Itinerary:
DAY 1 ARRIVE IN CASABLANCA, MOROCCO
Welcome to Casablanca! At 6 pm, meet your Tour Director and traveling companions for a
welcome dinner at your hotel.
DAY 2 CASABLANCA–RABAT–MEKNES–FEZ
Follow North Africa’s infamous Barbary Coast to Rabat, once a lair of the corsairs and now the
country’s capital. Enjoy an orientation drive to see the massive medieval battlements, the Royal
Palace, and more. Continue to Meknes. Originally founded as a military settlement it was
transformed into an impressive city in Spanish-Moorish style during the reign of Sultan Moulay
Ismaïl. During your guided sightseeing, admire the monumental gates of the city walls, the
mosques, and the palace. Visit the ROYAL STABLES, constructed to house 12,000 of the royal
horses. Next is Fez. Blessed with an ample supply of water and strategically situated, Fez
became the capital of Morocco when the country shook off foreign rule under Berber King Idris in
the 8th century. To this day, Fez has remained Morocco’s spiritual and artistic center.
DAY 3 FEZ
View the magnificent entrance to the Royal Palace, drive through the Mellah, the old Jewish
quarter, and travel on to Bab Bou Jeloud, the traditional entrance to Old Fez. Your Local Guide
also leads you through labyrinthine MEDINA and MEDERSA BOU INANIA. Tonight, an optional
folklore dinner completes a fascinating day.
DAY 4 FEZ–MARRAKESH
A scenic drive through this fascinating country will take you to Marrakesh, beautifully located in
an oasis, and also known as the “Red City” for its red walls and red sandstone buildings.
DAY 5 MARRAKESH
Follow your Local Guide and visit BAHIA PALACE, the 16th-century SAADIAN TOMBS (if

is available.
DAY 6 MARRAKESH–CASABLANCA
Return to Casablanca and join your Local Guide, on a panoramic drive, featuring a visit to the
