Marrakech–Ouarzazate–Merzouga

with stops in ksar of Aït-Ben-Haddou, the Valley of Roses, and the Todra Gorge

Marrakech–Ouarzazate–Merzouga…     location specific copy (SELL THE BUY-IN)

With the pandemic that has impacted us all, are you ready to start enriching your life experiences? –we are too. Come spend nine-days with us in a variety of locations; from the bustling international cities of Casablanca, where you might meet and greet the Imam of the iconic Hassan II Mosque, to Marrakech’s Jemaa el Fnaa marketplace of exotic street performers and henna artists, or how about Fez, home to the Choura Tannery, which dates back to the 11th century. Chefchouen, the “Blue Pearl” or Al Hociema in northern Morocco are visually unique as well.

Perhaps you prefer the desert location Ouarzazate, known as ‘Morocco’s Hollywood,’ located in southern Morocco or Agafay, just an hour outside Marrakech where you’ll ride camels, relax around a campfire with live local music, and sleep under the stars in tents amongst the dunes. Any highlight Ali/Amal can mention, –stories, the people, places and detail
