Tour Overview
Morocco has so much to offer, and this 14-day adventure tour makes the most of it. Starting in Casablanca, we are joining the group that started in Marrakech the day before. We travel north to the Atlantic coast and the cities of Rabat and Meknes, before heading over to beautiful Chefchaouen and the Roman ruins of Volubilis. Moving on to Fes with its incredible medina, the tour heads south again for a camel trek in the Sahara Desert and an overnight stay in an authentic Berber camp. Then, travelling west, visit the Todra Gorge, pass through the Atlas Mountains and wind up at Essaouira back on the Atlantic coast. Finally, arrive back in majestic Marrakech in time to explore and marvel at this incredible city. *To start this tour in Marrakech – see our Morocco Encompassed 15-day tour* This hotel-based tour includes stays at 3*/4* hotels along with a night camping in a traditional Berber camp in the Desert.
