Few miles from europe, bordered by the atlantic ocean and the mediterranean, governed by the atlas and overtaken by desert, morocco is a land for landscapes and relief contrast.
It is also a soul, that of a warm people that makes a point of honour to be a good host guest.
This private tour offers the chance to combine the historical imperial cities of Fez, Rabat, Meknes and Marrakech with the often breathtaking scenery of Morocco’s diverse landscapes, from the rolling hills and cedar woods of the Middle Atlas mountains to the vast sandy wastelands of the Sahara desert.
