Depart on an eight day journey through all four of Morocco’s Imperial cities, which have all held the title of capital at some point in history. Re-live the glory of these four cities, with visits in between to Casablanca, Moulay Idriss and Beni Mellal on this unforgettable journey from Marrakech.
The oldest former capital is Fes, which was established in the ninth century under Sultan Idriss II. After the fall of his dynasty, Marrakech became the capital under the Almoravides, but Fes regained status as capital twice since under different rulers. In the 12th century under Almohad control, Rabat was built and became the capital before being replaced by Meknes during the rule of Morocco's notorious sultan Moulay Ismael. Rabat again became capital under the French protectorate, and has since retained the title after Morocco’s independence.
