Morocco itinerary 7 Days

Pick up from Casablanca airport or hotel; our driver will welcome and greet you. In this charming city, you will see the Hassan, the 2 nd mosque, the second largest functioning Mosque in all of Africa, and the 7th largest in the world. We will then continue the drive to see the famous Ricks Cafe mentioned in the movie “Casablanca.”

We will continue our drive to Rabat, Morocco’s administrative capital. You will start exploring Rabat, where the ancient and modern collide in the tree-fringed boulevards of this European-flavored administrative capital. 

Our local informative guide will ensure you have a wonderful day. Among the many sights to visit is the Kasbah of Oudayas, with its beautiful Andalusian gardens at the mouth of Abu Regrag. 

The al-Mohades dynasty initially built the Kasbah in the 12th century. A highlight will be the Hassan Tower, another UNESCO site in Rabat. It is part of an incomplete mosque built by the same dynasty in the 12th century. The mausoleum of Mohamed V and Hassan II is at the exact location, and its architecture is fantastic. While at this site, you will also walk to view the stunning performing arts center. 

Following the visit to Rabat, we continued our drive via the Rif Mountains to Chefchaouen, where you will spend the night in a riad or hotel.

After breakfast, we will leave Checfchaouen and continue to the Roman ruins of Volubilis. A local guide will accompany you to this historical site, which dates back to 225 BC and was part of the Roman Empire. Here, you will see the most beautiful mosaics from the same period.

After breakfast, our local informative guide will take you on an adventure through Fes (or Fez), Morocco’s intellectual, cultural, and spiritual capital. Fes is primarily known for the Fes El Bali, or walled Medina, another UNESCO site with its medieval architecture, vibrant souks, and old-world atmosphere. We start outside the Medina to see the royal palace gate and then walk through the Jewish Quarter, or the millah, the first Jewish Quarter built in the country. 

Following that, you will enter the Medina to experience the sensory stimulating souks – exotic spices, vibrant materials, and beautiful metalworks are just some sights you will encounter. As well as spending the morning wandering by the souks, you will visit sites with cultural and historical interest, including the famous Medrasa Bouanania, the el-Karaouine Mosque, and the University, the oldest in the world (and built by a woman). You will also visit the famous tanneries and the Najjarine Fountain. 

After a Moroccan lunch at a local restaurant in the heart of the Medina, we will drive to one of the fortresses to experience a fantastic panoramic view of the entire Medina. From there, we will visit a pottery cooperative. Time permitting, we will take a drive through the modern Fes drive to experience a different atmosphere. Overnight at the same hotel or Riad. BB
