TOUR OVERVIEW

 

A journey through Morocco from North to South offers a rich tapestry of landscapes, cultures, and history. Starting in Tangier and the northern coast, travelers experience a blend of Mediterranean and Atlantic influences before moving inland to the blue-washed streets of Chefchaouen and the imperial splendor of Fez, the country’s spiritual and cultural heart. Continuing south, the route crosses the Middle Atlas Mountains before reaching the vibrant city of Marrakech, with its bustling souks and gardens. The journey culminates on the southern Atlantic coast in Essaouira, where the rhythm of the ocean contrasts with the stillness of the desert—an unforgettable finale to Morocco’s north-to-south odyssey.

Return to your hotel in the evening for dinner (included). Overnight in Rabat.

Enjoy breakfast at your hotel before checking out. Depart with our guide toward Tangier, stopping en route in the charming seaside town of Asilah. Often compared to the Greek islands for its whitewashed houses accented with blue doors and windows, Asilah is also known as an artistic hub, where vibrant murals decorate the medina walls. Take time to stroll through the narrow streets and enjoy the relaxed coastal atmosphere. Lunch will be at your leisure in Asilah. Continue your journey to Tangier and check in at your hotel upon arrival. Dinner will be served at the hotel (included). Overnight in Tangier.

The American Legation Museum (subject to opening hours), home to fine paintings and a special room dedicated to the American writer Paul Bowles.

After breakfast and hotel check-out, depart for Fes with a stop in the charming city of Chefchaouen, famous for its blue and white lime-washed houses. Stroll through the medina and admire the Grand Tarik-Ben-Ziad Mosque, whose octagonal minaret was inspired by Seville’s Torre de Oro. Explore the kasbah and its gardens at the heart of the old town, where Andalusian architectural influences are beautifully preserved. The kasbah walls, with their 11 crenellated towers—one of which once served as a dungeon—now house a fascinating ethnographic museum. 

Enjoy a walking tour through the blue walls of the city. Enjoy lunch on your own in Chefchaouen before continuing your journey to Fes. Upon arrival, check in at your hotel, followed by dinner and overnight stay.

After breakfast, meet your national tour guide for a full-day sightseeing tour of Fes, one of Morocco’s four Imperial Cities and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Your exploration begins at the magnificent Royal Palace Gate, followed by a walk through the historic Jewish Quarter (Mellah). Continue to the 15th-century Borj Nord fortress, which offers panoramic views of the medina, and visit the world’s oldest continually operating university, founded in the 9th century by a woman—a remarkable testament to Fes’ legacy of learning.

In the evening, return to your hotel to freshen up, then savor a traditional Moroccan dinner with live entertainment at a renowned Restaurant.

Lunch will be served at a local restaurant in Meknes. Resume our tour of this 17th-century imperial and historic city of Meknes, which includes the Yacoub El Mansour Gateways, the Palace Tomb of Moulay Ismail, the ruins of the vast imperial stables, if time permits, and granaries. Return to your hotel in Fes for dinner and retire for the night.

Your sightseeing includes:

Majorelle Garden – A beautiful botanical and artist’s landscape garden created by French Orientalist Jacques Majorelle in the 1920s–1930s. Known for its striking cobalt blue buildings, exotic plants, and tranquil atmosphere, the garden attracts visitors from all over the world.

Koutoubia Mosque – Built in the 12th century under Sultan Yacoub al-Mansour of the Almohad dynasty, this mosque was intended as the centerpiece of Marrakech’s new capital.

Bahia Palace – Constructed between 1866–1867 by Grand Vizier Si Moussa and later expanded by his son Bou Ahmed. “Bahia” means “brilliance” or “beautiful” in Arabic. The palace showcases intricate architecture and lavish decoration.

El Badi Palace – Built in the late 16th century by Sultan Ahmed al-Mansur to celebrate the Saadian victory over the Portuguese. Once featuring 360 rooms, lavish materials, gardens, and pavilions, the palace was designed as a grand display of wealth and power.

Jewish Quarter (Mellah) – Established in 1558 by Sultan Abdallah al-Ghalib, the Mellah was a designated area for Marrakech’s Jewish community. The term “Mellah” means “salt,” referencing its historical proximity to salt mines.

Medersa Ben Youssef – Founded in the 14th century by Marinid Sultan Abu al-Hassan, this Islamic school was expanded over the centuries, notably by the Saadian dynasty in the 16th century.

Return to your hotel to freshen up. Enjoy dinner and traditional entertainment at Palais Narwama or a similar venue.

After an early breakfast and check-out, we will depart for a full-day excursion to the coastal city of Essaouira, a favorite getaway for several rock stars of the 1970s. This historic city, formerly known as Mogador, means “fortress surrounded by ramparts” and features charming fortifications built by the Portuguese. Essaouira is also world-renowned for its production of Argan oil. Several famous Hollywood films, including Game of Thrones and John Wick 3, have been shot here.

On the way, we will stop at a women’s cooperative, where you can witness the traditional process of making Argan oil and explore other artisanal products. Lunch will be served at a local restaurant offering stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean.
