4 Days Tour from Casablanca to Fes

Today, your guide will pick you up at the airport, get briefed about your oncoming tour, and be ready to start your adventure.

Welcome to the incredible Casablanca, the largest city in Morocco, often called the White City. Not only does it boast the only high-speed train system on the continent, but it's also home to the largest car manufacturer in Africa.

Your journey is convenient as your private driver will pick you up from your hotel or riad. The welcoming introductory meeting occurs at 8:30 am, but confirm the time with the hotel reception. Consider arriving a day early if your flight aligns differently from the schedule. We're happy to assist you in booking additional accommodation, subject to availability. Should you anticipate a delay, please inform the hotel reception in advance.
During the meeting, we'll collect your insurance details (if any) and next of kin information, so have these readily available. Given the limited free time in Casablanca on this trip, we recommend arriving a day or two early to make the most of your stay. Modeled after Marseille in France, Casablanca is renowned for its art deco buildings and the modern marvel of the Hassan II Mosque.
Explore the city by wandering through the old medina and the city walls. Consider taking a taxi to the Quartiers des Habous, the new medina. Wrap up your day with a leisurely walk along the Corniche, where you can observe locals playing football on the beach or unwind with a refreshing glass of sweet mint tea at one of the many charming cafes.

Begin your day by catching an early morning one-hour train to Rabat, a historical town with a vibrant history. Over the years, Rabat has played host to ancient Roman establishments, pirates, etc, and, more recently, the Moroccan parliament. The city boasts numerous impressive Arab monuments, some dating back to the 10th to 15th century Almohad and Merenid dynasties, while others are older. The earliest known settlement, Sala, is in an area now called the Chellah.
Upon arrival, store your luggage and immerse yourself in the charm of Rabat's old quarter. Stroll through the city before ascending to the Kasbah des Oudaias, where you can savor panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. Later, embark on a train journey to Meknes, spanning approximately 3 hours, followed by a scenic 45-minute  ride through the picturesque countryside to reach the sacred pilgrimage village of Moulay Idriss.
Previously off-limits to non-Muslims, explore the enchanting medina of Moulay Idriss, providing a fascinating glimpse into traditional Moroccan life. Discover where the pilgrim reunites to pay tribute at the tomb of Grand Moulay Idriss I, the great-grandson of Mohammed and the individual credited with introducing Islam to Morocco. As the sun sets, relish breathtaking views over the plains of Volubilis below.
For the night, settle into your accommodation at a hotel/riad, adding a touch of authenticity to your Moroccan experience.

Today, visit the archaeological site of Volubilis with an official guide. World Heritage site The city was once a provincial Roman capital, a distant remnant of the empire, and the remains make an undeniably impressive sight. Upon arrival, take a tour around the ruins with a local guide.

Please pack drinking water, a hat, sunglasses, and sun cream for this tour, as it may get hot and you will be exposed to the sun. And, of course, don’t forget to take your camera as the town is filled with fantastic mosaics along the Decumanus Maximus, many of which remain intact.

After time spent imagining Volubulis as the bustling city it once was, return to the nearby imperial city of Meknes, where you'll have a few hours to explore. In the 17th century, Sultan Moulay Ismail turned Meknes from a provincial town into a spectacular Imperial city, building his version of Versailles.

The adventurous may want to try a camel burger for lunch at a local restaurant in Medina. In the afternoon, take a one-hour train to Fes, where you'll spend the next two nights. Fes is Morocco's spiritual and cultural heart; lively, fascinating, and overwhelming at times – with a vast, well-preserved structure, the Fes medieval old city is the mother of all medinas.
