However, we
will gladly assist you with
any other questions
you might have and
prepare a program with exclusive destinations
in Morocco
Asilah
Asilah is one of the
most beautiful old cities of Morocco, situated in the cliffs and
facing the Atlantic Ocean. Surronded by strong Portuguese
walls which date back to the 15th century, you'll find many of
the houses painted in the traditional blue-and-white
colours. People are attracted throughout the year by Asilah's
pleasant climate and centuries-old buildings. For two months
each summer it is the centre of one of Africa's most important
artistic festivals, an annual gathering of eminent writers,
poets and artists from all over the Arab and African world
Essaouira
One
of Morocco's most likeable resorts, Essaouira is an
eighteenth-century town, enclosed by medieval-looking
battlements, facing a cluster of rocky offshore islands, and
trailed by a vast expanse of empty sands and dunes.
Fez
Founded in the 8th century, and the oldest of the imperial
cities, Fez is definitely worth a visit. The old town lives in
the shadow of the minarets, sprawling outwards from the mosque
like a spider web of alleys, houses and shops. In the back
alleys you'll find potters, charcoal burners, goldsmiths and
weavers still practice their ancient trades for busy shops and
stores in the crowded streets. More than a 1000 years old, the
Jewish quarter, or mellah, produces some of the finest ironwork
in the country.
Marrakech
Marrakech is a city
of warm colours, noise and smells. A magical city filled with
dancers, fire-eaters and acrobats, snake charmers story tellers.
Its very name conjures up colorful images. Picture Palace
Restaurants with bubbling water fountains, mosaic walls and rose
petals scattered on table cloths; People still travel by donkey
through the city and the bustling souks invite passing strangers
to buy silver jewelry and hand-woven carpets.. Called the Red
City on account of the original clay colour of the houses,
Marrakesh'spectacular setting against the snow-capped High Atlas
Mountains cannot fail to impress. ,
Meknes
Meknes has been
called the Versailles of Morocco. It's an imperial city with a
lot of historical monuments and natural sites; It is also the
nearest city to the Roman historical town of Volubilis.
Rabat
The fourth of the
imperial cities, Rabat is a curious mix of a long past and a
highly modernised present. You can find considerable historic
and architectural interest in the city – and across the estuary
in Salé– which includes some of the finest and oldest
Arab monuments in the country, dating from the Almohad and
Merenid dynasties.
Tangier
Tangier, known as the
White City, is well known for its souks and traditional Moroccan cuisine.
Diverse culture, it offers many sights to visit.
Todra Gorge
Imagine a beautiful green oasis, with tall palm trees
standing at the mouth of this stunning mountain cleft of 300
mets of brown limestone walls which is Todra Gorge. The gorge
delivers an offering of high quality single and multi pitch
sports climbs of all grades. Both the Todra and neighbouring Dades
Rivers have carved out cliff-sided canyons on their final 40km through
the mountains. The final 600m of the Todra gorge are the most
spectacular as the canyon narrows to a flat stony track as
little as 10m wide in places with sheer and smooth rock walls up
to 300m high on each side.
Quarzazate
Quarzazate is scarcely 200km from Marrakesh but
you find yourself in a different world. Standing on the edge of
a vast desert plateau, with snow-covered peaks visible in the
distance you are on the threshold of the mighty Sahara.
The splendid surroundings, which have made the town very
demanded by film directors, have resulted in many
historical reconstitutions have been shot in the region. The
state-of-the-art infrastructures have made the town an ideal
stopping place for all visitors to the magnificent Dadès and
Draa valleys.
The nearby Kasbah Taourirt is one of the most impressive of
its kind in Morocco. Its tightly packed houses and stately
towers, made of a mixture of chalk and sand, melt almost
imperceptibly into the surrounding red and ochre-coloured
landscape. Like cubes of clay, the dwellings hide away from the
unrelenting sun-a narrow doorway being the only connection with
the outside world. Light and air come in through the central
courtyard. Yet the harsh desert can also be generous; at the
oases of Skoura an annual harvest of 4000 tons of roses is grown
on the fringes of immeasurable expanses of sand.
