Board the coach for an approximate 3.5-hour drive to the historic city of Marrakech. There will be a refreshment stop in transit and our guide will offer insights into the history and culture of the fascinating city. Upon arrival, the first stop will be at the centerpiece of Marrakech, the impressive Koutoubia Minaret and Gardens. Standing at 253 feet, the square Koutoubia Minaret is easily visible from the extensive gardens.
Next, visit Bahia Palace. Built as a harem's residence, the palace exemplifies the best in Moroccan architecture. Marvel at the detailed work, the graceful arches, and intricate carvings. Afterwards, take a break from exploring and enjoy a typical Moroccan lunch served at a local restaurant. For a unique
experience, continue your discovery of Marrakech with a visit to the Saadiens Tombs. The beautiful Necropolis was built in the 16th century by a Sultan and contains 66 indoor tombs. The tomb interiors are intricately decorated with mosaics and the main mausoleum is remarkably ornate. No trip to Marrakech would be complete without a chance to see the Medina and browse through the Souks.

The final stop will be at the famous town square of Marrakech, the Djemma El Fnaa where we will
have some independent time watch the spectacles, shop or enjoy a coffee before the return trip to Casablanca
