Unless a specific accommodation is requested, we carefully curate and recommend a selection of the finest 3-star or 4-star authentic stays throughout your journey. From quintessential Moroccan lodging nestled within bustling medinas to charming hotels and riads exuding local charm, each establishment offers a unique experience reflective of the region’s culture and heritage.

Optional

As part of our dedication to responsible tourism, we’re thrilled to introduce our "Give Back" initiative, an integral aspect of our commitment to positively impact communities during your journey through Morocco. We proudly endorse the admirable efforts of Ennajah Association and Chabab Time, two non-profit organizations devoted to uplifting Moroccan society. Ennajah Association, headquartered in Zagora, focuses on sustainable development by addressing school dropout rates among girls through initiatives such as providing transportation and vital water resources to the community. Meanwhile, Chabab Time, with operations spanning across Morocco from Rabat, actively promotes youth involvement in public affairs. Moreover, we encourage our travelers to contribute to our giving efforts by donating items such as medications, clothes, or other essentials. Additionally, we may extend our support to a local Berber school by providing supplies and small toys, bringing joy and making a tangible impact on children’s lives. We believe in offering you the chance to make a meaningful difference, nurturing genuine connections, and ensuring your visit leaves a positive imprint. As you bid farewell, you’ll carry with you cherished mementos of your adventure – carpets, Argan oil, lanterns, and treasured memories – but more significantly, you’ll leave behind a lasting legacy of support and solidarity for the communities you’ve had the privilege to touch.

Insurance

We offer transportation insurance as part of our services to ensure a secure journey for our customers. However, it’s essential to note that comprehensive travel insurance is not included in our packages. We strongly advise all travelers to arrange their own travel insurance policies to safeguard against unforeseen circumstances and provide additional peace of mind throughout their trip.

Please note that while we are dedicated to facilitating every aspect of your travel experience, we do not handle flight bookings for our customers. However, we are more than happy to offer recommendations and assistance to ensure you find the best flights to complement your itinerary.

However, in bustling cities, we offer our guests the flexibility to choose their dining venues from a plethora of options available, though we are happy to offer recommendations upon request.

12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Casablanca Arrival

It depends on your landing time. After your tour guide/driver has picked you up & dropped you off at your hotel you might like to discover some of Casablanca’s sights. Notably the Hassan II Mosque which is considered to be the largest in north Africa and the third largest in the Islamic world, with its splendid esplanade and its tallest minaret in the world. It is a long reach of marble and emerald zellige rising 210 meters into the sky. Grand and timeless, the Great Mosque is constantly busy, a meeting point for Sunday strolls.

12:00 am - 11:59 pm

If time didn’t allow you to visit Casablanca’s sights yesterday you can do it this morning. After Casablanca, Morocco’s political and administrative capital Rabat, will be waiting for us.

You will have the opportunity to explore the city on a short visit, first through the monumental Hassan tower with the pillared ruins of its mosque being all that remains from the earthquake of 1755. There is also the near-by Mausoleum of the royal family.

The two main points of interest are the Ville Imperial (Imperial City) and the medina. Be sure to visit the Bab al-Mansour gate, the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, and the Royal Stables.

Continue east to your third imperial city, Fes. With its impressively large (and somewhat confusing) old medina, Fes is a city worth getting lost in. Before venturing into the medina, drive up the hill to take the time to visit the Merenid Tombs located just north of the city and enjoy the all-encompassing view of historic Fes and the surrounding area. Descend the hill and find your way to your riad (a traditional Moroccan house with an interior garden) where you can enjoy a delicious meal and relax for the evening.
