Most people know Casablanca from the old movie with the same name. Well, if you’ve seen the movie, you’ll be surprised how Casablanca doesn’t look anything like the movie. Actually, Casablanca is an economic and commercial city; it’s the biggest city in Morocco with modern towers and facilities. However, if you feel nostalgic about the movie, you can actually find the famous Rick’s Cafe in Casablanca. The movie was filmed in California, but that didn’t stop from making an exact replica of the cafe in the real city. 

Leaving Casablanca behind, this tour will continue to northern Morocco, to the town called Chefchaouen.  The blue pearl of Morocco is one of the most unique cities in the world because of its blue shaded streets and buildings that are creating the most interesting scenery.  Lastly, the tour leads you to Fes, which is a fantastic cultural and historical hub. 5 days tour from Casablanca will also end in Casablanca.
