From the Atlantic coast to the Atlas Mountains, this trip offers a perfect combination of history, tradition and modernity.

Day 1: Casablanca – Rabat – Marrakech

Departure from Casablanca: The Economic Capital of Morocco

We begin the journey in Casablanca, the largest and most modern city in Morocco. Casablanca is known for its art deco architecture and stunning sea views. Although it is a highly developed city, it still maintains its roots in Moroccan tradition.

The visit begins with:

The Hassan II Mosque, one of the largest mosques in the world and the only one open to non-Muslims. Its imposing minaret, 210 meters high, is visible from any point in the city.

The Corniche Boulevard, a seaside promenade full of restaurants and cafes overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

Stop in Rabat: The Administrative Capital of Morocco

We leave Casablanca and head toward Rabat, the administrative capital of the country, located about two hours away. Rabat is a city with a unique blend of ancient history and modernity. During our stop we explore:

The Hassan Tower, an unfinished structure from the 12th century that was originally intended to be the tallest minaret in the world.

The Mausoleum of Mohamed V, the resting place of two Moroccan monarchs. This mausoleum is an impressive example of modern Islamic architecture.

The Kasbah of the Udayas, a fortress built in the 12th century overlooking the sea and the Bou Regreg River, perfect for a relaxing walk among white and blue streets.

After enjoying Rabat, we continue our journey to Marrakech, the final destination of the day.

Day 2: Guided Tour in Marrakech

Exploring the Red City

After a traditional Moroccan breakfast, we start the day with a guided tour of Marrakech, also known as the “Red City” due to the terracotta color of its buildings. Marrakech is famous for its vibrant medina, lively markets, and historic architecture. On this tour, we will see:

Jemaa el-Fna Square, an iconic place that comes alive with snake charmers, musicians, storytellers, and food stalls. At night, the square turns into a huge open-air food market.

The Koutoubia Mosque, one of the most important symbols of the city. Although access is not allowed for non-Muslims, its 77-meter minaret is a central feature of Marrakech’s skyline.

The Bahia Palace, a 19th-century residence that offers a glimpse into the opulence of the former Moroccan aristocracy. Its gardens and patios filled with tiles and architectural details are simply stunning.

The Saadian Tombs, a 16th-century funerary complex that contains the tombs of sultans and members of the royal family of the Saadian dynasty.

The souks of the medina, where visitors can get lost among streets filled with crafts, spices, carpets, jewelry, and traditional products.

In the afternoon, you can freely explore the markets or enjoy a traditional hammam to relax after a day of exploration.

Day 3: Marrakech – Majorelle Garden – The Atlas Mountains and Return to Casablanca

Visit to the Majorelle Garden

We begin the third day with a visit to the Majorelle Garden, a green oasis created by French painter Jacques Majorelle in the 1920s. This garden is famous for its vibrant blue tones and unique design that combines local vegetation with influences from Eastern art. It is a perfect place to enjoy tranquility and beauty.

Atlas Mountains Exploration (optional)

If time permits, it is possible to take an optional excursion to the Atlas Mountains, located about 30 minutes from Marrakech. Along the way, you can visit small Berber villages, take short hikes, and enjoy panoramic views of the mountains and valleys.

Return to Casablanca

In the afternoon, we head back to Casablanca, completing the journey with one last stop along the way to rest and enjoy a traditional Moroccan lunch before arriving in the city. Depending on the arrival time, there may be free time to explore a bit more of Casablanca before ending the trip.
