Good to know
Most international flights land in Casablanca, which makes it the natural place to begin a complete tour of Morocco. From here the route usually heads north to Rabat and the blue town of Chefchaouen, then to Fes, south across the Middle Atlas to the Sahara, and back over the High Atlas to Marrakech.
Tours from Casablanca range from a week covering the imperial cities and the desert to grand journeys of three weeks or more that also take in Tangier, the valleys of the south and the Atlantic coast. Your driver-guide meets you on arrival and stays with you throughout.
Highlights
One of the largest mosques in the world, built partly over the Atlantic, and one of the few in Morocco open to non-Muslim visitors.
Mohammed V Airport has the most long-haul connections in Morocco, ideal for travellers from the Americas and Asia.
Our tours from Casablanca link Rabat, Meknes, Fes and Marrakech on a single route.
