Imperial tours

The cities of Fez, Meknes, Marrakech and Rabat are collectively known as the Imperial Cities and have all been the capital of Morocco at some point during its history. Home to one of the oldest universities in the world, Fez is considered to be the intellectual capital and the most imperial of Morocco’s cities. The ‘Old City’ and its medina are famed for their architecture. The labyrinthine souks, where traditional craft techniques are still practised, remain magnificently unchanged while the Royal Palace and Jewish quarter of the ‘New City’ are also worthy of a visit. Fez is only a short drive from Casablanca and a train connects the city with Marrakech. Alternatively, the 500 km can be covered by car in approximately seven hours. The smallest of the Imperial Cities, Meknes is a more relaxed city than its better known counterparts. Moulay Ismail dreamed of building a vast, extravagant city here and his legacy can still be seen today. Meknes has a wealth of well-preserved monuments and highlights include the Moulay Ismail Mausoleum, the Bab Al Mansour gate and the remains of the imperial palace. Meknes lies approximately 60 km from Fez and can be visited as a day trip or combined with the ruined Roman city of Volubilus and visited en route between Casablanca and Fez. Marrakech marks the crossroads of the ancient caravan routes from Timbuktu. The main square, the ‘Djemma el Fna’, is the heart of the city, and the souks that surround it are tribute to this city’s history as a centre for trade. Full of story-tellers, musicians and food stalls, this bustling and exciting open air market is a highlight of any visit. The peaceful gardens of Yves St Laurent, the ‘Jardin Majorelle’, are perfect for those looking for more tranquil surroundings. Other important sights include the Saadien Tombs, the Badi Palace and the Bahia Palace. The capital of Morocco, Rabat, is situated on the Atlantic coastal plain at the mouth of the river Bou Regreg and is located approximately 100

M'GOUN MASSIF

Although the M’Goun region, to the east of Toubkal, is accessible from Marrakech, it is less frequented by trekkers which may be an attraction for those who wish to get at least a little off the beaten track. The walking is superb and as challenging and strenuous as anywhere in the Toubkal area. The scenery is different with long ridges and spectacular deep gorges. The summit of M’Goun (4068m) is only just below that of Toubkal (4167m) and well worth the climb. Throughout the area are typical Berber villages with terraced fields and orchards.

Taste of Morocco

Rock climbing tour in the Todra Gorge

The Todra Gorge, situated on the remote eastern side of the High Atlas Mountains, is one of the more popular climbing destinations in the country, and many rock climbing tours focus on this region. If your destination is a rock climbing tour in the Todra Gorge, you will want to arrive in Marrakesh. You’ll depart the city by vehicle, which will wind through the High Atlas Mountains up Tizi-n-Tichka pass and into the Dades Valley. This lush valley—a green oasis in an otherwise red-colored region—is the beginning of the Todra Gorge. Tinerhir is the last village you will encounter.

Blessed with some of the world’s best waves and most diverse surf spots around, the Agadir region of Morocco is one of the top places to learn, improve or practice surfing…whatever your ability. So why not add some surf lessons to your holiday and experience the ultimate surf adventure here in Morocco!

GO WILD

n the border of Morocco lies the desert inhabited by the tribes of the Ait Atta du Sahara. It contains the first oasis reached from Timbuktu after sixty days of camel caravan. An area where escorts were needed to pass the Touaregs and warrior Berbers. Our trek goes to the huge sand dunes of the L'oued Drâa, an environment which contains memories of the centuries of human endurance needed to cross this link between South and North. Experience the immense solitude of the desert, and see the incredible clarity of the stars and constellations which light up the nights. Erg Chebbi, Morocco, is the only Sahara sand dune in Morocco. Erg Chebbi in Morocco is 22 kilometers long and 5 kilometers wide. The dunes in Erg Chebbi reach a maximum height of 150 meters. Apart from the dunes in Erg Chebbi, Morocco, the nearest centre for tourists is the village of Merzouga, Morocco. There are many legends and myths related to Erg Chebbi, Morocco. One legend considers the Erg Chebbi a punishment from God to the locals of nearby Merzouga for not giving shelter to a woman and her child during a festival. As a result a sandstorm came and buried Merzouga as it existed then..

AGADIR :) Quelques images de cette ville tranquille!!

Unlike other North African nations, Morocco has been largely occupied by one group of people for as long as recorded history can recall. The Berbers, or Imazighen (free men), settled in the area thousands of years ago and at one time controlled all of the land between Morocco and Egypt. Divided into clans and tribes, they have always jealously guarded their independence. It's this fierce spirit that has helped preserve one of Africa's most fascinating cultures.

Morocco has a charm of its own. Morocco’s deserts and oasis, beaches and mountains mesmerise you with their beauty even as its interesting history and culture impress you. You could wind surf by the Atlantic coast or go hiking on the Rif mountains and shop at the medina of old Fes, one of the largest living medieval cities in the world. Morocco is a traveller’s delight.
