ESSENTIAL

Essential tour delivers everything you expect. We will take you to the fascinating labyrinthine 9th century Medina, noisy markets, gardens and to the sand dunes of Merzouga. Moroccan cities evoke images of Medinas, spice markets, and astonishing architecture. While the geographic extremes, from the Atlas mountains to camels in the desert, make it eminently photogenic.

As we travel from the imperial cities of Rabat, Fes, and Marrakech to the high Atlas mountains and vast Sahara, we open our eyes, and hearts, to a truly foreign land, an age-old culture, and genuinely hospitable people.

Our classic tour package allows you to explore the top sites of the country, discover the remains of ancient Rome, Medinas, the Berber villages, oases in the desert, canyons and towns with the houses made of the dust of the mountain and invigorated Kasbahs.

Morocco is a magical country with something for every traveler, and Essential tour is an awe-inspiring experience.
