Walking Morocco's medinas is the point of this eight-day route, from the labyrinth of Fez el-Bali to the souks and squares of Marrakech. These historic centres are among the best-preserved medieval city cores in the world. You'll have time to explore them properly rather than passing through.

🕌 What to Expect
Casablanca opens the trip with the Hassan II Mosque before you continue to Rabat, then Meknes and the Roman ruins of Volubilis, where 2,000-year-old mosaics remain intact. Several days are spent in Fez, walking the alleyways of Fez el-Bali. Your guide takes you through Moorish tilework and artisan workshops in one of the oldest medieval university cities in the world.
After Fez, the route crosses the High Atlas Mountains, with a stop at a Berber village for mint tea and conversation. You'll finish in Marrakech, where the focus shifts to the medina's souks, spice markets and Jemaa el-Fna square, especially lively with street performers at sunset.
