6 days from casablanca

The plan of the Trip.

After arriving at the airport in Casablanca, you will meet your driver. To start the tour we will go
to one of the major wonders in Morocco: the Hassan II Mosque, which is the second highest
mosque in the world and a rare example of a mosque that can be visited by non-Muslims in
Morocco. After lunch, we will depart for Rabat, where you can enjoy its beautiful domes,
minarets, wide avenues and green spaces. It consolidates the best of a modern cosmopolitan life
with the lively cultural traditions of Morocco. Rabat was founded in the 14th, with the expulsion
of Andalusians from the Iberian Peninsula. It is surrounded by three walls corresponding to the
most significant stages of its history: the Almohad wall, the Andalusian wall and the Alawite
wall. Your guide will show you these walls and the main attractions of the city, like the Hassan
Tower, situated on top of an imposing mosque, and the opulent tomb of Mohammed V among
many others. After you check in your Hotel/Riad you can take a stroll into the Medina of Rabat.
Night at the Riad.
We will leave Rabat and head towards the blue city of Chefchaouen. To arrive in Chefchaouen is
to dive into a labyrinth that is unlike any other Moroccan medina, and yet it has a perfect order
and harmony. All roads lead to Outa-Hammam Square, which holds the largest mosque and
meeting center of its inhabitants. The blue city of Chefchaouen is one of the most charming and
emblematic cities in Morocco. With a calm medina nestled between the Rif Mountains and the
Middle Atlas, Chefchaouen is famous for goat cheese. Suspended and anonymous among the
mountains, the city is extraordinarily picturesque, ideal for those who like to explore a city with
freedom and to take photos, and for those who find delight in the details, in terms of culture or
architecture. Enjoy the view over the city, with its soft and continuous shades bathed in light,
from the top of a hill.
Night at the Riad.
Today you have a day trip to Akchour waterfalls. you will explore the Riff and the delights of its
sublime beautiful landscapes the faint light of dawn over Akchour waterfalls in which you will
discover breathtaking scenery and provide a great spot for photographs. Then we keep
discovering the city of Chefchaouen, its harmonious gastronomy and handicrafts workshops. The
best way to visit chefchaouen is to let yourself be lost in its streets and watch life happens.
Appreciate the traditional women’s clothes, blue above with a kilt that resembles blue and red
striped quilt, with a nice straw hat to match. The visit of the blue city includes the view of the
city from the top of a mountain, the washerwoman area near the river.
Night at the Riad.
After breakfast, we will leave for Fes and on the way stop by the imperial city of Meknes. Sultan
Moulay Ismail dreamed of making Meknes the most splendid city in North Africa, hence its
nickname “Versailles of the Maghreb”. Here we will visit the main points of interest. We can
visit the Roman ruins of Volubulis, one of the best-preserved Roman sites of the world. For a
long time, Volubulis was the principal Roman administration center in North Africa outside of
Egypt. Toward the end of the afternoon, we arrive in Fes, where we still have time to see the city​
in its splendor, bathed in the soft light of the afternoon and we will take a short panoramic tour of
the city. For dinner, we recommend the Clock Café, which has a very original and diverse menu
with original dishes such as a camel burger, among other Moroccan specialties that are not easily
accessible. This café also has interesting cultural exhibitions: you can hear an ancient Moroccan
tell stories and talk about the Morocco of old, enjoy a cinema night, or have a workshop on
Arabic calligraphy, among others.
Night at the Riad.
We will spend the morning and part of the afternoon visiting the medina de Fes with a local
guide, described by Paul Bowles as “an enchanted labyrinth protected from time”. The local
guide is thoroughly familiar with this city, so that you can discover it thoroughly: its corners,
traditions, stories and history. The labyrinth-like medina de Fes has more than 9000 streets which
create a magical environment between light and shadow. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Fes was once the capital of Morocco, and it has Fatimid, Andalusian, Arabic and Jewish
influences. The city reached its peak in the 13th century, and it became the center of knowledge,
with one of the world’s oldest universities. You will be able to visit the most important palaces,
the Jewish quarters, the Madrassa (old school and university from the 13th century) and a
Quranic school. Furthermore, you will visit shops with authentic handicrafts from Fes and its
leather work, where ancient methods are still used.
Return to the Riad.
