After our tour, we transfer to our hotel. Dinner and overnight stay at the hotel.
Day 2: Casablanca – Marrakech
After the morning breakfast at the hotel, we depart for Marrakech. Upon arrival in Marrakech, we begin to explore the city, whose name derives from the Berber word "mur akush," meaning "Land of God" in the language of North Africa's oldest indigenous people, the Berbers. With its narrow streets, Marrakech will take you back centuries. Known as the "Red City" due to its famous red walls, Marrakech is one of Morocco's most important tourist centers. During our city tour, we will visit the Bahia Palace, which offers a wonderful impression of what it was like to be an aristocrat in 19th-century Morocco; the Koutoubia Minaret, one of the city's most iconic landmarks; the Majorelle Gardens, home to plant collections from all over the world; and Djemaa El Fna square, known as the "Courtyard of Souks and Miracles," the heart of the city.

Essaouira, whose streets have hosted civilizations since ancient times, is located on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean and is known for its whitewashed old city walls surrounding the medina (city center), narrow streets, and traditional markets. The city center, listed by UNESCO as a 'World Heritage' site, is a tranquil coastal town where art and culture intertwine, in addition to being a fishing port. A very calm atmosphere prevails in the city, offering visitors a relaxing escape compared to Marrakech. Over the years, this atmosphere has attracted many world-famous artists such as Cat Stevens, Jimi Hendrix, and Orson Welles, turning the city into a center of art and culture.

Due to its clean air, wide avenues, and mountain-style architecture with sloped roofs, it is called "Switzerland of Morocco." After our tour here, we proceed to Fes. In accordance with the tradition of naming countries after their capitals, as seen in Tunisia and Algeria, Morocco takes its name from the city of Fes. The walled city, built around the Fez River flowing from west to east, is also known as "The Mecca of the West." The city center of Fes is listed as a World Heritage Site and is one of the largest and oldest urban pedestrian areas in the world.
