Upon your arrival at Casablanca airport, your guide will greet you, and you 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 Morocco's rich history. This scenic drive, approximately 45 miles long, passes through lush farmland and nurseries that grow a variety of flowers and exotic plants. After check-in and relaxing in the morning, you may choose to do the half-day city tour of Rabat. <p>Rabat is laid out in a spacious, elegant European grid style. Slightly self-conscious of its modernity, Rabat and its twin city, Salé, are separated by only a river. Still, historically, they are worlds apart, with an ancient legacy spanning hundreds of generations. Each civilization that inhabited the area has left its mark, resulting in a variety of architectural styles, including those from the Phoenician and Roman eras. The city tour, which is both 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 conventional 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 the Mohamed 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 transformed it into 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.
Traveling from Chefchaouen across the beautiful backroads of the Rif Mountains is a journey through sprawling farming settlements from Roman times, through Berber villages, and into 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 with 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 to 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 accommodations will be provided at 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 scenery and exquisite Berber villages fill the vistas. Dinner and overnight accommodations are provided at 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 era, crossing one of the most remote Berber nomadic territories inhabited by sheep and goat herders. 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 in the region, and proceed later to Sefrou, an ancient trade outpost dating back to Phoenician times and a center of Jewish heritage since the dawn of time. Visit villages and souks in 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 outside its walls and owes nothing to the Western world to save electricity. Time spent in Fez reveals much about the sophistication of Moroccan artisans, providing an unparalleled learning experience for those who cross their path. <p>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 prayer in a city that has responded to these calls for 12 centuries. You can drive down the hill to the gate of Bab Guissa to leave your vehicle and enter a world that belongs to a bygone era. Fez has preserved its integrity, and the Medina remains unchanged for centuries. Not even a bicycle can be used as a means of transportation. Only donkeys, mules, and horses can help move everything the city produces and needs as supplies. The first guilds you will immediately encounter are the cobblers. The saddlers and blacksmiths are interlaced by some caravansaries for tribe members who come from the surrounding areas to trade and supply their needs.</p> <p>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, where you can enjoy a variety of 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 then visit the great Mosque 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 Dyer's 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. </p>
After breakfast, our small group will depart for Casablanca, a 2.5-hour drive away. However, the entire day will be spent touring the major historical points of 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.</p> <p> 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 time allows, you will also visit the highlights of Casablanca with your guide, if of interest. 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's oases and dunes.
