This quick trip takes you through Morocco's best cities. Start in the north in Tangier and work your way to Rabat and Casablanca, pass Roman ruins in Volubilis, and through the medieval medina in Fes. Carry on the west to Morocco's capital, Rabat, before reaching modern Casablanca and finishing in lively Marrakesh.
Start your 5-day trip in Morocco journey by the guided tour of Tangier and its magical Medina. Be impressed by its mythic Hercules Caves, enjoy your time during a memorable Camel Ride, and take full advantage of the breathtaking views from Cap Spartel, the meeting point of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.
Leave Tangier behind and venture to the imperial city (and present-day capital) of Rabat. Explore the medieval fortification of the Chellah Necropolis and wander the Roman and Islamic ruins. Enter through the grand door of the Kasbah des Oudaias into Rabat's old city center. From there, visit the 20th-century Andalusian Gardens and enjoy the serene space away from the crowds. Discover the Hassan Tower, a minaret of the incomplete mosque and Mausoleum of Mohamed V, a 12th-century project that was abandoned, leaving only the minaret and some 200 columns.
Continue south to Casablanca and transfer to your hotel. Take a stroll along the Boulevard de la Corniche, the beach promenade that follows the Atlantic (often referred to as Morocco's 'Miami') to the Hassan II Mosque. Though tours of the interior are only offered in the morning, take advantage of the timing and watch the sunset behind the architectural marvel, and spend a night there.
Marrakesh nicknamed the "Red City" (for its 1000-year-old red sandstone city walls and buildings), is a major economic center and home to a thriving medina. Begin west of Jemaa el-Fna and walk toward the striking minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque and Gardens. The 253-foot (77 m) high minaret is the tallest tower built in Marrakesh. Explore the stalls in Souk el-Attarin (Spices), Souk Haddadine (blacksmiths), and Souk Smata (slippers) before visiting the Ben Youssef Madrasa (Islamic school) for a taste of 16th-century architecture and marvel at the details.
As you walk Marrakesh's alleys, notice the fondouks—medieval inns along ancient trade routes that provided travelers and merchants with shelter and supplies. Today, some have been converted into residences, while others are shopping areas and workshops that you can explore. Depending on your energy level, you may wish to visit a few sites south of Jemaa el-Fna. Some options to consider are the 500-year-old Saadian Tombs,
And so, this will be the end of your 5 days trip in northern Morocco. The drop-off will be wherever you like in Tangier.
