The Experience Itinerary
8:00 AM Private Atlantic Coast Cruise
Your private driver will welcome you from your hotel, riad, or the port of Tangier aboard a high-end vehicle (4x4 or fully equipped minibus).

10:30 AM Royal Intrigues: The Imperial Palace (Dar al-Makhzen)

Discover the fascinating history of the Alaouite dynasty and the secrets surrounding the kingdom's nerve center.
11:30 AM The Corsairs' Fortress: Kasbah of the Udayas
Pass through the imposing stone gate, Bab Udayas, to enter a 12th-century defensive fortress steeped in tales of pirates and Barbary corsairs. Wander through a labyrinth of cobbled alleyways painted in blue and white, discover hidden Andalusian gardens, and gaze out from the legendary Krikia viewpoint, where the waters of the Bou Regreg River meet the raging Atlantic Ocean.
1:00 PM The Unfinished Enigma: Hassan Tower and Mausoleum of Mohammed V
Facing the Atlantic rises the imposing Hassan Tower, the minaret of a monumental 12th-century mosque that aspired to be the largest in the Islamic world before being frozen in time.
