Description
Overview
Discover the spectacular sites of Morocco on this 10-day guided tour. View Morocco’s largest mosque in Casablanca and indulge in a feast of aromatic tagines and exotic fruits inside the ancient palace in Fes. Then take time to watch the enticing art of belly dancing. Be awed by the rugged red mountains of Dades Valley, then sip wild-herb tea alongside local nomads. Before you reach Marrakesh, walk around one of Morocco’s most impressive kasbahs at the gate of the Saraha, an earthen clay fortress and UNESCO World Heritage Site. And of course, you won’t leave Morocco without seeing the snake charmers, storytellers and acrobats in Marrakesh’s markets and souks, where you can buy anything from a cashmere scarf to a woven rug.
