Splendors of Morocco

Explore. Wonder. There’s so much to fit in hiking and mountain biking, learning to roll couscous, camel trekking, shopping in the souks, getting lost in the medina, and sweating in the hammam. You can lazily watch the world go by on panoramic terraces above scented gardens and grand squares, or eagerly mop up tajines flavored with saffron and argan. And meeting the gracious Moroccan people involves nothing more than sitting in a café and waiting for your mint tea to brew. Exotic, sometimes overwhelming, and always unexpected, Morocco is bursting with life, ancient history, and natural beauty.
