Morocco

A realm of desert sands, Atlas peaks, and ancient medinas.

Morocco is a mosaic of worlds, where ancient kasbahs whisper through medina alleyways and snow-peaked Atlas giants overlook desert seas of sand. Wander its winding souks fragrant with spices, ascend mule paths through mountain villages alive with Berber tradition, then sink into silent Sahara nights beneath candlelit tents. Along the Atlantic, medinas spill onto windswept ramparts, while stretches of ochre dunes touch the sky. From riads dripping with tilework to nomad camps under constellations, Morocco offers cultural sophistication and desert mystery in equal measure.

Highlights

  • Explore the medinas of Fez and Marrakech
  • Trek the Atlas Mountains to Berber villages
  • Camp under the stars in the Sahara Desert
  • Wander through the town of Essaouira
