Walking through its narrow streets, you discover traditional markets, historic neighborhoods, and daily life that has remained unchanged for centuries.

During the visit, you explore some of the city’s most important landmarks, including the Royal Palace gates, Al Quaraouiyine University, the oldest university in the world, and the famous Chouara tanneries, where leather is still dyed using traditional methods.
