About This Tour
Morocco has seen a long history of Berbers, Roman invasions, Islamic conquests, and European colonization, all of which have left their mark on its food, architecture, and traditions. This 12-day grand tour to Morocco gives pride of place to the Medinas of Morocco, from the cultural Fes to Tangier the cosmopolitan, through the mountains of Rif, Chefchaouen, Tetouan, and Asilah. Medinas of the North are still little known and yet so beautiful! With the Medina of Fez, a labyrinth that the mules find it difficult to cross, Meknes opens wide perspectives. Further north, waiting for the Medinas of the North still unknown: Chefchaouen the coquette, Tetouan white Andalusian, Asilah discreet. And Rabat, with the kasbah of Udayas and the Andalusian garden.
