Moroccan Magic Carpet (Family) 10 days

Moroccan Magic Carpet

Morocco is a country of many contrasts. Fragrant, labyrinthine souks and imposing mountain ranges give way to lush valleys and the endless dunes of the Sahara desert.


We meet a diverse array of cultures in our travels throughout this vast land. Berbers, Arabs, nomadic tribesmen have all helped shape Morocco. Centuries ago, the caravan tradesmen helped build the imperial cities of Fes and Meknes, that served as rest stops to Europe's rich.

We visit gardens, ancient mosques, mud brick kasbahs, walled towns and buzzing market places. This truly remarkable country will have a sight and sound and scent waiting around every corner.

      Cathryn and I would like to commend our tour guide Atiqa and the driver Abdou.  To say they were excellent would not be sufficient praise.  They were an integral part to our enjoyment of this bus tour.  The accommodation was generally acceptable - but definitely only 3 star at best (which should be noted).  I felt our stay in Fes was a little too long (see below) but the overall balance was good.

      Go for it.  Once you are out of the cities Morocco is like being perpetually on a movie set for a biblical film.  Make sure you are aware that there is a possibility of 2 nights on the floor of a dormitory in the Berber Village.  Make sure you have a torch for the desert.  I found a head lamp worked very well, especially when using the squat toilet.
