RABAT TO FES



Here we Go!
Ever since the 12th century, Rabat has played an important role in the history of Morocco. Beginning in 1146, the city was transformed into a massive fortress and utilized as a port to launch attacks on neighboring regions. The Medina of Rabat is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is also the site of the ruins of an unfinished mosque that – as originally planned – would have been the largest in the world. Through the centuries, Rabat served as one of the many ports in North Africa for Barbary pirates, and they were particularly active in the port from the 16th through the 18th centuries; the history of their presence is fascinating and resonates to this day. Besides its interesting history, Rabat is also an excellent city for shopping with a number of curios, craft-shops and marketplaces throughout the city. With your private driver and English-speaking guide catering to your needs and interests, your city tour of Rabat is sure to be fun, informative and engaging.
A private vehicle with English speaking driver will provide a transfer between Rabat and Fes. During the transfer, explore the Imperial City of Meknes along with the Roman city of Volubilis. In antiquity, Volubilis was an important Roman town situated near the westernmost border of Roman Empire. It was built on the site of a previous Carthaginian settlement from the third century BC. Volubilis was the administrative center of the province in Roman Africa called Mauretania Tingitana. The fertile lands of the province produced many commodities such as grain and olive oil, which were exported to Rome, contributing to the province's wealth and prosperity. Discover the Imperial city of Meknes known as the “Moroccan Versailles.” Meknes was founded in the 17th century by King Moulay Ismail. It is famous for its 25-mile-long walls. Upon arrival into Fes, a hotel drop-off is provided.

Get a Lay of the Land
Step back in time to the Middle Ages with a visit to Fes el Bali, the world's largest and oldest living medieval medina, and the cultural heart of Morocco. Wander through its maze of 9,000 narrow lanes, alleys, and souks that form the city’s historic core. This UNESCO World Heritage Site was once a renowned hub of learning. At its center stands the Karaouine, one of the oldest universities in the world, which was a leading spiritual and educational center of the Muslim world. Today, it serves as one of Morocco’s major religious institutions, governing Muslim festivities throughout the year across the country. Nearby, discover the Attarine Medersa, a stunning 14th-century Koranic school showcasing exquisite Hispano-Moorish architecture.
Next, visit Nejjarine Square, where a striking mosaic fountain takes center stage. The adjacent Fondouq, a former caravanserai, has been transformed into a museum displaying carpentry artifacts. Fes is also famous for its leather production, where medieval techniques are still used. At the tanneries, you’ll learn about traditional methods of processing goat and cow hides, which are crafted into exquisite leather goods sold in the markets.
Continue your journey to Dar Batha and the Museum of Moroccan Arts, home to a rich collection of wood carvings, embroidery, tribal carpets, and ceramics. Then, explore Fes el Jedid, or "New Fes," built in the 13th century by the Merinid Dynasty. Marvel at the Royal Palace, mosques, synagogues, souks, and ancient city walls. Fes el Jedid is also home to the Mellah, the old Jewish quarter, offering a fascinating glimpse into Jewish architectural heritage.
End your tour with a visit to a pottery workshop to see how the famous zellij tiles are made. These intricate tiles, a hallmark of Arabo-Andalusian dÉcor, are used in crafting the iconic Moroccan tagines. With a private driver and expert guide at your side, discover the essential highlights of Fes over the course of this full-day tour.
This evening, relax in authentic Moroccan style with a traditional tea service paired with freshly baked pastries infused with delicate local flavors. From a charming rooftop cafÉ overlooking the Fes medina, watch as centuries-old rooftops and winding alleys glow in the fading light. Sip fragrant mint tea, savor sweet treats, and soak in sweeping panoramic views, a tranquil moment of indulgence and culture high above the lively streets below.

A Town Frozen in Time
Walk the souks of Fes with your private guide through workshops where crafts brought by Moorish emigrants from Andalusia have been handed down for generations. Leather tanners, ceramic artists, and silk weavers work as they have for centuries, with the open-air tannery and El Attarine spice souk among the standout stops. In the Nejjarine neighborhood, cedar scent drifts through the wood-working souks to a plaza where you watch fabric dyers steep wool and cotton in vivid pigments. Take some time to pick up a souvenir to take home before your driver returns you to your hotel.

It’s All Ancient History
The sweeping and dynamic history of Marrakech – an imperial capital in centuries past – is best appreciated with the help of a private guide. Today, begin your tour of the Ochre City with a visit to the Koutoubia Mosque. Constructed in the 12th century, it’s known for its a beautiful minaret which can be seen from nearly every approach to the city due to a long-standing ordinance that forbids any other building in the old city to rise above the height of a palm tree. After viewing Koutoubia Mosque, visit nearby El-Bahia Palace. Translated to English, the El Bahia Palace means “Palace of Brilliance,” and this incredible, ornate and meticulously crafted property is endowed with some of the finest ceramics in the country. This 19th century palace was built over a seven-year period for Ba Ahmed, the son of the Grand Vizier Si Moussa. Featuring a trapezoidal garden, tiled courtyard, and many hidden treasures in the form of antique objects d'art and the palace's convergence of Andalusian and Moorish architecture, it is a must-see site. Your next stop is one of most coveted archeological sites in Morocco: the Saadian Tombs. Opened to the public in 1917, they are accessed through a narrow passage which leads to an enclosed garden and into two mausoleums that host more than one hundred mosaic-decorated tombs. The Musee De Marrakech, your next stop, is an important example of Moorish architecture, and the main courtyard and chambers are host to impressive feats of design; elaborate archways, gorgeous stained glass, and a collection of ceramics that are sure to dazzle. Finally, wander through the mesmerizing souks of Marrakesh. With 18 souks selling a dizzying array of handicrafts, textiles, spices, foods, electronics, antiques and everything in between, the souks of Marrakech are the perfect place to find a keepsake to bring home, or to simply get in touch with day-to-day life in the Red City.

A Walk Through the Past
Acquired by French painter Jacques Majorelle in 1922 and later by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre BergÉ in 1980, the Jardin Majorelle is among Marrakech's most distinctive spaces. Your private guide leads you through curated plantings of cacti, palms, and rare species set around pools and fountains, then on to the Menara Gardens and its 12th-century pool edged by olive trees and a restored Saadian pavilion. The Yves Saint Laurent Museum follows before the day closes at the Palmery Museum and its sculpture collection.
Step into the spellbinding world of Dar Soukar, a former sugar palace transformed into one of Marrakech’s most iconic dining venues. Here, history and elegance converge as you savor a refined Moroccan dinner in a setting of architectural splendor. As night falls, the atmosphere comes alive with captivating performances that include traditional music, Andalusian rhythms, mesmerizing belly dancing, and acrobatic artistry, all weaving together to create a feast for the senses. This magical evening celebrates the perfect harmony of gastronomy and culture, leaving you with memories as vibrant as Marrakech itself.
