Upon your arrival at Casablanca airport, your guide will greet you, who will take on your overland truck's first journey along the Atlantic shore to the magnificent city of Rabat. Your guide will immerse you in the history of Morocco. This scenic drive of about 45 miles passes through lush farmland and nurseries growing various flowers and exotic plants. After check-in and relaxing in the morning, you may choose to do the half-day city tour of Rabat.
Rabat is laid out spaciously elegant European grid style. Slightly self-conscious of its modernity, Rabat and its twin city, Sala Colonia, are separated by only a river. Still, historically they are worlds apart, with an ancient legacy spanning hundreds of generations. Each civilization inhabited by both cities has left its mark, resulting in various architectural styles, including those from the Phoenician and Roman eras.
The city tour, historical and lively, will start at the Jewish quarter in the Mellah. In the Heart of the city at Place Sidi Makhlouf, the 12th-century ramparts are best seen. Next, you will visit Bab Chellah and the medina across from Sidi Fateh Street. This will lead you to the traditional Souk Laghzel (Yarn market). Your guide will introduce you to the importance of the textile guild and its role in Moroccan society. Later you will cross to the citadel of the Oudaya Kasbah, entering from its 12th-century main gate to explore an extraordinary Medieval Moorish marvel overlooking the delta of the Bourgreg River. You can visit the Moorish old-fashioned gardens, a traditional coffee house, and the Oudaya Museum of tribal arts and Crafts. A docent will introduce you to the traditional Berber Textiles.
You will continue your quest by exiting the Oudaya Kasbah and proceeding up the hill to visit the Hassan Tower and see samples of the authentic Moroccan architecture at its best at Mohamed the V Mausoleum. From here, we will drive through the boulevards and Gardens of Rabat, visiting the Saint Pierre Cathedral, the Parliament, the Sunna Mosque, and the Royal Palace through the magnificent Ramparts and by the tower standing proud and glorious to reach the Necropolis of Chellah at the end (Hotel accommodation).
After breakfast, we will hop on our overland truck and head to Chefchaouen. Travel to Ourzigh in the Jbala mountains to reach the holy city of Ouazzane. After being the only lost village called Dchera Jabal Erihan (the village on the mountain of Myrtles), the distinguished Idrissid Sherif Moulay Abdullah Ben Brahim made out of it a center of Sufism and the birthplace of the Taibia Sufi order. Visit the historic sites with your local guide and proceed to discover Chefchaouen, one of the old Moorish white towns.
Travel from Chefchaouen across the Rif Mountains' beautiful backroads is the sprawling farming settlement from the Roman time through Berber villages and biblical Fez el Bali settings. Then, experience the unique Berber and Moorish lifestyles in the Amergou Mountains. This trek will be lined by picturesque villages with majestic evergreen forests providing a natural backdrop. (Camping overnight)
Start your day by an excursion to hike in the Tamesnit, in the heart of the Rif Mountains, the Belvedere of Lalla Outka, and the isolated shrine of Moulay Bouchta el Khammar (master of music). The shrine is also a pilgrimage destination for Berber musicians who come to pay their respect and seek blessings.
Drive to Taza in the afternoon riding your overland truck, an ancient city that stands as the gateway of the Middle Atlas. We will cross the Rif Massif surrounded by the pine acacia, and cedar trees, as far as the eye can see. Monkeys can also be seen, along with thousands of bird species. Dinner and overnight will be in the hotel.
After breakfast, our local guide will take you on a historic visit to Taza. Hike for the whole afternoon through the ranges of the Bouyeblan at heights exceeding 11,200 feet. Breathtaking sceneries and exquisite Berber villages fill the vistas. Dinner and overnight are in the hotel.
Drive overland to reach the highest pass of the Bouyeblan Ranges, visiting Chiker caves and Immouzer Marmoucha waterfalls. Take a journey back in time and encounter life as it used to be in the Neolithic time, crossing one of the most remote Berber nomadic territories of sheep and goats pastors. This is a trek in the best natural setting without calling an eco-tour, as the environment is still taking its natural course. Dinner and accommodation will be at a Berber Guesthouse in Sekoura Village.
Travel through the ranges of Sebou across unexplored trails on your overland truck. Make a stop at Ribat al Khayer to explore a typical Berber village of the region, and proceed later to Sefrou, an ancient trade outpost from the Phoenician time and a center of Jewish heritage from the dawn of time. Visit villages and souks to Fez. Dinner and accommodation are in the hotel.
You will spend the entire day exploring the Medina of Fez and discovering its fascinating Souks. Fez stimulates the senses with its haunting yet beautiful sounds, visual splendor, and evocative smells. The most ancient of imperial capitals and the complete medieval city of the Islamic world, Fez is reminiscent of a city suspended in time. It is unfazed by the constantly evolving world outsides its walls and owes nothing to the Western world to save electricity. Time spent in Fez will reveal much about the sophistication of the Moroccan artisan, providing an unparalleled learning experience to those who cross its path.
Our specialized guide will take you on a historic discovery of the city of Fez starting at the King's Palace and its Meshwar with ramparts and majestic gates in the Jewish quarter, a 15th-century citadel with its Moorish maze architecture and medieval glory. Visits to Sephardic synagogues and mausoleums of holy Rabbis will be the highlights of this part of town. Then we will drive to the Merinids hill to visit their necropolis where you will enjoy the best panoramic view of the Old Walled Medina, brimming with all its countless minarets calling the faithful to prayers in a city that has responded to these calls for 12 centuries. Drive down the hill to the gate of Bab Guissa to leave your vehicle and enter a world that belongs to an ancient time. Fez has conserved its integrity and the Medina is still as it was centuries ago. Not even a bicycle is able to be used as a tool of transportation. Only donkeys, mules, and horses are able to help move everything the city produces and needs as supplies. The first guilds you will immediately encounter are the cobblers, then the saddlers and blacksmiths interlaced by some caravansaries for tribesmen who come from the surrounding areas to trade and supply their needs.
Down the hill to Juteya you will encounter all sorts of crafts but noticeably carpenters and leather workers as one of the traditional tanneries is not far. This walk will lead you to El Ashabine square with its different activities. From there we will wind our way to the Sgha square which will lead us to Attarine, then souk el henna and the Mausoleum of Moulay Idris, the founder of Fez. Next to it, you will visit the Nejjarine square with its famous fountain, its guild of carpentry, the museum of folk arts at the Fondouk, the tannery, and on to visit the great Mosque university of Al Quarrawiyyine. You will then pass by the market of dried fruits, the Medersa Attarine to the Sbetryyine bookbinders, the Seffarine Square where the tapping of metalworkers is still deafening to passersby as it has been for centuries. You will break for lunch and then continue exploring the marvels of the Fez Medina. These will be highlighted by the Dyers souk, Foundouk Tetouan, the shrine of Sidi Ahmed Tijani, and then on to foundouk Lihoudi where a family will host you for a traditional mint tea in their home. Return to your hotel for dinner and accommodations.
After breakfast, our small group will depart for Casablanca, about a 2.5-hour drive. However, the whole day will be spent touring major points of historical interest between the two cities. You will travel overland to Meknes on an excursion that embodies a large part of Morocco's early history. En route to Meknes, you will travel through the Zaer confederation, where fertile, large-scale farms and vineyards are abundant. You will also see the Zemmour Berber tribes starting at Ti felt, known for wearing their colorful Moroccan hats as a sign of wealth among farming communities. You will then see the hills of Zemmour starting at Khemisset, a city known for its exquisite Kilims. You will proceed to Meknes, a city created to rival Fez. Meknes is what Moroccans call the Versailles of Morocco.
Ten miles outside Moulay Idriss Sanctuary, you will find the ruins of Volubilis, Morocco's Roman provincial capital. It is a Roman city that survived in its authentic style until the 17th-century earthquake in Lisbon. Volubilis is still one of the world's largest and most complete Roman sites. Less than a mile east on the other side of the hill, you will discover the gem of Morocco, Moulay Idris, a creation of the country's premier Arab dynasty and the birthplace of the Islamic faith in Morocco. It is an 8th-century town that has stayed faithful to its existence. If it is of interest and time allows, you will also visit the highlights of Casablanca with your guide. Farewell Dinner is at the Hotel with your Group Tour.
Depart from Casablanca with a memorable trip of a lifetime exploring Morocco's best natural and historical aspects. Come back and join us on another Overland Morocco Adventure Expedition visiting the Atlas Mountains peaks and valleys and the Sahara desert oases and dunes.
