North Morocco Adventure - 9 Day Trip

Morning! We're up bright and early to head over to Rabat! It's the capital of Morocco, and it's a beautiful city on the coastline. We'll arrive here around midday, and we'll spend the day learning all about the local culture and ticking off the hotspots. We'll also visit Rabat's UNESCO World Heritage site, Kasbah of the Udayas. This spot is a photographer's dream with the white and blue architecture and winding streets leading to the cutest cafes and restaurants.

This morning we are taking the fast train to the coastal town of Tangier. We'll get up early to make the most of our time here. This spot on the coastline feels worlds away from where we started on day 1. We'll visit the Heraclus Cave, which, as legend has it, is where Hercules rested after his "twelve labours". Not only does this cave have connections to our favourite "zero to hero star", it also has an opening that looks exactly like the continent of Africa, which has to be seen to be believed! After this, we'll head out for a Kasbah Tour, our guide will fill us in on all the local history and take us to an amazing viewpoint where we'll get to see the Strait of Gibraltar!

This morning, we’re leaving the coast behind and making our way inland to one of Morocco’s most iconic destinations, Chefchaouen. As soon as we arrive, you’ll see why this place is on every traveller’s bucket list… It’s blue-tiful.

We're headed straight out for a walking tour of the city. Our local guide will lead us through the winding, maze-like streets painted in every shade of blue you can imagine. You’ll learn how this tradition began, discover hidden gems, and stop by some of the best photo spots in town.

We’ll finish our tour in the heart of the medina, where you’ll have free time to explore, shop, or grab a mint tea while watching the world go by.

Today we've got a full day in the Blue Pearl! Today is all about doing Chefchaouen in your own way. Want to wander the dreamy blue streets? Go for it. Want to try a local workshop, shop for handmade souvenirs, or just chill with a mint tea while watching the world drift by? You can do that too! Later this afternoon, we’ll meet back up and head over to the best sunset spot in town. The views are 10/10 up here, the whole blue city spread out below - the perfect way to end our time in Chefchaouen.

We’re hitting the road today and making our way to the cultural capital of Morocco: Fes! But first, we’ve got a super cool stop lined up. We’ll visit Volubilis, one of the best-preserved Roman archaeological sites in North Africa. Much better than a motorway service! After a couple of hours learning the history and exploring this awesome place, we’ll jump back on the road and continue on to Fes, a city packed with history, colours, chaos, and the biggest medina you’ll ever see.

Today we've got a full day in Fez! Trust us, this city does not do things by halves. We'll explore the medina’s tiny alleyways and enjoy this UNESCO World Heritage Site! Did you know it is one of the largest car-free spots in the world! In the afternoon, we'll visit Madrasa Bou Inania. Full of intricate carvings and amazing architecture, this is a must-visit! We’ll also swing by the famous Nejjarine Fountain in the middle of the medina.

Afterwards, we’ll explore the pottery quarter, pop into a weaving cooperative to watch beautiful fabrics come to life, and of course…we have to visit the iconic tanneries. IYKYK!

Today, we swap the tiny alleys of Fes for the modern buzz of Casablanca. It's Morocco’s biggest city, and first up, we’re heading to the Hassan II Mosque. This is one of the largest mosques in the world, and being right next to the ocean, it's just magical! Afterwards, we’ll stroll along the Corniche, Casablanca’s seaside front and visit the Mohammed V Square. To finish off the day, we’ll explore the Houbous Quarter, with its traditional markets, colourful streets, and bustling cafes. It's the perfect place to spend our final evening together after an amazing time exploring the north of this incredible city.

All good things must come to an end! Today is checkout day, and it’s your chance to soak up a few final sights, grab that last-minute souvenir, or enjoy one last cup of mint tea before we say goodbye to this incredible country.
