Welcome to Morocco! Upon arrival at the Casablanca airport, you will meet our local tour leader and driver who will transfer you to your accommodation and provide a brief review of your tour.

If you arrive in the early morning we will start our Casablanca tour by visiting the Hassan 2 mosque, the cornish of Ain diab, and the united nations square.
The coastal area of Morocco that is now the huge financially focused city of Casablanca started life as a Berber settlement. Berbers first lived in the area around 10 BC. They created a port and the area was known as Anfa. Phoenicians and Romans later realised the area’s potential, operating port activities from the coast. Indeed, the Romans enlarged the port and established trading routes with the south of Mauritani.
After many years of Roman rule, a different Berber community moved to the area. The Berber kingdom was called Barghawata. Berbers lived close to Anfa again from around 740 AD, with the kingdom growing and gaining strength, eventually capturing the city in 1068 AD. Anfa was then under the control of the Almoravid dynasty. It continued life as a significant port, with the Marinids strengthening the port’s connections in the 14th century.
As Anfa’s port became more important, the area started to attract pirates and other nefarious characters. The Portuguese subsequently destroyed the area in the late 1460s and later (in 1515) established a military fortress on the coast, opposite the port. The Portuguese originally called the surrounding area Casa Branca (White House), though this was later changed to the Spanish Casablanca due to unions between Portugal and Spain. The bastion, known as Scala (or Sqala), dates back to the Portuguese era, with the Portuguese responsible for the early beginnings of the medina in Casablanca.
After numerous attacks from local tribal groups, the Portuguese left the area in around 1755. It is thought that an earthquake was the deciding factor in the Portuguese abandoning Casablanca for good.

After exploring Casablanca, we will head to Rabat
Rabat was founded as an Berber/amazigh army outpost in the 12th century andto start a sightseeing tour of the main capital. given the generic name for military encampment, Ribat, which is still in use today.
For centuries, Rabat and Salé were rival principalities, but eventually Rabat began to dominate the area. Salé's power was ultimately eclipsed altogether by its larger neighbor.
In the early 17th century, Rabat became a center of anti-European piracy, with its stronghold at the Kasbah des Oudaias.
Rabat was first made a modern capital in 1912 by Morocco's French overlords and remained the nation's capital after independence in 1956. The city is the residence of Morocco's royal family.
We will enjoy touring Hassan Tower as a 12th Century mosque that was collapsed by Lisbon earthquake. You will have the chance to vist the ornamented mausoleum of Mohamed V and Hassan II. The building is considered a masterpiece of modern Alaouite dynasty architecture, with its white silhouette, topped by a typical green tiled roof. You will also reach the old Oudayyas Kasbah at the side of Bou Regreg River. This fortification was built as a military defense in the 12th century by the Almohads dynasty.
After Rabat City Tour we will continue our journey to Chefchaouen:
Chefchaouen has very diverse tourist attractions including museums, parks, and several hotels. A few of these include:
- Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions: This museum exhibits traditional Moroccan crafts such as pottery and woodcarving. The museum also includes an interesting collection of musical instruments from around the world.
- National Botanical Garden: This garden contains over 3,500 species of plants from all over Africa and Asia including cacti from Chile and Australia! You can even see a giant sequoia tree here if you visit during late winter/early spring when it blooms with bright pink flowers!

Chefchaouen Morocco is known for its distinctive blue walls and buildings, which give it its name. These walls were originally white but were painted blue by Spanish Muslims who had settled there in the 1800s. This practice continued until 1973 when they were repainted white by order of King Hassan II.
Today Chefchaouen Morocco serves as a major tourist destination for travelers from around the world who come to experience its rich history as well as enjoy its beautiful landscape.
Chefchaouen attracts tourists from all around the world because of its unique architecture, which is influenced by Spanish colonialists who settled here during the 16th century. The cobblestone streets are decorated with brightly colored doors and windows painted with intricate designs.
But what makes this place truly unique is its blue-painted walls—a tradition dating back to when Muslim families began moving into these hills during the 17th century. The blue walls represent purity and happiness, so it's no wonder that this vibrant city has become such an attraction for tourists all over!
It's a picturesque town nestled in the Rif Mountains for a private tour through the rambling medina (old town), where streets, doors and buildings are painted in brilliant blues. This city has a powerful charm that you really can feel in the Outa-el-Hammam square, in the cobblestone medina. Sit on the terrace of a cafe and take in the view of the grand Tarik-Ben-Ziad mosque whose octagonal minaret is inspired by that of the Torre de Oro in Seville. This Andalousian architecture can be found in the kasbah and its gardens, at the center of the medina. Its walls and its 11 crenellated towers, of which one used to be a dungeon, house an interesting ethnographic museum. The souks are decorated with their traditionally dressed inhabitants boasting their straw hats.

2. The ceramics in Fes are some of the best in the world, and you can find them all over town.
3. The architecture is something out of a dream: check out the Tanneries' Palace, which was built in 1722 and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site!

Although the political capital of Morocco was transferred to Rabat in 1912, Fes has retained its status as the country's Artisan center. Artisan workshops in the medina are as active today as they were 100 years ago and strongly contribute to the city’s industrial economy. Trades such as blacksmithing, leather working, ceramics, silk, carpentry, and sculpting are still practiced in these workshops today. The original ramparts still protect this ancient city and its estimated 9000 narrow passageways and bustling streets. After the exciting tour, you will be back at the hotel for the overnight.
