Morocco
Morocco is a land saturated with colour and rich in history, and it has long held a romantic allure for the westerner. In part, no doubt, thanks to Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman!! For many, its greatest charm lies in the labyrinths of the imperial cities – Fes, Meknes, Marrakech and Rabat.
The snow capped High Atlas Mountains, the great river valleys of the south with their magnificent red-earth kasbahs, the vast expanse of the desert – all offer the visitor a taste of the exotic. Morocco is famous for its excellent walking and cycling trips.
The adventurous traveller can enjoy a camel trek into the sand dunes and oases of the Zagora region. If you go camping overnight in the desert – take loads of film, the changing colours of the desert with sunset and sunrise will enthrall you. You can also explore the Atlas Mountains by jeep and discover the wild Todra Gorge on foot.

Classic Morocco
In Casablanca we visit the impressive Mosque of Hassan II and the new medina before driving to Rabat – a town of trees, gardens and monumental gateways. Here we visit the superb Kasbah des Oudayas, the old ruined citadel (Chellah) and see the vast Hassan minaret.Nearby, at Roman Volubilis we view outstanding mosaics before arriving at Meknes, with its lovely old medina, numerous minarets and extensive bazaars. Fes is a particular focus and we spend three nights here, exploring the medieval city and mixing with the locals at the spa village of Moulay Yacoub. Our final destination is Marrakech, where we stay in an historic riad and spend a day exploring elegant palaces, bazaars and its vibrant square – the Djemaa el Fna – framed against the snowy peaks of the Atlas Mountains.
