6 DAYS DESERT TOUR FROM CASABLANCA

Your journey starts with a pickup at Casablanca's Mohammed V International Airport and continues with a sightseeing tour of Rabat and Chefchaouen on the first day. We will visit the Hassan II Mosque, a famous architectural wonder and one of the biggest mosques in the world, as part of our city tour. Our next destination is Rabat, the capital of Morocco, where we will get the chance to view the Oudayas Kasbah and Hassan Tower, two of the country's most recognizable structures.

Chefchaouen, a lovely town in northern Morocco set in the breathtaking Rif Mountains, is our next destination. On an incredible journey, we will soon be traveling there.

Traveling from Rabat to Chefchaouen takes four hours and takes you through stunning landscapes of verdant hills, charming villages, and spectacular views. After you've settled into your lodging, you'll have plenty of time to see Chefchaouen's many sights.

We will visit Chefchaouen, well known as the "blue city," today before continuing on to Fes. There is a warm welcome and beautiful bluewashed architecture in the old medina of the city. Take a spin over the northern slope's maze of back roads and narrow passages. Take a leisurely stroll around the main square, square Outa el-Hammam, and stop at some of the cafés and eateries in the area.

Then, go to the city walls by climbing the hill. Take a leisurely stroll to Hotel Atlas and make your way to the rooftop for a breathtaking view. To go to the white Spanish Mosque, you'll need to take a side trip to the east. A stunning view of the setting sun behind the mountains (20 to 30 minutes distant) awaits you after a little climb up the hill. We will depart for Fes in the late afternoon and spend the night in a beautiful riad.
