Welcome to Spain and Morocco tours. As you arrive at Madrid Airport, your Tour guide and driver will be waiting to greet you and then transfer you to your hotel in Toledo to meet the small group of travelers from Spain and Morocco. Your Cultural Spain and Morocco tour begins here, exploring the marvels of Spain and Morocco through their rich cultural encounters. You can continue to Toledo (the old Islamic Moorish city), which is only an hour's drive south of Madrid. Here is where it all started, the fall of the Vandals and the rise of Islamic civilization. Later on, we will depart to visit and explore the historic, Islamic, and cultural sights of Toledo. Visit the Historical Mosque, built by Muslim King Mussa Ibn Ali in 999 AD, later to become the Church of Christo de la Luz. The ramparts, which enter the city from its oldest gate, Bab al Saqra, lead to the old Moorish city. There is another mosque located near the souk called the Mosque of the Tornerias. This Mosque has special arches similar to the Grand Mosque of Cordoba, two courts, and a wonderful Mihrab. The best panoramic view over the city is from the Alcazar, a famous Palace of Muluk Tawaif, “Muslim Kings of Spain”. We will conclude our tour in the Zocodover Square, which was formerly the livestock market since the 10th century. Dinner is in the hotel.
Our cultural discovery of Spain and Morocco proceeds to the historic city of Granada, the epitome of Moorish civilization. Today, we will travel to Granada, crossing a beautiful part of Castilla-La Mancha to the most rewarding province of Andalusia, located in southern Spain. Granada is a jewel nestled at the foothills of Mount Shulayr in the Sierra Nevada overlooking the lush plateau of “la Vega”. The emblem of Granada is the Moorish Alhambra Palace and its exotic gardens, including the Generalife. You will also visit the old Muslim quarter of Albaicín, the most elite neighborhood of Moorish times, featuring dignitary palaces, Moorish baths and fountains, Medersa schools, and notable dwellings that still bear witness to a glorious time in Islamic Spain. A Glorious Islamic City is still standing proud to hold the emblem of “la Ghaliba Illa Allah” No Glorious but Allah. Granada, a cultural center throughout the ages, is indeed unique in its history as the last outpost of Muslim Spain and also home to many Christian monuments, including the tombs of King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, revered as the Catholic Monarchs of Spain and the pioneers of the Hispanic discovery of Latin America. Initially, two historic achievements occurred coincidentally in 1492 AD: the End of Moorish sovereignty in Spain and the discovery of a new world. Dinner will be in your hotel
Your Specialized guide in Islamic History on this Spain and Morocco tour will take you on a full-day sightseeing tour of notable places in Granada. This will include the Alhambra Moorish Palace and its famous Generalife Gardens, the Albaicín Kasbah, the Panoramic Mirador of Saint Nicolas, and the Great Mosque of Granada. He will elaborate on each site's specialty in terms of its cultural and historical makeup. Muslim presence in every corner of Granada is remarkable even nowadays.
We will arrive at Cordoba in the morning, Andalucia’s most northern province. One of its many treasures is the Mezquita, a mosque of exquisite beauty and unrivaled Moorish architecture, built over a thousand years ago. Our visit begins at the bridge of Mussa ibn Nusair, Torre de la Calahorra. Then it progresses to the old city of La Judería, concluding at the legendary mosque of the Khalif Abderrahman III, founder of Moorish Spain and the first Umayyad Monarch. As you walk through this city, a highlight of your Spain and Morocco tour, pay special attention to the expansive, lavish patios of Moorish heritage, which feature sophisticated architecture designed to stimulate without being ostentatious. Depart in the afternoon from Cordoba to Seville. Visit on the way the ruins of Imperial Al Medina Azahar. Continue on your cultural discovery tour to Seville. This luminous city, which is immediately captivating, possesses an aura of happiness any visitor can easily detect. Undeniably, for the connoisseur, it is Spain’s most beautiful metropolis. Sevilla earned a reputation as a place to savor the fullness of life. The lively streets of this enticing city manifest the realm of Spanish life from within, and one can’t help but become Spanish. The traditional theatrical exhibitions you will encounter in basically every square are indeed an art form unique to Seville. Your day visit to Spain and Morocco tour will conclude with a dinner at your hotel.
After breakfast, your local guide will take you on a cultural visit to Seville. This is the most beautiful, aesthetically, and most lively city in Spain. Your cultural visit will cover the sights and sounds of Seville. From the Roman site of Italica to the striking Museo de Bellas Artes, the Alcázar Palace, the Tower of Torre del Oro, and not to mention the one and only Giralda, still proudly standing, overlooking the Guadalquivir, to witness the glory of Moorish civilization. Discover which of Sevilla’s glorious monuments would be your favorite. To cap off today's cultural tour of Seville, a horse-drawn carriage ride will be offered to visit Casa de España and the gardens of Queen Isabella la Loca. Dinner will be at the hotel.
After breakfast, we will proceed with our cultural tour of Spain and Morocco towards Fez. Depart in the morning from Seville to Tarifa, where a ferry will take you across the Strait of Gibraltar. You will admire the beautiful diversity of landscapes that will lead you to cross the dramatic white villages in Andalucia to Tarifa at the Strait of Gibraltar, the columns of Hercules that separate Europe from Africa. Lunch will be on the road. You can continue in the afternoon to Tangier by ferry, then go to Fez. You will reach Fez in the afternoon with sightseeing of the Ramparts, the Gates, the Borjs (forts), and the Andalusian part. Dinner is at the hotel.
These are the most important highlights of our cultural Spain and Morocco tour. You can meet with your local guide of Fez after breakfast. The guide will take you on an artistic journey through this medieval city, as well as its historical sites. The first guilds you will immediately encounter are the cobblers, the saddlers, and the blacksmiths, interlaced by some caravansaries for tribe members who come from the surrounding areas to trade and supply their needs. Down the hill to Juteya, you will encounter all sorts of crafts, but noticeably carpenters and leather workers, as one of the traditional tanneries is not far. This walk will lead you to El Ashabine Square, featuring a variety of activities. From there, you will wind your way to the Sgha square, which will lead you to Attarine, then Souk el Henna and the Maqam of Moulay Idris, the founder of Fez. Next to it, you will visit the Nejjarine square with its famous fountain, its guild of carpentry, and the museum of folk arts at the Fondouk. You will walk to the tannery and on to visit the great Mosque wiyyinQurrawiyyine Shemma’ine, the market of dried fruits. After that, you will see the Medersa Attarine and walk to Sbetryyine, a guild of bookbinders, which will lead you to the Seffarine Square, where the tapping of metalworkers is still deafening passersby as it was the case for centuries. You will break for lunch, then continue exploring the marvels of Fez Medina. These will highlight the Dyer's souk, Foundouk Tetouan, and the shrine of Sidi Ahmed Tijani, a Sufi imam who played a significant role in introducing Islam in black Africa. Sufism in West Africa is predominantly associated with the Tijaniyya Tarika. You will end your walk at the Foundouk Lihoudi, where a local Fez family will host you for traditional mint tea in their home (Optional). Finally, you will return to your hotel for dinner and other accommodations.
Enjoy a day discovering the rural environs of the Atlas Mountains’ Berber villages, wards, and nomadic settlements. Coped 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 a significant market center for the region’s Berber tribes, situated at a major junction of mountain routes. Your driver will take a little detour in a cedar forest 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. As nomads are very hospitable people, 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 descend the Atlas Mountains, finally arriving in the foothills which overlook 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 and other accommodations at your hotel.
You will devote your morning to exploring Marrakech's many historical and cultural sites, starting at the Menara, a magnificent pool surrounded by flowerbeds that reflects the image of an exquisite Moorish edifice. It was built in 1866 for dignitaries, who enjoyed glorious sunsets with the ethereal Atlas Mountains as a backdrop. The pool also serves as an innovative irrigation system, providing water to dry land in the desert. Your tour will cover many impressive sites, including the Koutoubia Minaret (which is identical to la Giralda, a tower found in Sevilla, Spain), and the Saadian tombs, which demonstrate Moorish architecture at its best. The tombs consist of sixteenth-century mausoleums that had lain walled in and undiscovered until 1917. Next, you will explore the gardens of the Agdal. Finally, you will return to your hotel for dinner and other accommodations.
You will begin your day with an excursion to the Ourika Valley, where you will visit the traditional Berber Souks, as well as the Sufi shrines. After lunch, you will visit the Berber Museum of Arts and Crafts to learn about the dwellers of these mountains and their products before you discover their workshops and sophisticated, hand-made products. You will return to Marrakech for dinner and other accommodations at your hotel.
Your cultural Spain and Morocco tour discovery has come to a close. On your last day in Morocco, you will depart for the Casablanca Airport early in the morning. There you will catch a flight back home with a lifetime's worth of memories packed neatly into your suitcase.
