Moroccan Discovery
March 22 - April 4, 2026
Open your eyes — and heart — to an age-old culture and genuinely hospitable people.
Experience this country of dramatic contrasts, travelling from seaside Rabat to the desert towns of Erfoud and Ouarzazate and through the snow-topped High Atlas. On a journey featuring the many cultural treasures of Fez, Marrakech, and Casablanca — and five UNESCO sites — encounter Roman ruins, an ancient caravan route and bustling medinas. Dine with local people in a private home and in a family-run riad, and watch the sun set over the Saharan dunes on camelback.
