ZAR 13 280.00 - Per person on a sharing basis

DAY 1: CASABLANCA

Arrive Casablanca, transfer to hotel. Overnight: Casablanca

DAY 2: CASABLANCA

Spend the day at leisure or take an optional sightseeing tour. Casablanca... just the name of the city stirs a hint of spice in the nostrils. Casablanca still retains its strong religious tradition in the Hassan II Mosque, one of the most spectacular in the world. The Corniche skirting the shores of the Atlantic is the place for those who need a thirst-quencher, a dip in the sea, or an evening of hot music at one of its top-class nightclubs.

Overnight: Casablanca (B)

DAY 3: CASABLANCA – RABAT

Travel by private transfer, public train or self-drive car from Casablanca to Rabat. Rabat is set in a rich, amber coloured landscape and dotted with distinctive nettle trees. It elegantly combines an ancient history with modern culture. In the heart of the city stands the Tour Hassan, the last vestige of an unfinished mosque. Behind its marble columns, the Mohammed V Mausoleum engenders solemn respect and serene contemplation. Overnight: Rabat (B)

DAY 4: RABAT – FEZ

Travel by private transfer, public train or self-drive car from Rabat to Fez. Overnight: Fez (B)

DAY 5 – DAY 6: FEZ

Spend the day at leisure or take an optional sightseeing tour. Fez does not reveal its secrets easily and they need to be discovered little by little, with reverence. Only in this way can the splendours of Medrassa architecture be fully appreciated and the calls of the medina tempt you. Bustling with artisans and merchants, its captivating sounds, fragrances and colours mesmerise the visitor with a constant swirl of activity.

Overnight: Fez (BL)

DAY 7: FEZ – MARRAKECH

Travel by private transfer, public train or self-drive car from Fez to Marrakech.

Overnight: Marrakech (B)

Day 8 – DAY 9: MARRAKECH

Spend the day at leisure or take an optional tour. The first feeling one has when entering this particular Imperial Capital is one of pure enchantment. Framed by the snowy heights of the High Atlas Mountains, with rose-coloured ramparts and a thousand-year old palm grove, Marrakech casts a magic spell. Sumptuous and exuberant, it radiates splendour and mysticism; at the dye merchants, in the explosion of multicoloured wools; at Festival time, in the rhythm of the music, in the emotion of the dancers; in the idle talk of the merchants and in the skill of the jugglers. Enchantment, which you feel in the shade of the blue gardens and in the overwhelming perfection of the Koutoubia. With its world-famous square, Jamaa El Fna and its souks Marrakech offers a wealth of experiences.

Overnight: Marrakech (B)
