Morocco Itinerary
Morocco is a mix of breathtaking landscapes made of mountains, desert and sea, ancient cities with labyrinthic medina, colourful bazaar, old traditions, flavours and aromas of spices that inebriate the air. Our journey starts from Casablanca and follows the classic route to see the imperial cities, the stunning dunes of Erg Chebbi, and the incredible Todra valley with its narrow canyon with vertical walls dug by the river. On our way to the famous Marrakech, we stop in Ouarzazate with its beautiful ocher-coloured Kasbah and visit the charming Draa Valley and the well known Ksar of Ait Ben Haddou, the best preserved of the whole of Morocco. Our trip ends with the visit to vibrant coastal towns like Essaouira, Safi and el-Jadida with their charming white buildings and big defensive walls that remind the Portuguese Period.
