Immerse yourself in the age-old traditions and treasures of ancient Morocco, from its towering minarets to surreal scenery and humming markets. Begin this thrilling adventure with two nights in Rabat, home to the impressive Royal Palace. Plus, visit Casablanca, a showcase of brilliant architecture and the Hassan II Mosque, a spectacular minaret with a richly decorated interior. Then spend six nights in Marrakech where we’ll visit the subtropical Jardin Majorelle and explore vibrant souks and a centuries-old square filled with storytellers and musicians. Witness the dazzling Bahia Palace and Koutoubia Mosque, towering above the medina; then delve into Morocco’s authentic culture during a calligraphy lesson and culinary tour.
