Focused on the four Imperial capitals, this is a fascinating tour of Morocco’s history, mysteries, and monuments, from mesmerising Marrakech to fountains in fabulous Fez, ravishing Rabat, the current capital, and medieval Meknes, least known and less visited

Homing in on Morocco’s highlights, this tour includes visits to five UNESCO World Heritage sites. The first is the medieval medina of Marrakech, in its heyday the capital of an empire from Spain to Senegal, with eighteen souks, and 3,000 alleyways leading who-knows-where. From here we travel to Rabat, spreading from the banks of the Bou Regreg River to the Atlantic shore, its Kasbah a capsule of calm, its UNESCO listing covering both the Modern Capital and Heritage City. The Archaeological Site of Roman Volubilis is recognised as one of the richest sites of the period in North Africa, with evidence of several civilisations over the thousand years that the city was occupied; and we visit nearby Moulay Idriss, not yet listed but under consideration by UNESCO for its spiritual character and religious architecture. Our fourth site is the Medina of Fez, filled with 14th and 15th-century fountains, mosques and palaces, its labyrinthine lanes opening onto lovely squares; and the last on the list is uncrowded Meknes, where the magnificent Bab el Mansour gate leads into the walled medina, a blend of Islamic and Maghreb styles. The tour concludes in Casablanca, intriguing, if not as romantic as the Bogart/Bergman film suggests.
