tour details 7 Days Tour From Marrakech to Imprial Cities of Morocco:

Day 1: Marrakech – Casablanca – Rabat

Your imperial journey begins with an early departure from the vibrant city of Marrakech, heading northwest across the Moroccan plains. The first stop is Casablanca, the country’s economic hub and home to the Hassan II Mosque, a masterpiece of Moroccan craftsmanship that towers majestically above the Atlantic Ocean. After exploring the mosque and perhaps taking a scenic walk along the Corniche, you’ll continue along the coast to Rabat, Morocco’s current capital and one of its four imperial cities.

In Rabat, you’ll explore a harmonious blend of modern architecture and historic monuments. Highlights include the Hassan Tower, an incomplete 12th-century minaret symbolizing the city’s grand ambitions, and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, a richly decorated tomb honoring the former king. You’ll also stroll through the charming Kasbah of the Udayas, perched above the Bou Regreg River. The day concludes with an overnight stay in a comfortable riad or hotel in Rabat.

Day 2: Rabat – Rif Mountains – Chefchaouen

After breakfast, your tour heads north toward the serene Rif Mountains, revealing a different side of Morocco—lush, green, and tranquil. The winding drive leads you to the stunning mountain town of Chefchaouen, affectionately known as the Blue Pearl of Morocco. This picturesque village is famous for its sky-blue medina, narrow alleys, and Andalusian-style architecture.

Once you arrive, you’ll enjoy a peaceful afternoon wandering through the cobblestone streets, where every corner offers a photo-worthy scene. Visit Ras El Ma, a natural spring on the edge of town, and enjoy the relaxed pace and fresh mountain air. Whether you’re sipping mint tea in a rooftop café or browsing local handicrafts, Chefchaouen offers a soothing escape. Overnight in a charming riad nestled within the medina.

Day 3: Chefchaouen – Volubilis – Meknes – Fes

Today’s journey takes you deep into Morocco’s historical heart. Leaving Chefchaouen after breakfast, you’ll descend from the Rif Mountains toward the Roman ruins of Volubilis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here, you’ll walk among remarkably preserved mosaics, columns, and basilicas that whisper tales of Roman conquest and civilization.

After exploring the ancient city, continue to nearby Meknes, once the imperial capital under Sultan Moulay Ismail. You’ll visit key landmarks like the ornate Bab Mansour Gate, the Royal Stables, and the peaceful Mausoleum of Moulay Ismail. Unlike other bustling cities, Meknes offers a more laid-back experience with fewer crowds and plenty of charm.

By late afternoon, you’ll drive to Fes, Morocco’s oldest imperial city and spiritual epicenter. Check into your riad and prepare for a full day of discovery in this medieval marvel.

Day 4: Full Day Exploration of Fes

Today is dedicated entirely to exploring Fes, one of the world’s most fascinating medieval cities and a UNESCO-listed destination. You’ll begin with a panoramic view of Fes el Bali, the ancient medina, before diving into its maze of narrow alleys. With a local guide, you’ll uncover cultural treasures such as the University of Al Quaraouiyine, the world’s oldest existing university, and the Bou Inania Madrasa, a stunning example of Marinid architecture.

Visit the Chouara Tannery, where leather has been dyed using natural methods for centuries, and stop by artisan workshops where potters, weavers, and metalworkers still practice age-old techniques. You’ll also see the Royal Palace Gates, Mellah (Jewish Quarter), and the Nejjarine Museum of Wooden Arts & Crafts. After a full day soaking up the rich history and sensory overload of Fes, return to your riad for a relaxing evening.

Day 5: Fes – Ifrane – Azrou – Beni Mellal

Leaving the bustle of Fes behind, you’ll head south into the Middle Atlas Mountains, a region of cool forests, mountain lakes, and Berber villages. Your first stop is the town of Ifrane, often dubbed the “Switzerland of Morocco” for its European-style chalets and pristine streets. Continue through the cedar forests of Azrou, home to wild Barbary macaques, where you can pause to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and maybe interact with the monkeys.

As the road descends from the mountains, the landscape opens up into vast agricultural plains as you reach Beni Mellal, a laid-back town surrounded by olive groves and overlooked by the Middle Atlas peaks. It’s the perfect place to relax and unwind after a day of mountain scenery. Overnight in Beni Mellal.

Day 6: Beni Mellal – Ouzoud Waterfalls – Marrakech

Today takes you to one of Morocco’s most breathtaking natural wonders, the Ouzoud Waterfalls. Nestled in a picturesque canyon, these 110-meter cascades tumble into a lush green gorge populated by olive trees and playful monkeys. You’ll have time to hike around the falls, enjoy lunch at a riverside café, or even take a boat ride near the base of the falls for a refreshing splash.

In the afternoon, return to Marrakech, arriving by early evening. After checking into your hotel or riad, take a leisurely stroll around Jemaa el-Fnaa square, where storytellers, musicians, and food stalls bring the city to life at night.

Day 7: Marrakech Guided Tour – Departure

(If you have more time) Your final day begins with a guided tour of Marrakech, known as the “Red City” for its rose-hued walls and vibrant energy. Discover the Koutoubia Mosque, an iconic landmark that dominates the skyline, and visit the beautifully decorated Bahia Palace and Saadian Tombs, each offering a glimpse into Morocco’s regal past. Wander through the maze-like souks, where you can shop for spices, textiles, lamps, and leather goods, all while soaking up the city’s rich ambiance.

Depending on your flight schedule, you may also explore the Majorelle Garden or enjoy a relaxing hammam. After a week filled with cultural discoveries, breathtaking landscapes, and imperial grandeur, your 7 Days Tour From Marrakech to Imprial Cities ends with a transfer to the airport or an extra night stay in Marrakech.
