The oldest of the imperial cities in Morocco, and perhaps the most interesting and exciting to explore, Fes has undergone little colonial development adding to its medieval appeal. The most complete medina in the Arab world and a UNESCO World Heritage site, Fes is mad...

Your journey continues northwest, ascending the High Atlas mountains and through the Tizi n'Tichka pass. Stop near the top of the pass to enjoy the vista and the highest peak, Mount Toubkal at 13,671 feet (4,167 m). From there, visit Taddert to tour an argan oil coope...
Unlike Fes, Marrakech has Berber rather than Arab roots and today remains a major economic center. Founded in the 11th century, it is often referred to as the "Red City” due to the natural red pigment found in its walls and buildings. Meet your guide and discover the ...
Rise early and complete any last minute gift and souvenir shopping before finding the 12th-century Almoravid Koubba. The only surviving Almoravid monument, the Koubba was rediscovered in 1948. Next, visit the Marrakech Museum. Housed in the 19th-century Moorish Dar Mn...
