Tour Overview
Ten days to see Morocco properly, from the blue lanes of Chefchaouen in the Rif Mountains to two nights of Sahara stargazing at Merzouga. In between: unhurried time in Marrakech's souks and gardens, the UNESCO kasbah of Ait Benhaddou, the Dades and Todra Gorges, the ancient university city of Fes, and the imperial capitals of Meknes, Rabat, and Casablanca.
