What happens if my flight arrives late on Day 1 after 10:30 PM?

The hotel restaurant closes at 10:30 PM, and dinner cannot be served in your room. We strongly recommend eating a snack or meal at the airport before your transfer, or you may order room service at your own expense if available.

Are the optional lunches worth it, and what is "FB Basis"?

Yes, the optional lunches (Full Board basis) take you to authentic local restaurants—like a traditional Moroccan restaurant inside the Fez Medina or an old palace in Marrakesh. They are highly recommended for the cultural experience, though not mandatory.

The itinerary says "In case of bad weather, modify via Khenifra." How will I know which route we take?

Your driver and guide will decide that morning based on road safety reports. If snow or heavy rain blocks the Ifrane/Immouzer route, you will travel via Khenifra. Both routes offer scenic views, just different landscapes.

Is there free time for shopping?

Absolutely. Day 7 offers a full morning at leisure in Marrakesh specifically for shopping at the souks around Jamaa El Fna. Additionally, evenings after tours usually allow free time to explore near your hotels.

Do I need to cover my head or arms when visiting the Hassan II Mosque or Mausoleums?

While the itinerary only includes exterior views of the Hassan II Mosque and Royal Palace, you should dress modestly (shoulders and knees covered) when visiting the Oudaya Kasbah, Mohamed V Mausoleum, and any religious sites. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for Fez’s Medina.

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.
