- Logical loop with two nights in the key places — no daily packing
A culture and history route through the imperial cities and the blue mountain town. The loop is logical, so you are not repacking every morning: two nights in each of the places that deserve them, and Casablanca at both ends for the widest choice of nonstop flights.
Day by day
Day 1
Casablanca
Airport welcome at CMN, the Hassan II Mosque from the seafront, and a calm first night after your flight.
Day 2
Rabat
The Kasbah of the Udayas, Chellah and the Royal Palace gates with a licensed guide, at the capital's unhurried pace.
Day 3
Drive to Chefchaouen
North through the Rif mountains to the blue city, arriving in time for the evening light in the upper lanes.
Day 4
Chefchaouen
The medina early, before the day-trippers arrive, the Spanish Mosque viewpoint, and a slow afternoon in the blue streets.
Day 5
Drive to Fes
Across the Rif and down to Fes, with time to settle into your riad before dinner.
Day 6
Fes
A full guided day in the medina with a guide who grew up in it: tanneries, medersas, craft workshops, and a cooking class if you would like one.
Day 7
Volubilis and Meknes, night in Rabat
Roman mosaics at Volubilis, the imperial gates and granaries of Meknes, then on to Rabat for the night.
Day 8
Casablanca
Down the coast to Casablanca: the Habous quarter, the corniche and a farewell dinner.
