Morocco Imperial Cities

Kick off the day with a leisure walk in the Jardin Majorelle Garden featuring amazing Majorelle blue. 
Inside the splendid Palace of Bahia, get ready to be overcome by its Islamic architecture mixed with Moroccan style. Rambling around the impressive spaces, capture intricate carvings and bright mosaic tiling with your camera.

Standing outside of Koutoubia Mosque, get a close exterior view of its iconic rose-colored minaret.
Spend some time hanging out in the bustling Jemaa el-Fnaa, experiencing the authentic atmosphere of the Moroccan world.

Make a long road trip toward Fez via the Middle Atlas Mountains (about 6-8 hours). You may pass through Berber markets, waterfalls, and towns to stop for meals and coffee (pay on your own).

On arrival in the late afternoon (you may reach later than expected according to your stop en route), check into the hotel for a good rest.

Time to get lost inside the hill-walled medieval Medina of Fez. Following a local guide, stroll around the maze-like streets to check out the hidden gems. Climb to a rooftop of surrounding leather stores for bird's-eye views of the famed Chouara Tannery with numerous dying pits in various colors.

Ramble around the courtyard of the Al-Attarine Madrasa to enjoy its exquisite interior decorations.
Flock into the Souk Nejjarine and Mellah for an insight into locals' daily life. Explore further at your own pace in the late afternoon or take an optional visit to a pottery workshop to create your own pottery.

Leave Fez behind for Rabat, the current capital of Morocco. Three stop points along the way will spice up the road journey. Take a stroll around the old city of Meknes, which, along with Marrakech, Fez, and Rabat, are four historical imperial cities of the country.

Visit the holy city of Moulay Idriss, where Moulay Idriss founded the country's first Arab dynasty. Explore the ruins of Volubilis, where massive columns and houses with astonishing mosaics will transmit you into the old days of the Roman Empire.

Glimpse Rabat through a morning tour. Photograph with the iconic Hassan Tower, a 44-meter red minaret surrounded by a sea of ruined columns. Pay respect at the nearby Mausoleum of Mohammed V. Take a stroll around the Kasbah of Oudayas, an old fortified quarter with many blue-washed buildings.

After the tour, proceed to Casablanca for the night. Before relaxing in the hotel, take an exterior view of the Hassan II Mosque overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

Check out of the hotel at the appointed time and be escorted by a private vehicle to the airport for your homebound flight.
