Itinerary – Casablanca to Marrakech Trip Route

hour 01

Casablanca Port to Marrakech City

 

Your Casablanca Marrakech tour begins with a morning departure from the port. The drive takes approximately 2.5 hours, passing open landscapes as you head toward Morocco’s southern cultural capital. 

Upon arrival, you meet your local guide and begin a structured Morocco guided excursion through the city.

Breakfast

Menara Gardens

 

The first stop sets a calm tone. The Menara Gardens offer wide olive groves and a reflecting pool with the Atlas Mountains often visible in the distance. This stop introduces Marrakech’s balance between nature and urban life and is a key part of any Marrakech sightseeing tour.

Koutoubia Mosque (Exterior Visit)

 

You continue to the Koutoubia Mosque, Marrakech’s most recognizable landmark. While non-Muslims view it from the outside, the minaret anchors the city skyline and helps orient the rest of the route. 

This stop is essential in understanding the city during a Marrakech cultural tour.

Bahia Palace

 

Inside the medina, you visit Bahia Palace, known for its detailed courtyards, tiled floors, and carved ceilings. The palace reflects 19th-century Moroccan craftsmanship and offers insight into royal life. It is one of the most visited historical sites included in many Morocco shore tours.

Dar Si Said Museum

 

Next, you explore the Dar Si Said Museum, dedicated to Moroccan arts and crafts. Woodwork, textiles, and traditional objects provide cultural context before heading deeper into the old city.

Souks & Handicraft Quarters

 

In the afternoon, the pace becomes more vibrant. Walking through the souks, you encounter spice stalls, leather goods, metalwork, and textiles. This part of the route connects daily life with tradition and completes the Casablanca to Marrakech experience beyond monuments.

Djemaa El Fina Square

 

The day concludes at Djemaa El Fina. As afternoon shifts toward evening, the square fills with performers, food stalls, and local activity. 

This closing stop brings together the energy of the city before the return drive, completing the Marrakech day trip segment of your journey.

Return to Casablanca Port

 

After exploring the square, you depart Marrakech and drive back to Casablanca, arriving at your cruise ship in the evening. This return completes the loop typical of a well-timed Morocco shore tours program designed around cruise schedules.
