Magnificent Kingdom of Morocco and Mystical Cities 3 Nights - With THY (29 October Special)
Day 1 Istanbul – Casablanca – Marrakech
Meeting 3 hours before departure in front of the Turkish Airlines counter at Istanbul New Airport's international departures terminal. After baggage and ticket procedures, we depart for Casablanca at 11:50 on Turkish Airlines flight TK617. Upon arrival in Casablanca at 14:50 local time, we proceed to Marrakech with our vehicle waiting for us in the area. After arriving in Marrakech, we begin exploring this city whose narrow streets will take you back centuries; named after the word "mur akush," meaning "Land of God" in the language of the Berbers, North Africa's oldest indigenous people. Marrakech, one of Morocco's most important tourist centers, is also known as the "Red City" due to its famous red walls. During our city tour, we will visit the Bahia Palace, which offers a wonderful impression of what it was like to be an aristocrat in 19th-century Morocco; the Koutoubia Minaret, one of the city's most important symbols; the Majorelle Gardens, home to plant collections from all over the world; and Djemaa El Fna square, the heart of the city, known as the "Square of Souks and Miracles." After the tour, we transfer to our hotel and have free time. Dinner and overnight stay at the hotel.
Day 2 Marrakech – Essaouira – Marrakech
After the breakfast served at the hotel, we will join the Unesco World Heritage Grand Essaouira Tour. Home to civilizations since prehistoric times, Essaouira is known for its white-walled old city medina (city center), narrow streets, and traditional markets. The city center, listed by Unesco as a "World Heritage" site, is a tranquil coastal town that combines art and culture alongside its identity as a fishing port. A very peaceful atmosphere prevails in Essaouira compared to Marrakech, offering visitors a relaxing escape. Over the years, this atmosphere has attracted many world-famous artists such as Cat Stevens, Jimi Hendrix, and Orson Welles, turning the city into a center of art and culture. Recently, the town also hosted filming for the famous Game of Thrones series. During our tour, we will visit the walls of Essaouira, the Essaouira Fortress, the Essaouira Port where the fish market is located, and the world-renowned Medina. While exploring Essaouira, with its elegance of traditional Moroccan architecture blended with traces of modern life, you will have the opportunity to enjoy shopping. After the tour, we return to our hotel in Marrakech. Dinner and overnight stay at the hotel.
Day 3 Marrakech – Rabat – Casablanca
After the breakfast served at the hotel, we depart for Magnificent Capital Rabat, the capital of Morocco. Following our arrival, during our panoramic city tour, we will visit Hassan Tower, the Mausoleum of Mohammed V built in memory of the grandfather of the current king and a pioneer of Moroccan independence, and the Royal Palace. After our tour, we proceed to Casablanca. Upon arrival, our city tour begins. As Morocco's main port, Casablanca is famous for the 1942 Hollywood film named after the city, Casablanca. In addition to being the country's economic hub, it is also the most densely populated city. While wandering through the city's narrow streets, you can observe Islamic, French, and Berber influences reflecting its rich cultural heritage. Highlights include Mohammed V Square, the heart of Casablanca; United Nations Square, where Morocco's past and present are wonderfully blended; the magnificent Hassan II Mosque, renowned for its grand structure and the second tallest minaret in the world; the Old Medina; the Hobus district, famous for its open-air markets; and Ain Diab and Corniche, located along the Atlantic Ocean coastline.
