Program

Day 1. Welcome day in Casablanca

Добро пожаловать в Марокко! Встречаемся в аэропорту Касабланки. Это шумный прибрежный город, известный своей культовой архитектурой в стиле ар-деко, оживленными рынками и потрясающей береговой линией.

Посетим одну из самых больших и впечатляющих мечетей в мире - мечеть Хасана Ii. Мечеть расположена прямо на берегу океана и отличается сложной плиткой и захватывающим дух интерьером.

Прогуляемся по живописной набережной, протянувшейся вдоль побережья Атлантического океана, понаблюдаем, как рыбаки забрасывают сети, и погрузимся в бурлящую энергию Марокко.

Вечером будем знакомиться друг с другом в ламповой атмосфере, где каждый расскажет о себе и как он пришел к поездке в Марокко

Хорошо выспимся ночью, потому что в ближайшие дни в Марокко посмотрим много топовых локаций

Ночуем в Касабланке

Day 2. Элегантная столица Марокко

После завтрака отправляемся в Рабат, элегантную столицу Марокко, где приводим инстаграм в порядок, чтобы подписчики знали, что мы в Марокко! :)

Мы пойдем Мавзолей Мухаммеда V, самого известного Короля Марокко. Мавзолей имеет блистающие мраморные полы, замысловатую работу по дереву и зеленоватый купол, украшенный сусальным золотом.

После мавзолея направимся к башне Хасана, впечатляющему минарету, который является знаковой достопримечательностью Рабата. Башня при мечети построена в 12 веке и считается образцом архитектуры берберской династии.

После экскурсии по Башне Хасана прогуляемся по набережной и заскочим в старинную цитадель Рабата, внутри которой остались дома с бело-голубыми стенами. Там же попадем на смотровую, с которой открывается вид на океан

После обеда отправимся в Медину Рабата, где проведем остаток дня, исследуя узкие улочки и шумные рынки. Медина города Рабат является объектом Всемирного наследия Юнеско и славится своей традиционной марокканской архитектурой, яркими тканями и изделиями ручной работы.

Под закат отправимся в Шефшауэн, самый известный город Марокко, где приятным вечером отвлечемся от красоты Марокко играми в настолки в кругу единых по духу путешественников

Ночуем в Шефшауэне

Day 3. 50 оттенков синего

Сегодня мы будем изучать оттенки синего города Шефшауэн, расположенный в высоченных горах Эр-Риф на севере Марокко.

У нас будет инстаграмный день, наделаем кучу контента в самых топовых локациях города.

Посетим площади, окруженные кафешками, ресторанами, магазинами и даже цитаделью!

Главная достопримечательность города - сам город, а не какая-то конкретная его локация. Поэтому мы устроим свободную прогулку по Шефшауэну и заглянем в каждый, даже малоизвестный, уголок

На закате найдем подходящие споты для фотографии рядом с Испанской мечетью, расположенной на холме недалеко от центра. Мечеть построена во время испанской оккупации Марокко, с которой открывается панорама города и окружающие горы.

А еще, это идеальный город для покупки сувениров

Ночуем в Шефшауэне

Day 4. Дегустация Premier Cru вина

Просыпаемся и едем исследовать руины и богатую историю хорошо сохранившегося древнеримского города Волюбилис. Там до сих пор остались старые древнеримские мозайки с историей

После этого отправимся на дегустацию в винодельню Chteau Roslane, расположенную в самом сердце винодельческого региона Мекнес. Прогуляемся по винодельне и узнаем о процессе изготовления вина.

Затем поедем в культурную столицу Марокко - Фес, самый старый город Марокко, основанный в 789 году.

Вечером посетим Британский Салун, бывшее посольство Великобритании. Внутри мы очутимся в европейском оазисе мусульманской страны

Ночуем в Фесе

Day 5. Культурная столица Фес и Сахара

Просыпаемся и продолжаем исследовать Фес! Мы посетим кожевенные заводы Chaouwara, которые известны своими традиционными методами дубления кожи и яркими цветами.

После чего прогуляемся по извилистым улочкам старейшей части города Фес-эль-Бали, внесенной в список Всемирного наследия Юнеско. Посетим медресе (университет) Боу-Инаниа с великолепными гравюрами на кедровом дереве. Оно было построено на большие деньги во славу исламской науки

Также, в течение дня заскочим поделать фотки в огромный риад, сделанный из соединенных между собой пяти риадов. Риад — традиционный марокканский дом с внутренним садом, вокруг которого располагаются комнаты дома.

Насытившись историей, выдвигаемся в сторону горного города Ифран, известный своей альпийской архитектурой, чистыми улицами и освежающим климатом. Город часто называют Марокканская Швейцария, Ифран предлагает освежающий отдых от жары и городской суеты.

Здесь мы сделаем небольшой перерыв на чай/кофе, закупимся бананами и под закат отправимся в Лес Обезьян. Остановимся пофоткаться и покормить обезьян, которые сидят прямо на деревьях вдоль дороги через лес

Ночуем в Мидельте

Day 6. Сахара

Выдвигаемся в сторону Сахары. Для тех, кто забыл уроки географии, это самая большая и жаркая пустыня в мире, покрывающая около 8,6 миллиона квадратных километров. Сахара известна своим экстремальным климатом, с палящими температурами днем и отрицательными температурами ночью.

По дороге нас ждут красивые каньоны, где мы будем останавливаться и лицезреть красоту Атласских гор!

Приезжаем в сердце Сахары и под закат отправляемся в поход на верблюдах через золотые песчаные дюны, наблюдая закат над пустыней. Мы прибудем в бербеский кэмп, где местные будут нас развлекать танцами у костра.

P.S. За дополнительные 40$ можно будет покататься на квадроциклах

Сегодня мы проведем ночь в традиционном бедуинском кемпе под звездами

Day 7. День ущельев

Первым делом мы отправимся наслаждаться видом с мыса Доброй Надежды, но не с того, который в Юар, а с того, который в Марокканском регионе Тингир.

После чего поедем к ущелью Тодха, где полюбуемся высоченными каменными стенами, возвышающимися по обе стороны от нас

Затем продолжим путь к ущельям Дадес, где оценим контрастность между скалистым пейзажем пустыни и пышными зелеными пальмовыми рощами, раскинувшимися по берегам рек.

После этого посетим знаменитые скальные образования Monkey Fingers, где наделаем красивого контента для инстаграма. А в завершение дня, заедем передохнуть от роуд-трипа в Тисдрин, смотровую площадку, расположенную в самом сердце Атласских гор. Попьем чай, сделаем красивые кадры и поедем ночевать.

Ночуем в Дадес или Скуре 

Day 8. Голливуд на минималках

Начинаем день с посещения Atlas Studios, крупнейшей киностудии в Африке, расположенной в соседнем городе Уарзазат. Студия использовалась для съемок известных фильмов и сериалов, включая Игру престолов и Гладиатор.

Изюминкой дня является посещение Айт-Бен-Хадду, древнего города-крепости из глины, который с 1987 года является объектом Всемирного наследия Юнеско.

Днем заедем на заправку Hills Have Eyes, настоящий клад для любителей роуд-трипов засчет американского внешнего вида. Кстати, заправка была показана в фильме ужасов 2006 года У холмов есть глаза.

После чего отправимся в сторону Марракеша через Атласские горы, где у нас будет красивое закатное солнце с горами. У нас свобода действий и мы сделаем остановки на любой понравившейся локации

По приезду в Марракеш пойдем ужинать и посетим главную достопримечательность города - оживленную площадь Джамаа-эль-Фна, где мы впитаем атмосферу, звуки и запахи города.

Ночуем в Марракеше

Day 9. Chill day в Марракеше

Сегодня мы отдохнем от дороги: у нас будет chill day и мы изучим Марракеш вдоль и поперек!

Посетим особняк Jardin Majorelle с красивым ботаническим садом в бывшем доме легендарного модельера Ив Сен-Лорана. Сад похож на безмятежный оазис посреди города, в котором собрали фауну со всех пяти континентов.

Зайдем в Медресе 16-го века с названием Бен Юсуфа - самое крупное медресе в Марокко. Это бывшая кораническая школа, основанная в далеком Xvi веке.

Сходим на базар Семмарин, красочный и шумный рынок, наполненный специями, текстилем и другими марокканскими товарами.

Так как у нас chill day, мы пойдем расслабиться в старейший хаммам Марракеша, где нас еще и проскрабируют. Аутентичный экспиренс :)

Ночуем в Марракеше

Day 10. Chill day в Касабланке и вылет домой

Отправляемся обратно в Касабланку, где в спокойной обстановке отдыхаем и проводим время на набережной Корниш, наслаждаясь видом на океан. А еще, зайдем в самый большой Тц в Африке!

К сожалению, настало времени прощаться

На этом трипу конец, кто был с нами — молодец!

Предупреждение: после этого путешествия родными могут стать края Марокко :)

Летим из красочного Марокко по домам

This is fantastic!!! The tour is great, 10 days contain the impossible and even more! Transportation, food, hotels, everything is provided! And we would love it anyway, but our guide Tema did something incredible! This man puts all of himself into this journey so that you will love this country as much as he does!
It all went great. The organization, program and performance of the tour are at a high level.
Very cool experience. The tour is intense and flexible (we deviated from the route and watched even more than was stated in the program). Comfortable transport and authentic accommodation facilities.
Despite the intensity of the program, we were thrilled and in no hurry. Special respect to the accompanying Vlad (our group) and Ilya (parallel group), who always gave suggestions, helped solve problems and it was fun to just laugh with them.
It was an intense tour of Morocco!)
There are many interesting and memorable locations. Here you can get lost in the narrow streets of the medina, spend the night in the desert under an incredibly beautiful starry sky, enjoy the Atlantic Ocean and go crazy with the serpentines and views of the Atlas Mountains.
We were also pleased with the colorful hotels.
Delicious food at local restaurants and lots of freshly squeezed orange juice and mint tea))
If you like vivid emotions, then this is the place for you!
I would like to say a special thank you to our guide, escort and guide Artem!
A very professional and at the same time personal approach to the trip. He instructed the cities in advance what where and how, if possible - he gave the freedom of action either to choose the route through the medina themselves, or to split up altogether and then get together if your wishes differed, but only in cities where there was no risk of getting lost and getting lost.
The route through the country is very well built - in fact, we saw Morocco's “golden ring” (it's a pity that we don't have enough time for Tangier and Essaouira). We were hit by a cyclone, so visiting Casablanca was a little blurred. I don't know how typical spring weather is, but we didn't even die from the heat in the desert
Since the route is long, we spent a lot of time on the road, but this is a separate adventure. And thanks again to Artem for finding stops along the route - to warm up, have a snack, and just take a break from the car.
And yes, the places for lunch and dinner were also great - most of the locations were not touristy, but more for locals. And despite Ramadan, there were no problems or difficulties (although it would be interesting to see the country at a busier time)
So far, the tour to Morocco has been the most memorable trip!
Since I was planning the trip alone, it was important to understand the travel criteria and the number of travelers (although I'm not a picky person)
Many thanks to Zhenya for the author's tour! All days of the trip are very well planned (we have already professionally learned how to change clothes in the car, if necessary)))
The country itself is as different as possible, if anyone has an idea, the trip will break all the boxes)
I was extremely lucky to have the band, we were all on the same wavelength and the trip was based on jokes, drive and endless music of all times))))
If you are still thinking of going to Morocco, let the review help remove all doubts and choose this tour from Zhenya))
There are not enough words to describe how many different ranges of emotions there were (only positive ones, of course))
Special thanks to our guide Ilya, who patiently endured a group of ever-giggling girls and fulfilled our every whim and took a lot of cool photos (well, we're girls)))
Now I don't even consider other travel experts, only tours from Zhenya and with Zhenya))
Day 1 May 31, 2024
Early in the morning, we met the group in Domodedovo, met and flew to Morocco
Upon arrival, we were greeted by our cheerful guide Vlad. We exchanged money and bought local SIM cards. After a short journey, we checked into a hotel and went for a walk around Casablanca
The first location is the Hassan II Mosque This is one of the most elegant mosques I've been to. We walked along the waterfront, dipped our feet into the cool waters of the Atlantic Ocean, and the guys even swam and, of course, took photos

Day 2 June 1, 2024
The captivating Rabat, the capital of Morocco
We walked around the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, took photos, were inspired by the grandeur of the Hassan Tower and rushed to the Rabat citadel
The Citadel of Rabat is an interesting place, rich in streets where you can easily get lost and find spectacular photo locations, buy souvenirs, drop by the Andalusian garden, and enjoy beautiful ocean views. After wandering through the labyrinth of streets of Rabat Medicine
We had additional locations along the city in Chefchaouen: we walked along the sandy promenade, visited Cabo Espartel, saw the coast of Spain from the coast of Morocco, watched the sunset in Tanger, and only then rushed to Chefchaouen

Day 3 June 2, 2024
We spent half a day exploring the city of Chefchaouen, took a thousand photos, and in the afternoon, thanks to Vlad, there was an additional location (I think it might need to be included in the tour program) We visited Park National Talassrmtane An incredibly beautiful, charming place The road to it is fascinating When we climbed to the very top, we were in a fairy tale — in a cloudy mountain world The road is winding, steep, surrounded by the photogenic Reef Mountains Upon arrival, an easy trekking to the waterfalls awaited us (according to the guide, 1.250 m one way). Lush greenery and riot caress our eyes colors of local flowers (It may be cool, bring something warm and a change of clothes if you want to swim in the crystal-clear, cool water of the reservoir) And after returning to Chef, we went to the Spanish Mosque

Day 4 June 3, 2024
On the way to Fez, we made a stop in the ancient Roman city of Volubilis. The tour from Vlad was excellent))
Then we went to the Château Roslane winery, located in the heart of the Meknès wine region. I'm not a big wine lover, but I didn't remain indifferent and tasted each one
We lived near a dog in Fez, and when we went to our guest house, we didn't feel very good, but when I saw where we were supposed to live, I changed my mind. It was one of the most beautiful guest houses and the super-cute hostess who, the next morning, took a tour of the labyrinth of Medina of Fez

Day 5 June 4, 2024
A sightseeing day in Fez We got to know the city, saw the production of scarves, visited a mini-carpet factory (I even took part), interrupted the smell of leather with a sprig of mint when visiting Chaouwara tanneries — we learned traditional methods of tanning leather
We walked along the streets of the oldest part of the city of Fes el-Bali, visited the Bow-Inania Madrasah (University)
We went to the Monkey Forest, where we met playful monkeys who wanted to get into our car and pull something off
And then we passed by Ifrane, which impressed with its scenery: a winding road, tall conifers, cool mountains and Swiss-style houses
Additional location — a walk to the local reservoir
We spent the night in Midelt at Villa Pomme d'Or, another beautiful place I would love to come back to

Day 6 June 5, 2024
It took us most of the day to get to the Sahara. There were many stops along the way to capture the beauty of the Atlas Mountains
Additional location: visit to a wind farm
In the evening, our travel family, and a couple of other Canadians, climbed camels and went to the Berber camp through the golden sand dunes drenched in the Sun. The walk was about 1.5 hours, the Bedouin who accompanied us made several stops to take photos and another big stop to enjoy the sunset in the desert After arriving at the camp, under the starry sky at night, around the campfire — listened to local songs
I recommend packing everything you need in the Sahara in your purse in advance

Day 7 June 6, 2024
In the morning we saw the sunrise in the Sahara — it's very impressive and inspiring. We took a ride in a jeep and conquered the sand dunes on ATVs
Enjoyed the beauty of the Tinghir region
We took a walk through the Todha Gorge, the sight of which makes your heart stop
We visited the famous Monkey Finger rock formations and rushed to the Dades Gorges — a very steep climb, and a new sunset meeting

Day 8 June 7, 2024
The day started with a visit to Atlas Studios, Africa's biggest film studio, and we even shot our own mini short
We walked and climbed to the very top of Ait Ben Haddou We stopped at Hills Have Eyes, exactly the gas station from the horror movie “The Hills Have Eyes”

Day 9 June 8, 2024
We walked around Marrakech, visited Jemaa el Fna Square day and night — the same location, but such a different atmosphere at different times of the day We bought souvenirs, and yes, Marrakech is expensive, and it's better to buy souvenirs in Chef or Fez
We took a walk through the Yves Saint Laurent Museum — cacti and cacti again

Day 10, June 9, 2024
A day on the road and no rest We had an additional location — visiting the largest waterfall in Africa - Ouzouda Easy trekking The opportunity to swim, take photogenic photos This is definitely one of the most beautiful places in Morocco and a must-see

The result: a pleasant, intense, dynamic, LEGENDARY journey with your own. Comfortable and without unnecessary sightseeing and historical noise
I'll say that if you don't know English very well, don't worry. Vlad translated all tours
Class!) It was really a trip among friends! Zhenya immediately offers and creates a comfortable and positive atmosphere! Quickly solved any problems
There is a small growth zone in terms of improving the organization of timing/discipline and for some accommodation facilities, but these are everyday traffic details. People are the main thing!) I'm lucky to have the band! And some hotels/riads turned out to be really great (like some cafes/restaurants).
Morocco is a popular tourist destination for a reason. I regret that I was not able to see all the cities I was interested in, but it's really not easy during one trip - but there is a reason to come back if necessary)
It was a busy car tour to interesting locations all over Morocco!
The journey begins right after the plane with a walk through Casablanca. Every day is a new place, from civilized cities to wild deserts.
We liked the medinas.
Take local guides, they will tell you and show you the most interesting places! Learn a few phrases in Arabic and French and then any local resident will treat you with respect.
You should not go during Ramadan, almost all establishments will be closed during the day.
The accommodation was in interesting local villas or houses. But I would like to note that these are not always the same luxurious apartments as in the pictures on the Internet. If you want this kind of accommodation, tell the guide, but keep in mind that accommodation there is expensive, and the tour price may increase by about 50%.
The desert is beautiful not only for its sand, but on a clear night you can see stargazing! I recommend going to the desert on the new moon.
The weather changed from desert storms to snowstorms, so you should bring clothes for all occasions.
Try a camel burger, tagine, and marshmallow (cinnamon chicken pie)!
Feel free to offer your ideas for places and routes, sometimes you can get to very beautiful places, just like we did.
The guide is responsive, sociable and flexible: at the request of the group, you can easily change plans and take into account the individual needs of the group members.
Have a nice vacation!
