Moroccan Discovery

November 2, 2013 - November 15, 2013

Morocco—a land of dramatic contrasts—invites with its ancient ruins, sacred mosques, lush desert oases, imposing Kasbahs, spirited souks, and villages where life proceeds much as it has for centuries. Visit six UNESCO World Heritage Sites including Meknes, Morocco’s youngest imperial city; Volubulis, with its ancient Roman ruins; and Fez, prized for its cultural, religious, and educational institutions.  Follow a fabled ancient caravan route in the snow-topped High Atlas Mountains, see spectacular Todra Gorge and travel to the fortified city of Ait ben-Haddou. Spend three nights in alluring Marrakech, taking time to enjoy mint tea in the home of a local Berber family before concluding in storied Casablanca.
