Best Of Morocco, A Women-Only Tour
Lands so diverse they will leave you spellbound; Morocco is a sight to see. On this 11-day women-only tour, travel with a small group to view Morocco's largest mosque in Casablanca and indulge in a wine-paired lunch with the owner who shares her insights into Moroccan wine. Then take time to watch the enticing art of belly dancing. Be awed by the rugged red mountains of Dades Valley, then sip wild-herb tea alongside local nomads. Before you reach Marrakesh, walk around one of Morocco's most impressive kasbahs at the gate of the Sahara, an earthen clay fortress and UNESCO World Heritage Site. Opt to visit a traditional Moroccan spa or meet the inspiring women of a local cooperative over tea and snacks on a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience.
