Sights and Insights
Meet your private guide and set out on foot for a walking tour today, visiting a pair of Seville's most outstanding monuments: Seville Cathedral, and the Seville Royal Alcazar. Begin with a stroll around Barrio de Santa Cruz, formerly the Jewish quarter, and the most picturesque and delightful part of the city, with narrow winding cobbled streets and whitewashed houses. From there, head to the Seville Royal Alcazar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, housing different palaces of various periods, and its gardens, which evoke its Muslim past. The upper levels of the Alcazar are still used by the royal family as the official Seville residence. Afterward, you’ll visit the largest Gothic cathedral in the world; the Seville Cathedral, also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and home to the tomb of Christopher Columbus. This Roman Catholic cathedral stands on the site of the 12th century Great Mosque, of which only the minaret remains. Locally known as “La Giralda”, it was converted to the cathedral’s bell tower in the mid-13th century.
Please note: Passports are required to visit the Royal Alcazar. Failure to present a valid passport may result in denied access.
Make your way independently to El Arenal Tablao Flamenco this evening, where you'll cap your day with a magical night of authentic flamenco performance, celebrating Andalusia's unique, world-renowned combination of song and dance. Located in Seville's traditional El Arenal district, between La Maestranza Theater and the Bullring, El Arenal Tablao Flamenco has been delighting audiences since its opening back in 1975.

GRANADA
Explore with an Expert
Intricate Moorish architecture, lush gardens, and a rich history spanning centuries converge as you join your private local guide on site for a tour of the Alhambra Palace, a breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage Site in Granada. On a rocky hill, on the banks of the River Darro, protected by mountains and within the eldest quarter of the city, the Alhambra rises up like an imposing castle, with its distinctive reddish stone in its ramparts which prevent the outside world from seeing the delicate beauty enclosed within. The Alhambra ranks among the world’s finest examples of Islamic art with carved cedar, intermittent stucco work, and gorgeous mosaics. Originally designed as a military area, the Alhambra became the residence of royalty and the court of Granada in the middle of the 13th century. The complex of monuments is formed by the stunning Moorish palaces, including the Palace of King Charles V, and the Generalife, which is surrounded by orchards, tranquil pools, fountains and beautiful gardens, which you'll also visit. At the end of your tour, you can either choose to walk back down the hill to explore the city, or return by taxi (paid locally). If you prefer us to arrange private transfers, please let us know.
Please note: Passports are required to visit the Alhambra Palace. Failure to present a valid passport may result in denied access.
The medieval town of Granada is host to a number of optional (not included) cultural experiences, ranging from cooking demonstrations, tapas tours, and flamenco shows, to classes where you can learn to speak Spanish, how to paint ceramics, or how to dance in flamenco style. Please speak with your Travel Consultant if any of these are of interest.

A Journey Back in Time
Step back in time to the Middle Ages with a visit to Fes el Bali, the world's largest and oldest living medieval medina, and the cultural heart of Morocco. Wander through its maze of 9,000 narrow lanes, alleys, and souks that form the city’s historic core. This UNESCO World Heritage Site was once a renowned hub of learning. At its center stands the Karaouine, one of the oldest universities in the world, which was a leading spiritual and educational center of the Muslim world. Today, it serves as one of Morocco’s major religious institutions, governing Muslim festivities throughout the year across the country. Nearby, discover the Attarine Medersa, a stunning 14th-century Koranic school showcasing exquisite Hispano-Moorish architecture.
Next, visit Nejjarine Square, where a striking mosaic fountain takes center stage. The adjacent Fondouq, a former caravanserai, has been transformed into a museum displaying carpentry artifacts. Fes is also famous for its leather production, where medieval techniques are still used. At the tanneries, you’ll learn about traditional methods of processing goat and cow hides, which are crafted into exquisite leather goods sold in the markets.
Continue your journey to Dar Batha and the Museum of Moroccan Arts, home to a rich collection of wood carvings, embroidery, tribal carpets, and ceramics. Then, explore Fes el Jedid, or "New Fes," built in the 13th century by the Merinid Dynasty. Marvel at the Royal Palace, mosques, synagogues, souks, and ancient city walls. Fes el Jedid is also home to the Mellah, the old Jewish quarter, offering a fascinating glimpse into Jewish architectural heritage.
End your tour with a visit to a pottery workshop to see how the famous zellij tiles are made. These intricate tiles, a hallmark of Arabo-Andalusian dÉcor, are used in crafting the iconic Moroccan tagines. With a private driver and expert guide at your side, discover the essential highlights of Fes over the course of this full-day tour.
This evening, relax in authentic Moroccan style with a traditional tea service paired with freshly baked pastries infused with delicate local flavors.

FES
It’s All Ancient History
Today, depart from Fes with your private guide and driver to explore the Imperial City of Meknes and the Roman city of Volubilis. In antiquity, Volubilis was an important Roman town situated near the furthest western frontier of Roman conquest, built atop the ruins of a previous Carthaginian settlement from the 3rd century CE. The administrative center of Roman Africa, then called Mauretania Tingitana, Volubilis, the fertile lands of the province produced many commodities such as grain and olive oil which were then exported to Rome, contributing to the country’s wealth and prosperity. Next, you’ll visit the Imperial city of Meknes, also known as the Moroccan Versailles. Meknes was founded in the 17th century by King Moulay Ismail and is famous for its 25-mile long walls. Rumors abound about when the site was completed, and whether the primary architect, El-Mansour, was executed after its completion for admitting to King Moulay Ismail that he could have done a better job. Later in the afternoon, you will be returned to your hotel in Fes.

MARRAKECH
Explore a City of Contrasts
The sweeping and dynamic history of Marrakech – an imperial capital in centuries past – is best appreciated with the help of a private guide. Today, begin your tour of the Ochre City with a visit to the Koutoubia Mosque. Constructed in the 12th century, it’s known for its a beautiful minaret which can be seen from nearly every approach to the city due to a long-standing ordinance that forbids any other building in the old city to rise above the height of a palm tree. After viewing Koutoubia Mosque, visit nearby El-Bahia Palace. Translated to English, the El Bahia Palace means “Palace of Brilliance,” and this incredible, ornate and meticulously crafted property is endowed with some of the finest ceramics in the country. This 19th century palace was built over a seven-year period for Ba Ahmed, the son of the Grand Vizier Si Moussa. Featuring a trapezoidal garden, tiled courtyard, and many hidden treasures in the form of antique objects d'art and the palace's convergence of Andalusian and Moorish architecture, it is a must-see site. Your next stop is one of most coveted archeological sites in Morocco: the Saadian Tombs. Opened to the public in 1917, they are accessed through a narrow passage which leads to an enclosed garden and into two mausoleums that host more than one hundred mosaic-decorated tombs. The Musee De Marrakech, your next stop, is an important example of Moorish architecture, and the main courtyard and chambers are host to impressive feats of design; elaborate archways, gorgeous stained glass, and a collection of ceramics that are sure to dazzle. Finally, wander through the mesmerizing souks of Marrakesh. With 18 souks selling a dizzying array of handicrafts, textiles, spices, foods, electronics, antiques and everything in between, the souks of Marrakech are the perfect place to find a keepsake to bring home, or to simply get in touch with day-to-day life in the Red City.
