Package Overview

Travel is the movement of people between relatively distant geographical locations, and can involve travel by foot, bicycle, automobile, train, boat, bus, airplane, or other means, with or without luggage, and can be one way or round trip. Travel can also include relatively short stays between successive movements.

Journey beyond the veil of ordinary travel and into the heart of Morocco’s royal legacy. This 8-day caravan from Casablanca to Marrakesh is a masterclass in contrasts—where Roman ruins meet bustling souks, and spiritual capitals give way to botanical gardens stained with Yves Saint Laurent’s blue. From the Atlantic coast to the Atlas foothills, you will walk the same medinas as sultans, touch the mosaics of ancient Volubilis, and lose yourself in the hypnotic rhythm of Jamaa El Fna. This is not just a trip; it is an invitation to discover the soul of the Imperial Cities.

Highlights

  • Hassan II Mosque: Stand in awe at the exterior of Casablanca’s ocean-front architectural marvel
  • Volubilis & Meknes: Walk through Roman ruins then marvel at the 40km walls of the Ismailian capital.
  • Fez’s Medieval Medina: Get lost in a labyrinthine UNESCO world heritage site, home to the world’s oldest university.
  • Majorelle Garden: Experience the surreal blue garden once owned by Yves Saint Laurent in Marrakesh.
  • Jamaa El Fna Square: Witness storytellers, snake charmers, and food stalls as the sun sets over the Red City.
