Day 1
Casablanca to Rabat: Begin in Private Comfort
Meals: No meals unless arranged

On Casablanca to Rabat: Begin in Private Comfort, this is a transition day with its own identity. You arrive from “arrival” and leave with “Rabat to Fes via Volubilis” already shaping the next part of the journey. On day 1 of Luxury Morocco Sahara Tour - 13 Days from Casablanca, rabat is calmer than Morocco’s more famous tourist cities, which is precisely its value.

In the context of Casablanca to Rabat: Begin in Private Comfort, check-in, luggage and rest come before sightseeing, so any city visit remains flexible rather than becoming an obligation after a flight.

Day 2
Rabat to Fes via Volubilis
