KINGDOM
The Kingdom tour offers an amazing experience. You will see the stunning colonial architecture and palm-lined boulevards of Rabat, the gorgeous bay of Tangier, wander the winding paths of Chefchaouen’s whitewashed Medina, the impressive ramparts and monumental gates of Meknes, the craftsmen, markets, tanneries and mosques of Fes, the endless dunes of the Sahara Desert, the diverse landscapes of the Rif, middle and high Atlas mountains, and the storytellers, snake charmers and henna painters of Marrakech’s Jama’a Elfna. You will go back in time to the Roman Empire at the archaeological site of Volubilis, and discover the 17th century kasbahs of Ait Ben Haddou.
Morocco encapsulates the exoticism of far more distant lands. The towering Rif and Atlas mountains proved historically to be an impenetrable barrier to successive invaders, thereby preserving the lifestyle and language of the indigenous Berber, Arab, Jewish and African inhabitants added a richness and unique cultural depth to this mediterranean country.
With each destination having its own unique history, wonders and highlights, The Kingdom tour is one unforgettable cultural adventure.
