Get inspired and enjoy a memorable journey exploring Morocco’s rich history and culture.

From Casablanca to the Holy City Moulay Driss
Start your inspiring journey at 08:00, when your driver picks you up from your hotel or riad. First stop may include Rabat, the royal capital of Morocco, where, if time permits, you can see the unfinished Hassan Mosque, which was planned to be the largest mosque in the world. Enjoy the morning breeze of the Atlantic Ocean overlooking the mosque. Continue your trip with optional photo stops along the way before arriving at Moulay Idriss, the holy city.

The city is not always open to non-Muslims, but if accessible, you may explore it from the inside. The panoramic view from the hill, along with the green-tiled roofs and white-washed walls covering the city, creates an unforgettable experience.

Meknes & Volubilis
Arrive in Meknes around 12:00. Take a break and enjoy lunch at your own expense in a recommended local restaurant. Afterward, a professional guide (optional) will take you through the ancient medina and monuments, providing insights into Moroccan heritage, artisanal products, and local markets.

No visit to Meknes is complete without some shopping in the Medina. Then, continue to Volubilis, the Roman ruins dating back to the 3rd century BC. Marvel at the soaring arches, panoramic views, and well-preserved mosaics. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a highlight of any Moroccan excursion.

Finally, return to Casablanca by 17:00, completing the full-day excursion from Casablanca to Volubilis, Moulay Driss, and Meknes.
