Morocco
This is the place where Europe, the Arab East and Africa meet, a real melting pot of customs and cultures. Here slaves became viziers and built their palaces, from here Barbary pirates attacked ships, keeping the entire Mediterranean in fear!

Morocco has two coasts, snowy mountains in the Atlas range, and the Sahara desert where Berbers know how to find water. You can find world-famous carpets, spices, and even a valley filled with the most gorgeous Damask roses and an annual Rose Festival to celebrate. There are also epic fortresses, chill traditional riads with gardens, a city with walls painted the bluest blue, super loud oriental markets, and jaw-dropping Moorish architecture that'll impress even the most boujee of travelers.

We arrive in Casablanca.
We have lunch on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, and then go to the Hassan II Mosque - the largest mosque in Morocco. It was designed by French architect Michel Pinso in such a way that part of the building hangs over the ocean.
According to one version, King Hassan II of Morocco ordered: "The Throne of Allah rests on the water, and the mosque will also rise above the water." After the mosque, we will visit the Villa des Arts de Casablanca gallery, made in the Art Deco style. It was built in 1934 as a space for contemporary art and creativity in Morocco. The gallery is the first private museum in Casablanca.
At the end of the day, dinner awaits us. We stay overnight in Casablanca.

We leave for Marrakesh.
Together with a guide we will visit the most beautiful and interesting places in the city. For example, the Mahkama du Pache Palace, where we will have lunch in the legendary cafe.
At the end of the day we will go to the hammam, and after it you will have dinner with a folklore show.
We will devote the whole day to one of the most colorful cities in Morocco.
The first on the program will be Majorelle Park, created in 1919 by the French Orientalist artist Jacques Majorelle. The park was subsequently acquired by the French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent. There is a museum here that houses fabrics from the personal collection of the fashion designer and paintings by Jacques Majorelle.
We will continue with a walk through the streets of the Old City and a visit to the traditional Arab market. Antiques, the spicy aroma of spices and noisy bargaining - here you can plunge into the atmosphere of real oriental bazaars. If there is time left, we will visit Jamaa el-Fna Square. Here, local dancers and musicians create a holiday every day, fortune tellers wait and charm snake charmers. We will visit the secret garden, see the Menebhi Palace, the Ben Youssef Madrasah and the Almoravid era qubbah - this is one of the oldest attractions of Marrakech.

We have breakfast at the hotel and drive towards the High Atlas Mountains.
First of all, we will take a walk in the Anima Garden at the foot of the Atlas Mountains. It was designed by the Austrian artist, actor, singer and composer Andre Heller. The once deserted site has become a place of interweaving of nature and art in a few years: this is an art gallery where exhibitions of paintings and photographs are held, as well as unique installations from around the world.
We are staying at the Kasbah Hotel. It rises on top of a hill in the Ourika Valley. From here you have a panoramic view of the entire valley, olive groves and a raging mountain river! The Kasbah is also an opportunity to see elements of the architecture of the Berbers, the indigenous people of Morocco. The buildings are mainly constructed from rammed earth, making the hotel one of the most environmentally friendly in Morocco.
