Three Civilisations: Morocco, Andalusia & Portugal
Marrakech · Casablanca · Tangier +5
Follow the enduring Islamic and cultural connections between Morocco, Andalusia and Portugal over thirteen days. Travel from Morocco’s Atlantic cities and Rif Mountains across the Strait of Gibraltar into southern Spain, where the Alhambra and Córdoba’s Mezquita-Catedral reveal how Islamic architecture continued through changing empires. Continue west into Portugal before the route concludes in Madrid, placing each landmark within the wider history linking North Africa and Iberia. Return Qatar Airways flights, accommodation across the three countries, daily breakfast, selected lunches and dinners, coach transport, ferry crossing, guided entrances and tipping are included. Designed for travellers who want context as much as scenery, this journey explains why these places matter rather than simply moving between famous monuments.

Itinerary & Route
You land in Casablanca and the tour begins immediately — no easing in. The Hassan II Mosque is the right first stop: built on a promontory over the Atlantic, it’s the largest mosque in Morocco and one of the few open to non-Muslim visitors. After that, it’s a 3-hour drive to Marrakech, arriving in time for the evening at Jemaa El-Fnaa. Expect a long day, but an honest one.
Hassan II Mosque, Casablanca — Built to be seen from sea, its 210-metre minaret is the world’s tallest. The interior is open to visitors in guided groups — worth seeing before the medina context later in the trip.
Jemaa El-Fnaa Square, Marrakech — UNESCO-listed and genuinely different at night. The square transforms from a market to an open-air performance space after dusk. Walk it, don’t rush it.
