Start your Morocco cultural tour by meeting your guide upon arrival at the Mohamed V Airport in Casablanca; your guide will take you immediately to check in to your hotel in Rabat. This is a wonderful short drive of about 45 miles.
You will reach Rabat, a city styled in a spaciously elegant European style, yet slightly aware of its modernity. Only a river separates Rabat and its twin city Sale Colonia, but they are historically different. Each civilization that has inhabited each city has left its mark, resulting in a wide variety of architectural styles, including those from the ancient Phoenician and Roman eras.
You will spend your day discovering the delights that Rabat has to offer. Your guide will take you on a historical and lively tour of the Jewish quarter, the Mellah in the Heart of the city, starting at Place Sidi Makhlouf. The 12-century ramparts are best seen from this landmark. Walk up to Bab Chellah in the medina and cross Sidi Fateh St. This will lead you to the traditional Souk Laghzel (Yarn market). Your guide will introduce you to the importance of this guild in a textile role in Moroccan society.
Later, you will cross to the citadel of the Oudaya Kasbah, entering from its 12th-century main gate to explore an extraordinary Medieval Moorish marvel overlooking the delta of the Bourgreg River. You will have the opportunity to visit the old-fashioned Moorish gardens, stop in a traditional coffee house for mint tea, and explore the Oudaya Museum of tribal arts and Crafts. A docent will introduce you to traditional Berber Textiles.
You will continue your quest by exiting the Oudaya Kasbah and up the hill to visit the Hassan Tower and Mohamed the V Mausoleum, an emblem of authentic Moroccan architecture at its finest. You will reach the Royal Palace and the Necropolis of Chellah at the end of your tour. Finally, you will return to the hotel for dinner and other accommodations.
Today is the day of time travel! Unlike fiction, this cultural trip will take you from imperial Rome to the ninth century A.D. This temporal voyage will take almost a full day. We will have some tops along the way.
The first visit will be to the ancient Roman city of Volubilis. Volubilis was a critical city in the imperial Roman department of Mauritania during the reign of Caracalla. Volubilis is impressively well preserved and the genius of the Roman metropolis model. The two central integral streets in every Roman castrum, the Cardo, and Decumanus, are prominent. The Cardo is the main street which runs north-south, and the Decumanus, east-west. The intersection of the two is the heart of every Roman city. There you will find the ruins of the ancient forum.
Jumping forward in time and just over the next hill is the venerated citadel of Moulay Idris, founded in the 8th century by Moulay Idris Al Akbar, who fled the persecution of the Calif of Damascus. This town is considered holy as it is both the cradle of Sufism in Moroccan society and the first Islamic capital of the first Arab dynasty. The city was created primarily for the indigenous population that migrated with Moulay Idris from the Middle East.
You will drive around 15 miles to the next stop, the imperial city of Meknes. Meknes is a 17th Century city built by Moulay Ismail to rival Fez. It is also considered to be the Versailles of Morocco. Finally, you have reached your destination, the ninth-century city of Fez. In the evening, you will taste the greatest of the Imperial Cities. You will visit the sights outside the ancient walled city, including the ramparts, the gates, and the Borjas (Moorish Forts). After this introductory aperitif to Fez, you will dine in your hotel and prepare for day three: Fez!
Fascinating, Fez stimulates the senses with its haunting sounds, visual splendor, and evocative smells. This world Heritage is featured in most of Morocco Tours. The most ancient of the imperial capitals and the complete medieval city of the Islamic world, Fez is reminiscent of a city suspended in time, unfazed by the constantly evolving world outsides of its walls. Fez owes nothing to the modern world, but electricity.
Time spent in Fez will reveal much about the sophistication of the Moroccan artisan, providing an unparalleled learning experience to those who cross its path. Your morning will be spent visiting the Medina. Our unmatched guide will take you on a historic discovery of the city of Fez, starting at the King s Palace and its Meshwar with ramparts and majestic gates.
Next, you will walk through the Jewish Quarter, a 15th-century town with all its Moorish maze architecture and medieval glory. Visits to Sephardic synagogues and mausoleums of holy Rabbis will be the highlights of this part of town. Then, we will drive to Merinides Hill to visit their necropolis. Enjoy the best panoramic view of the old walled Medina, brimful with its countless minarets to call for prayers in a city that has responded to these calls for 12 centuries. Drive down the hills to the gate of Bab Guissa to leave your vehicle and enter an ancient world. Fez has preserved its walled Medina as it was centuries ago. Not even a bicycle can be used as a tool for transportation. Only donkeys, mules, and horses can help move all the city produces and needs as supplies.
You will end your walk in the afternoon at Foundouk Lihoudi, where a local Fez family will host you for traditional mint tea in their home. Finally, you will return to your hotel for dinner and other accommodations.
You will spend your day discovering the rural vistas of the Atlas Mountains, Berber villages, wards, and nomadic encampments. Covered with evergreen pines, tall cedar trees, and poplars and laced with flowing streams, your first view of the Middle Atlas will appear oddly un-Moroccan. Passing by Imouzzer, with a quick stop at the Swiss-like town of Ifrane, you will soon come across the first real town of the Middle Atlas, Azrou.
Azrou is an important market center for Berber tribes, located at a major junction of mountain routes. Your driver will take a little detour in a cedar forest of Ain Leah to introduce you to one of the oldest inhabitants of this region, the Barbary apes. This may also coincide with the encounter of a nomadic family at its temporary encampment. Berber Nomads are very hospitable; whenever we encounter them, we are all invited at least for a mint tea under their tents.
At Khenifra, the Middle Atlas gives way to the High Atlas Mountains, whose peaks are visible through the haze, soaring to over 12,000 feet. After lunch, you will leave the Mountains, finally arriving in the foothills overlooking the magnificent oasis city of Marrakech Alhamra. Some of the stops above will include visits to Berber villages, scenic views, and traditional markets. You will conclude your day with dinner at your hotel.
You will devote your morning to exploring Marrakech's many historical sites, starting at the Menara, a magnificent pool surrounded by flowerbeds, reflecting the image of an exquisite Moorish edifice. It was constructed in 1866 for dignitaries who enjoyed glorious sunsets with the ethereal Atlas Mountains as a backdrop. The pool is an innovative irrigation system serving dry life in the desert.
Your tour will cover many impressive sites, including the Koutoubia Minaret (identical to la Giralda, a tower found in Sevilla, Spain) and the Saadian tombs, demonstrating Moorish architecture at its best. The tombs consist of sixteenth-century mausoleums, which had lain walled-in and undiscovered until 1917. Next, you will explore the gardens of the Agdal and then the Marjorelle. Finally, you will return to your hotel for dinner and other accommodations.
It is your day with free time to do whatever you wish, explore Marrakech your way, and shop in the Souks. However, an optional cultural excursion to the Ourika Valley is offered for those who like to discover the beauty of the Atlas Mountains nearby Marrakech.
You will transfer to Casablanca airport to connect for your flight back home. Assist you with checking and bid you goodbye. Thank you for visiting Morocco.
