Pick-up at Tangier airport when your flight lands, with a sign bearing the agency's name, and departure south. First stop is Volubilis with a local guide, along the Decumanus Maximus from the Tangier gate to the Arch of Caracalla, from AD 217.

Day02

Fez, the First Imperial City

Fez → full day → local guide

A guided tour of Fez, the oldest of the imperial cities, founded in the late 8th century. The medina is still organized by trade guilds, the lanes are so narrow that donkeys are the only transport, and among the alleys you'll find the Andalusian quarter, mosques and Quranic schools. This is also home to Al-Qarawiyyin, founded in 859 and one of the oldest universities in the world.

Breakfast and an early start south. It is a long day on the road, with a stop in Casablanca, the country's economic and industrial capital, for a panoramic tour of the city and the Hassan II Mosque, a work of modern Moroccan architecture that took more than 3,000 artisans to build. Going inside is optional. Arrival in Marrakech in the afternoon and check-in at your riad.
