After the gathering, we head to the capital of Morocco, Rabat (UNESCO 2014), a
city that stays green throughout all four seasons. Upon arrival, we visit the iconic
landmarks within the city, including the Royal Palace of Morocco, the Mausoleum of
Mohammed V, the Hassan Tower, and Kasbah of the Udayas, admiring the beauty
of the architecture. In the afternoon, we proceed to Chefchaouen, known as the
Blue City. Built against the mountains, the locals have painted everything - doors,
steps, stairs, window sills, flower stands, mailboxes, and every visible surface -
in different shades of blue, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. Chefchaouen, the
Blue City is situated on the hillside. Some hotels may not be accessible by large

1996). It is renowned as the 'City of Many Gates,' with majestic ancient city walls and

Did you experience the sunrise in the desert this morning? After breakfast, you'll pass
