Casablanca's main attraction is the relatively modern and monumental Hassan II Mosque. Inaugurated in 1993, it sits on an outcrop jutting into the Atlantic and offers breathtaking views. It has a 690 feet (210 m) minaret— the tallest structure in Morocco and the tallest minaret in the world.

2 stops
Meals: breakfast
Accommodation: We Choice Upon Availability Hotel or Traditional Riad

Hassan Tower

After breakfast, Venture north to the imperial city, and present-day capital, of Rabat (Meknes, Fes, and Marrakech) make up the remaining imperial cities). Explore the medieval fortification of the Chellah Necropolis and wander the Roman and Islamic ruins. Enter through the grand door of the Kasbah des Oudaias into Rabat's original city centre. From there, visit the 20th-century Andalusian Gardens and enjoy the serene space away from the crowds. Discover the Hassan Tower, a minaret of the incomplete mosque and Mausoleum of Mohamed V. A 12th-century project that was abandoned soon after construction began.

Asilah Medina

After visiting the imperial city of Rabat we will start driving to Asilah Once in the city, we will visit the medina of Asilah to discover its important historical and monumental heritage. This fortified area next to the Atlantic still houses vestiges of the Portuguese domination of the 15th century. This heritage has left traces on the old ramparts and the Raisuni Palace, a privileged witness of the events that the city went through. Overnight in a Hotel or Traditional Riad

Day 3: Tangier ⇨ Sightseeing

1 stop
Meals: breakfast
Accommodation: We Choice Upon Availability Hotel or Traditional Riad

Medina of Tangier

After breakfast, explore Tangier, which is a major entry point from Europe to Morocco, with many recent additions to improve the city as a tourist destination, including a new marina area (a nice place for a quick walk), and the Medina area. The Tangier Kasbah (fortified castle) is small and compact enough to allow for a self-guided and easy walk by following the various signs. Enter through Bab Haha and enter Place du Mechouar. If you’d like, you can pay for a guide to tour with you. About 15-20 minutes away from the city, you can also visit Cap Spartel and the Cave of Hercules, which takes about 1 hour to fully enjoy. The cave's outline, when seen against the Atlantic skyline, is thought to resemble that of the African continent. Find a café in the hip Zoco Chico square for something to eat and do a little people-watching and cap off the day with a late afternoon paseo to enjoy the sunset as you stroll along the seafront promenade of the bustling corniche. Overnight in Tangier

Day 4: Tangier ⇨ Tetouan ⇨ Chefchaouen

2 stops
Meals: breakfast
Accommodation: We Choice Upon Availability Hotel or Traditional Riad

Tetouan

In the morning, have breakfast and then make your way towards Chefchaouen. On the way, you’ll pass through Tetouan, which is a jewel of a town in a striking location at the foot of the Rif Mountains, just a few kilometres from the sea. The ancient medina, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, looks like it has not changed in several centuries. You will be able to tour this town on your own with recommendations from your driver. Lunch will be at your leisure.

Chefchaouen Medina

Continuing on, you will arrive in Chefchaouen, a visual delight clad in blue walls, doors, windows, stairways, alleyways, and archways–everything is a combination of soft, pastel sky blue and deeper, more powerful hues. After your check-in at your riad, you are free to explore the town at your own pace or simply relax. Outa el Hammam is the main square and the place to watch the world go by. Walk up the tiny higgledy-piggledy alleys, away from the more tourist-orientated areas, and you will find the everyday life of the town comes alive. Ask your driver if you want any recommendations. Dinner will be on your own. Overnight in a Hotel or Traditional Riad

Day 5: Tour Chefchaouen and hiking in the Rif Mountains

2 stops
Meals: breakfast
Accommodation: We Choice Upon Availability Traditional Riad

Chefchaouen

After breakfast, Take note of Chefchaouen's blue buildings, which glow in the morning light. Make sure to wake up early to watch the sunrise over the mountains from the nearby Spanish mosque. Since many shops don't open until 10 am, you can take this time to wander the serene town.

Cascades d'Akchour

Then, you’ll depart for a hike in the Rif Mountains. Here, you’ll get the chance to explore the wilderness among the cedar trees and can hike to the Cascades d’Akchour, a stunning waterfall that will warrant plenty of photos. You’ll also encounter smaller waterfalls along the way, and depending on the weather, you can take a refreshing dip. On the other side of the river, you can take the steep path to God’s Bridge, a natural rock formation. Or, you can follow the canyon to view the bridge from below. Once back in Chefchaouen, visit the medina and surround yourself with the beauty of the town. Take a walk to the market, where you can buy some fresh fruit to enjoy, and then people watch the local passersby dressed in bright-coloured traditional garb.

Day 6: Chefchaouen ⇨ Volubilis ⇨ Meknes ⇨ Fes

3 stops
Meals: breakfast
Accommodation: We Choice Upon Availability of Traditional Riad

Volubilis

Today, you will say goodbye to Chefchaouen and travel south to Fes. On the way to Fes, you’ll visit Volubilis is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that contains Morocco's best-preserved Roman ruins. You can take a nice break from driving to wander the massive complex, exploring large merchant homes with visible heating systems, temples, and many well-preserved mosaics. There are usually guides available here to hire on your own if you would like, and your driver can assist you with this.

Moulay Idriss

Then, it is over to Moulay Idriss, which from a distance, looks like a sitting camel. Moulay Idriss was founded in 789 CE by Moulay Idriss after he had fled religious and tribal conflicts in Mecca. It was here that he founded the Idrisid dynasty, making Moulay Idriss Morocco's first Islamic capital and a site of ongoing cultural significance. The city also contains the only round minaret in Morocco. You can eat lunch here, or wait to eat at the next stop

Meknes Medina

The last stop before Fes is the prosperous city of Meknes. It has a smaller medina than Fes and you can explore at a leisurely pace, without worrying about aggressive shopkeepers. Your driver will lead you through the Ville Impériale area, where you can see gardens, palaces, the impressive gate of Bab al-Mansour, the Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail, and the Royal Stables. Many of these palaces were constructed with materials taken from Volubilis, so be on the lookout for Roman columns hidden in unexpected places! You’ll end the day in Fes, one of Morocco's four imperial cities. Fes was founded by Moulay Idriss I and was made the capital of the Idrisid dynasty by his successor, Moulay Idriss II. You will be taken to your riad in the Fes medina, and the late afternoon into the evening will be yours.

Day 7: Fes ⇨ Sightseeing

1 stop

Here, you can take a brief detour to the scenic Cèdre Gouraud Forest, where troops of Barbary Macaque monkeys lounge in ancient cedar trees near the road. You’ll stop for lunch in Midelt, which sits on a cold, high desert plateau. Despite the harsh landscape, Midelt is known as Morocco's "Apple City" for its productive orchards.

Along the way, you'll notice nomadic shepherds and some tents in this area. Near Merzouga, you can take a short break as you prepare for the trip to your desert camp. If you ride a camel, you will arrive at camp just before sunset. You can climb up to watch the colourful sunset reflecting on the sand dunes.
