We're going to Morocco! This trip will cover all of the highlights of Morocco, including Chefchaouen (the Blue City), Marrakech, Fez, Casablanca, Dades Valley, and (my favorite) a Sahara Desert glamping trip!
Few countries hold as much dreamy fascination as Morocco. There's the crystal clear blue skies and contrasting copper sands of the Sahara. The peaks of the Atlas Mountains glistening with snow. And the magical city of Chefchaouen, with its striking, blue-washed buildings and cobbled lanes. Behind every city wall is an adventure in art, architecture, and cuisine. Morocco is a land of endless wonder, and I have never seen anything like it in my life.
The country is made up of four different areas: the Sahara Desert (full of Berber towns and oases), the Atlas and Rif Mountains (perfect for hikers), the plains (home to the imperial cities of Marrakesh and Fez), and the sandy coastlines of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean (graced by small beach towns and the cities of Rabat and Casablanca). And we're going to see it ALL!
It is no exaggeration when I say that Morocco is something out a movie scene. Everywhere you go feels so surreal, and the diversity of the landscapes makes you feel like you are in a different country every time you go to a new city.
This trip will be like nothing you've seen in your entire life and one you'll never forget--of this I am certain!

TRAVEL INSURANCE
Travel insurance is not included in the trip price; however, it is strongly recommended to protect against all the ways travel can go wrong.
I recommend my friends at Wanderwell; however, you can purchase from your preferred provider. Wanderwell values promoting sustainable, responsible travel and tourism. One percent of your insurance purchase price will be given to 1% for the Planet on a global scale to an organization selected by me. For this trip, I have chosen Friends of the Koala as my organization of choice. Friends of the Koala is committed to conserving koalas and preserving and enhancing their habitat, particularly in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia. After going to Australia during the fires of 2019 and seeing the devastation, first-hand, this has become a cause that is dear to my heart.
