5 Days Morocco Tour from Casablanca

Overview:

This 5-day Morocco tour from Casablanca will provide a perfect blend of historical and modern sightseeing. Visiting some of the cities like Fes, and strolling their streets feels like walking in the medieval world. That’s the kind of experience we are providing you on our 5-day northern Morocco tour. For this guided tour, we have compiled an itinerary that covers all the ancient cities of the north.  

Most people know Casablanca from the old movie with the same name. Well, if you’ve seen the movie, you will be surprised how Casablanca doesn’t look anything like the movie. Actually, Casablanca is an economic and commercial city. It’s the biggest city in Morocco with modern towers and facilities. However, if you feel nostalgic about the movie, you can actually find the famous Rick’s Cafe in Casablanca. The movie was filmed in California, but that didn’t stop from making an exact replica of the cafe in the real city. 

Leaving Casablanca behind, this tour will continue to northern Morocco, to Chefchaouen. The blue pearl of Morocco! It is one of the most unique cities in the world because of its blue-shaded streets and buildings that create the most interesting scenery. 

Lastly, the tour leads you to Fes, which is a fantastic cultural and historical hub. Thos 5-day  Morocco tour will also end in Casablanca.

Tour Plan:

Day 1: Casablanca Sightseeing

The 5 days Morocco tour starts early in the morning in the modern coastal city of Casablanca. We will pick you up from your riad/hotel and set off to visit the major attractions of the city. 

Among them is the modern and monumental Hassan II Mosque. With its minaret of 210 meters, the mosque is the tallest structure in Morocco and the tallest minaret in the world. With state-of-the-art architecture, a fine touch of ancient Arabic art, and the backdrop of the Atlantic Sea, the Hassan II Mosque offers a breathtaking view. Bring a camera with you, because this is one of the most popular spots in Casablanca. 

After touring the mosque, we will visit Hubous, also referred to as Casablanca’s “New Medina.” This open-air market offers a vast range of merchandise, including Moroccan staples like dried fruits and spices. Almost everything is sold on this market. You will also get to experience rich Art Deco architecture left behind by the French when they built Hubous in the 1930s. 

We will then take a stroll along the Beach of Promenade and by the time we finish, it is time for lunch. We will eat at a restaurant that serves local food. 

In the afternoon, we head to Casablanca’s old town district. The bustling old medina is quite a spectacle. From there, we will visit the Cathedral du Sacre-Coeur, famous for its incredible fusion of European and Moroccan styles. We will also visit the Morocco Mall shopping center and the Jewish museum before ending the day at La Corniche beach for a spectacular sunset. Our guide will take you back to your riad/hotel.

Day 2: Casablanca » Chefchaouen [340 km]

After breakfast, we will pick you up at your riad/hotel in an air-conditioned car and set off for a scenic road trip towards Chefchaouen, via the Imperial City of Rabat. We will be passing the cities of Mohammedia, Temara, and Oudaias Kasbah en route to Rabat. It is a spectacular 340 km drive, where you can admire flat plains, rolling hills, and breathtaking mountainous terrain. The drive is approximately 4 hours long and takes you through some of the most scenic landscapes in Morocco. We will make several stops along the way at some of the most interesting spots such as the cork forests and Pont du Loukkos. 

Chefchaouen is one of Morocco’s cities that retained its traditional features. Located in the Rif Mountains, the city was founded around 1471, and it provides a perfect experience of old Morocco. The city has preserved its look since then, providing a mind-blowing atmosphere of the historical world. Chefchaouen is best known for its blue-washed buildings, especially in its historic medina. We will spend the rest of the day exploring the city. We will visit Plaza Outa el-Hamman, where many traditional restaurants and cafés can be found, and have lunch there. 

After lunch, we will head to the old medina, also known as the Blue Town. The architecture and the blue streets make the Old City an ideal backdrop for incredible photos. We will have more strolls on the streets of Blue Town before leaving for souks. 

Towards the end of the day, we will trek up the hill to the white Spanish Mosque, where we will get to experience the sunset behind the Rif Mountains. Our tour guide will take you back to your riad or hotel for the night.

After breakfast, we will take a scenic drive from Chefchaouen towards Volubilis via the Rif Mountains. It’s a 3-hour drive passing through a breathtaking landscape. We will spend the entire morning exploring over 2,000-year-old Roman ruins at Volubilis, among other features. 

As one of the ancient Roman outposts, Volubilis offers fascinating things to learn about the Roman Empire. With its architecture and other classical features, it is a striking site to visit on your way to Fes. A camera is a must to capture the remains of the temple on the backdrop of the hilly landscape. 

We will have lunch at Volubilis before we start another exciting road trip, heading to Meknes. The city of Meknes is an anticipation of what to expect in Fes. Among Meknes’ key attractions are Imperial City and the bustling medina of locals. 

Being one of the four imperial cities of Morocco, there are a lot of classical attractions, including centuries-old ruins to explore. We will also visit Meknes’ vibrant souks. In the evening, we will drive to Fes and will drop you off at your riad or hotel for the night.

Day 4: Fes Sightseeing with a local guide

Fes is the oldest of the four imperial cities of Morocco. For more than 1000 years since the city was founded, Feshas remained untouched. Therefore, a stroll on the streets of Fes feels like passing through an ancient world. Walking the streets feels what it was like to live in medieval Morocco. 

We will pick you up from your riad/hotel and set off exploring the beauty of the City of Fes. There is the medieval Fes and the more modern Fes, the latter being greatly influenced by the French during colonization. We will visit the two medina quarters where we will stroll centuries-old streets. Fes el Bali is one of the most popular medinas in this city and it is also the largest intact medina in the world. As you approach this medina, you can see the breathtaking sight of the minaret of the famous Medersa BouInania. We will also visit the Medersa el-Attarine before lunchtime. 

In the afternoon we will tour more spots, including Qaraouiyine Mosque, a medieval structure built in AD 857. The mosque can hold up to 20,000 worshipers in its prayer hall. It also hosts the world’s oldest library. A manuscript of a 9th-century Qur’an is found here. Qaraouiyine Mosque is also the oldest Islamic university. 

We will then go on to visit the old Mellah (Jewish Quarter) in Fes el Jedid as well as the site of the Royal Palace next to it. We will pay a visit to our Bab Bou Jeloud, Chouara Tannery, and the Ibn Danan synagogue before returning to the hotel or riad for the night.

Excellent experience in Morocco During the last months, I’ve been visiting Morocco quite often with groups. The experience, organisation, structures, activities as well as the support provided before, during and after the trip let us have an amazing experience. Drivers are always so skilled, professional and kind: worth-mentioning is especially Mustafa, with whom I travelled twice. Hope to see you soon again!

Great experience! After a lot of research, we contacted Hassan for a 5-day desert trip with Best Morocco Travel and he was on time to respond to all our requests. From Marrakesh to the Sahara desert, the experience was impeccable. The well-planned itinerary, comfortable accommodation, and transportation provided by his agency deserves 5 stars. Our guide Hassan’s experience, knowledge and friendly behavior made it a perfect and unforgettable trip. I highly recommend traveling to Morocco for an amazing trip with Best Morocco Travel company.

An Outstanding Cultural Tour I just completed a multiday tour with Hassan from Best Morocco Travel as my guide. Safely driving his comfortable vehicle while playing wonderful Moroccan music on his sound system, Hassan took me to many memorable destinations. He knows his country. He’s a bright young man with plenty of energy. His English language skills are impressive. If you’re fortunate to have Hassan as your guide, he will take great care of you. Hassan is THE guide to have when visiting Morocco. I recommend him without hesitation.
