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.
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.
Atlantic coast cities sit at one end of the route, then the imperial cities of Meknes and Fez, then the High Atlas Mountains before Marrakech. The emphasis stays on historic medinas throughout.
Accommodation is in a mix of riads and hotels along the route, chosen for authentic character close to each city's historic centre. Private transport carries you between stops.
Medina streets are cobbled and sometimes crowded, so this tour involves significant walking. No specific fitness level is required, though sturdy footwear helps on uneven ground.
Modest clothing is appreciated at religious sites. Comfortable, sturdy footwear is strongly recommended throughout.
Based in Marrakech, we work from local knowledge of these historic centres. An English-speaking resident tour manager and local guides travel with you throughout the trip.
