Designed for travelers who want to experience the complete spectrum of Morocco's landscapes, this private 6-day journey connects the rugged red cliff beaches of the Atlantic Ocean, the pink granite rock formations of the Anti-Atlas Mountains, historic walled market towns, the lush date palm groves of the Draa Valley, the golden sand dunes of the Merzouga Sahara Desert, and the iconic clay kasbahs of the south.
