3 capitals, 7 day route

A week in Fez, Meknes and Rabat – a good choice for first timers in Morocco, right? Also I have reserved some time to see Casablanca (it is supposed that you arrive there).

Map of itinerary

~750 km.

Description of Morocco route

Circle route “3 capitals” is a sightseeing itinerary that starts in Casablanca, because most of international flights arrive to its airport. The route is too busy to be shrinked, you may also choose another route that lasts 7 days or less. If you find cheaper tickets to Rabat, you can also use this route, it will become a bit more relaxed. I suggest using Moroccan trains, as they arrive in time and the stations are located right in hearts of cities. Car for this itinerary seems to be useless.
