PLM_LP_Tour 003 Königsstädte-Tour Luxury Hedonist_3 Stationen One of Morocco’s four Imperial Cities and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985, Marrakesh captivates with its historic medina, colourful souks and the legendary Jemaa el-Fna square.

Highlights

  • Private guided exploration of the medina, away from the usual tourist routes
  • Visit to Jardin Majorelle and the Musée Yves Saint Laurent
  • Curated designer shopping experience with personal guidance in the creative district of Sidi Ghanem

Why We Love It

Beyond its famous medina, Marrakesh has become one of North Africa’s most exciting design and lifestyle destinations. Exploring Sidi Ghanem and Jardin Majorelle reveals a sophisticated side of the city that many visitors never discover.

Morocco’s economic capital blends elegant 1920s and 1930s Art Deco architecture with contemporary energy. Its defining landmark is the magnificent Hassan II Mosque, one of the few mosques in Morocco open to non-Muslim visitors.

Highlights

  • Scenic journey in a premium chauffeur-driven vehicle
  • Private guided visit to the Hassan II Mosque

Why We Love It

Standing dramatically above the Atlantic Ocean, the Hassan II Mosque is home to one of the world’s tallest minarets and offers a rare opportunity to experience one of Morocco’s most extraordinary religious monuments from within.

Morocco’s capital and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Rabat offers a graceful blend of history, gardens and coastal charm, with a calmer atmosphere than the country’s other Imperial Cities.

Highlights

  • Explore the Kasbah of the Oudayas with its blue-and-white streets and Andalusian gardens
  • Visit Hassan Tower and the Mausoleum of Mohammed V
  • Discover the atmospheric Chellah Necropolis, where storks nest among ancient ruins

Why We Love It

Rabat offers a refined pace of life that surprises many visitors. It is elegant, understated and effortlessly sophisticated.

Created by Sultan Moulay Ismail in the seventeenth century, Meknes is renowned for its monumental architecture and imperial grandeur.

Highlights

  • Bab Mansour, one of North Africa’s most magnificent city gates
  • Explore the historic medina of Meknes
  • Visit Heri es-Souani, the Sultan’s vast royal granaries and stables

Why We Love It

Often overlooked by travellers, Meknes offers one of Morocco’s most impressive displays of royal ambition and architectural power.

PLM_LP_Tour 003 Königsstädte-Tour Luxury Hedonist_7 Stationen Just 30 kilometres from Meknes lies Volubilis, the remarkably preserved Roman city that once served as the capital of Mauretania Tingitana.

Highlights

  • DVisit the iconic Arch of Caracalla and the remains of the ancient basilica
  • Enjoy sweeping views across fertile plains towards the Rif Mountains

Why We Love It

PLM_LP_Tour 003 Königsstädte-Tour Luxury Hedonist_8 Stationen Founded in 789 AD, Fes is Morocco’s oldest Imperial City. Its UNESCO-listed medina, Fes el-Bali, is the world’s largest car-free historic quarter and one of the country’s greatest cultural treasures.

Highlights

  • Full-day private guided exploration of Fes el-Bali
  • Visit the famous Chouara Tanneries and the historic Al-Qarawiyyin University
  • Optional: Exceptional fine dining where French haute cuisine meets traditional Fassi gastronomy
