Rabat is the modern capital of Morocco but its history dates back to the 7th century. There we will visit the Mohammed V mausoleum and the Hassan Mosque, explore the old city, the Fes-el-Bali medina, known for its various souks, or markets, and then go to the Fez el Jedid, the newer part of the city, home to the Royal Palace and the Mellah section of town, and also see Medersas, or Islamic schools.
In Marrakesh, the capital of the Moroccan south, we will explore the Imperial Gardens and the town of Sti Fatma, famous for its seven waterfalls. We will take in Fantasia, an exciting festival held in Meknes, which is an example of traditional folklore in Morocco that dates back in time for thousands of years. Lastly, we will visit Agadir, not only a flourishing trading and fishing port, but also a modern seaside resort area.
