A Family Adventure
Trip Itinerary
Arrive in Casablanca, meet your guide, and transfer to your hotel.
Discover the port city of Casablanca on a guided tour that includes a visit to the enormous Hassan II Grand Mosque, which juts out over the top of the Atlantic Ocean. At night, lasers shine from the top of its minaret, which is the tallest of its kind in the world. See the colorful Habous Market.
Later, journey overland to Fez and on to your hotel, a traditional riad originally built for the noble Fassi family. Enjoy the rest of your day at leisure or begin exploring this bustling imperial city as a family.
Explore the timeless charm of Fez el-Bali, Morocco’s cultural epicenter. Wander through its ancient medina’s narrow streets, vibrant souks, and visit the historic Karaouine University. Step into a 14th-century marvel at the Attarine Madrasa.
Take a guided walk from Bab Boujloud to Maimonides’ former home and the mosaic-adorned Nejjarine fountain. Satisfy your sweet tooth with Fez’s renowned nougat and craft your own drum with a master artisan. Embrace the rhythm of Morocco during an entertaining drumming session.
Spend the morning baking up a storm with a dada (traditional family cook), who teaches you how to make traditional Moroccan bread and cookies. The best part: enjoying your creations. The afternoon is yours at leisure, free to relax or explore Fez on your own.
After breakfast, head to Volubilis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its well-preserved Roman ruins, including arches, basilicas, and captivating mosaic floors. Explore tales of Orpheus charming animals with his lyre and Amphitrite riding a seahorse-drawn chariot.
Next, visit Meknes, another UNESCO World Heritage Site, and an imperial city of Morocco with grand monuments harking back to its 17th-century origins, rivaling Louis XIV’s France. Finally, journey to Rabat and your charming hotel, with time for a refreshing swim in the pool.
Join your private guide for a city tour highlighting Rabat’s cultural influences and the superbly preserved relics of its Moorish past. See the powerful red-orange Hassan Tower, built in 1195 atop a bluff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
The tower is located next to a mausoleum dedicated to Mohamed V, the founder of modern Morocco and grandfather of the current king. Travel overland to Marrakech, the “Pearl of the South,” and arrive at your sprawling luxury resort lined with trees and fountains.
Today, uncover Marrakech’s treasures as you embark on a guided tour of its historic medina. Marvel at architectural wonders like the Koutoubia mosque’s majestic minaret, a pinnacle of Islamic design in North Africa.
Have some playful moments at the Ali Baba Cave shop, where you can dress in exquisite Moroccan attire and enjoy a glamorous photoshoot in the medina. Later, immerse yourself in the vibrant Djemaa el-Fna square, bustling with vendors, fire-eaters, snake charmers, and musicians. Explore the enchanting souks, filled with unique souvenirs, in this legendary labyrinth.
Join a chef for a culinary odyssey that begins in a little garden on a farm just outside the city. Pick your own vegetables, join your chef for a tagine cooking lesson, and then walk to a nearby Berber village to try mint tea at a local house. Return to the farm to enjoy the lunch you prepared.
Next, choose from four adventurous options: a tour of exotic Moroccan gardens and lily-covered pools; a thrilling ATV tour by Lalla Takaskoust lake; a magical camel ride through the palm grove; or a bike ride around the city’s ancient ramparts.
