8 Days Tour From Casablanca To Explore Imperial Morocco

Barely a few hours of flight, and here you are in Casablanca! This is the opportunity, before hitting the road to Rabat with your rental car, to discover the Hassan II mosque, the only one in Morocco that non-Muslims can visit. On arrival in the Moroccan capital, we take our ease in a riad with Arab-Andalusian charm. The address is ideal for setting the mood for the Morocco of yesteryear… Rabat has marvelous dynastic vestiges: its Oudayas kasbah, ocher, blue and white, its imposing Chellah necropolis, its emblematic Hassan tower … There is plenty to keep you busy for several hours, still allowing yourself a break at the Moorish café. This institution, located in the heart of the kasbah, is the perfect setting to sip a mint tea.

Before joining Fez, review your Moroccan history. Mausoleum decorated with fountains and zelliges, monumental doors and emerald minaret: no doubt, Meknes is an imperial city! Often forgotten by tourists, although registered with UNESCO, it does not lack charm or authenticity. Further north, we go back even further in time amidst the Roman ruins and mosaics set in the bucolic setting of Volubilis. Fez is the third imperial city of your trip and perhaps the prettiest. It takes two full days to discover the best of the city and its medina, one of the largest and oldest in the Maghreb. In its maze of alleys hide mosques, princely gardens and ancient palaces. We discover an exceptional craftsmanship, with a crush on its neighborhood of tanners. A bouquet of mint under your nose, to better withstand the smell, you go up on the terraces of the leatherworkers to admire the hard work of leather.

Let's go for a long day on the road ... but the mountainous landscapes that you will cross will be a superb reward! Along the Middle Atlas, you will pass through Ifrane, with its European flair, then through Azrou and its cedar forest. You can also take a lunch break at Khénifra, located halfway through. Upon arrival in Ouzoud, a traditional riad awaits you, just a few minutes' walk from the falls. Take the time to discover this natural site, one of the most beautiful in Morocco: amazing waterfalls falling from a height of 110 meters, surrounded by magots monkeys. A natural interlude that feels good ... If you want to enjoy it all day long, your riad offers the services of a mountain guide for a walk with a picnic.

Once in Marrakech, it's time to return your vehicle and take full advantage of the last imperial city of this trip. You will be charmed by its historic vestiges: the Koutoubia minaret to admire day and night, the Bahia palace with its sweet mosaics, the Ben Youssef madrassah which has crossed so many dynasties ... Marrakech is also peaceful space green such as the Menara garden… or blue, like the Majorelle garden. If the presence of a guide is not compulsory to visit the monuments of Marrakech, that of a resident is however strongly recommended to get off the beaten track! We offer you a sidecar ride with an expatriate who knows the city (almost) by heart, who will make you discover his favorite neighborhoods and give you many explanations on the customs and habits of the Marrakchis.
