1日目
Enter mystical Morocco and head towards the coastal majesty of Fnideq
There is just something magical about Morocco. It’s in the air that blows in off the sea, it’s in the colors of the buildings, it’s in the culture that flows through the streets. You’ll feel it immediately as your plane touches down in the city of Casablanca, but you won’t be hanging around there for long. You’ll immediately be whisked off to Fnideq, an understated town with a laid back atmosphere and endless beach views. Take some time to get settled before going to a welcome dinner to cap off your first day here in Morocco.
2日目
Explore Fnideq at your own pace with a free day
Yesterday was a bit of a whirlwind of travel, and there are lots of adventures coming up on this trip. With that in mind, today is a slow-paced free day that you can use however you’d like. Head down to the beach, hang by the pool, or just chill in your room. You can’t go wrong in a location as gorgeous as Fnideq.
3日目
Sink into the blue beauty of Chefchaouen, one of Morocco’s most unique cities
Many Moroccan cities have a kind of undefinable and alluring quality to them that you just can’t put your finger on. Chefchaouen, on the other hand, is less of a mystery. It’s blue. Like… really blue. Don’t believe us? We guess you’ll just have to see for yourself. After breakfast in Fnideq, it’s off to explore the azure streets and buildings of Chefchaouen. Many think the unusual color scheme is meant to reflect the waves of the Mediterranean Sea – no matter what the reasoning is, you can’t deny just how wonderful a place this is. Spend some time exploring and strolling through the streets before grabbing lunch and heading back to Fnideq for the rest of the evening.
4日目
Transfer to Morocco’s capital and go on a tour of some of its famous landmarks
Good morning! After breakfast, we’re saying goodbye to Fnideq and heading to Rabat. Although it may not be the largest city in Morocco, the nation’s capital holds a lot of history and has many landmarks that are definitely worth stopping at. Check into your hotel and then head off on a tour of the city including stops at the gargantuan Hassan Tower and the impressive Mohammed V Mausoleum. When all is said and done, it’s off to a restaurant for dinner with fresh seafood as the main dish.
5日目
Enjoy a thorough tour of Marrakech after checking out of your hotel in Rabat
No trip to Morocco is complete without a visit to Marrakech, so that’s exactly where we’re headed today. You’ll check into your hotel, drop off your bags, eat some lunch, and then it’s time for a tour that will show you some of the finest spots in the entire city. Accompanied by a private guide, you’ll discover the Koutoubia minaret, the colorful spice markets deep in the city, and Jemaa el Fna, the main marketplace of Marrakech. Cap off the tour by attending some workshops and learning skills ranging from baking to shoemaking. Finally, go back to the hotel to unwind after an action-packed day.
6日目
Take the excitement up a notch in the Atlas Mountains with zip-lining and a ropes course
Today’s the day you adventurous travelers have been waiting for! After a hearty breakfast at the hotel, you’ll be taken to the gorgeous Atlas Mountains for a day of heart-thumping fun. Zip-lines, ropes courses, and more make this an experience you won’t be able to forget! Have no worries, though, as these adrenaline-filled activities are perfectly safe. Challenge yourself and enjoy the mountain views that stretch out in front of you!
7日目
Go on a cultural journey in Marrakech with a cooking class and a traditional hammam and massage
Visiting all the legendary tourist sights is lots of fun, but why not get a bit more hands-on? Today, you’ll be attending a cooking class that will help you learn about Moroccan culinary traditions. Cook up a few different courses and then eat them yourself for lunch! That’s not the end of the daily festivities, though – you’ll then be treated to a traditional hammam and massage, relaxing both your muscles and your mind. You’re bound to feel truly in tune with the spirit of Morocco after today.
8日目
Say goodbye to the city and head straight to the Agafay Desert for a day of fun
It’s your last full day in Morocco, and we’re going to spend it the right way. Say goodbye to the bustling streets of Marrakech and get ready to head to the Agafay Desert. Rocky, stark, and stunningly beautiful, this desert is like a playground with endless opportunities for fun. After checking into our lodging, our first activity will be a camel trek. A historic way of travel, this experience is quintessentially Moroccan. Then, after refueling with some lunch, you’ll hop on an ATV to zip around the desert at high speeds! We’ll wrap up the day with dinner accompanied by live music and dancers, and you’ll head to bed feeling tired and completely satisfied with an excellent day.
9日目
Depart from Morocco with endless memories
Wow, what a trip! Sadly, though, today is your last day in Morocco. After breakfast, it’s back to Casablanca to catch a flight back home. We really hope you enjoyed yourself, and we can’t wait until the next adventure! Fly safe.
