If you plan to spend time in Morocco and want to take advantage of everything it has to offer, read on. So don’t wait to book this incredible package that includes a 12-day tour from Casablanca. It includes a trip to Chefchaouen as well as stops at Rabat, Fes, Meknes, and Marrakech, all of which are historic cities, as well as beautiful views of the Atlas Mountains, Berber Villages, the Sahara Desert, and the coastline.
The journey gives you an in-depth look at Morocco because you will explore the country’s interior at a depth that a regular traveler cannot. It will give you a chance to experience Morocco as it truly is and visit some of the country’s top attractions.
This 12-day tour from Casablanca will enable you to hike along vanished caravan routes, ride camels over enormous sand dunes in Erg Chebbi, camp in the Desert of Merzouga, and cool off in an oasis at the base of a George, in addition to cultural stops in historic cities, desert exploration, medieval medinas, lively souks, ancient ruins, and old kasbahs.
Moreover, your journey is not linear but has several cultural stops. For instance, if you are traveling from Fez to the desert, you will pass through Azrou’s cedar forest, where you can encounter wild monkeys. You’ll also pause in Ifrane so you may snap pictures with the lion statue.
If you want to spend enough time in Morocco and learn about its culture, 12 days is the ideal amount of time. This tour is crucial since it ensures that you visit Morocco at a leisurely pace. While not rushing, you allow sufficient time for each location.
The 12-day journey is significant since it includes Essaouira, which the bulk of travel companies overlook. We chose this city for two reasons: first, it has a vibrant spiritual music scene, and second, Game of Thrones used it as a background. Many tourists who watched the program were incredibly eager to get there. As a result, the city is deserving of its position among Morocco’s best tourist destinations.
Finally, the tour visits all of Morocco’s Game of Thrones locations. The Cinema Studio, the Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou (Yunkai), which was named the second-best Game of Thrones Instagram destination, and Essaouira were among the places we listed (Astrapor).
Don’t forget to pack your camera.
