When you arrive in Rabat, you stop to explore important landmarks such as the Hassan Tower and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, both located in a calm open area near the river. You can also visit the Kasbah of the Udayas, where narrow streets and ocean views create a quiet and relaxed atmosphere.
After the visit, you continue driving inland toward Marrakech, passing through changing landscapes as the coastal environment slowly disappears. You arrive in Marrakech in the late afternoon.
In the evening, you head to Jemaa el-Fnaa Square, located in the heart of the Marrakech Medina (UNESCO World Heritage Site). The square becomes more active as night falls, with food stalls, street performers, and local life all around you.

This day is fully dedicated to discovering Marrakech in detail. You begin by visiting historical sites such as Bahia Palace, known for its architecture and inner courtyards, where you can take your time walking through the rooms and gardens.
You continue into the narrow streets of the medina, where you pass through different sections of the souks. Each area has its own products, from spices to textiles and handmade crafts. The experience is more about walking, observing, and taking in the atmosphere than rushing between places.
Later, you can visit areas around the Koutoubia Mosque, the largest mosque in Marrakech, and walk through nearby open spaces.
In the afternoon, you may choose to relax in a café or continue exploring quieter streets away from the busy areas. The evening can again be spent in Jemaa el-Fnaa Square, where the atmosphere changes compared to daytime.
On the third day of your 10 Days Tour From Casablanca, you leave Marrakech early and begin the drive into the High Atlas Mountains. The road climbs gradually as you approach the famous Tizi n’Tichka Pass (2,260 m).
