CASABLANCA
The excitement of your personalized tour begins when you first start
planning your trip, even before you land in the Casablanca airport. It will
only start to feel real when you walk out of the airport and see your English
speaking driver, your soon-to-be friend, smiling at you. The drivers are part
of what makes Experience It Tours different…they are always said to be
one of the best parts of the experience because they help you see the real
Morocco.
Your driver will take you to your hotel. As soon as you feel settled, if time
permits, your driver will take you to Hassan II, one of the largest mosques
in the world. Loaded with religious and historical significance, it will awe
you with its sheer size and incredible architecture.
You’ll be able to see the painstakingly designed interior during your guided
tour. The mosque is right on the water, and it has glass flooring in one
section so visitors and worshippers can see the beauty of the Atlantic
below. Smell the salty ocean air as you step out again to take a picture of
the exquisite minaret.
Today you will be driving to Fes with a pause along the way to see the
coastal city of Rabat. Enjoy a delicious Moroccan breakfast before you hit
the road with your driver. Rabat is interesting because it is the capital of
Morocco and the residence of Morocco’s king and explore the city , During
your tour you will learn Rabat’s history and enjoy its beautiful domes,
minarets, wide avenues and green spaces. Your guide will escort you on a
walk around the picturesque Almohad northern walls of the Oudaïa
Kasbah. The kasbah was built by Moulay Ismaïl from 1672-1727 to protect
the city and is enclosed by ramparts dating from the Almohad period. Visit
Bab Oudaïa, a monumental gate and example of Almohad military
architecture. See the Musée de Oudaïa, Moulay Ismaïl’s palace exhibiting
collections of Moroccan folk art. Before moving on to city medina, relax in
the Moorish style Andalusian garden. You’ll have lunch in Rabat before
moving on to the ancient city of Fes. These car rides are a perfect
opportunity to relax, get to know your driver, ask him what he loves the
most about Morocco or get his opinion on what you shouldn’t miss out on
while in country.
This whole day is devoted to exploring the walled in city, or medina, of Fes!
You’ll want to capture every single detail of these bustling streets in your
memory so you can tell your friends and family about this experience of a
lifetime.
You’ll get to touch the smooth blue and white pottery and pass by markets
selling fresh fruit. You’ll hear the call to prayer, reminding the city to carry
out their religious duties. This is a chance to see the real Fes. Your guide
will be happy to offer information and explanation for the stops you’ll
make…satisfying your traveler’s hunger for knowledge!
You probably won’t be that hungry (because the RIGHT way to travel is
tasting every delicious roadside snack), but after winding your way deep
enough into the medina, you’ll get to have lunch at one of the best
restaurants around. Picture so many different types of salad that you can’t
do justice to them, because you still need to save room for your main meal
of a hot tagine or steamed couscous. You’ll go through baskets of fresh
bread , because it’s just that good. And imagine being so full that you
almost can’t think about dessert until you see that it is seasonal fresh fruit,
delicious Moroccan cookies and sugary mint tea.
Some of the other stops you’ll make will be the tanneries, the King’s
Palace, and the potters. Finish off your day by returning to your hotel for a
comfortable evening .
The Roman ruins of Volubilis are 2000 years old and well preserved so you
only have to use a little imagination to get an idea of what it would be like to
have lived in the Roman Empire. The structures as well as the knowledge
of your guide will impress you and make this a stop worth visiting.
You are going to get a peek at what is considered one of the holiest cities in
Morocco. This white and green town holds the tomb of Mulay Idris, who
was a founder of Fes.
After lunch, your guide will take you on a bus tour of Meknes, an imperial
city and UNESCO World Heritage site. Return to your hotel or riad for
dinner and the rest of the evening.
After an early breakfast you will begin your ascent across the Middle Atlas
Mountains. Most of the day will be spent winding your way through the
beautiful forests, jagged rock faces, and Berber villages as you cross the
Atlas Mountains and begin to descend into the Sahara Desert. You’ll be
glad that you have your driver to tell you more about the landscapes you
are passing through. You’ll get to hear his passion for his country. He’ll also
help you make whatever stops you need, whether it’s showing you his
favorite spot on the route for lunch or stopping to take your picture in front
of the Atlas Mountains. Overnight at riad/hotel .
I’m sure you’ll be anticipating your four wheel drive this afternoon out
across the barren land to the majestic Sahara sand dunes. You may have
seen pictures of the Sahara, but its reality is overwhelming. There are
dunes in every direction you look, stretching out as far as you can see with
sharp shadows and soft ripples. Feel the soft sand beneath your toes in the
cool morning, as you look over the sea of golden brown. As evening
approaches, you’ll get to choose a camel to ride out to the Berber tents,
where you have the option of staying the night.
You can wake up and climb a tall dune to watch the sun rise in all its desert
glory. Picture drinking orange juice and eating Moroccan bread out in the
open before you get back on the camel for the journey back. You’ll switch
from a camel to a 4×4 and journey back to Arfoud. From Arfoud, you’ll set
out behind the High Atlas Mountains on route to the Toudgha Gorges.
You’ll get the opportunity to take a walk in the towering (600 feet high)
Toudgha Gorges. The massive walls of pink and grey rock will surround
you on either side. The picturesque river valleys make for a beautiful
journey towards the southeast of Morocco. Overnight in Boumalen Dades .
After an early breakfast you’ll set off to Marrakech via Ouarzazat . You will
visit one of the jewels of Morocco Kasbah Ait Benhaddou. This gathering
of buildings exemplifies southern Moroccan architecture and offers a lot of
history along with beautiful scenery. In typical Moroccan fashion, the true
treasures must be searched out and discovered… usually off the beaten
path.
After lunch, you will head over the High atlas mountains to Marrakech.
You’ll arrive in Marrakech, and see a city that is combining its ancient
heritage with progression towards modern living. Marrakech alone is a
great reason to visit Morocco! It has ranked consistently in TripAdvisor’s
Travelers Choice Best Destinations, including being number 1 in 2015.
The Jama El Fena, the main square in Marrakech, is a piece of the city that
you’ll have to see. Your friends will love hearing about the snake charmer
you see there, the loud music coming from the square at night and the tasty
dried fruit that you sampled at the stalls.
As soon as you leave your riad for your guided tour of this southern pearl of
Morocco, you’ll be back in the bustle of Moroccan city life. This city is filled
with attractions, so it will really be up to you to decide what you want to
experience.
One stop that is incredible is the Bahia Palace. Walk into the tiled courtyard
and feel yourself being transported back to the 19th century. Enjoy the
serenity of the surrounding gardens in the midst of the city.
Another must-see is the site of the Saadian tombs, where royalty from the
Saadian dynasty are buried. You’ll be amazed as you peer into the
intricately designed chambers that these tombs could have been forgotten
about for so long…especially since these days they are one of the most
well-known attractions in Marrakech.
It’s hard to believe you will have experienced all of that in only 10 days.
You’ll return to Casablanca, where you started this adventure in the
beginning. Walk around a little bit! Shop for some souvenirs if you haven’t
picked up enough already. You might need to weigh that suitcase again,
because it will be bursting with small pieces of pottery, new Moroccan
scarves and flavorful spices to try to replicate all the dishes you will soon
be missing.
Our team ensures you will arrive at the airport 2 or 3 hours before your
flight . End of your tour the Magic of Morocco with EPIC TRAVEL
