With its ancient cities, breathtaking mountains, picturesque valleys and rolling Saharan dunes, Morocco is a land of intriguing diversity. Your journey will see you exploring the countrys natural wonders as you wind your way through the magnificent High Atlas Mountains, clamber over the 650ft Saharan dunes, wander up into the beautiful Todra Gorge, and explore the unique rock formations in the Dades Gorge and the Dades Valley. Impressive as these landmarks are, theres so much more to experience in Morocco and you wont be missing out.
You will be travelling to the countrys cultural capital, Fes, where time seems to stand still, leaving a charming city marked by traditional Moroccan values. The narrow streets bustle with native women carrying their wares upon their heads, excitable children and mules laden with local produce. Marrakech offers an equally captivating atmosphere and your visit to the Djemaa el-Fna will find you surrounded by singers, story-tellers, acrobats, magicians and snake charmers!
