Abercrombie & Kent: Tailor Made Morocco: A Family Adventure
Day 1 Casablanca, Morocco
Arrive in Casablanca, where you are met and transferred to your hotel overlooking the medina.
Discover the port city of Casablanca on a guided tour that includes a visit to the enormous Hassan II Grand Mosque, which juts out over the top of the Atlantic Ocean. At night, lasers shine from the top of its minaret, which is the tallest of its kind in the world. See the colorful Habous Market. Later, journey overland to Fez and on to your hotel, a traditional riad originally built for the noble Fassi family. Enjoy the rest of your day at leisure or begin exploring this bustling imperial city as a family.
Explore imperial, timeless Fez el-Bali (Old Fez), the cultural heart of Morocco. Walk its mysterious narrow lanes, alleys and souks in the medina, and then visit one of the oldest universities in the world, the Karaouine. Feel like you are part of an ancient story when you explore the beautiful 14th-century Attarine Madrasa. Take a walking tour down from Bab Boujloud to the former home of Jewish philosopher Maimonides and then to the mosaic-tiled Nejjarine fountain. All Moroccan kids will tell you that the best nougat is made in Fez; find out for yourself when you try this sweet candy from a local seller. After lunch, meet with a master artisan who teaches you how to make your own drum. Once you build and decorate your instrument, play the role of a Moroccan musician during a fun drumming session.
Spend the morning baking up a storm with a dada (traditional family cook), who teaches you how to make traditional Moroccan bread and cookies. The best part: enjoying your creations. The afternoon is yours at leisure, free to relax or explore Fez on your own.
After breakfast, drive to Volubilis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its enormous, well-preserved Roman ruins. See its triumphal arches, basilicas and capitals. In its fantastic mosaic floors, discover legendary stories from Orpheus charming animals with his lyre to Amphitrite driving a chariot drawn by a seahorse. Continue on to Meknes, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the imperial cities of Morocco. Its impressive monuments recall the splendor of a fortified city, first built in the 17th century by the powerful sultan Moulay Ismail, to rival the court of his contemporary, Louis XIV of France. Later, proceed overland to Rabat and to your charming hotel, where you may have time for a swim in the pool.
Join your private guide for a city tour highlighting Rabat’s cultural influences and the superbly preserved relics of its Moorish past. See the powerful red-orange Hassan Tower, built in 1195 atop a bluff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The tower is located next to a mausoleum dedicated to Mohamed V, the founder of modern Morocco and grandfather of the current king. Travel overland to Marrakech, the “Pearl of the South,” and arrive at your sprawling luxury resort lined with trees and fountains.
Today, you discover the secrets of fascinating Marrakech, beginning with a morning adventure through its medina, the old walled section of town. Follow your private guide to its amazing architectural jewels, including the soaring minaret at the Koutoubia mosque, considered the most perfect Islamic religious structure in North Africa. Next, have some fun with costumes when you visit the Ali Baba Cave shop. Dress up in fancy Moroccan attire fit for royalty, and then set out to explore the medina while a photographer captures your glamorous adventure. Later, visit Djemaa el-Fna, Marrakech’s main square, which is alive with the action and energy of vendors, fire-eaters, snake charmers and street musicians. Explore its fabled, labyrinthine souks, their bustling alleyways brimming with fabulous souvenirs.
Join a chef for a culinary odyssey that begins in a little garden on a farm just outside the city. Pick your own vegetables, join your chef for a tagine cooking lesson, and then walk to a nearby Berber village to try mint tea at a local house. Return to the farm to enjoy the lunch you prepared. Next, choose from four adventurous options: a tour of exotic Moroccan gardens and lily-covered pools; a thrilling ATV tour by Lalla Takaskoust lake; a magical camel ride through the palm grove; or a bike ride around the city’s ancient ramparts.
Transfer to the airport and board your homebound flight.
Rabat is the political and administrative capital of Morocco as well as the King's official residence, The Royal Palace. Across from the Royal Palace is the king's own mosque which is a wonderful example of Islamic architecture.
The city of Rabat is very clean and boasts both old Muslim quarters and beautiful remains of all periods of Moroccan history. The Oudaia Gate dates back to the Almonca Period. Its purpose is said to be ceremonial; the sight is beautiful. Another attraction, The Kasbah des Oudaia is both beautiful and peaceful. The Andalucian Gardens belong to the 20th century and boast the Museum of Moroccan Arts. Most of the houses in Rabat are painted white and have blue painted parapets.
