Tour Overview
In Casablanca we visit the impressive Mosque of Hassan II and the new medina before driving to Rabat - a town of trees, gardens and monumental gateways. Here we visit the suberb Kasbah des Oudayas, the old ruined citadel (Chellah) and see the vast Hassan minaret. Nearby, at Roman Volubilis we view outstanding mosaics before arriving at Meknes, with its lovely old medina, numerous minarets and extensive bazaars.
Fes is a particular focus and we spend three nights here, exploring the medieval city and mixing with the locals at the spa village of Moulay Yacoub. Our final destination is Marrakech, where we stay in an historic 'Riad' and spend a day exploring elegant palaces, bazaars and its vibrant square - the Jemaa el Fna - framed against the snowy peaks of the Atlas Mountains.
