Day 1: Tangier – Asilah – Volubilis – Fes
Our driver/guide will pick you up from your accommodation/port/airport and you drive to Assilah. You will stop along the way to see the best places and take pictures. The first place to stop at will be Cap Spartel. You will have a stunning view of the cliffs on the best spot where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea. It’s really amazing how their waves collapse against each other like a smooth slow-motion battle between two giants.
Next, you move to see Hercules caves. This archaeological icon constitutes one of the best destinations in Tangier. The cave has two openings, one to sea and one to land. The sea opening is known as “The Map of Africa”. It is believed that the Phoenicians created the sea opening which is in the shape of Africa when looked at from the sea. There are also some markings on the wall in the shape of eyes, that are said to be made by the Phoenicians, which make up a map of the local area.
After that, you drive to Asilah, which is a fortified seaside town on the northwest of Morocco. This small charm city provides a taste of Spain mixed with Moroccan traditions. You will enjoy the inspiring artwork, see the 15th-century ramparts, and hinging out in the old medina.
The next destination will be Volubilis in Meknes. It is a UNESCO site that was once the Mauritanian capital. Founded in the 3rd century B.C., Volubilis became an important outpost of the Roman Empire and was graced with many fine buildings.
Later, you drive from Volubilis to reach finally Fes. Overnight at your Hotel or Riad in Fez.
