About the Trip

A classic itinerary for those who want to visit Morocco’s major historic cities in a single trip. More time has been allocated to Fes and Marrakesh, as each requires at least a full day to explore the old city.

Day-by-Day Itinerary

Each day is listed with its main stop and the itinerary for the trip.

Day One

Arrival and Casablanca

Casablanca — Hassan II Mosque and Downtown

Start in Casablanca with a main stop at the Hassan II Mosque, followed by a short tour of downtown. Don't pack too much into the day, as the itinerary will take you through several cities.

Day Two

Rabat and Oudaya

Rabat — Rabat

Travel to Rabat in the morning. Spend some time exploring the Kasbah of the Oudaya, the Hassan Tower, and the area around the historic center, then enjoy a comfortable night’s stay before heading to Meknes.

Day Three

Meknes and Oulili

Meknes — Meknes and the site of Volubilis

Explore Meknes, then visit the archaeological site of Volubilis in the afternoon. Afterward, continue on to Fez or stay overnight at a nearby location, depending on your schedule.

Day 4

Fes el-Bali

Fez — The Old City

Set aside a full day for Fez el-Bali. Focus on the markets, crafts, and historic schools, and don't add another city to your itinerary for that same day.

Day 5

Fez II, then the trip

Fez — Fez ← Marrakesh

Spend the morning catching up on what you missed in Fez, then head to Marrakesh in the way that best suits your budget and schedule. Set aside the evening to rest after you arrive.

Day Six

Old Marrakech

Marrakech — The Old City and Jemaa el-Fnaa

A full day in Marrakech: the markets, historical landmarks, alleys, and Jemaa el-Fna Square. It’s best to split the day between the morning and the afternoon, with a break in between.

The Seventh Day

Marrakech at a Leisurely Pace

Marrakech — Marrakech

The last day is flexible: a park, a museum, a Moroccan hammam, or more time at the markets, then getting ready to leave without any pressure.
