Visit the historic Kasbah, nestled in the heart of the Medina, and explore its peaceful gardens and small museum.
The evening is yours to enjoy, so you might want to relax at your hotel's terrace for stunning views, or head to Place Outa El Hamam square. As night falls, the square comes alive with performers and local musicians, giving you an authentic taste of Chefchaouen's culture.
This afternoon, you'll arrive in Rabat and begin with an orientation tour of Morocco's capital. Start by viewing the Royal Palace, the King's official residence, displaying stunning traditional architecture. Then, marvel at the Hassan Tower, a 12th-century minaret and an iconic symbol of the city's rich history. Finally, visit the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, a beautifully decorated tomb that honours the late King and his sons. Your Local Guide will share insights into the history and significance of these remarkable landmarks.
Say goodbye to Rabat as you embark on a scenic drive through the heart of Morocco. Arriving in the 'Red City' of Marrakesh, you'll instantly feel the buzz of this iconic city, famous for its rich history, bustling souks, and stunning palaces. The city is yours to play with. Bargain for leather bags and lanterns in the souks, grab a mint tea overlooking Jemaa el-Fna or check out the carved courtyards of Bahia Palace.
Fancy a splash of serious colour? Add a Choice Experience to Majorelle Gardens, restored by Yves Saint Laurent, with time to see its famous blue walls and explore the Berber Museum that celebrates Morocco's Amazigh heritage.
Start the day with a Choice Experience to the Ourika Valley, where you'll sip tea with a local Berber family and hear about traditions in the Atlas foothills. Back in Marrakesh, join your Local Guide at Dar El Bacha Museum, a former palace packed with intricate Moroccan design. Continue to the Koutoubia Mosque before hitting the full-on buzz of UNESCO-listed Jemaa el-Fnaa Square. The afternoon is yours, or add a Choice Experience in a vintage sidecar for a fresh spin on the city.
