Quality
This indicates the overall quality of the tour operator's products. A low rating does not mean it is not good - it just means that it does not include as much, or perhaps is of a more standard quality than the higher quality tours. For example, a 3 star quality rating means that it is a more standard/economical tour, while 5 stars is a very luxurious tour that often includes a lot of amenities. -

2Rabat, Morocco's capital & on to Fes
Morocco's seaside capital city of Rabat is an intriguing blend of medieval Arabic and modern European influences, wide palm-lined boulevards, enclaves of elegant French colonial architecture, and Moorish-style palaces, mosques, and ramparts that echo the city's golden age as an Almohad stronghold. Sightseeing includes Dar-al-Makhzhen, the Royal Palace and residence of the king of Morocco, built in 1864, with its sumptuous Islamic ornament and exquisite formal gardens. Visit the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, a masterpiece of Alouite-style architecture featuring stunning ornamental carvings and chandeliers, the final resting place of the king who fought for Moroccan independence in the mid-20th century. View the massive Hassan Tower, the city's most imposing landmark, built in the 12th century and rising 140 feet high. The minaret is the centerpiece of a great mosque that was never finished, begun at the height of the Almohad Dynasty. After walking through the white-washed Kasbah, visit the Museum of Adornment, an ethnographic museum, viewing collections of jewelry worn in Morocco for centuries. Leave Rabat and head for Fes, stopping for lunch at a winery on the way. Arrive this afternoon and check into a lovely boutique hotel with views of the old town and the city skyline. Tonight, you'll dine at leisure at the hotel.

3The souks & bazaars of Fes
The sprawling city of Fes is over 1,200 years old, and its well-preserved old town is a vast maze of winding streets and alleys, crowded, aromatic bazaars, and eclectic architecture. No cars are allowed, so transport here is in the ancient, traditional style – on foot. Choose the focus for your morning walking tour: sample the flavors of dates, honey, and spices with visits to food vendors, or get an insider's look at the craftsmanship of artisans who create intricate, handcrafted carvings, rugs, leatherwork, and metalwork. Have lunch in the medina and enjoy an exclusive lecture by a local scholar on life in Morocco from a woman's perspective. After lunch, take an eye-opening tour of the city's famous leather tanneries, dominated by numerous deep, multicolored pools of dye. Here, leather is prepared in the same way as in medieval times to supply the artisans of the souks and bazaars. Return to the hotel, then join us for dinner at a riad – an inn with a central garden or courtyard. The Palais Faraj is a mix of old and contemporary.

4Roman ruins at Volubilis
Visit the Roman ruins of Volubilis, in the rolling hills and fertile farmland between Fes and Meknes. Volubilis was a remote military outpost of the Roman Empire that fell to local tribes in 285 and was never retaken; it is one of the richest archaeological sites in North Africa, a well-preserved, example of a Roman colonial town which still retains its triumphal arch and remnants of its mansions, temples, forum, and glorious mosaics. Enjoy lunch in the town of Moulay Idriss at a private home known as the Scorpion House. Return to Fes for an afternoon excursion exploring the Jewish Mellah (Jewish Quarter), a walled section of Fes where the Jewish community resided with stops at the Mellah's main cemetery and synagogue. Your evening is yours to spend as you please.

5Walled Meknes to famed Casablanca
This morning, visit the American Fondouk, a charitable veterinary clinic specializing in serving the donkeys and mules that carry goods up and down the streets of Fes souk (you might have even seen some pass you by during your time here). Next, drive to Meknes. This walled city of lavish Spanish-Moorish architecture dates back to the 11th century, but rose to glory in the 17th century under the rule of Sultan Moulay Ismail, who made it the capital of his burgeoning empire. Known as the Warrior King, Moulay Ismail was a powerful and ruthless leader who liberated Morocco from the Ottomans and Europeans. This morning's walking tour of Meknes includes Moulay's stables, large enough to house 12,000 horses and designed to water and feed them with an aqueduct and granary; the city's medina; and a visit to a historic madrasa (or medersa), an Islamic learning center and Koranic school. After a hearty lunch and some free time in Meknes, head for Casablanca, viewing the classic Bogart-Bergman film of the same name on the way. Arrive at your seaside Four Seasons hotel, steeped in modern Moroccan elegance, in late afternoon; dine at the hotel this evening.

6Casablanca, Rick's Cafe & Marrakech
In Casablanca, visit the majestic Hassan II Mosque, set on a cliff overlooking the Atlantic with a towering minaret, 689 feet high; completed in 1993, it is the largest mosque in the country, built to accommodate 25,000 worshippers inside and another 80,000 on the grounds. (Touring this site, women and men must cover their knees and shoulders.) Stop for a visit to the Musée Slaoui (Museum of the Abderrahman Slaoui Foundation), showcasing works by Jacques Majorelle and other artists who made Morocco their home, before lunch at Rick's Cafe – a recreation of Humphrey Bogart's fabled lair in the film Casablanca, complete with piano bar. Continue on to Marrakech and check into your Four Seasons hotel, where you'll dine at your leisure this evening.

7Magical Marrakech
Marrakech is surrounded by imposing stone walls from its medieval days as the wealthy capital of an empire. Within those well-preserved fortifications are palaces of red-hued stone, gardens and palm groves, and a Medina of narrow streets and arches packed with fascinating souks and stalls, which have long held a mystical attraction for visitors. Meet the elaborately red-costumed "watermen" who sell water on the streets of the city at a park overlooking the Koutubia mosque before beginning your day at the magnificent Bahia Palace, considered to be one of the greatest palaces of the 19th century, perfectly capturing the essence of the Islamic and Moroccan style. After lunch at a local restaurant in the trendy Gueliz district, visit "Le Jardin Secret" or the Secret Garden, a lavish garden dating back to the 16th-century and owned by the various sultans across time until the final owners death in 1934 after which the property fell into a state of disarray. Today, this garden has been restored and split into two sections. One section is filled with exotic plants from all over the world, and the other is a recreation of what an Islamic Garden would have looked like in the 19th century. Enjoy a walk through the main square and marketplace, Jemaa el-Fna, and spend time exploring on your own before returning to your hotel for an afternoon and evening spent as you wish.

8An idyll in the desert
Your day begins with a visit to the Gardens Majorelle, the masterpiece and former home of French-born artist Jacques Majorelle, designed in the 1930s and later owned by Yves Saint Laurent. Afterwards, visit the stunning Musée Yves Saint Laurent Marrakech, whose collections preserve and interpret the life and work of the designer. This afternoon, join us for a drive aboard 4x4 vehicles outside of the city for an afternoon and evening in the desert. Enjoy a tea ceremony, visit a local home in a Berber Village and get acquainted with Berber history and culture. Dinner is served Berber-style under a tent at a desert camp with musical entertainment. During your desert experience, enjoy exotic flavors of the hubbly-bubbly pipe before returning to your Marrakech hotel for the night.
