SMALL GROUP TRIPS
IMPERIAL CITIES & DESERT
Ref: MR
Introduction
We visit the ancient 'Royal Cities' of Rabat, Meknes, Fes and Marrakech;
explore the towering Saharan Sand Sea of Merzouga; discover the
wild Todra Gorge on foot and relax in the lovely Atlantic coastal
resort of Essaouira. We'll enjoy drinking mint tea with the locals,
eating cous-cous, socialising and simply soaking up the legendary
magic of Morocco.
Tour information
Rabat, Meknes, Volubilis & Fes
From Casablanca we drive to Rabat, the present imperial capital,
where we take a stroll around the Kasbah des Oudaias. We spend time
in the old Moorish city of Meknes, wandering around the sites and
medinas and exploring the impressive remains of Roman Volubilis
and the holy city of Moulay Idriss. Two days are spent in the exotic
town of Fes where we explore the souks and crowded alleyways of
the Medina.
Merzouga Sand Sea & Todra Gorge
Heading south across the flanks of the Middle Atlas, we stay on
the edge of the Sahara, close to the great shifting Sand Sea of
Merzouga, where there is a chance to use 4WD vehicles to explore
the area and the option to take a camel ride and camp out in the
desert. Continuing past tiny palmeries and mud-brick villages, we
make for the dramatic Todra Gorge - hemmed in on all sides by vertical
limestone cliffs which rise up 400m. We'll take time to explore
these deep chasms on foot.
The Atlantic Coast & Marrakech
Crossing the Jebel Sahro Massif, we'll explore the Valley of a Thousand
Kasbahs. We then cross the Tizi n'Tichka Pass through the High Atlas
and relax at the Atlantic resort of Essaouira - a delightful blend
of Southern European, French and Arab cultures. Finally we spend
two fabulous days in Marrakech. Its animated Djemma-el-Fna Square
is the 'Heart of Morocco' a focal point where Berbers and Arabs
come to exchange news, haggle and trade in jelabahs, carpets and
spices.
