In the northeast of Morocco, surrounded by a magnificent landscape, we set off toward Chefchaouen, a place full of charm and authenticity. In Chefchaouen, with its lush nature and blue-painted houses, the places we will visit include the narrow streets lined with whitewashed, light-blue-decorated houses with Mediterranean-style architecture, the Grand Mosque, El Masjid, El Adama, Mohammed V Square, the Medina, and the Kasbah.

During our city tour, we also do not miss a tea break with mint tea in a traditional riad. After our tour, we head to Rabat, the capital of the country, where we will take our city tour. In our Rabat city tour, we will see iconic places such as the Kasbah of the Udayas, with its blue-and-white houses and its location overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the Hassan Tower, a minaret whose construction began in the 12th century but was never completed, and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, the memorial tomb of King Mohammed V. Then we proceed to Casablanca and begin our city tour there. The city owes its fame to the famous Hollywood film Casablanca, which tells the story of the era and is remembered by the line “Play it again, Sam.” Today, Casablanca is an industrial city that has one of the largest ports in Africa and in the country; among the places we will see are Mohammed V Square, considered the administrative and cultural center of Casablanca, Rick’s Cafe, inspired by the location where the film Casablanca was shot, Hassan II Mosque on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, and Anfa and Zerktouni Boulevards, two of the liveliest avenues of the modern city.

As we explore this historic settlement on foot, one of the best-preserved examples of Berber kasbah architecture, we have the opportunity to feel the traces of history in the fortress’s streets. Later, we visit the Atlas Film Studios, known as “Africa’s Hollywood,” where many international productions such as Gladiator, The Mummy, and Game of Thrones were filmed. Here we see the film sets and historical decorations. We continue exploring Ouarzazate amidst the enchanting desert landscapes, dramatic canyons, and lush palm groves of the surrounding region.
