Morocco
Morocco is a historically rich and fantastically diverse country for the adventure traveler - from centuries-old trails meandering through pastoral villages in snow-capped mountains to iconic kasbahs (fortresses) that stand sentinel over vast arid landscapes below. Lively, eclectic, adventurous, and charming, Morocco exudes a sense of grandeur and majesty that is truly enchanting for visitors.
Morocco is most well known for its cultural richness, offering travelers the opportunity to immerse themselves in its ancient cities, historic monuments, and traditional ways of life. Navigate the narrow, winding lanes of Ait Benhaddou kasbah, admiring the panoramic views of the Atlas Mountains and surrounding valley from the upper sections. Wander through the labyrinthe alleys of Marrakesh’s historic medina, where you will encounter vibrant souks, historic palaces, and the bustling atmosphere of Jemaa el-Fnaa Square. Journey back in time with your private guide at the ancient Roman ruins in Volubilis and admire the craftsmanship of its well-preserved temples, mosaics, and basilicas.
For active travelers who love to get off the beaten track, adventures in the Atlas Mountains and in the Sahara Desert provide the perfect blend of physical activity, authentic cultural encounters, and world-class scenic landscapes. Say hello to local Berber shepherds in the tiny village of Midelt as your private guide takes you on a village tour to learn about the local, rural lifestyle. Saddle up a camel and journey out onto the undulating sand dunes of Erg Chebbi, taking in the surreal landscape that stretches endlessly around you. Spend a night or two at a luxury camp in the desert and sip refreshing mint tea while watching the magical spectacle of a Sahara sunset. Even on the most remote adventure, you will end the day in the modern comforts of boutique hotels and luxury camps, indulging in delectable dishes of slow-cooked meats, succulent salads, and delicate pastries.
No matter how you decide to customize your adventure, Morocco is a jewel of North Africa that beckons curious travelers with its beguiling blend of ancient charm and modern luxury.
