Spend a polished day leaving Casablanca for Marrakech’s historic medina, luxury palaces, and a stony Agafay desert sunset. This private, wheelchair-accessible excursion pairs curated photo stops with a traditional medina lunch.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Dawn finds the luxury car slipping out of Casablanca toward the ocher walls of Marrakech — an hourglass of highway, palm groves and distant Atlas foothills. By midmorning travelers step into the medina’s bustle: narrow alleys, the scent of spices, and tilework catching light like small mirrors. The itinerary trades hurried sightseeing for staged moments — a photo stop at the Grand Royal Mansour, time beneath La Mamounia’s famed arcades, and a relaxed lunch in the medina where traditional tagines and mint tea frame conversations.
