scholarship in the world. It can be neatly divided into three different parts: Fes el-Bali (the heart of the Medina); Fes el-Jdid (where the Jewish quarter and the Royal Palace are located); and the Ville Nouvelle (the administrative area).

* Local guide services at Volubilis & Meknes are NOT included. If you feel in need of having a local guide, your driver can arrange it for you at extra charges, and he will be taking care of coordinating the time and meeting point with them for you.

Fes to Marrakech via the Highway

Hotel: RIAD CHERGUI or equivalent (only breakfast included)

Your driver meets you at the time you fixed together yesterday to leave Fes to Marrakech via the Highway. This drive takes up to 6-6.5 hours which is why it's highly recommended you leave Fes early. 

By the afternoon, with its bustling souks, flavorful food, and famously welcoming hospitality, it's no wonder that tourists are starting to take note of Marrakesh. known as the ‘Red City’, Marrakech is the exotic imperial city of the south. It is the fourth largest city in Morocco and lies near the foothills of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains. Check-in at your accommodation and relax.

Djemaa-el-Fna square bustles with acrobats, story-tellers, water sellers, dancers, and musicians. In the evening the square transforms into a huge open-air restaurant with smoke rising from the many food stalls.

Please feel free to have stops on the way. The driver is at your disposal for any need you have during your travel all the way.

Marrakech discovery with your local guide

Your local guide is coming to meet you in the morning at the accommodation to enter the old medina where you continue on foot to discover historical palaces, museums, and Koranic schools.

Please enjoy the afternoon exploring the new city at your own leisure; most of our travelers find it easy to navigate on their own and visit the Jardin Majorelle taking a local taxi; not like the old Medina which is like a maze :)
