Day 1: WELCOME TO CAIRO

Upon our arrival in Cairo, the capital of the Arab Republic of Egypt, transportation to the hotel will be provided by one of our vehicles. Our driver will ensure your comfort throughout the journey.

Upon arrival at the hotel, the assistant will help us with check-in.

The rest of the day will be for relaxation, and to begin enjoying the hotel’s amenities.

Day 2: GIZA, THE PYRAMIDS & SAQQARA

After enjoying a tasty and abundant breakfast with typical products of the region, our visit to the most important points of interest in the largest metropolis on the African continent will begin.

The tour, as our official English-speaking guide will explain, will start with the famous Pyramids of Giza. Here, we will find the only one of the seven wonders of the ancient world still standing: the Great Pyramid of Khufu.

This funerary complex is presided over by the famous Sphinx, with the head of King Khafre and the body of a lion. We will be able to observe it both from the main access esplanade and up close. Additionally, we can enter the interior of one of the other two pyramids: Khafre or Menkaure.

Optionally, we can include lunch and a tour of the Saqqara necropolis. There, the funerary complex of King Djoser stands out. It is a city built exclusively for the king’s afterlife. Its step pyramid is the first stone structure made in pyramid form. It symbolizes the beginning of this type of construction in Egypt.

Furthermore, at night, we can arrange the light show at the Pyramids of Giza. We can also enjoy dinner while floating on the Nile. All of this is optional and should be consulted with your travel assistant.

Day 3: EGYPTIAN MUSEUM, HISTORICAL CAIRO, AND KHAN EL-KHALILI SOUK

In the morning, after a delicious breakfast, we will continue our adventure with a full-day visit to Cairo.

Our morning will begin with a visit to the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities in the heart of the city. Countless invaluable artifacts are showcased there. Among them, we will find the treasures of Tutankhamun, sarcophagi, mummies, and sculptures of unimaginable beauty.

Next, we’ll enjoy lunch. With renewed spirits, we’ll personally explore the Coptic quarter, with its melting pot of religions. Highlights include the Hanging Church, the Church of St. Sergius, and the Ben Ezra Synagogue, one of the oldest in the country.

Following that, we’ll head to historic Cairo, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Since the 10th century, it has been the area of the Caliphs and their mosques. The Saladin Citadel stands out there, a walled citadel.

Before returning to the hotel, we’ll visit the Khan El Khalili bazaar. At this point, we’ll have free time to test our bargaining skills.

To conclude, we’ll return to the hotel to enjoy its amenities and rest.

Day 4: GOODBYE CAIRO! HELLO CASABLANCA!

At the designated time, our vehicle will pick you up and take you to Cairo International Airport for your flight to Casablanca.

Casablanca was formerly known as “Anafé” until the 18th century and was later rebuilt and renamed by Sultan Mohamed Ben Abadía as “Dar el Beida.”

Upon arrival in Casablanca, an English-speaking representative will be waiting for you at the exit. He will assist you, provide details about your itinerary, answer any questions you may have, and give you a brief introduction to the city and its daily life.

We will transport you to your hotel in one of our air-conditioned vehicles. Once you reach the hotel, your assistant will assist you with the check-in process. The remainder of the day is yours to relax and, if you wish, explore Casablanca.

Day 5: CASABLANCA – MEKNES – FEZ

After a tasty breakfast, we will visit Casablanca, starting with the Boulevard of the Corniche, the seafront promenade, and the coastal road, through which we’ll reach Anfa (old quarters of the historic city), a famous neighborhood in which its luxurious houses stand out.

The tour will lead to the exterior of the Great Mosque of Hassan II, a monumental and modern work (sliding roof and resistance to earthquakes) that holds the title of the third largest mosque in the world after Mecca and Medina (optionally, you can visit the inside). It is the most representative monument of the 20th century.

We will depart from Casablanca through the road and fertile valleys until we reach Meknes, a World Heritage Site and one of the four imperial cities along with Marrakesh, Fez, and Rabat, the former capital of Morocco.

You will visit the fortified city starting with its walls and great gates: Bab El Mansour Laalej, the largest gate in the country and North Africa; the Agdal pond, built for irrigation in the area; and the Lahdim Square, the epicenter of the city’s activity. Then you will have free time for lunch (optional).

Finally, we will arrive in Fez, where we will have dinner and stay overnight.

Day 6: FEZ

After enjoying a delicious breakfast, we will start our journey with a visit to Fez Royal Palace with its magnificent golden doors. These seven bronze doors, each of different sizes, represent the seven days of the week and the seven levels of the monarchy.

Next, we will explore the Medina, also known as the Old Quarter. Here, we’ll have the opportunity to visit the Madrasa Bou Inania, which is an Islamic school. We’ll also see the Nejjarine Fountain, one of the most beautiful fountains in the medina and the oldest in Fez.

Additionally, we’ll visit the Al-Karaouine Mosque, a significant cultural center of Islam, housing a library with over 30,000 copies. This mosque is also the headquarters of the University of Fez. Lastly, we’ll visit the Mausoleum of Moulay Idriss, the most revered saint in Morocco.

During our journey, we’ll make a stop in the famous neighborhood of the Tanners, which is truly unique in the world.
