Welcome to Morocco, a land riche in culture, shaped by the vagaries of history.
At any time in the year, you ’ ll be as sounded by the wide range
of experiences Morocco has to offer, from sumptuous places and
vast gardens to the spice-scented bustle of the souks. In just a few
hours, you can travel from the snow-capped peaks of the atlas to
the sands of the desert. You ’ ll watch in fascination as the dexterous fingers of master craftsmen fashion masterpieces of embroidery, tapestry and jewellery, each one unique in its own way and,
of course, don ’ t forget the fabled of the locals: the coin of the
realm!
