This affordable Morocco tour provides a fantastic introduction to the country's Imperial Cities, with busy medinas and amazing historic sites to explore and great opportunities to try local Moroccan cuisine.
Starting and finishing in Casablanca, the tour includes explorations of the old town of Rabat, the walled city of Meknes, and the amazing Roman ruins at the World Heritage Site of Volubolis. We also head to Fez to explore the mazy streets of its bustling Medina, a must-see on any visit to Morocco. Next we drive to the popular city of Marrakech with the Atlas Mountains in the background and explore its busy souqs and famous Djema el Fna Square, as well as several other historic sites. There is free time in Marrakech to explore the souqs and gardens further, or take a day trip up to see the waterfalls and views in the Ourika Valley in the Altas foothills.
The tour then finishes back in Casablanca, though you may finish and stay on in Marrakech if you prefer.
Accommodation is in comfortable mid-range hotels, with upgrades available to a higher Superior level on request. Our Imperial Cities tour is a similar version of this tour, following the same itinerary but starting and finishing in Marrakech and also adding in a stop at the coastal town of Esssaouira.
If our scheduled departure dates don't work for you, or you would prefer not to travel with a group, then we can also run this tour privately for you and customise the itinerary and accommodation to suit your personal requirements. Please contact us for more information and prices.
