Imperial Cities & Road of Wine tour

Imperial Cities Road of Wine in Morocco is a multi-storied that has woven its links with sub-Saharan Africa, Europe, and the wider Middle East into a whole cloth. Its mixed Arab and Berber population form a strong national identity, but one that is increasingly youthful, taking its best traditions and weaving the pattern anew – from the countryside to the city, from the call to prayer from the mosque to the rhythm of local hip-hop. Morocco has hundreds of faces and voices, ready to welcome the traveler in search of spice and adventure.

From the desert dunes to the peaks of the High Atlas, Morocco could have been tailor-made for travelers. Lyrical Landscapes This piece of North African rug is like the colorful and patterned rugs you’ll covet at local co-ops. The mountains – not only the famous High Atlas but also the countryside and sun ranges leading to desert oases – offer simple yet amazing pleasures.

Moroccan cities are among the most exciting on the continent. Join the centuries-old trail of Bedouins and traders to their ancient hearts, from the winding labyrinth of the medina in Fez to the Carnival Street theater of Djemaa El Fna in Marrakesh.

The maze-like souqs of Fez, the vast orange dunes of the Erg Chebbi, and Berber nomads in the Sahara, taste Morocco’s spice-scented cuisine at a private cooking lesson in Marrakesh. Bargain for a hand-knotted wool rug while sipping sweet mint tea in a noisy medina. Hike among the ancient villages and winding tracks of the High Atlas Mountains. Unwind in the windy-swept port town of Essaouira. Watch the stars from a tented camp in the deep, echoing silence of the desert.

On a tailor-made holiday to Morocco with Marrakesh Journeys, you’ll see the highlights — and much more — on your way, the fortified kasbah of Ait Benhaddou. Roman ruins at Volubilis. The blue-washed village of
Chefchaouen. What excites you? Travel at your own pace, in your style, with the confidence that we’ll show you the best options, wherever you go in Morocco.

A fascinating day lies ahead in medieval Fez, the cultural heart of the country. Founded in the 8th century by Moulay Idriss I, this imperial city was the capital of Morocco for more than 400 years and an important center of learning.

Enter the blue Moorishstyle Bab Bou Jeloud gate that takes us into the 1200-year-old bustling streets of the Old Quarter (Fez el-Bali) leading to a maze of narrow winding lanes and countless souks selling fragrant spices and endless arrays of local crafts. Stop to see the workers in the famous tanneries.

This architectural masterpiece is larger than St Peter’s Basilica in Rome and capable of holding more than 80,000 worshippers. No expense was spared for this landmark building. You’ll see its hand-carved ceilings, gleaming marble floors, and Venetian stained-glass windows.

Pass Mohammed V Square, home to some of the city’s most striking architecture before a scenic drive along the Corniche with its palm-lined boulevards, one of the city’s most fashionable districts.

Enjoy lunch at Rick’s Café, inspired by the legend of Bogart and Bergman before beginning the drive overland to enchanting Marrakesh.

Later, an open-top horse-drawn sunset carriage ride in an iconic carriage leisurely takes us along the streets of magical Marrakesh. We end the day at the picturesque Majorelle Gardens with its electric blue villa that Yves Saint Laurent gifted to Marrakesh, now a mirage of over 300 plant species from five continents, and the Majorelle Museum with its displays of traditional arts.

We are invited into a Berber home for homemade tea and authentic cultural exchange before reaching our retreat in a secluded desert hideaway overlooking the vast Moroccan wilderness, framed by olive trees and organic gardens.

There’s a tempting small and charming stone pool, colorful hammocks, and camel rides in this magical place, offering you the opportunity to commune with nature. Toast the
