Highlights

Rabat: Discover Rabat’s spiritual and architectural heritage at the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, resting place of Morocco’s revered monarch and his sons. Nearby, the Hassan Tower rises, a monumental 12th-century minaret and enduring symbol of a grand mosque that was never completed.

Casablanca: One of the largest in the world and dramatically set on the Atlantic shoreline. Completed in 1993, its 210 m (689 ft) minaret is the second tallest on earth. The mosque features exquisite Moroccan artisanship, from hand-carved stone and wood to intricate zellij tilework and marble floors.

Meknès: Admire the Bab el-Mansour Gate on Place El-Hedim in the heart of the Medina.

Fes: Led by your Local Expert, wander the maze of streets that make up the ancient Medina. See one of the world's oldest universities and pass hidden courtyards, mosques and workshops. Continue through the souks, an array of vendors selling food, clothes, leather goods and beautiful lights.

Erfoud: Enjoy the beauty of this little oasis with the backdrop of the Sahara desert whilst you explore the red walled streets.

Tinghir: Marvel at Todra Gorge, a ravine created by a fault that split the orange-coloured limestone as deep as 400 m (1,312 ft).

Dades Valley: See the castellated mud houses and oases.

Ouarzazate: Learn more about this quiet town in a city orientation and see why it has been the backdrop to many films as you wander its red sandy streets.

Aït Ben Haddou: The Ksar is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the finest examples of South Moroccan architecture. See the crowded houses within the defensive walls that are reinforced by the corner towers and explore one of Morocco's finest kasbahs.

Marrakesh: Your Local Expert guides you past Jemaa el-Fnaa Square with its intriguing characters and through the seemingly entangled streets of the Medina with its many souks. See the protruding Koutoubia Minaret.

Essaouira: See the beauty of this bohemian coastal town as you explore the many spice-scented streets of the medina.

Itinerary

Discover the spectacular sites of Morocco on this 11-day guided tour. View Morocco's largest mosque in Casablanca and indulge in a feast of aromatic tagines and exotic fruits inside the ancient palace in Fes. Then take time to watch the enticing art of belly dancing. Be awed by the rugged red mountains of Dades Valley, then sip wild-herb tea alongside local nomads. Before you reach Marrakesh, walk around one of Morocco's most impressive kasbahs at the gate of the Saraha, an earthen clay fortress and UNESCO World Heritage Site. And of course, you won't leave Morocco without seeing the snake charmers, storytellers and acrobats in Marrakesh's markets and souks, where you can buy anything from a cashmere scarf to a woven rug.

The Tour Guide did not want the tourist to shop by constantly saying "no shopping, no shopping" every time we stopped. He yelled at one of the male tourist for buying something from a local man. A female tourist stopped looking at clothing and said "Here he comes. He's going to get mad" and walked away. I had to hide items purchased and he refused to give my carpet to me until the last day of the trip.

We had a great time touring this beautiful country. Our tour director is obviously knowledgeable about Morocco and its people and we enjoyed learning from him about both. Our driver did a super job as well. The tour was well organized and the multiple moving parts came together well. I would have liked some free time at the Medinas, and I think the approach to the carpets co-op could be rethought.
