Day 1 Casablanca – Rabat
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Casablanca – Rabat

Welcome to magical Morocco! Upon your arrival at Casablanca Airport (CMN) or your designated accommodation, you’ll be warmly greeted by a representative from Morocco Getaway. Get ready to embark on the most incredible adventure of your life as we journey to Rabat, the current capital of Morocco. The drive will take approximately 1.5 hours, and upon arrival, you’ll have the remainder of the day to explore.

Begin your exploration with a visit to the Hassan Tower, a historical landmark that has remained incomplete since 1199. Commissioned by Abu Yusuf Yaqub al-Mansur, the tower was originally intended to be the minaret for the world’s largest mosque. Unfortunately, the project was abandoned upon the sultan’s passing in 1199. The site now features partial outer walls, 348 columns, and a minaret standing at half of its intended height, reaching 140 feet instead of the planned 260 feet.

Adjacent to the Hassan Tower is the Mohammed V Mausoleum, an architectural masterpiece in the Alaouite style. The mausoleum houses the tombs of Mohammed V, the current king’s grandfather, along with the king’s father, Hassan II, and his uncle, Prince Abdallah. Admire the elegance of the white walls and green-tiled roof as you explore this historical site. Spend the night in Rabat, immersing yourself in the rich cultural atmosphere of the city.
Day 2 Rabat – Fes
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Rabat – Fes

This morning, our expedition commences from Rabat towards the Imperial City of Meknes. Once renowned for a sultan’s palace that was said to rival Versailles, today, only the Old Granaries and stables remain due to a powerful earthquake. As we explore these remnants, you’ll have the opportunity to envision the grandeur that once characterized the entire complex.

Our journey takes us past the Holy City of Moulay Idriss, a significant pilgrimage site named after the great-grandson of the prophet Muhammad. Later, we proceed to the Roman city of Volubilis, an expansive archaeological site celebrated for its well-preserved mosaic floors. Despite only 25% of the site being uncovered so far, this visit provides a captivating insight into Roman life in Morocco.

Continuing our adventure, we make our way to the enchanting city of Fes. This cultural and historical hub is renowned for its vibrant souks, ancient medina, and exquisite architecture. Get ready to immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Fes, where each narrow alleyway holds centuries of history and tradition.
Day 3 Fes
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Fes

Today, you will be guided by a professional guide to explore Fes. Visiting Fes is akin to a journey through time. The robust city walls, labyrinthine Medina, and well-preserved Old City make Fes a cherished tourist destination in Morocco. Strolling through the intricate alleyways of the Medina feels like stepping into the Middle Ages. Recognizing its historical significance, the French have maintained this site.

However, this preservation has contributed to its decline, as financial and government centers shifted elsewhere in the country. In 1956, a considerable number of Jews left the city, and it was subsequently populated by rural migrants seeking a new life. Consequently, the ancient center of learning has undergone transformations. Yet, it remains a captivating living museum where losing oneself is a joy.

Local guides will lead you through the enchanting Medina, a living monument to an ancient past, adorned with tanneries, markets, craftsmen, mosques, and ceramics. During your visit, don’t miss the opportunity to explore Medersa Bou Inania, the city’s most exquisite building, recently restored and open to visitors. The tour also includes a visit to the renowned tannery, offering an iconic view of a ceramic factory, dye pits, and traditional potters at work. Indulge in famous Moroccan cuisines such as Harira (chicken soup) and chicken-stuffed pastille with couscous, adding to the delightful experience.
Day 4 Fes – Chefchaouen
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Fes – Chefchaouen

Embark on a mesmerising journey from Fes to Chefchaouen, nestled in the grand Rif Mountains. As we ascend the mountain roads, the charming town slowly reveals its iconic blue and white-washed houses against the picturesque backdrop of the two-horned peaks. Chefchaouen, often referred to as the Blue City, captivates visitors with its unique charm.

Upon arrival, immerse yourself in the enchanting atmosphere of Chefchaouen without a guide on this first day. Explore the winding lanes, vibrant markets, and serene squares at your own pace. Absorb the tranquility of this blue-hued gem, where every corner tells a story of cultural richness and artistic expression. Engage with the friendly locals, sample local cuisine, and enjoy the distinct ambiance that defines Chefchaouen.
Day 5 Chefchaouen
12:00 am - 11:59 pm

Chefchaouen

From its rooftop, marvel at the panoramic views of the town, adorned with blue and white houses, tiled roofs, and citrus trees.

Continue to Plaza Uta el-Hammam, home to the 15th-century grand Mosque, and absorb the vibrant atmosphere of the square. With our expert guide, gain insights into the historical and architectural significance of these landmarks, enriching your understanding of Chefchaouen’s heritage.

Throughout the day, the guide will lead you through the hidden corners and cultural highlights of the Blue City, allowing you to delve deeper into its unique character and traditions. Immerse yourself in the hues of Chefchaouen’s enchanting streets, discovering the secrets that make this town a true Moroccan gem.

Discover the city’s notable landmarks, including the medina, kasbah (a type of fortress), the Grand Socco (Big Square) where the Mendoubia Gardens are located, and Petit Socco (Little Square). Immerse yourself in this bustling and fascinating port city—a melting pot of cultures, cuisine, and nationalities from North Africa, Spain, Portugal, and France.
