Marrakech and Casablanca Tour

Meeting at the Turkish Airlines check-in counter in the international departures terminal of Istanbul Airport 3 hours before the flight. After luggage and ticket procedures, we depart for Casablanca at 11:50 on Turkish Airlines flight TK617. Arriving in Casablanca at 14:50 local time, our city tour of Casablanca begins with our vehicle waiting for us at the airport. Known for the 1942 Hollywood film that shares its name, Casablanca is not only the economic center of Morocco but also the most populous city in the country. As we wander through the narrow streets of the city, you can observe the rich cultural influences of Islam, French, and Berber heritage. Highlights of our tour include Mohammed V Square, the United Nations Square where Morocco's past and present blend beautifully, the magnificent Hassan II Mosque known for its impressive structure and being home to the second tallest minaret in the world, the Old Medina, the Hobus district famous for its open-air markets, and the coastal strip along the Atlantic Ocean featuring Ain Diab and Corniche. After the tour, transfer to our hotel and enjoy free time. Dinner and overnight stay at the hotel.

After enjoying breakfast at the hotel, we will set off for the magnificent capital of Morocco, Rabat. Following our arrival, we will embark on a panoramic city tour, where we will visit the Hassan Tower and the Mohammed V Mausoleum, built in memory of the current king's grandfather, who was a pioneer of Morocco's independence, as well as the Royal Palace. After our tour, we will head towards Marrakech. Upon our arrival in Marrakech, we will begin exploring this city, which takes you back centuries with its narrow streets and derives its name from the Berber language meaning "Land of God." Known as the "Red City" due to its famous red walls, Marrakech is one of the country's most important tourist centers. During our city tour, we will visit the Bahia Palace, which offers a wonderful impression of what it was like to be an aristocrat in 19th-century Morocco, the Koutoubia Minaret, one of the city's most important symbols, the Majorelle Gardens, which host a plant collection from around the world, and the heart of the city, the Djemaa El Fna square, also known as the "Souks and Wonders Courtyard." After our exploration, we will transfer to our hotel and enjoy some free time.

After enjoying breakfast at the hotel, we will join the UNESCO World Heritage Magnificent Essaouira Tour. Essaouira, which has hosted civilizations since prehistoric times, is located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean and is known for its white-washed old city walls, narrow streets, and traditional markets. This city center, listed as a "World Heritage" site by UNESCO, is not only a fishing port but also a tranquil seaside town where art and culture intertwine. The atmosphere here offers visitors a relaxing escape, significantly calmer compared to Marrakech. Over the years, this ambiance has attracted many world-renowned artists such as Cat Stevens, Jimi Hendrix, and Orson Welles, turning the city into a hub of art and culture. The town has also recently served as a filming location for the famous Game Of Thrones series. During our tour, we will visit the Essaouira walls and Essaouira Castle, the Essaouira Port where the fish market is located, and the world-famous Medina. While exploring Essaouira, which carries the elegance of traditional Moroccan architecture alongside traces of modern life, you will also have the opportunity to enjoy shopping.

After enjoying breakfast at the hotel, we will embark on a tour of the Majestic Atlas Mountains and Ourika Valley. The highest peak of the mountain range, which acts as a wall separating the Mediterranean coast of Northwest Africa from the Sahara Desert, is Toubkal, located near Marrakech. The mountains also host a rich natural habitat that includes numerous plant and animal species, many of which are at risk of extinction. The unique cultures and lifestyles of the Berbers, the oldest indigenous people of North Africa who primarily make up the region's population, offer visitors a different experience against the backdrop of the mountains' grandeur. During our break in the Ourika Valley at the foothills of the Atlas, we will find peace under the spell of natural beauty. After our excursion, we will return to Marrakech. Dinner and overnight stay will be at the hotel.

After enjoying breakfast at the hotel and completing the check-out procedures, you will have some free time. Later, we will depart for the airport at the time indicated by our guide.
