Welcome to magical Morocco! Upon your arrival at Casablanca Airport (CMN) or your designated accommodation, you’ll be warmly greeted by a representative from Morocco Getaway. Get ready for the incredible adventure of a lifetime as we journey to Rabat, the current capital of Morocco.
Begin your exploration with a visit to the Hassan Tower, a historical landmark that has remained incomplete since 1199. Commissioned by Abu Yusuf Yaqub al-Mansur, the tower was intended to be the minaret for the world’s largest mosque. Unfortunately, the project was abandoned upon the sultan’s passing in 1199. The site now features partial outer walls, 348 columns, and a minaret standing at half of its intended height, reaching 140 feet instead of the planned 260 feet.
Adjacent to the Hassan Tower is the Mohammed V Mausoleum, an architectural masterpiece in the Alaouite style. The mausoleum houses the tombs of Mohammed V, the current king’s grandfather, along with the king’s father, Hassan II, and his uncle, Prince Abdallah. Admire the elegance of the white walls and green-tiled roof as you explore this historical site.
Afterward, we continue to Chefchaouen, nestled in the grand Rif Mountains. As we ascend the mountain roads, the charming town slowly reveals its iconic blue and white-washed houses against the picturesque backdrop of the two-horned peaks. Chefchaouen, often referred to as the Blue City, captivates visitors with its unique charm.
Upon arrival, immerse yourself in the enchanting atmosphere of Chefchaouen without a guide on this first day. Explore the winding lanes, vibrant markets, and serene squares at your own pace. Absorb the tranquility of this blue-hued gem, where every corner tells a story of cultural richness and artistic expression. Engage with the friendly locals, sample local cuisine, and enjoy the distinct ambiance that defines Chefchaouen.
