Morocco Imperial Cities Tours
Rabat, Meknes, Fes and Marrakech each served as the capital of a Moroccan dynasty, and our private tours from Casablanca connect these imperial cities in 2 to 10 days. You travel with your own driver and visit the medinas, palaces and monuments with official local guides.
Short tours focus on Rabat, Chefchaouen and Fes; longer ones add the Roman ruins of Volubilis, Marrakech and the Atlantic town of Essaouira. To add a night in the dunes, see our Sahara desert tours.
