Edith Wharton, American writer (1862–1937)

Seven Wonders of the Kingdom of Morocco (11 days/10 nights)

PLEASE NOTE: Morocco is an extraordinarily beautiful country with a rich culture and history. However, it must be understood that the country is not highly developed in the way Westerners might expect. Accommodation will be in 4* and 5* hotels.

ATTENTION: Morocco is larger in size than Ukraine and 2.5 times bigger than Italy. We have tried to show the entire country in all its diversity. Therefore, this tour is considered to be fairly complex and demanding.

ATTENTION: Routes and excursions may change due to the closure of a site for repairs or restoration, quarantine, or due to natural disasters or political situations that are beyond our control. Therefore, no claims regarding the route and program will be accepted.

ATTENTION: Morocco is a safe country. Crime, especially against tourists, is virtually non-existent. However, never use the services of locals, as even a simple indication of the way may cost you 200 dirhams (equivalent to $20).

Located on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean in the easternmost point of Morocco, the mosque is an architectural marvel designed by French architect Michel Pinseau. It has the tallest minaret in the world, reaching 689 feet, and can hold 25,000 worshippers inside and 80,000 more in the surrounding courtyard.

Breakfast. After breakfast, enjoy a sightseeing tour of Marrakech. Visit the legendary bazaars, craft markets, the wool dyers’ district, and the legendary Jemaa el-Fnaa square with its constant exhibitions of folklore, magicians, and storytellers. The prestige of Marrakech is largely due to its past glory. Having been the prosperous capital of Morocco under several dynasties, Marrakech boasts architectural masterpieces such as the slender minarets, like the Koutoubia, rising above the ancient Medina. We will visit the tombs of the Saadian rulers, outstanding examples of Moorish art, and explore the preserved historical monuments with their dazzling mosaics, wooden carvings, and luxurious marble. A visit to the Bahia Palace is also included. Lunch on your own.

In the afternoon: Visit the legendary Majorelle Gardens. This enchanting place, filled with bougainvillea, coconuts, bananas, bamboo, and palm trees, was created in the 1920s by French artist Jacques Majorelle. In the center of this lush greenery, he built a large studio, pergolas, and pavilions all covered in a striking shade of blue. After the artist’s death in 1962, the place was abandoned but was later restored by fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, who used it as his residence.

The tour ends with a visit to the Marrakech Ramparts: the ancient 19 km long walls, surrounded by 202 towers, rising above the medieval city with their characteristic red stone. Walk through the Agdal Gardens, south of Marrakech, with views of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains, open-air markets, and the Medina.

Visit Jemaa el-Fnaa, the beating heart of the city. Immerse yourself in the extraordinary sights and smells of Moroccan folklore! Snake charmers, storytellers, fortune-tellers, potion sellers, Gnawa musicians, henna artists, acrobats, and transvestite dancers fill the square. Dinner at the hotel. Overnight in Marrakech.

Day 4. Marrakech – Argan Oil Factory – Essaouira

The argan tree is unique, growing only in southern Morocco. Argan oil is used in Moroccan cuisine for many well-known dishes. You may choose to buy this rare and high-quality argan oil.

You’ll see Berber tribespeople in traditional cotton clothing, wearing woven hats decorated with bright threads. We will visit the Ras El Maa Spring and the main square, Outa El-Hammam, and Kasbah, which is the main square of the old town with an impressive museum.

It is perhaps the most charming city in Morocco, known as the intellectual, religious, and cultural center of the kingdom. The university here is one of the oldest in the world, and the city’s craftsmanship is truly impressive (look for handmade goods like carpets, fabrics, ceramics, leather products, and items made of copper, brass, and silver). The street life in Fez’s Medina is unforgettable. The markets are open-air department stores, with spice shops next to carpet sellers and across from fishmongers. This is the center of Moroccan life, brimming with vitality.

The tour includes monuments and historic places in the ancient Medina, with a walk to the Karaouine Mosque and University. Visit the Attarine Madrasa, built in the early 14th century by the Merinids.

Next, we visit the imperial city of Meknes (a UNESCO World Heritage site). The history of Meknes dates back to the 8th century, and it was built as a kasbah on a hilltop.
