9th day. MARRAKECH
There’s too much to see in Marrakech and too much excitement to simply move on. We’ll take a tour in the morning, concentrating on the walled city that has been a mecca of desert caravans for centuries.
We won’t miss the Koutoubia, with its tower that recalls the Giralda in Seville. The Menara gardens and the souks along winding alleys will also have our attention.

11th day. FEZ
We’ll spend a full day in Fez, and with good reason, for this is the spiritual and cultural capital of Morocco, with its largest old city, declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco.
