Good to know
Casablanca is where most long-haul flights land, so starting here saves you a domestic connection. Your driver-guide meets you at Mohammed V airport, and your first stop is the Hassan II Mosque, built over the Atlantic with a minaret around 210 metres high.
From Casablanca the country opens in every direction: north to Rabat, Asilah, Tangier and blue Chefchaouen, east to Roman Volubilis, Meknes and Fes, and south over the Middle Atlas to the dunes of Merzouga before the road turns west to Marrakech.
These are longer itineraries, from six to nineteen days, designed for travellers who want to see the whole country at a comfortable pace. Guided visits of Fes and Marrakech are included on the longer tours, and every route can be adjusted to your flight times.
