hour 01

Casablanca Port to Fez Drive

Your Casablanca Fez tour begins with pickup from Casablanca Port in a private air-conditioned vehicle. The drive to Fez offers a quiet transition from the modern port city into the historical interior of Morocco.

This part of the journey sets the tone for a focused Morocco travel tour, built around comfort and timing.

hours 02

Fez Medina (Medinat Al Qadima)

Upon arrival, you meet your local guide and begin a walking exploration of Fez Medina. This area forms the core of any serious Fez cultural tour, with narrow alleys, working artisan shops, and centuries-old buildings still in daily use.

As a Fez day trip, the route is carefully planned to cover key sites without overload.

hours 03

Attarine Medersa or Bou Inania Medersa

You visit either the Attarine Medersa or the Bou Inania Medersa, both dating back to the early 14th century. These schools reflect the precision of Marinid architecture and their role in shaping religious education.

This stop is central to a well-structured Fez sightseeing tour, offering context rather than surface-level viewing.

hours 04

Nejjarine Fountain

Hidden within the winding lanes of the medina, the Nejjarine Fountain is considered the oldest fountain in Fez. Its carved details and quiet courtyard atmosphere provide a short pause in the flow of the city.

This moment adds balance to the Morocco city tour, combining movement with stillness.

hours 05

Moulay Idriss II Mausoleum (Exterior Visit)

Next, you pass by the Moulay Idriss II Mausoleum, one of the most important religious sites in Fez. While non-Muslims cannot enter, the surrounding area explains its cultural importance and daily role in local life.

This stop fits naturally into a Morocco guided tour focused on understanding, not just photography.

hours 06

Karaouine Mosque (Exterior View)

You then view the exterior of the Karaouine Mosque, historically linked to one of the world’s oldest universities according to UNESCO.

Its influence on Islamic scholarship makes it a key point of interest on Casablanca excursions that aim to deliver substance in limited time.

hours 07

Return to Casablanca Port

By early evening, you depart Fez and return comfortably to Casablanca Port. The route back allows time to reflect on the day before rejoining your cruise. The structure ensures the Fez day trip remains efficient while still rich in content.
