But first, we will visit the Hassan II Mosque, the largest mosque in Africa and the only mosque where non-Muslims can enter and explore this gorgeous artwork. From Casablanca, you will drive to the capital city of Morocco ‘Rabat’, which is one of the four imperial cities. Here, you can visit the Oudaya Kasbah and the famous Hassan Tower, which is an incompleted Mosque supposed to have the tallest minaret in the world. The mosque was built by the Caliph Abou Yusuf El-Mansour in the late 12th century. 

Then, you will drive toward Blue City in the afternoon. The city of Chefchaouen, with its blue and white streets, is carved into the sides of two mountains. A strong allure that is palpable in the cobblestone medina of Outa-el-Hammam square. Seated on a cafe terrace, you can take in the lovely view of the imposing Tarik-Ben-Ziad mosque, whose octagonal minaret was modeled after Seville’s Torre de Oro. The Kasbah and its gardens, located in the middle of the medina, feature this style of Andalusian architecture. Enclosed within are 11 crenelated towers, one of which was formerly a dungeon, and an intriguing ethnographic museum. You may want to try their unique dressing or just buy a souvenir. Overnight at your hotel.

After your breakfast, you will drive to the imperial city of Meknes, which was established by Moulay Ismaël, the Alaouite sultan, in the 17th century to make it one of Morocco’s most exquisite and potent imperial cities. And still is, surrounded by walls from all sides of the city. Meknès was inducted into the Unesco World Heritage List because of its medina and the remnants of the royal palace.

Bab Mansour, near the square of El-Hdime, was built at the start of the 18th century and is regarded as one of the most exquisite gates in the entire world. It is the entryway to the actual Imperial city, where a tour of the sultan’s tomb is still worthwhile.
