Morocco Adventure
Guided - 19 Nights/20 Days
Includes a 7 day High Atlas Mountain Trek
There are few places in the world that offer a mix of pure ‘exotica’ with the sophistication and style
of European café life like Morocco.
This exciting journey offers four distinctively different regions and experiences - the cultural treasures and beautiful architecture of Fez and Marrakech; the Berber villages and oases of the Sahara Desert;
the grandeur of the High Atlas Mountains; and the white-washed seaside village of Essaouira on the Atlantic Coast.
Where in the world would you get such diversity in one country?
