Day 1 : Tangier – Rabat guided Tour
Distance: 250km Time on the road: 3h
Upon your arrival in Tangier our 4 Day Imperial Cities Tour starts with pick up whether by boat, plane, or from your hotel—you will be greeted by our driver for your transfer to Rabat, Morocco’s historic imperial capital.
Along the way, you’ll pass Larache, a charming Arab-Andalusian town on the Atlantic coast. In Rabat, your guided tour includes the iconic Oudayas Kasbah, the bustling Medina with its souks, and the Almohad and Andalusian walls. You’ll also visit the Hassan Tower, the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, and the Chellah Necropolis, where Roman and Islamic ruins tell stories of past centuries and our 4 Day Imperial Cities Tour takes a place today in Rabat. Overnight stay in Rabat.
Day 2 : Rabat – Meknes – Volubilis – Fes
Distance: 255km Time on the road: 4h 30min
After breakfast, our 4 Day Imperial Cities Tour continues from Rabat to Meknes through wide agricultural plains, stopping to photograph the impressive Bab El Mansour gate. Your city tour of Meknes includes the Sahrij Souani stables, the historic Medina, and the beautiful Royal Palace.
We then continue to Moulay Idriss, Morocco’s holy city, where you’ll have time to relax before exploring the famous Roman ruins of Volubilis. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of Morocco’s most remarkable archaeological treasures. After the visit, we drive to the imperial city of Fes for an overnight stay.
Day 3 : Fes – Guided tour of the Medina
Distance: 10 minutes and you will walk in The Medina with local guide
After breakfast, our 4 Day Imperial Cities Tour spends the entire day exploring Fes, Morocco’s spiritual and cultural capital. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Fes is the country’s oldest imperial city and home to the world’s first university, founded in the 9th century. With its remarkably well-preserved medieval architecture, Fes feels like a living museum, where time stands still between the Middle Ages and the present day.
As you wander through the labyrinth of 9,000 narrow streets in the Fes Medina, you will encounter lively markets filled with fresh produce, fragrant spices, and traditional Moroccan sweets flavored with cinnamon and honey. Donkeys and mules remain the main means of transportation, adding to the authentic atmosphere. The rhythmic hammering of metalworkers crafting pots and utensils, combined with the echoing call to prayer, creates a timeless soundscape that has endured for centuries.
Your guided tour will also take you through the bustling souks of Fes, where master artisans still practice age-old crafts: handwoven silk and Berber carpets, leather goods, gold and silver jewelry, and more.
After an enriching day discovering the treasures of Fes Medina, your driver will return you to your hotel for the evening.
Day 4 : Fes – Chefchaouen – Tangier
Distance: 310km Time on the road: 5h 30min
Our 4 Day Imperial Cities Tour starts today after breakfast at your Riad, we continue the journey back to Tangier with a stop in the famous blue town of Chefchaouen. Nestled between two mountain peaks known as Ech-Chaoua (“The Horns”), this charming village is filled with narrow, winding alleys, white-and-indigo limewashed houses, red-tiled rooftops, and beautifully carved doors. Relax in a small restaurant overlooking the medina for lunch before we drive you back to Tangier, where your Morocco tour concludes.
