DAY 1, CASABLANCA / RABAT / MEKNES / FES:

Morning arrival and assistance by your host at Mohammed V
Airport. transfer to the hotel then sightseeing tour of
Casablanca. "Principal city in Morocco and capital in all
but administration" Casablanca is now the largest port of
the Maghreb - busier even than Marseille seaport, the city
on which it was modeled by the French. Your visit will
include the central market, the Habous district, the Royal
Palace, the Mohamed V square, the residential area of Anfa
and the Hassan II Mosque. Optional sea food lunch at the
Corniche in Ain Diab (coast line). Afternoon departure to
Rabat, the capital of the nation. This city in many ways is
what you would expect: elegant in its spacious European in
self conscious in Its very civilized modern ways. Our visit
begins in the Medina with the Kasbah of the Oudayas. Visit
the venerated Mohamed V Mausoleum, the Hassan Tower, the
Mosque, and the ramparts and walls of the Mechouar
surrounding the Royal Palace. Departure to Meknes via
Volubilis and Moulay Idris. This excursion embodies much of
Morocco's early history - Volubilis as Its Roman provincial
capital, Moulay Idris in the creation of the country's first
Arab dynasty then continue to Fez . Dinner and overnight at
your scheduled hotel.
DAY 2, FES :

After breakfast, full-day tour of the city of Fes, The Holy
City of Fes is a jewel of Spanish-Arabic civilization. Fes
does not reveal its secrets easily. Secretive, shadowy, they
need to be discovered little by little, with reverence. Only
in this way can the splendors of Medrsa architecture be
fully appreciated. Only in this way will the call of the
medina tempt you. Bustling with artisans and merchants, its
captivating sounds, fragrances and colors mesmerize the
visitor with a constant swirl of activity. The city of
Moulay Idriss 1st, sanctuary of human and moral sciences.
The great À Karaouiyne University bas for eleven centuries
been a religions and intellectual center whose influence bas
spread far beyond the Kingdom's boundaries. In 789, a
pick-axe of silver and gold -"fas" in Arabic - was presented
to Idriss 1st to use in tracing the outlines of the city.
Hence the name of the city, which lies at the far eastern
end of the plain of Saïss, bordered to the south by the
hills outlying the Atlas Mountains. Cradle of religions,
cultural and artistic traditions, Fes, the double city, is
the kingdom's spiritual capital. The Andalusia mosque,
dating from the 9th century, and further embellished by
successive rulers, is accessed through a mighty door of
sculpted cedar. An imposing minaret decorated with green
faiences crowns the Rsif Mosque. The Medersas around the
Karaouiyne Mosque, former lodging houses for students coming
from outside the city, attest the importance of its thousand
years of history. In the Medina, a labyrinth of sloping,
winding alleyways are crammed full of stalls and workshops.
This is the famed Kissaria -the commercial center. A
multitude of locally produced goods are on sale in this
incredible maze-cotton fabric, silk, brocade work, slippers,
and many more.
The craftsmen of the El Attarine souks offer the visitor a
non-stop spectacle. For hundreds of years such work bas been
regulated by traditional guilds, ensuring that its quality
is worthy of the city. Each district has its own specialty :
cobalt blue enameled pottery, carpets, wrought iron ... one
looks on as the dyer stirs his yarns, steeped in their
multitude of colors, as the tanner tramples his skins under
an open sky -skins that the leather-worker
will eventually adorn with fine gilt for book-binding .
Leaving the souks through the Boujeloud gate with its
decoration of green and blue faiences, the riches contained
in the wonderful Museum of Moroccan Art await one Optional
lunch at the Medina and shopping in the afternoon. Dinner
and overnight at the hotel

through the haze, appear the much greater peaks of the High
Atlas rising sheer behind the town to a massive range, the
