Imperial Cities Circuit6 days from Tangier

Day by day

1. Day 01

   Tangier – Volubilis – Meknes – Fez

   Pick-up at Tangier Airport upon your flight’s arrival, with a sign bearing our agency’s name, Unique Morocco Experience. (If the flight arrives at night, this visit will take place the following day.)

   Begin the journey toward Volubilis, heading to Fez. First stop in Volubilis to visit its Roman ruins, including the main street, Decumanus Maximus, which starts at the Tangier gate and ends at the Arch of Triumph of Caracalla from 217 AD. This street is paved and surrounded by spacious, decorated houses.

   Stop for a lunch along the way and continue to Meknes, one of the Imperial Cities that became the capital of Morocco under the reign of Moulay Ismail.

   We will explore its medina, El-Hedim Square, and the famous Bab Al Mansour gate, probably the most beautiful in Morocco.

   In the afternoon, arrive in Fez for room assignments and overnight at the riad.

2. Day 02

   Fez – Fez (CiTY TOUR)

   Breakfast and guided tour in Fez, the first of the Imperial Cities, whose origins date back to the 8th century. It is also one of the first holy cities of Muslim worship in Morocco and proudly hosts one of the oldest universities in the world.

   As we enter the streets of its medina (old city), we will feel as if time has turned back: the guild structure is still present in the work, the narrowness of its streets only allows donkeys as a means of transport, and a constant buzz of people moves through the labyrinthine alleys, where we will be surprised by neighborhoods like the Andalusians and magnificent mosques and Quranic schools.

   Accommodation in a riad in the medina.

3. Day 03

   Fez – Casablanca – Marrakech

   Our adventure begins from Fez. Breakfast and departure toward Marrakech. Today’s journey promises to be calm.

   Our first stop will be in Casablanca, the industrial and economic capital of the country.

   We will take a panoramic tour of the city, highlighting the Hassan II Mosque, a masterpiece of modern Moroccan architecture, which involved over 3,000 artisans (entrance optional).

   We will arrive in Marrakech in the afternoon, where we will stay in the riad.

4. Day 04

   Marrakech (City Tour)

   After breakfast, our local guide will pick you up from the hotel to begin the grand tour of the Marrakech Medina.

   You will explore Marrakech’s most exciting and significant places, such as the Koutoubia Mosque, Ben Youssef Madrasa, and Majorelle Gardens.

   In the afternoon, you will have some free time to relax and then head out to the Jamaa el Fna square to stroll and enjoy the magical atmosphere of the evening in this iconic place.

   The accommodation is in a riad with breakfast.

5. Day 05

   Marrakech – Rabat

   After breakfast, we will depart for Rabat, the administrative capital of the country and one of the Imperial Cities, as well as the official residence of the royal family.

   Rabat is an important and beautiful city that emanates tranquility and elegance. We will enjoy a lunch during the journey.

   Upon arriving in Rabat, we will visit its main points of interest, such as the Hassan Tower, an unfinished mosque that dominates the square with more than 200 columns, and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, built in honor of the sultan who achieved the country’s independence, where the royal guard, in colorful ceremonial uniforms, guards the entrance to the monument on horseback.

   After room assignments, we will have the afternoon free to stroll through the medina, the Kasbah of the Udayas, and the waterfront along the Bouregreg River.
