Experience the magic of Morocco, where history, culture, and stunning landscapes come together in perfect harmony. Your journey begins in Tangier, a vibrant city where Africa meets Europe, before heading to Fes, a place that feels like stepping back in time with its maze-like medina, ancient madrassas, and bustling souks. As you travel through the breathtaking Middle Atlas Mountains, you’ll pass through Ifrane, a charming town often called “Little Switzerland” for its alpine feel. Then, in Marrakech, the city’s energy will sweep you away—from the lively Jemaa el-Fna Square, filled with storytellers and street performers, to the magnificent Bahia Palace and the historic Saadian Tombs. If you’re craving a touch of nature, an optional trip to the Ourika Valley will take you through the serene Atlas Mountains, where traditional Berber villages and cascading waterfalls await. Finally, wrap up your adventure in Casablanca, a city that blends modern elegance with coastal charm, leaving you with unforgettable memories of Morocco’s beauty and warmth.

Day 1: Arrival and Tangier City Tour

Upon arrival, meet and assist by our tour leader (depending on availability). City tour of Tangier, the gateway to Africa, then departure to Fes. Lunch en route.

Dinner and overnight at the hotel.

Day 2: Sightseeing in Fes

Founded at the end of the 8th century, Fes offers the best example of a well-preserved medieval medina. Wandering through its labyrinth of alleyways, where donkeys and mules remain the primary means of transport, you will discover madrasas, caravanserais, and souks, showcasing the Hispano-Moorish architectural style.

Visit the Bou Inania Madrasa, the Nejjarine Fondouk, the impressive tanneries, and the Mausoleum of Moulay Idriss II, the city’s founder. You will also get a glimpse of the Karaouine Mosque, where Pope Sylvester II studied Arabic numerals (especially the concept of zero) and where renowned scholars once taught, including the Jewish physician Maimonides, the mathematicians Al-Khwarizmi (algorithm) and Al-Jabr (algebra), as well as the sociologist Ibn Khaldun.

In the afternoon, enjoy a tour of the ramparts, including a drive along the fortified walls surrounding the old medina. Visit the Royal Palace’s grand gate, dating back to the 13th century, and end the day at a renowned ceramics factory.

Dinner and overnight at the hotel.

Day 3: Fes to Marrakech

Depart for Marrakech, crossing the Middle Atlas Mountains. Stop at Ifrane, a charming ski resort known for its impressive cedar forests, Swiss-style chalets, and elegant mansions. Founded by the French in 1929, this picturesque town is home to stunning waterfalls and natural lakes.
