Suggested Itinerary

Welcome to Morocco! Upon arrival, you’ll be transferred to your hotel in Rabat, a city of refined charm and political prestige.

If—and only if—you feel rested and eager—you’re welcome to begin exploring right away. In that case, your stay in Rabat may be shortened to just one night. Otherwise, take the time to unwind and recover from your journey at your own pace.

Dinner and overnight in Rabat.

Today, explore Rabat’s highlights: the stately Royal Palace, the serene Chellah Necropolis, the commanding Hassan Tower, and the picturesque Udaya Kasbah perched above the Atlantic.

The afternoon is yours to shape—perhaps a riverside or seaside walk, a visit to a museum, or simply soaking in the atmosphere while sipping coffee or tea and taking the pulse of the city.

Overnight in Rabat.

Set out from Rabat toward the imperial city of Meknes, where monumental gates and grand architecture whisper tales of a bygone era.

Then, journey just beyond the city to a charming vineyard for a leisurely lunch paired with a tasting of Morocco’s emerging wines—a true celebration of the land’s flavors.

In the afternoon, continue to Fes for a two-night stay.

Overnight in Fes

Spend the day immersed in the medina of Fes, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Visit highlights such as a 14th-century madrasa, Seffarin Square, the tanneries, and the bustling souks. View the exterior of the al-Qarawiyyin Mosque and Library, one of the oldest in the world.

The discovery of Fes will be paused for lunch at a traditional Moroccan restaurant before continuing your exploration.

Dinner at leisure.

Overnight in Fes

Depart Fes for the ancient Roman city of Volubilis, where remarkably preserved mosaics and columns rise from a landscape of gentle hills.

Pause for lunch in nearby Meknes, then continue onward to Casablanca, Morocco’s bustling Atlantic capital.

Overnight in Casablanca.

After breakfast, begin a short city tour of Casablanca, highlighted by a visit to the iconic Hassan II Mosque, a marvel of modern Islamic architecture set dramatically above the Atlantic Ocean.

Pause for lunch, then journey south to Marrakesh, the legendary Red City pulsing with energy and layered history.

Upon arrival, check in to your hotel. If you feel up to it, enjoy an introductory visit to the vibrant Jemaa el-Fna Square, or simply take time to relax and settle in.

Overnight in Marrakesh.

Today’s guided tour takes you through Marrakesh’s most celebrated landmarks, including the ornate Bahia Palace, the majestic Koutoubia Mosque (exterior), the historic Ben Youssef Madrasa, and the maze-like medina—alive with artisan workshops and vibrant souks.Pause midday for lunch—whether you're in the mood for local flavors or international fare, options abound.

Bid farewell to Marrakesh as you transfer to the airport for your international flight. Depending on flight schedules, your departure may be from Marrakesh or Casablanca.
