from the Imperial Cities to the Shara

On this 14-day small group journey, you open your eyes and heart to an age-old culture and genuinely hospitable people.  Begin by touring the Moroccan capital, seaside Rabat, and enjoy lunch in a private home.  See imperial Meknes and Volubilis’ Roman ruins, two of the itinerary’s five featured UNESCO sites.  Next is exploration of Fez with its fascinating medina, and dinner in a family-run riad-a Moroccan guesthouse.  After crossing the Middle Atlas mountains, reach Erfoud and experience a tour highlight:  a sunset camel ride along the Sahara’s breathtaking dunes.  En route to Ouarzazate, encounter the spectacular, snow-topped High Atlas, including dramatic Todra Gorge.  Traverse the fabled “Route of a Thousand Kasbahs” and visit scenic Ait ben-Haddou village.  In alluring Marrakech, tour the medina and the city’s heart, Djemaa el Fna Square.  The final destination is storied Casablanca, where a highlight is touring the magnificent Hassan II Mosque.
