Visit Morocco’s Imperial cities in this packed one-week tour. The very name Morocco conjures up an enduring fascination – geographically close to Europe but culturally, a world apart. Despite the many years of French and Spanish colonial rule, a sense of the past is always present. In Morocco, you are quite literally walking on history. As a backdrop, the country’s vast geography is also remarkable: from the Mediterranean coastline through mountain ranges to the empty wilderness of the Sahara Desert. Roman ruins, Berber kasbahs, superb Islamic architecture, and the foothills of the Atlas Mountains are all bathed in a unique shimmering light. You can choose to lose yourself in the narrow, winding streets of the old medinas or join the locals amidst the clatter of a busy souk. Fez, Meknes, Marrakesh, and Rabat are Morocco’s imperial cities, and UNESCO lists them all as World Heritage sites. Dating back almost a thousand years, Marrakesh is where Europe, Africa, and the Middle East mingle and merge. Perched on the edge of the Sahara Desert and framed by the Atlas Mountains, this ancient trading hub quite simply bursts with intoxicating energy. Marrakesh is also the heartland of the Berbers, who have lived and farmed on this land since Neolithic times.
