Day 2 CASABLANCA - MARRAKECH
In the morning, we will visit the exteriors of Hassan II mosque, boasting the world's tallest minaret, and have a refreshing walk along the corniche before continuing to Morocco's jewel, the red city of Marrakech. There, we will visit the beautiful Majorelle garden, which used to belong to the famous designer Yves Saint Laurent. We suggest you spend your free evening at the lively Jemma el-Fna square (Unesco) in the heart of the city, bustling with snake charmers, story tellers, acrobats and other entertainers. Dinner and overnight.
Day 3 MARRAKECH
In the morning, we will visit the highlights of the city, starting with the 12th century Koutoubia mosque. Its famous minaret is still the tallest building in Marrakech, and it is forbidden to build any structure exceeding its height. We will continue with the beautiful 19th century Bahia palace, and then take a walk through the colourful souks. You will have the afternoon free to explore the narrow alleyways of the old medina, indulge in a hammam, sip mint tea and observe the life around you, or visit one of the city's many parks. Possibilities are limitless, and your guide will be happy to make a few suggestions. Dinner and overnight.
