Whispers of Morocco: A Journey Through Culture & Contrast

Get ready for an unforgettable adventure across Morocco, a land where every corner tells a story. This all-encompassing trip takes you from the vibrant streets of Marrakech, with its colorful souks and historic palaces, to the spiritual heart of Fez, home to one of the world’s oldest universities and a maze-like medina.

Wander through the blue-washed alleyways of Chefchaouen, nestled in the Rif Mountains. Travel over the Atlas Mountains, past ancient kasbahs like Aït Benhaddou, and experience the dramatic beauty of the Sahara Desert—where you'll ride camels over golden dunes and sleep under the stars in a Berber camp.

With every step, you’ll enjoy authentic Moroccan hospitality, traditional cuisine, and a journey that weaves together the country’s diverse landscapes and cultures.

Chefchaouen may surprise you; its Medina has been carefully maintained with striking white and blue houses, red-tiled roofs, and artistic doors. Much of Chefchaouen was recreated by Andalusian refugees fleeing the Reconquista, so you might feel as if you're in the hills of Spain while exploring its streets. Let yourself be immersed in the relaxed pace of life in this rural retreat. The rest of the day will be free.
