How long is Grand Imperial Cities and Ouzoud Experience?

7 days / 6 nights, departing from Casablanca. Start times are flexible — we plan around your flights.

Is this a private tour?

Yes. Every Visit Morocco Tours journey is private: your own vehicle, driver and licensed local guides. You never share with strangers.

Private transport with fuel and tolls, accommodation with breakfast, and the guided visits listed above. Flights, lunches, dinners and personal expenses are not included unless stated.

Can the itinerary be changed?

Yes. Days can be added, swapped or slowed down — tell us what matters most and we rewrite the route around it.

Is it suitable for families or older travellers?

Yes. Driving days are broken up with stops, walking is optional, and we can adjust pace, hotels and vehicle to suit everyone in your party.

Which imperial cities does this tour include?

Rabat, Meknes and Fez, three of Morocco's four imperial cities, plus the Roman ruins of Volubilis and the holy town of Moulay Idriss. Marrakech can be added as an extension if you'd like all four.

Why add the Ouzoud waterfalls?

Ouzoud is Morocco's highest waterfall and a beautiful contrast to the cities. Staying overnight means you see the falls in the soft morning and evening light, without the crowds of the Marrakech day trips.

How much walking is involved?

Easy to moderate. The medinas of Fez and Meknes have cobbles and slopes, Volubilis is an open site, and the Ouzoud trail has steps down to the base. Your guides set the pace, and comfortable shoes are enough.

When is the best time to visit?

Spring (March to May) is ideal, with green countryside and the Ouzoud falls at their fullest. Autumn is also excellent. Summer is hot inland, and winter is mild by day but cool in the Middle Atlas.
