After baggage, ticket, and boarding procedures, our flight to Casablanca begins with a scheduled Air Arabia Airlines service. Upon arrival at Casablanca Airport, we transfer to Marrakech by our private bus waiting for us at the airport. Upon arrival in Marrakech, we set off for our full-day Red City Marrakech tour. After our panoramic city tour, where we will see the Koutoubia Minaret and Jemaa el Fna, the largest square in Africa, bustling with street performances, snake charmers, and open-air restaurants, among the places we will visit is the Bahia Palace, adorned with country-specific tiles. Since the early 1900s, Marrakech has been one of the favorite places of many European fashion designers, artists, musicians, and adventurers, especially French ones. As an important hub for African trade, it also contains all the colors of Africa. Once a city that influenced Islamic art and philosophy, it still preserves medieval traditions of life in its medina. Then we will visit Jardin Majorelle, Yves Saint Laurent’s secret garden, one of the finest examples of Moroccan architecture. There will be unique plants in the garden that we will have the opportunity to see and photograph. After the tour, transfer to our hotel and free time. Dinner and accommodation at our hotel.

Then we arrive in the city of Essaouira, located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. It is a world-famous former Portuguese city that reminds us of old Bodrum. Declared a “World Heritage” site by UNESCO, the city is not only a fishing port on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean and a seaside town where art and culture intertwine, but has also served as the setting for many productions such as Orson Welles’s Othello and the recently very popular series Game of Thrones.

You can explore the city and enjoy pleasant shopping among its narrow labyrinth-like streets that you will never tire of wandering through. After our tour, transfer to Casablanca. Casablanca owes its fame to the famous film “Casablanca,” which depicts the era and is remembered for the line “Play It Again, Sam,” and which hosted the negotiations of the parties during World War II as well as very intense espionage activities. Today, Casablanca is an industrial city that has one of Africa’s and the country’s largest ports.
