Authentic Morocco Tour (CMN-CMN)
Tour Detail
ISTANBUL – CASABLANCA – MARRAKECH
After completing passport and customs procedures at the Air Arabia counter in the International Departures Terminal of Sabiha Gökçen Airport, we depart for Casablanca with Air Arabia. Upon arrival in Casablanca, we board our waiting vehicle and proceed to Marrakech. After breakfast, we begin exploring Marrakech, a city that will take you back centuries with its narrow streets. Among the places we will visit are Bahia Palace, the Koutoubia Minaret (one of the 800-year-old examples of Moorish architecture), Majorelle Gardens, the Souks, and Jma El Fna square, known as the "Square of Miracles." This square, which can truly be called a "square of miracles," is one of the rare squares listed on the UNESCO World Heritage list. For Jamaa El Fna, where storytellers, snake charmers, tattoo artists, magicians, and acrobats enliven the scene, we can simply say it is an "open-air theater." In the medina (old city), which still maintains medieval living traditions, we learn about argan oil and spices. After the tour, we transfer to our hotel and have free time. Dinner and overnight stay at our Marrakech hotel.
MARRAKECH - ESSAOUIRA – MARRAKECH
After breakfast at our hotel, we head to Essaouira, a coastal town listed as a World Heritage site where art and culture intertwine. This small fishing town located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean is Morocco's most romantic place. Reminding us somewhat of old Bodrum, Essaouira has been a source of inspiration for many artists such as Orson Welles. As an old Portuguese port, the city preserved its fortress and historic harbor during Arab rule, while also becoming fully cosmopolitan by adding Muslims to the Christian Portuguese and Jewish populations. The "Medina," consisting of streets and avenues intersecting at right angles, is an example of period urban planning. The kilometer-long sandy beach hosts international wave surfing competitions every year. On the way, we enjoy natural beauties. In this city, you can visit important and diverse areas such as the fortress, Medina, market, and harbor, and enjoy pleasant shopping. After the tour, we return to Marrakech. Dinner and accommodation at our hotel.
MARRAKECH - RABAT- MEKNES - FES
After breakfast at the hotel, we leave the hotel with our luggage and head to Rabat. It is on the UNESCO World Heritage List (as a combination of modern capital and historic city). Due to being the location of the royal family and all embassies, it holds a political and diplomatic center status. Additionally, Rabat is located on the banks of the Bou Regreg River, surrounded by eucalyptus and Portuguese mushroom tree forests. During our panoramic city tour in Rabat, among the places we will see are the Hassan Tower, the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, and the Royal Palace. Afterwards, we continue towards Meknes, which is also on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Declared the capital by Sultan Moulay Ismail in the 17th century, Meknes is one of Morocco's "four imperial cities" and stands out for its architectural simplicity. The city is a unique example where Islamic elegance meets European engineering. Among the sights to see is Bab el-Mansour, one of the most magnificent city gates in Morocco; this work, with its complex mosaics and majestic structure, is the symbol of Meknes. Lahdim Square offers a colorful atmosphere with street artists and open-air markets. Then we proceed to Fes. Dinner and overnight stay at our Fes hotel.
FES - CASABLANCA
After breakfast at the hotel, we leave the hotel with our luggage and tour Fes, which is on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List and is the religious and cultural capital of Morocco. In Fes, after a walk through the monumental gate of the royal palace, Bab-el Makhzen, and the surrounding Jewish quarter, Mellah, our Medina tour begins. Among the places we will see are Attarine Madrasa, Karaouine University, Nejarine Square, the market selling jewelry and copper items specific to Morocco, workshops where the world's best ceramic craftsmanship is done, and tanneries established near the Fes River, which today continue traditional leather processing. We will view these panoramically. Afterwards, we head to Casablanca. Dinner and accommodation at our Casablanca hotel.
CASABLANCA – ISTANBUL
After breakfast, we check out of the hotel and tour the commercial capital of the country, Casablanca. Our city tour begins, having taken its name from Spanish and described as the "White City." Places to see include Anfa & Ain Diab, Mohammed V Square, United Nations Square, and the Hassan II Mosque, built between 1986-1993, which is among the three largest mosques in the world. The structure built on an area of 20,000 square meters will be the most impressive tour of the day. Regions along the Atlantic Ocean coast, Ain Diab, and Corniche are among the places we will see. After the panoramic city tour, we arrive at Casablanca Airport. Later, at the time determined by our guide, we transfer to the airport. After baggage and ticket procedures, we depart for Istanbul.
