Morocco Grand Tour

Airport Transfer (30 min)Private pickup from CMN arrivals to your hotel.

Hassan II MosqueMorocco's greatest architectural achievement, built on a promontory jutting into the Atlantic. Guided interior tours available.

Art-Deco City WalkCasablanca's French Protectorate heritage left an extraordinary collection of Mauresque and Art-Deco architecture — best explored on foot through the Quartier des Habous and Place Mohammed V.

Evening Transfer to Fès (3h30m)Depart after lunch for the long but rewarding drive northeast to Fès. Arrive early evening for dinner in the medina.

Morning: Medina Guided Tour (9:00 AM)A full morning in UNESCO-listed Fès el-Bali with a certified local guide through 9,000 alleys of the world's largest car-free urban area. Visit the Al-Qarawiyyin mosque (world's oldest university, 859 AD), Bou Inania Madrasa, and artisan quarters.

Chouara TanneriesView the extraordinary medieval tannery from above at the leather merchants' balconies. Watch workers treading hides in colourful dye vats — unchanged since the 11th century.

Lunch: Riad Palais AmaniTerrace lunch at a 19th-century palace in the medina — Fassi cuisine at its finest, with panoramic views of the rooftops.

Afternoon: Meknès & Volubilis Day TripAn optional 1-hour drive to visit Volubilis — Morocco's best-preserved Roman ruins — and the imperial city of Meknès with its monumental Bab Mansour gate.

Morning: Fassi Cooking ClassLearn to cook Pastilla (Morocco's most complex dish — pigeon, almonds, and pastry) with a Fassi chef in their family home. Then eat what you've made for lunch.

Afternoon: Souk ShoppingThe souks of Fès are less touristy than Marrakech and the craftsmanship is extraordinary — inlaid wood (zouak), blue-and-white ceramics, and hand-knotted Fassi carpets.

Sunset: Marinid Tombs ViewpointClimb to the ruins above the medina for the most celebrated view in Morocco — the entire golden bowl of Fès el-Bali glowing in the setting sun.

Morning Transfer to Chefchaouen (1h30m)Private transfer north through the Rif Mountains to Chefchaouen. The town appears suddenly around a mountain bend — a cascade of blue washing down the hillside.

Medina ExplorationWander freely through Chefchaouen's extraordinary blue-washed lanes. Every alley, stairway, door and flower pot is a photograph. The medina is compact enough to fully explore in an afternoon.

Afternoon: Rif Mountain HikeA short hike above the town to the Spanish Mosque ruins for a panoramic view of the entire valley and medina below. One of Morocco's most dramatic viewpoints.

Evening in the Blue StreetsAs the day-trippers leave and golden light floods the medina, Chefchaouen becomes magical. Dinner at a small rooftop restaurant over the blue maze.

Morning Transfer to Rabat (3h)Drive west along the Rif and down to Morocco's royal capital on the Atlantic coast.

Hassan Tower & Mohammed V MausoleumThe unfinished 12th-century minaret that was to be the world's tallest. Beside it, the ornate mausoleum of King Mohammed V — guards in ceremonial dress, exquisite mosaic floors.

Kasbah des OudayasThe 12th-century Almohad kasbah at the mouth of the Bouregreg river — blue-and-white lanes even older than Chefchaouen, with an Andalusian garden and Atlantic views.

Chellah Roman NecropolisA walled garden enclosing Roman ruins and medieval tombs, populated by hundreds of storks nesting on ancient columns. Otherworldly and unforgettable.

Evening: Al-Boraq Train to MarrakechBoard Morocco's high-speed TGV-equivalent from Rabat-Agdal station. Arrive Marrakech in ~3 hours.

Morning: Majorelle GardenThe iconic cobalt garden — worth seeing even if you've visited before, different in every season. YSL Museum next door.

Afternoon: Medina & Bahia PalaceNavigate the grand souks with a guide, and visit the 19th-century Bahia Palace — 150 rooms of extraordinary painted cedar ceilings, marble fountains, and zellij tilework.

Sunset: Jemaa el-Fna RooftopClimb to Café de France or Café Argana for the classic panoramic view as the square ignites at sunset.

Dinner: Le FoundoukOne of Marrakech's most celebrated restaurants in a renovated 18th-century caravanserai — contemporary Moroccan cuisine in a stunning 3-storey riad setting.

Morning: Atlas MountainsA final morning in the High Atlas — early departure for the Ourika Valley, a Berber village breakfast, and a valley walk before the crowds arrive.

Afternoon: Last Souk PassReturn to Marrakech for a final hour in the souk — last-minute shopping and an orange juice at Jemaa el-Fna.

Departure Transfer to RAKPrivate driver collects you at your scheduled time for the short drive to Menara Airport.
