Morocco offers a whole range of experiences. We aim to do all of this, and more! Our first week is spent exploring Rabat, Meknes, Fes and Marrakech. We also visit the Roman city of Volubilis and the local spa village of Moulay Yacoub. From Marrakech we drive to Setti Fadma, deep in the Atlas Mountains. We walk with our mules through spectacular scenery, enjoying expansive views of mountains and valleys, and we sleep in a simple family-run 'gite' in the Berber village of Timichi. Our last stop is the Portuguese coastal town of Essaouira, where there's ample time to explore its appealing whitewashed streets before returning to Marrakech.
