Travel story
From the colors of gardens to the ancient city of labyrinths.
Ring in the New Year in Fez to the sounds of Gnawa.
The new year continues on to the blue city.
—
This is a New Year’s trip around Morocco’s diverse cities by private car from Marrakech to Fez, Chefchaouen, Rabat, and Casablanca. After visiting gardens, palaces, and lively souks, in Fez you will experience the maze-like old medina and traditional crafts, and conclude the year with a gala dinner featuring Moroccan cuisine, Gnawa music, and live performances on New Year’s Eve. The new year begins with a stroll through the blue city of Chefchaouen, then continues to the royal city of Rabat and the Atlantic port of Casablanca, tracing cities whose colors and characters vary widely.
Signature points
Five distinctive Moroccan cities connected by private car
Visit Marrakech, Fez, Chefchaouen, Rabat, and Casablanca by private car with an English-speaking driver. Move from bustling ancient cities to the tranquil blue town, the historic royal capital, and the modern port city, savoring the changing landscapes, cultures, and atmospheres within a single country.
Architecture and handicrafts alive in the maze-like old cities
In Marrakech, visit the Majorelle Garden, Bahia Palace, madrasas, and souks, and enjoy the city’s charms up to the dusk-lit Jemaa el-Fnaa. In Fez, walk the labyrinthine old city with a guide, and through sites such as the delicately decorated Bou Inania Madrasa and the traditional tanneries, experience Morocco’s aesthetic sense and artisan culture.
A festive New Year’s Eve at a palace in Fez
On New Year’s Eve, after spending the day exploring Fez’s historic district, enjoy a New Year’s gala dinner at the Palace Scheherazade where you are staying. Taste Moroccan dishes like pastilla and tagine, and, wrapped in Gnawa music and live orchestral performances, close the year before continuing your journey the next day to the blue city of Chefchaouen.
