Morocco · 12 Days / 11 Nights · From $895 AUD
Discover Morocco in all its colour and contrast on this 12-day adventure from Casablanca to Marrakech. Wander the labyrinthine medinas of Fes and Marrakech, spend a night under Saharan stars after a sunset camel ride in Merzouga, and lose yourself in the blue-washed streets of Chefchaouen. Cross the High Atlas mountains at 2,260m, explore the ancient kasbah of Ait Benhaddou — a filming location for Gladiator and Game of Thrones — and share tea with a women's cooperative in the Dades Valley. Morocco at its most essential.
Arrive in Casablanca and settle in. Your tour leader will host a welcome meeting at 6:00pm to run through the adventure ahead. The rest of the day is free to explore at your own pace — stroll the corniche or wander the Art Deco city centre.
