Day 03

Meknes, Volubilis and Fez

After breakfast, we will go to visit the city, which UNESCO designated as a World Heritage Site in 1996 for its representative character as an urban and architectural complex of a seventeenth-century capital of the Maghreb, harmoniously combining elements of Islamic and European design and planning. Then, we will go to the ruins of the Roman city of Volubilis. In Moroccan territory, it is the archaeological site that reminds us of the passage of Rome through this region. Afterwards, we will continue to the wonderful city of Fez, where we will spend the night in a hotel or riad with dinner and breakfast.

Day 04

Guided Visit of Fez Medina

After breakfast, we will start the visit to Fez with a local guide. We will have time to haggle in the endless souks of Fez el-Bali, have a coffee on the terraces of the new Fez, enter old Koranic schools, and contemplate the thousands of artisans performing trades forgotten in Europe. In Fez, you can live your own story of 'The Thousand and One Nights', wrapped in a fantasy world far from everything we consider normal. On a stage composed of djellaba, carpets, and wonderful lamps, Fez offers a special and different adventure. We will have time to discover the wonderful medina. Accommodation in a riad with dinner and breakfast.

Fez to Marrakech via Ifrane, Azrou and Beni Mellal

Today, we will leave for Marrakech, one of the best imperial cities in Morocco and one of the 10 best destinations in the world. The first stop will be in the city of Ifrane, the so-called Switzerland of Morocco, known for its typical northern European-style construction. Then, we will continue to Azrou and its wonderful forest of millenary cedars, where we will also be able to see the monkeys that came from Gibraltar and now live in these forests. On our way, we will cross many Berber villages and take many photos of the beautiful panoramic views. We will arrive in Marrakech in the late evening. Riad accommodation with breakfast.

Marrakech Guided City Tour

You will have time on this day to discover the most beautiful of the imperial cities of Morocco. You can get lost in its medina, the authentic heart of the city, formed by a labyrinth of narrow streets that will surprise us at every corner, and enjoy its unique mix of colours and sensations. We will discover the most representative monuments, such as La Koutoubia, twin of the Giralda of Seville, the Medersa, Bahia Palace, the Majorelle Gardens, the Saadian Tombs, and more. A unique experience awaits as you stroll through Djemaa El Fna square, the living heart of Marrakech: dancers, storytellers, jugglers, artisans, merchants and snake charmers, mosques and minarets, palaces and gardens, souks and bazaars. Overnight at a riad with breakfast.
