11-DAY TOUR OF MOROCCO FROM THE SOUTH TO THE NORTH OF THE COUNTRY, VISITING THE DESERT<\/strong><\/h1>\n

With this fantastic tour, where every detail has been carefully considered, you'll have the opportunity to visit two of the country's most important cities: Marrakech, with its bustling and vibrant Jemaa el-Fna square, and Fez, a labyrinth of narrow streets where you can step back 100 years in time. You'll also see two cities renowned for their beauty: Chefchaouen, or "the Blue Pearl," so named for the colorful streets and facades of its buildings, and Tetouan, which is said to have the most beautiful medina in the country. Added to all this is a visit to Morocco's best-kept secret: its desert, the Sahara. We'll cross Merzouga with its 150-meter-high dunes and enjoy its blanket of stars, spending the night in an authentic, luxurious Berber tent. You'll live like a sultan\u2014a trip you won't soon forget!<\/p>\n
