 MOROCCO


For centuries, Morocco has been home to great civilizations, poets, artists, pilgrims, writers and spiritual seekers. This is a country with a past and a present as colorful as its carpets.                                 

The Northern and western coasts provide beautiful beaches and a sunny, sub tropical climate. The Pillars of Hercules spectacularly brood over the Mediterranean watching over the ferry crossing from Europe. The western coast fringes the Atlantic, with long lines of breakers and beaches stretching south to marchlands of the Mauritanian border.

Much like the European Mediterranean, the coast is dotted with farmlands and olive trees, the link of beaches only broken by seaside cities and towns like the Political Capital Rabat and the Economical Capital Casablanca.


The Rif Mountains and the three ranges of the Atlas Mountains (The Mid, High & Anti Atlas) dissect the county from North-West to South-East and are all distinctive regions in their own right.

The Rif and the Middle Atlas feature rolling hills covered in cedar, ash, oak and juniper forests, and quiet cascades. Cradled between their folds are the famous royal cities of Fez and Meknes.

The High Atlas contains Jbel Toubkal, the highest mountain in North Africa; its peaks provide a range of tantalizing trekking possibilities.

The Royal City of Marrakech sprawls out to the scrub of the semi-desert, within sight of snow-capped peaks. The Atlas tumble down to the Southern plains and valleys of the Pre-Sahara and the Oases and Kasbahs of legend. The dunes at Merzouga are among the highest in the world, with the Pre-Sahara extending to the Southern borders.

The arid Anti Atlas is altogether different again and home to distinctive Moroccan Villages with their strange blue painted boulders and craggy clay-colored contours.

Altogether this makes for dizzyingly diverse range of environments, all within a country the size of California.

Whatever your itinerary or interests are, beauty abounds.

Morocco’s charms can be likened to its Special Spicy dishes and Sumptuous Cuisine. Like the dishes, the Country’s spices insinuate themselves into the senses, producing a plethora of tastes and experiences.

There are no cities in Morocco without their Medinas, the old walled settlements now lying within modern cities, and this is where you will find the quintessential Morocco of souks and vibrant activity against a medieval backdrop.

Visitors return from Morocco as if awakening from a dream-one might have been making use of the famous Time Machine. But one will never forget the skill of its goldsmiths, the dexterity of its merchants, the workmanship of its wood sculpture and the friendly hubbub of its souks.

After you have left, Morocco lingers in the senses, ever present until you can return to its sultry charms once more.

Morocco has long played host to travelers, and they in turn have carried the stories and scents of the Moroccan Maghreb to generations of eager to embrace its mysteries for themselves.

Today your presence will be welcomed with a personalized graciousness and hospitality extended to every traveler who comes to this compelling part of the world.
