Today will mark the beginning of our 8 days tour from Casablanca to Marrakech; we will either meet you at the Casablanca airport or your hotel. We will visit the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, which is commonly regarded as the largest mosque in all of Africa. After that, we travel to Rabat, the capital of Morocco and one of the four imperial towns in the country. We will take a tour of the city's most famous landmarks, including the Hassan Tower, Chellah, and Oudaya Kasbah.
We can take our time eating lunch. After lunch, we will get on the highway and travel directly to Fes, the "spiritual heart of Morocco." In time for dinner and an overnight stay in a typical riad or hotel in the heart of the historic medina, we will arrive in Fes in the late afternoon or early evening.
You will begin your tour of the most historically and culturally significant city in Morocco after breakfast. In Fes, the "spiritual capital of Morocco," the architectural medina will be explored. Our guided tour of Fez includes the Jewish Quarter (Mellah) and the Dar El Makhzen, or Royal Palace, with its stunning mosaic architecture and golden doors. In the eleventh century, the renowned Chaouwara Tanneries, the city's largest leather workshop, were created. The Kairaouine Mosque (the historic institution of Islamic education) and one of the world's oldest universities are inaccessible to non-Muslims; nevertheless, the mosque courtyard can be viewed from the mosque's gates. The Najjarine Marble Fountain and Al-Attarine Madrassa is a religious school with some of the most impressive examples of Islamic architecture. The Bou Inania Medersa is one of the most beautiful ecclesiastical buildings in Fes.
There will be enough time to have lunch at a local Moroccan restaurant. The mosaics of the Bab Boujloud archway change color from blue on the outside wall to green on the inner wall, allowing you to recognize the sacred color of Islam.

Merzouga Lake (which is not always full of water) to observe the ducks and flamingos who arrive in the spring to reside in this lake. We will journey to the village of Khmliya, where Gnawa will be performed by musicians. Then, we will continue our off-road journey through the desert until we reach the dark desert behind the Erg-Chebbi sand dunes. Then, we will visit a nomadic Berber family to see their lifestyle. We will then travel to an abandoned settlement where mineral fossils may be discovered.
We will return to Khmliya to dine at a local restaurant. In the afternoon, you will reach the desert camp via a camel trek across the magnificent orange sand dunes.
