Why Rediscover? - All our reservations staff have worked in Morocco (or visited extensively) and will be more than happy to offer advice and suggestions on any of our featured destinations, tours and properties. Prices - our prices are similar to or quite often cheaper than our internet competitors or booking directly and significantly cheaper than those producing expensive brochures whilst our service, knowledge and after sales care is second to none. Security - Rediscover the World is a member of the TTA (T6816), we also hold our own ATOL bond (T7172). We therefore provide full financial security and assistance should any part of your holiday not happen entirely to plan. If you were to assemble your holiday yourself you may not have this sort of protection.

The Medinas of Morocco tour is very similar to the Imperial Cities itinerary above but as it starts from Casablanca it is ideal for our clients arriving into Casablanca on indirect flights from UK (e.g. Air France via Paris) or for those travelling from Europe and North America with no direct services to either Agadir or Marrakech. The fully guided tour visits all the sights of Northern Morocco followed by a relaxing drive through the Mid Atlas to complete the tour in Marrakech.

           Dinner and overnight in Casablanca.        [Hotel Almohades or similar]

Tour of the Hassan II Mosque. Then on the capital city of Rabat for a visit to the main sights, including the Hassan Tower and Maosoleum of Mohammed V, where his late Majesty King Hassan II is also buried. On to Volubilis, the magnificent Roman site - mosaics here are particularly well preserved.

Day 3   Fez

A full day in Fez starting with a city tour, with time to explore what some people regard as the finest living example of a Mediaeval Arab city.  Visit the 9th Century Karouine Mosque, the Medersas and the narrow winding alleys making up the souk; not forgetting the tanneries.
