5-day tour of the imperial cities of Morocco

Arrive in the morning at Casablanca Airport. Depending on the time of year, there may be a time difference. Once through passport control and baggage claim, we will meet with the driver who will accompany us daily. Taking advantage of our arrival in the country's economic capital, we will take a panoramic tour of the most emblematic sites: the remains of the Wall, the New City, the Corniche (the seafront promenade), and a guided tour of the Hassan II Mosque, home to the tallest minaret in the world. The driver will recommend a seafront restaurant serving fresh fish. After lunch, we will depart for Rabat. The 100-km highway journey takes approximately one hour. Overnight stay and dinner in a 4-star hotel or riad in Rabat.

This morning we will visit Rabat, the country's capital, with a local guide. Among the sites we will visit are the Kasbah des Oudaias, a well-preserved fortified neighborhood built on a cliff from which we can see the neighboring city of Sale. We will continue to Le Tour Hassan and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, and we will also visit Chellah, an ancient Roman city converted into a necropolis.

In the afternoon, we will head to the Roman ruins of Volubilis, the largest Roman archaeological site in Morocco: the Triumphal Arch, the Capitol, and the House of Bacchus form this open-air treasure. On the way to Meknes, we will pass through the holy city of Moulay Idriss, who converted the local Berber population to Islam before founding Fez. The city displays its beautiful white houses around the mausoleum and remains a spiritual center, a protected place that transports travelers to another time.

Arrival in Meknes, one of the most beautiful and powerful imperial cities in Morocco. Accommodation and dinner in a 4* hotel or riad

This morning, we will visit Meknes with a local guide. Its medina is smaller and more relaxed than its neighbor Fez, but no less important. Founded in the 10th century by a Berber tribe, it became the country's capital in the 17th century. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Even today, it is protected by some 40 kilometers of walls, most notably the "Bab al Mansour," a large gate considered one of the most beautiful and well-preserved in the country. The city is home to imposing monuments, including many mosques, hence its nickname "the city of a hundred minarets." We will visit the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, the "Heri es Souani" granary-stables, and the "Habs Qara" underground prison. In the afternoon, we will head to Fez. Overnight stay and dinner will be provided in a riad in the medina or a 4* hotel.

Today we will visit Fez-el Bali, or in other words, the old Medina of Fez, one of the most authentic and best-preserved in the entire Arab world. We will walk through its labyrinthine medieval alleys where craft centers, mosques, and palaces are hidden amidst the bustle of its people.

Fez is undoubtedly the holiest of Morocco's Imperial Cities, as well as the most culturally rich. Strolling through the Old City is like stepping back in time to medieval times. We will do so accompanied by a local guide, always on foot, as motor vehicles are prohibited in this UNESCO World Heritage Medina. In the afternoon, we will continue the tour, seeing how the different neighborhoods are laid out, always centered around everyday scenes such as the Mosque, the Fountain, the Oven, the Baths, and the Koranic School. We will have the opportunity to see the famous tanneries, where leather is tanned, and climb to a viewpoint where, before sunset, we will be able to hear the last call to prayer. Accommodation and dinner in a Riad in the Medina or a 4* hotel.

At the agreed time, pick up at the Riad and transfer to Fez airport for your return flight.
