Located between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, Morocco is as much a delight for travelers interested in history and culture as it is for those who want to immerse themselves in nature and enjoy outdoor activities. Be it the cities that transport visitors to centuries back in time or the beauty of Saharan dunes and rugged Atlas Mountains, Morocco has something to offer to every traveler.
This 11-day, active, small-group tour is the ultimate introduction to Morocco's breathtaking vistas and ancient cities. Start your journey from Casablanca with a drive through wide farming plains to Rabat. Explore Chefchaouen during a walking tour with a local guide before heading for the ancient city of Fez.
Put on your walking shoes and head for the Atlas Mountains from Fez. Travel through copses of evergreen pine, cedar and poplar trees. You might even encounter nomadic Berber people along the way. The mountains eventually give way to the vast expanse of the Sahara Desert. Try climbing the massive Merzouga dunes, some of which are around 250 m high.
Spend a night camping in the desert under the starry African sky. Next on the itinerary is a hiking trip in the valley of Todra, known for its series of river canyons carved out of limestone. Leave the wilderness behind and head back to civilization after that. Visit the cities of Marrakesh and Essaouira and see their highlights before the trip comes to an end in Casablanca, the final destination of your itinerary.

We have booked them last summer and have a great trip from Marrakech to Merzouga desert. The guide was informative, friendly and so funny. The desert camp.was excellent and more than our expectations. I highly recommend them
Our trip today was incredible. Because of your organization and putting the right people in place, we were able to experience another culture and world so different from ours.
Our driver, Manuel, was wonderful and such a lovely man. We would like to be neighbors to he and his wife . He not only drive us to Tarifa, but walked with us through the town. Then ushered us to the ferry, waited for us to return, and took us back to our hotel. Mohammad, our guide in Tangier was very well versed on the world on which he was raised, and offered us insights into the past and present of his culture and country. Very enjoyable!
This three-day, small-group tour of Morocco offers an amazing option for those who are short on time but interested in the highlights of northern Morocco. Meet your tour guide on arrival at the Tangier Port on the first day of the tour and travel to Fez.
Along the way, you will visit the ruins of the Roman city of Volubilis and enjoy a walking tour of Moulay Idriss, which was founded in the eighth century by Moulay Idris Al Akbar. Spend a whole day exploring Fez. See its highlights and visit its souks and guilds where old-world craftsmanship still survives.
The final day of this trip involves traveling to Chefchaouen before making your way to Tangier via Cape Spartel. We will see you off at the city where the journey started.
In June, we did the Toubkal Circuit, culminating in climbing Mt Toubkal, with your company. We had a fantastic time, led by Abdullah Agafay, a fantastic guide. He was a fount of information about Berber culture and wonderfully skilled both socially and technically at leading our trek. And when one of our group could not continue, he immediately organized transport back to Imlil. Chef Norden produced EVERY DAY fantastic meals that featured fresh fruits and vegetables as well as traditional Berber dishes. Samir and Abdulraman proved steady companions, springing into action to meet whatever need arose. I cannot recommend your company highly enough!
