ISTANBUL – CASABLANCA
We meet three hours before our flight at Istanbul Airport International Terminal. After completing baggage and ticket procedures, we finish passport and boarding checks and depart for Casablanca on Turkish Airlines' scheduled flight. Upon arrival in Casablanca, we begin our city tour with the Heart of the Atlantic in Casablanca: V. Mohammed Square, Hassan II Mosque, and Corniche. Casablanca, one of the most important cities on Morocco's Atlantic coast, stands out today as one of the country's commercial and economic centers. A significant factor in the city's global recognition is the 1942 film Casablanca. The film, which deals with the atmosphere of World War II years, has permanently secured Casablanca's place in cinema history. During our city tour, V. Mohammed Square, Hassan II Mosque—one of Morocco's most impressive religious structures, the bustling modern areas of Anfa and Zerktouni Boulevards, and the Corniche along the Atlantic coast are among the places to see. Additionally, Rick's Café, created inspired by the famous location from the Casablanca film, will be viewed panoramically. After our city tour, we transfer to our hotel. We complete our day after free time for settling into our rooms and resting. Dinner and overnight stay at our hotel.
CASABLANCA – RABAT – TANGIER
After breakfast, we head to Rabat, the capital of Morocco, following in the footsteps of the Royal City. We will visit the Kasbah of the Udayas, the Hassan Tower dating back to the 12th century, and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, honoring one of the key figures of Morocco's independence era. Located where the Bou Regreg River meets the Atlantic Ocean, Rabat is an important center that combines its historical heritage with modern urban life. Among the highlights of our Rabat tour are the Kasbah of the Udayas, which reflects the city's historic fabric, the Hassan Tower from the 12th century, and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V. Throughout history, this city has been influenced by various civilizations and continues today as Morocco's political and administrative center. After our tour of Rabat, we proceed north to Tangier, a strategically located city between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Upon arrival, we explore the Medina district, the historic heart of Tangier. Next, we visit the tomb of the famous traveler Ibn Battuta, who left Morocco in the 14th century and traveled extensively across much of the world. After our sightseeing activities, we transfer to our hotel in Tangier. Free time to relax. Dinner and overnight stay at our hotel.
TANJA – SHAVERVAN – FEZ
After breakfast, we head to Chefchaouen, one of Morocco's most characteristic cities: The Colorful Heritage of Morocco: The Medina of Chefchaouen and the Historical Treasures of Fez. Nestled at the foot of the Rif Mountains, Chefchaouen is one of Morocco's most striking settlements, known for its blue-painted houses and narrow streets. During our walk through the city's historic medina, we explore streets dominated by shades of blue, traditional homes, and small squares. After our visit to Chefchaouen, guests who wish will have free time for lunch and shopping. We then continue our journey toward Fez. Upon arrival in Fez, we first view the Bab-el-Makhzen gate, a striking example of Moroccan royal architecture. Next, we take a walk through the historic Jewish quarter, the Mellah district. Our tour continues with Fez's historic Medina district.

After breakfast, we depart from Fes towards the Atlas Mountains and the Golden Sultanate of the Sahara: passing through Ifrane and Midelt. Our first stop is Ifrane, which stands out with its architecture and natural environment, quite different from other cities in Morocco. Known as "Switzerland of Morocco," Ifrane is famous for its high altitude, orderly city layout, and European-style architecture. We spend some free time in this city, which is also significant for ski tourism during the winter months. Then we continue our journey to reach the town of Midelt. In Midelt, known for its location among the Atlas Mountains, we take a break for lunch at a local restaurant. Afterwards, we head towards the Sahara Desert. Along the way, we witness the changing landscapes and arrive at our accommodation or camp in the desert area. After settling in, we will have time to watch the sunset over the sand dunes. At the end of the day, we have the opportunity to gaze at the stars in the sky far from the city lights of the Sahara.

As we move from desert landscapes toward the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, we observe the region’s changing geography. Along the way, we see irrigation channels, Todra Gorge, and the M’Gouna region, known for its rose production. Next, we arrive at Ait Benhaddou, one of Morocco’s most renowned historical settlements.

Today, it has become a well-known location in the film world thanks to numerous productions such as Gladiator, The Mummy, Alexander, Babylon, and Game of Thrones. After our visit, we tour the Hollywood Film Studios, which are synonymous with Morocco’s film industry.

Finally, we transfer to our hotel in Ouarzazate, which has hosted many international productions. Dinner and overnight stay at our hotel.
OUARZAZATE – MARRAKECH
After breakfast, we head towards Marrakech, one of Morocco's most famous cities, via the Atlas Mountains and its landmarks: the Koutoubia Mosque, Jemaa el-Fna, and the Medina. Historically a key stop on trade routes, Marrakech also holds an important place in Morocco's cultural and artistic life. The city's historic center, traditional souks, and unique architecture still bear traces of the past today. During our Marrakech city tour, we see the Koutoubia Mosque, one of the city's iconic structures. Then, we enjoy free time at Jemaa el-Fna Square, one of the city's busiest spots. Next, we visit the area housing the Majorelle Gardens, another major symbol of Marrakech. While exploring the historic Medina district, we get up close with traditional Moroccan life.

With its intersecting streets and location on the Atlantic coast, Essaouira offers a city atmosphere different from other Moroccan medinas.
