Upon arrival at the hotel, we will have dinner and overnight accommodation.

Day 3: CASABLANCA – RABAT – TANGER

Breakfast. Enjoy a panoramic tour of this "cinematic" city, the country's economic capital. With over 4 million inhabitants, it blends modern Art Deco buildings with ancient structures dating back to the 13th century, when it was known as Dar El Baida (The White House). The tour includes Mohamed V Square, the popular Corniche (waterfront promenade), the upscale Anfa district, and the Hassan II Mosque (exterior view), notable for its impressive roof and minaret, considered the tallest in the world. At the scheduled time, departure for Rabat, the country's capital: one of Morocco's Imperial Cities, founded in the 12th century by the Almohads and now the country's administrative capital. There you will see the Hassan Tower, which rises above the esplanade of the unfinished mosque with its more than 200 columns; the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, built in memory of the sultan who achieved the country's independence; the exterior of the Royal Palace; and the Kasbah of the Udayas, with its view of the Bouregreg River estuary.

Fes is the oldest of the Imperial Cities and is considered the capital of Islam in Morocco. We begin with a panoramic view from one of the hills surrounding the city, followed by a visit to the bronze gates of the Royal Palace. Then, on foot, we explore the Medina to visit Medrasas (centers of canonical studies), workshops in the artisans' quarters, divided by guilds, and the spectacular tanneries.

This route takes you past a series of fortresses built of red adobe, each flanked by four turrets, creating a beautiful landscape alongside the surrounding green oases.
