Morocco Total Eclipse

Once you have arrived into Casablanca, a representative will transfer you to our accommodation, where you can relax by the pool ahead of a 6 pm pre-departure meeting, when you will meet your guide and fellow travellers.

Tonight, we have dinner together - a good chance to meet the group before the tour gets underway.

Please note: the arrival transfer is only included if your pre-tour accommodation is booked directly with us for our joining point.Please note: if you take a local taxi instead, check the price displayed at the taxi rank before departing.

With an early start this morning, we travel to Rabat, the official capital of Morocco. On arrival, we join a guided tour taking in the city's major landmarks, including the Hassan Tower and the Mausoleum of Mohamed V and his son Hassan II. Afterwards, we visit the Oudaya Kasbah, a fortified building once used to defend the city against European invasion.

We continue to Chefchaouen, known as the Blue Pearl, for a guided tour late this afternoon. Set high in the Rif Mountains, historic Chefchaouen is known for its blue doors and white-walled medina, originally built as a Berber defence post. The main square lies at the heart of the town, home to an 18th-century Kasbah, a central Mosque, and cafes serving authentic menus. We wander through the narrow alleyways and blue-painted streets, taking in the tranquil atmosphere.

You can also join an optional cooking class today, at an additional cost.

After breakfast, you have some free time in Chefchaouen this morning before we drive to Tetouan, arriving between 2 pm and 2:30 pm. Here, you have free time to explore this charming northern city. You can admire the exterior of the Royal Palace, discover the elegant architecture of Our Lady of Victories Church, or simply relax at a local cafe with a coffee or mint tea while watching daily life unfold around you.

Tonight, we enjoy dinner together, included as part of the tour.

This morning, we watch a total solar eclipse from the coast near Tetouan, a rare and memorable experience as the moon passes in front of the sun. Afterwards, we drive to Fes, the oldest and largest medieval city in the world.

You can also enjoy an evening of Moroccan entertainment and dinner in town tonight, at an additional cost.

Today, we take a fully guided tour of Fes - a city of different aromas, winding passages, and lively sounds and sights - following one of five themed tourist circuits, taking in mosques and palaces along the way. We explore the tanneries, souks and potteries of the mystifying Medina, learning about the city's fascinating history as we pass the houses of the historic Jewish Quarter.

Please note: only Muslims are permitted to enter mosques in Morocco.

This morning, we leave Fes at around 8:30 am for Volubilis, where we visit the Roman ruins and learn about this archaeological site and its Moroccan history. After a lunch stop in Meknes, with some free time, we continue to Casablanca, in time to visit the Hassan II Mosque at 4 pm.

Your tour comes to an end after breakfast this morning, and it's time to say goodbye.
