Mosques, Ancient Ruins, and Holy Cities amid Deserts and Oases

Though the rolling dunes of the Sahara Desert are a common sight in Morocco, the country has quite a varied landscape—Casablanca has a rugged coastline, and the Atlas Mountains surround fertile valleys. On this 8-day guided tour of Morocco, you’ll see some of the country’s natural beauty as you travel between four major cities: Casablanca, Rabat, Fez, and Marrakech. To see the full itinerary and more information about optional excursions, click here; a video about the tour can be seen here. This trip includes:

  • Round-trip airfare from New York (alternate departure dates/gateways may be available for additional fee; please call 800-682-3333 to inquire about your specific travel needs)

Days 1–4: Rabat and Fez

An overnight flight from New York brings you into Casablanca, Morocco’s largest city. You’ll get a chance to see Casablanca on the final days of this tour; for now, you’ll head about an hour north to the capital city of Rabat. On a guided tour, you’ll pay a visit to the royal palace and the ruins of an ancient Roman village.

The tour then travels on to nearby Fez, which you explore on your own for a full day. An optional dinner and show (extra fees) feature traditional Moroccan cuisine accompanied by bellydancing.

Days 5–6: Marrakech

The drive from Fez to Marrakech takes a full day, but it’s a beautiful trip—you’ll pass the Atlas Mountains, lush valleys, and dry flatlands along the way, with plenty of rest stops and a lunch break in the town of Beni Mellal. That evening, take a short bus tour of Marrakech before turning in at your hotel.

The next morning, you’ll explore the Saadian Tombs, a royal burial ground dating back to the 16th century. On a half-day city tour, you’ll also get a chance to shop for Moroccan herbs and spices. The tour ends at the medina, an ancient walled section of the city where local artisans sell their crafts and local pranksters superglue one-dirham coins to the sidewalk.

Days 7–8: Casablanca

A three-hour drive brings you back to Casablanca, where you’ll visit the seaside area and explore the grounds of Hassan II Mosque—the second-largest mosque in the world. The Place Mohammed V is packed with government buildings that date back to the 1920s and 1930s and is characterized by beautiful mosaics and arches.That evening, you’ll enjoy a farewell dinner with your tour group at a seaside restaurant.
