Rabat & Atlantic Coast

Rabat is the capital of Morocco, home to the King and government. The city lies at the mouth of the Bouregreg into the Atlantic and has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage since 2012 as an ensemble of a modern capital and historic city. Hassan Tower, Chellah, and the Kasbah of the Oudayas are close by.

Casablanca is Morocco's largest city and economic hub, with its airport being the country's busiest. Its landmark is the Hassan II Mosque, whose 210-meter-high minaret stands directly on the Atlantic. Additionally, there are Art Deco buildings from the Protectorate era, the Habous quarter, and the Aïn Diab Corniche.

The Roman city of Volubilis is located approximately 30 kilometers north of Meknès at the foot of the Zerhoun Massif and has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1997. A few kilometers away is the pilgrimage site of Moulay Idriss Zerhoun, home to the tomb of Idris I., the founder of Morocco's first Islamic dynasty.

Meknès, 60 kilometres west of Fès, is one of the country's four Imperial Cities. Sultan Moulay Ismail made it his capital from 1672, having colossal gates, palaces, and granaries built. Its Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1996; Volubilis and Moulay Idriss are within excursion distance.

The two Imperial Cities in the north of the country are only about 60 kilometres apart. The Medina of Fès has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1981, the Old Town of Meknès since 1996, and between them lie the Roman ruins of Volubilis.
