Day 1 ISTANBUL – CASABLANCA – MARRAKESH

We meet at Istanbul New Airport international departures terminal three hours before the flight. Following baggage, ticket and boarding procedures, our flight to Casablanca begins with a scheduled Turkish Airlines flight. Upon arrival at Casablanca Airport, we depart for Marrakesh in our private bus waiting for us at the airport and begin our panoramic Marrakesh tour. The Koutoubia minaret and Jmaa el Fna, Africa’s largest square, which brings together all the colors of Africa and is lively with street performances, snake charmers and open-air restaurants, are among the places we will see. After the tour, transfer to our hotel in Marrakesh, free time and overnight stay at our hotel.

Food and drink recommendation of the day: You must try the freshly squeezed fruit juices at Jmaa el Fna Square.

Day 2 MARRAKESH – ATLAS MOUNTAINS – MARRAKESH

After breakfast at the hotel, our day begins with a tour of the Atlas Mountains, which surround Marrakesh and are home to many Berber villages as well as the famous Ourika Valley. After taking plenty of photographs in the Ourika Valley, we begin our Marrakesh city tour, a favorite destination since the beginning of the 1900s for many European fashion designers, artists, musicians and adventurers, especially the French. In the medina (old city) of Marrakesh, which was not only an important center for African trade but also once influenced Islamic art and philosophy and still maintains its medieval traditions of life, we receive information about argan oil and exotic spices, visit the Bahia Palace decorated with locally distinctive zellij tilework, and have free time in its colorful souks. After the tour, transfer to our hotel, free time and overnight stay at our hotel.

Day 3 MARRAKESH – MAJORELLE GARDEN – CASABLANCA

We begin the day with breakfast at the hotel. We leave our hotel with our luggage. Our day begins with a visit to the Majorelle Garden, one of the most beautiful places in Marrakesh. Following our visit to the Majorelle Garden, founded by French furniture designer and painter Jaques Majorelle and brought to its present form by the famous fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent, we depart for Casablanca. Casablanca owes its fame to the famous Hollywood film Casablanca, which hosted negotiations between the parties and intense espionage activities during World War II, portrays that period and is remembered with the phrase “Play it again, Sam.” Today, among the places we will see panoramically in Casablanca, an industrial city with one of the largest ports in Africa and the country, are Mohammed V Square, Rick’s Cafe, built inspired by the location where the film Casablanca was shot, Hassan II Mosque, Anfa and Zerktouni boulevards, among the most vibrant streets of the modern city, and the lively Corniche waterfront. After our Casablanca city tour, we check in to our hotel. Free time to rest and overnight stay at our hotel.
