6-Nights Cities of Northern Morocco - Tailormade Journeys — CALL

Itinerary Details

1 Arrive Casablanca, Morocco

Situated on Morocco’s Atlantic coast, Casablanca pulses with a modern energy, yet whispers of its romantic past — immortalized in the classic Humphrey Bogart movie — still linger. Touch down, settle in and relax.

Discover the fascinating city of Casablanca, visiting the magnificent Hassan II Grand Mosque, one of the two mosques that can be visited in Morocco. The mosque is amongst the largest in the world and can house as many as 25,000 worshipers. Its minaret is the tallest religious structure in the world. Stroll the Quartier Habbous to explore a modern version of a medina. Afterward, board a TGV (bullet) train to Tangier.

Once a hub of wartime espionage, Tangier maintains its timeless mystique — a fascinating Moroccan city with a sense of exotic mystery, interesting history, beautiful vistas, unspoiled beaches and friendly people. Drive to the Kasbah Museum, where you can stroll the traditional courtyard and admire the large mosaics and other artworks on display. After the visit, soak up the atmosphere of the Old Medina including the Market, one of the most colorful and bustling areas, and the Grand Socco (Souk). Drive to Cap Spartel, one of the promontories projecting into the water where the Atlantic Ocean meets Mediterranean Sea.

Venture out to Chefchaouen, Morocco’s “Blue City,” located just a few hours away from Tangier. Marvel how its streets and most of the buildings in the medina are painted a most brilliant sky blue, with clear mountain light adding a magical touch. Continue to Fez, an imperial city located between the Rif and Middle Atlas Mountains, revered as the spiritual and political heart of the country.

Step back in time to the Middle Ages when you visit one of the most imperial, timeless and untouched cities in the world: Fez el-Bali (Old Fez), the cultural heart of Morocco. Also visit Fez el-Jedid (New Fez), built by the Merinid Dynasty in the 13th century. Here you see the Royal Palace, mosques, madrasas (Koranic schools), souks and the city wall. Unwind and bond with the locals by taking part in a pottery workshop.

Journey to Volubilis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to some of the best-preserved Roman ruins in North Africa. Venture to a local winery near Meknes for a memorable lunch set among the region’s sunbathed vineyards and olive groves and made from locally sourced, organic ingredients. Continue to Rabat, the capital of Morocco, and view the 12th-century Moorish Hassan Tower.

Embark on a morning city tour which highlights Rabat's cultural influences and the superbly preserved relics of its Moorish past. Rabat's most famous site is the 12th Century Hassan Tower, an excellent example of Moorish architecture which stands over an incomplete mosque. Return to Casablanca to board your departing flight.
