Circuito Marrocos em Família

About the destination: Situated on the Atlantic coast, Casablanca is Morocco's largest city and economic center. Casablanca is a contemporary city with bustling boulevards and numerous street cafes, giving it a distinctly European ambiance. The city is a fusion of tradition and modernity, with traditional buildings influenced by Moorish, Roman, Jewish, Spanish, and French styles standing alongside modern skyscrapers. Despite being relatively modern by Moroccan standards, the city boasts numerous historical sites and striking white colonial architecture. The city's oldest section, the medina, is smaller compared to other medinas in Morocco, but it's still worth exploring its narrow lanes. Near the Medina, you'll find the City Hall, renowned for its beautifully carved roofs. The King Hassan II Mosque, Casablanca's main attraction, is situated in a stunning location on the Atlantic Coast. It's the largest mosque in Morocco and the third largest in the world, boasting the world's tallest minaret. A visit to Casablanca is a must for many travelers to Morocco. With its blend of Oriental and modern influences, Casablanca is a city of many facets.

About the destination: Fez is the epitome of enchantment, a pot of stunning allure that has been brewing since the Middle Ages. The city encompasses nearly all that Morocco has to offer; the echoing clangs of hammers on brass sheets, the cackles of chickens wandering freely, the constant chatter of endless conversations, the resonant prayers echoing from one minaret to another, young women balancing trays of rolled dough on their heads, throngs of people in the narrowest of streets, the tempting smells of brochettes on open grills, the sweet fragrance of cedar shavings and freshly cut mint leaves. The life-sized labyrinth that is the medina, or old city, is the largest and most challenging to navigate in Morocco; sometimes it's even easier to simply lose yourself in the hustle and bustle of the various markets. Entering the medina through Bab Boujeloud, immediately turn left onto the shop-lined, bamboo-shaded rue Talaa Kebira. To the left is the grain market, while further along is the entrance to Bou Inania Madrasa, the finest Qur’anic university in Morocco. Constructed under the Merinid Dynasty in the 14th century, its beautifully carved white plaster walls and mihrab remain in remarkably good condition. The Zaouia de Moulay Idriss houses the tomb of Molay Idriss II, who established Fez as the capital of Morocco in 808. The cedarwood portal is adorned with faded geometric patterns. Nearby is the 14th century Al-Attarine Madrasa. Behind the magnificent bronze door lie intricately carved plaster walls topped by a cedarwood mantle and a splendid fountain. Other notable places in Fez include the viewpoints to the north of the city or most parts of Fes el Jedid, with the Royal Palace, the Jewish Quarter, and the Museum Dar al Batha. Once the capital of the country, today Fez is Morocco’s third largest city but is considered the country’s religious, cultural, and intellectual hub. Situated between the Riff and the Middle Atlas Mountains, the city consists of Fes El Bali, the old city, and Fes El Jedid, the new city. The King of Morocco’s wife, Princess Lalla Salma, was born in Fez, which has further increased the popularity of this medieval city.

About the destination: Marrakech, the gateway to the desert and the south, is an overwhelming experience unlike any other imperial city in Morocco. Its reddish-pink streets and alleys are alive with sounds, sights, smells, and life. The mid-summer heat can be intense enough to exhaust most tourists. The best times to explore Marrakech are early morning, early evening, and during winter, when temperatures are mild but drop significantly at night due to the cold air from the High Atlas Mountains. The Djemaa El-Fna, or Assembly of the Dead, is anything but what its name suggests. By day, it's a hot and crowded market, but at sunset, it truly comes alive as entertainers take over. This chaotic outdoor circus offers a microcosm of Morocco at its most exotic. Large audiences gather in tight circles around a diverse cast of performers. Almost every tour of Marrakech begins at the 12th-century Koutoubia Mosque, with its magnificent minaret overlooking the Djemaa. The minaret, topped by a lantern of three golden spheres, is the oldest and purest surviving example of Almohad architecture. The city’s two most breathtaking monuments date back to the 16th century. Feast your eyes and cool off at the ornate Ben Youssef Madrassa, the largest Qur’anic school in North Africa. Even more lavish are the dazzling Saadian Tombs, modeled after the interior of the Alhambra in Granada. The view from the terrace at the Badi Palace, now in ruins, is majestic. Nearby is the 19th-century Bahia Palace, an ornate and beautiful palace with tranquil, fountained gardens. To escape the relentless midday sun, wander through the lush Menara Gardens and relax in the charming lakeside pavilion. Marrakech is noisy, busy, dusty, and chaotic. It is a visual and sensory feast of color, diverse cultures, architecture, and design. Marrakech offers an exotic and exciting taste of Africa, and the best part is that it is only a few hours away from Europe by plane.
