Among other places we will visit is Bahia Palace, adorned with tilework unique to the country. Since the early 1900s, Marrakech has been a favorite location for many European designers, artists, musicians, and adventurers, especially the French. As an important center for African trade, it embodies the colors of all of Africa. Once a guiding city for Islamic art and philosophy, it still preserves the traditions of medieval life in its medina. Next, we visit Jardin Majorelle, the secret garden of Yves Saint Laurent, which is one of the best examples of Moroccan architecture.

Then, we arrive in Essaouira, a city that reminds us of the old Bodrum, a world-famous ancient Portuguese city. Declared a "World Heritage Site" by UNESCO, the city is a fishing port by the Atlantic Ocean, as well as a coastal town where art and culture intertwine, having also served as a backdrop for several productions such as Orson Welles' Othello and the very popular Game of Thrones series. The city's fortress, fishing port, and Medina, built by adapting from ancient Roman cities, are among the places to see. You can explore the city between the narrow labyrinthine streets that you won’t get enough of and enjoy pleasant shopping opportunities. After our tour, we transfer to Casablanca. Casablanca, which played host to negotiations during World War II and many intense espionage activities, owes its fame to the movie "Casablanca", remembered for the phrase "Play it again, Sam."
